Humility: President Obama Thinks He May Be One of the Greatest First Term Presidents Ever

President Obama's legislative accomplishments are a Stimulus bill that is widely acknowledged as a failure and Obamacare, which 55% of voters want repealed and it may be unconstitutional anyway. On the foreign policy front, Obama has chilled our relations with our two closest allies, Israel and Britain. He is allowing Iran to get the nuclear bomb. We are at near war with Pakistan. Our relations with the Russians are a a recent low point. Arab spring has toppled friendly regimes in the Middle East and replaced them with ones that may embrace fundamental Islam. Our economy is in shambles. Voters took control of the House away for Obama and Democrats in a historic mid-term election in 2010. President Obama is one of the worst first term Presidents, not the best.

I would not say he is the worst, but near the bottom, probably Hoover was the worst. As for Arab spring we really need one in Saudi Arabia so we can break our dependence on their oil. Friendly nations? Excuse me but Pakistan is an example of Middle East friendly. As for the unemployment it does not matter, because none of the present two party system have a clue how to fix it. They do not have a clue what they are doing to America.
