"Obama is the best president of my lifetime."

[Frustratedlady]

60. After Obama has had 8 years in office, I'll come back and compare him to Clinton, God willing.

I realize it feels like Obama has been in office for a long time, but let's give him a break. You can't compare his 3 years to Clinton's 8. Be fair.

As for dealing with Republican opposition? Of course it comes with the job. Opposition didn't include treating him like a dog. I'd say Obama came up with some pretty clever maneuvers to throw it back in their faces without boasting about it. This young man has been taught how to use his manners; unfortunately, the Republicans skipped that class.

They inferred that he was a wimp. I think he proved them wrong on that count, as well.

I stand by my statement that Obama, having to contend with the racist attitude of the Republicans and Tea Party, had a lot to do with his accomplishments in this less than one term. You can't compare that to Clinton's BJ. Granted, that was a horrible time for Clinton, but it didn't cut to the soul like I'm sure much of the "coded" messages of the Republicans did to Obama. He's held his head high through it all and kept right on working.

I'm white and it broke my heart to see this treatment of him. I can't imagine the hurt this young family has endured as they took the high road to try to save face while being looked down on by those who should know better. Shame on them.
