OBAMA was the best President in the world

[Sithara007]

In my opinion Obama was a really good president of USA at least because he could withdraw most of the troops from Iraq

Anyone could have done that. But what Obama did was he withdrew the troops from Iraq, even before the job was complete. And as a result of this stupidity the ISIS captured 75% of the Iraqi territory within the next few years. And you are crediting Obama for this blunder?

Barack Obama is the best President in the world because he combines both intelligence, strength,Characters and charisma that held world leaders spellbound and in awe of him through his 8 years in the white house. He is easy going, passionate, articulate and highly diplomatic on issues with global ramifications. He clearly demonstrates what it means and takes to be a leader of the free world, opting for dialogue and diplomacy over force and threats of Bombs. Obama is a classical example of a global other that goes beyond the war narrative. Pulling the US out of the recession hole dug by BUSH and reviving an economy that was on a free  fall shows strength, and leadership  that is unrivalled. Who do you think is the best world president ?

The only thing that was exceptional in Obama is charisma. I don't see why is he stronger, or why is he more intelligent than Trump. When it comes to war narrative and such things, I think that Obama is definitely bigger warmongerer that Trump. What do you think who was arming all those rebels in Syria, from wich many becomes ISIS. About best president in world, i cant deside really. I respect Angela Merkel let's say, and Chinese Xi Jinping.

I like Obama, but he is not the best president in the world. He made some mistakes. Obama overrides Congress, signs waiver to send $192 million to Palestinian Authority, and the current Palestinian Government is currently sided with Hamas and other Jihadist groups. Also, he didn't succeed in the sphere of unemployment

Considering the economy and accumulated debt was larger than ever at the end of Obamas terms, your premise is fundamentally wrong. Considering that obama did absolutely nothing to stifle war as you suggest, and instead waged something akin to a total war against civilians, both abroad and domestic, you're completely wrong.

Obama is the same guy who increased the American federal debt by $10 trillion, right? I am surprised that so many people are still having a good opinion about him. I couldn't list a single significant achievement of Obama during all the 8 years.

The best I guess was Roosevelt, who brought US to the level it's still on politically, economically, military and so on.. Obama couldn't keep all his promises, spent too much money on nothing, and also worsen relations with Russia, what potentially brings the world to dangerous conflict

He increased the federal debt by 10 trillion in just 8 years. Can you believe it? That is $1,250 billion per year. Every year under Obama, the per capita debt increased by a massive $4,200. Where did all this money vanished?

[dusunbesemah]

I do not agree with this, I think the world's best president is Soekarno the first president who came from Indonesia, he is brave and firm.

Obama is the best Presidents in the world. Presidents should be measured across range of metrics, not just a single issue. If Obama were measured solely against the effectiveness of his foreign policy, he would not rank very well, but when measured against all of the challenges he faced in his two terms, he comes out pretty well, especially when you consider that Mitch McConnell's stated objective was to block him at every step. Obama took us from the brink of economic disaster back to a healthy and growing economy. Even though "Obama-care" has many needed fixes, he managed to make health care insurance available to all. So there is a long list of good things he did. And then there is who he was as a leader and a human being. He modeled being a good father, faithful husband and compassionate leader.

I was thinking the same like you too on the debt. But that does not mean he didn't do anything at all right. He brought obamacare to Americans and gave the gay community their right.

[Mojo2012]

There were a lot worse presidents, but to call him the best in the workd is a bit too much. How many other presidents do you even know?
Well I liked him because he was different in a good way. But why all the drone bombing?

[shalasrilanka]

yes i think Obama is better than other president in world.Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, and the first African American to serve in the office. First elected to the presidency in 2008, he won a second term in 2012.
In spite of opposition from Congressional Republicans and the populist Tea Party movement, Obama signed his health care reform plan, known as the Affordable Care Act, into law in March 2010. The new law prohibited the denial of coverage based on per-existing conditions.he is good president in world...

I appreciate your current opinion / support,
I think Barack Obama is a good president, fair and has a humorous personality, but I do not agree if you consider Mr. President Barack Obawa the best, because what you've ever felt the president's leadership in other countries ?, of course not, so do not conclude so quickly .

[Daseento]

Different strokes for different folks my friend. He's human and definitely not perfect, in my opinion there are other issues he should have dealt more with but chickened out probably out of fear. The new POTUS, Trump has got lot of balls, diplomacy doesn't apply in all situation.

I agree with your opinion. The best policy shown by Obama is diplomacy. He is an intelligent president and able to solve global problems well.
While the best president in my opinion is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He tried to be patient and diplomatic well with all western and eastern leaders despite being under pressure. I admire his passion for world peace.

[Mojo2012]

Still there is one big question? How do you define ‚the best president‘? In this forum a lot of guys kinda recite wikipedia like you shalasrilanka.
Noone asked when he was elected or that kinda stuff.
It always feels like alot of guys just post random stuff just to make posts ...
Truth is veryone has different ideas of the quality of a president, so everyone has his or her own best president.
We should argue about these qualities, like trutel did woth abbas! Although I dont fully agree with him.

During Obama's tenure as President, the USA have been divided in almost every front, he is the most divisive president ever in the USA, who couldn't do a thing to stop the Police from brutally killing his own black people because he didn't even care. He is without doubt the worst President ever.

In as much as I would not agree with the fact that he was the best president in the world, I think tagging him the worst president would be totally unfair as he deserves some accolades in some areas like health care and also for his eloquent speeches

[DJCanh]

The best president will be a robot)
Because they REALLY logical and will choose people in government not by relationships, but by their skills an knowledge

[Moana]

He was just the most photogenic one and most branded one, starting from the Nobel Prize for Peace which he got just before he started bombing countries again. In fact, he has bombed seven countries and is as such a mass murderer, just like the other Presidents. Just a better smile.
