Obama - Thoughts???

It seems as though more people see Obama as evil (part of ISIS).

Do you think this is true or do you think he's just very weak on foreign policy and everything else? lol

No I don't think Obama is part of ISIS.

no not at all. I don't think he is part of ISIS.  That would be nuts.

That's insane.  Is this a serious question?  I literally can't think of a single policy that I agree with him about, but disagreeing with his policies doesn't lead me to believe he's a terrorist.

I need to stay off Facebook. I don't personally feel this way about him but have seen many posts on threads on The White House's FB page. Many people apparently think he is purposely ruining this country and in with bad people.

There are a lot of paranoid people out there - best to stay off of You Tube as well.

I never read comments to political figures.  I've also been unfollowing at an alarming speed the past couple weeks.

The crazy super right wing conservative group need to get the eff off facebook. I'm a Republican but often feel embarrassed to tell people that because of all the crazy people who don't follow any sort of logic and think Obama is literally the anti-Christ. I truly in the bottom of my heart believe Obama tries to do what's best for this country and cares about the United States' future. I just usually disagree with what he think is best for this and country and its future.

I feel the exact same way!  But then I remember there are people on both sides like that and most of us are somewhere in between.

Unfortunately it is the extremists and the crazies, on both sides of the table, who are usually the most vocal!

I really like the way you said the bolded @nkjacobsma.  And I don't mean specifically for Obama.  I think this is an important point for anyone to keep in mind about a politician(s) they dislike, myself included.  With few exceptions, most politicians in office strive to do what they think is best for the communities they represent...whether that be a city, state, or the entire country.

So, its fine to disagree with their policies, but to start making outlandish "anti-Christ", "spy", "part of ISIS" claims about anyone is either total hyperbole or tin-foil hat time (if they actually believe it).
