Obama has NO clue how to create jobs. Obamacare is a fiasco and is driving up the cost of health care, not the mention the IRS, state department, and Bengazi scandals! Forgive me if any new scandals happened as I was writing this. The federal government is going broke if all else isn't enough. We probably have a major war brewing in the middle east, which will drive up the cost of oil, and kill jobs.

No, I am not optimistic but not because of the policies of the President but because the rabid right wants this President to fail and they are prepared to do whatever it takes to make that happen including driving the economy into a wall. But the GOP has already got a taste of the costs of this kind of obstructionism...unless they change course, the GOP will continue to weaken. Bob Dole said it all....but the GOP is TOO STUPID TO LISTEN...that is both good and bad.

Increasing taxes. 2000 pages of Health Care reform(200,000 if you include all the regulations and implimentation aspects), Benghazi, IRS scandal, hacking the phones of the AP, Fast and Furious, countless rounds of golf, and spiking political footballs left and right. Seriously, the only major event that the government has done during the 1st term that Obama claims any responsibility for or knowledge of is killing Osama Bin Laden and if we're honest with ourselves, that's probably the major event he was least involved in. Benghazi attacks; Obama knows nothing and was not responsible, despite being involved in the gun running to Syrian rebels which is speculated to be t...

No, partially because of the obstructionist tactics of the Right and partly because Obama can't settle in on Who He IS.. he keeps trying to emulate various past presidents and that keeps him from finding his own stride. Too bad.. there really was a lot of hope for his Presidency.. I doubt you can find too many people who feel that way now.

There will be higher taxes, more restrictive laws, more out of control EPA regulations, fewer jobs, higher unemployment, more debt, more out of control spending...and the list goes on. So no, I am anything BUT optimistic.

Nearly half the electorate didn't vote to re-elect Obama, nor do they support his policies, yet he governs as if he had some sort of mandate with his "my way or the highway" attitude, alienating half the nation. His definition of "compromise" is everyone agreeing with him, yet he is actually the least experienced President we've seen in my lifetime. His interest is only in furthering his marxist agenda, the Constitution and liberty mean nothing to him. He ignores the deep rooted problems our nation's economy faces while working to "fundamentally transform" our nation into something it was never meant to be. He ignored the economy during his first term, opting to push s...

Yes, but only if he grows a pair and stops giving in to the intransigent right, and pushes harder to represent the ideals he won a majority of the vote to do. Clean, renewable energy and infrastructure improvements should be at the top of the list. Both sorely needed, and a great way to boost the economy.

The last four years were bad, I can't even imagine what what he has in store for the next four ...or more. He's taking our Second Amendment Right, and working on taking the rest, some people can't accept he is leading us into Socialism or worse. They either can't understand it, or even scarier, is the fact that many seem to embrace it. That's only because they have always known Freedom and our Freedom came from much blood shed by our courageous patriots that fought and died for this great Nation...it's a New time , and one I know many will have regrets for the decision they made. Socialism/ Communism or Fascism doesn't work and we are headed in any of the three direc...

I believe that Obama's biggest failure in his first term was in trying to be a post partisan President. He got that completely and totally wrong. He assumed that the GOP would work with him to fix the country's problems. He should have known better. From the beginning the GOP has put party ahead of country and has obstructed as many of Obama's initiatives as they could. Over the last 2 years or so Obama has realized it and I think he will not only fight FOR America in the next 4 years but will fight GOP obstructionism instead of trying to compromise. The American people are with him in this effort and I expect to see more progress.

ONLY if Americans stop looking to the president as the answer to all our problems and start making their own elected representatives responsible and hold them accountable. I am not that optimistic about congress right now at all. Presidents can't do much without some cooperation and proper statesmanship from the legislature.
