the president is barack obama
It is too soon to say if Barack Obama is a great president. He may be seen that way one day in the future, but right now, there is no objective way to judge. Usually, such decisions are made by historians years after that president has been in office, when they evaluate what he achieved. Currently, partisans on both sides will weigh in: his critics will say he has done nothing great, while his supporters will say he has certainly shown greatness. To avoid those kinds of biased responses, it is usually better to wait a while and see how Mr. Obama will look in comparison with other presidents.
Whether you agree with his politics or not, there is no evidence President Obama plans to destroy the country. Just like all of the presidents we have had, he came into office hoping to make the country better. Partisans on both sides can debate how effective he has been as president, but the majority of Americans have put their trust in him, and he has won a second term in office. Thus, many Americans believe he is trying to help the country, rather than harm it.
President Obama is known for being calm in a crisis and for being willing to listen to different points of view. He has defended America very forcefully: his foreign policy leadership has led to the death of Osama Bin Laden and the deaths of many top Al-Qaeda leaders. But the question of whether he is a "good leader" is subjective-- his political opponents will say he is not, while his supporters will say he is. It is safe to say the president has exerted excellent leadership in some areas, especially diplomacy and foreign policy, while in others (such as bringing together the two bickering sides in congress), he has been less successful.
Yes, he has said he did enjoy it, although at times, he found it frustrating. Barack Obama came to the US senate hopeful of being able to bring both sides together on issues (which was his reputation during three terms in the Illinois state senate). But the Republicans still controlled congress in 2004, and there was often congressional gridlock, and a lack of bipartisanship. Senator Obama had committed himself to a career in politics by that time, and was determined to work with Republicans. Sometimes, he was able to do so, and forged some strong friendships, especially with Senator Chuck Hagel. But at other times, he was unable to make any progress. That said, he has told reporters that he did find being a US senator an amazing opportunity.
I certainly hope not, and I am sure all of us here (including people on all sides of the political spectrum) would never wish such a terrible fate on any president, whether we agree with that president or not. That said, Mr. Obama has received death threats from extremists, several of whom have been arrested; sadly, nearly all presidents have received threats from people who disliked them or disliked their policies. But presidents receive very strong protection from the Secret Service, and so far, Mr. Obama has been kept safe. All Presidents are open to being assassinated, and President Obama is no more or less likely than most Presidents. Presidents are sometimes threatened by organized crime when they are tough on organized crime, or threatened by anti-government extremists. This has happened to many presidents. But let's hope it does not ever happen that another president is killed.
In politics, scaffolding is used to move suggested notions beyond their current developmental stage or approval level and into progressively more lenient standards, which President Obama refuses to take sides on.
It depends on who is answering the question. For a number of reasons, President Obama (much like his predecessor, President Bush) is a very polarizing figure in American politics. That said, there are many Americans who admire and respect President Obama, even if they may not always agree with him. He has defended America very forcefully: his foreign policy leadership has led to the death of Osama Bin Laden and the deaths of many top Al-Qaeda leaders. But the question of whether he is a "good leader" is subjective-- his political opponents will say he is not, while his supporters will say he is. It is safe to say the president has exerted excellent leadership in some areas, while in others (such as bringing together the two bickering sides in congress), he has been less successful.

It depends on which year. When this question was first asked, Barack Obama was running against his Republican opponent John McCain, whom he defeated in 2008. Prior to getting the Democratic nomination, Mr. Obama had to first run against Hillary Clinton. Then, in 2012, Mr. Obama defeated his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. There were other third-party candidates running, but it was mainly an Obama vs. Romney battle.
Obama held a meeting with both sides of congress last Tuesday at the white house to talk about immagration laws. Though some laws were a little strick, obamas plan was not to stop all illegal immigrants from entering into the united states. He wants to ensure that if coming to the united states of America is what they really want then therefor they must take all necessary requirements to actually become legal. Our president Mr. Barack Obama is a fair yet strict president but wants to ensure that all rights to an American citizen can be givin to ANY other resident coming to our country.
First, it is part of campaigning (and both sides do it constantly) to "take shots" at your opponent, and is not unusual at all. Mr. Romney is going to various places and doing his own "taking shots" of President Obama. Expect more of this as the 2012 election continues. Voters say they dislike negative campaigning, but they seem to remember it and, sad to say, it can affect their vote. Regarding what President Obama has done with his presidency, he has actually achieved many things: you may not agree with his politics or his policies, but it is not accurate to imply he has done nothing other than criticize his opponents. A link to some of the president's achievements, compiled by his supporters, is below.
