Im just curious to why people don't like Obama?

Question

He hasn't done anything to make people dislike him, hes even against Bush and I think we can all agree that Bush wasn't one of our greatest presidents.

Answer 1

Did you watch the convention? If so you'd know the answer to that stupid question.

Answer 2

What has he ever accomplished? What has he done to make people like him? He has in one way or another insulted just about every one in the U.S.A. It's just that some are too blinded to know they were insulted.

He is also a carbon copy of Jimmy Carter, and he was a far worse president than Bush. For those old enough to remember, Carter was the basis for the "misery index".

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 3

He has done something that I dislike.  When Obama started his political career he solicited the support of Bill Ayres.  Mr. Ayres and his wife Bernadine Dorhn are members of the SDS Weather Underground.  She actually has a conviction from their antics.  Both are declared enemies of the United States.

Answer 4

You are who you associate with.  If you don't believe me, go ask your mother.  

Answer 5

It's his ideology dummy. He's a Marxist.

Answer 6

Sure, we can agree Bush isn't one of our best Presidents.  Most of us, the honest ones, can also agree Bill Clinton was one of our worst.

O's is likable and intelligent.  Not a gifted speaker like Bill, better than Bush when he has a teleprompter.  But being good at giving a speech and lying aren't as good as poorly telling the truth.

Obama is just an inexperienced, far-left extremist.  He's proven he will say anything he thinks will get him votes.  His voting record shows he avoids voting on key issues, he just votes present.

His only message is hate and change.  The biggest change we need now is from the hypocritical corruption in D.C. controlled by Pelosi and Reid.  Maybe if he'd drop the tired old hate-Bush mantra, he could gain some respect.

Answer 7

Not voting for Him does not mean he is disliked.It means he's not trusted.

Answer 8

Because America is inherently racist and ignorant.  Very few are truly educated about much -- instead of researching someone or something they rely on the heresay of their favorite biased channel and then repeat  off the cuff reactions and statements.

He is your modern America, made up of cultures coming together and experiencing the world from many vantage points.  He is also highly educated-- which apparently is threatening to many.

Answer 9

I don't like his empty rhetoric. Plus his views are nearly polar opposite from mine.  

Answer 10

They are all racist.  Many white people have stated to me that they would never vote for a black man .  They always talk when there are only white people around.  They make their statements thinking that I agree with them. They are all ashamed of their views because they do not make them around non-whites.

Answer 11

I like Obama as a person and I don't have an issue with his race or age. I have a problem with the fact that based on his voting record he is the most liberal senator in the country. He studied socialists and his wife even quoted Saul Olinsky, a famous socialist, in her speech last week. He think that wealth should be shared and even said in his own speech that the time of the individual is over and it's time for communities instead. Tax increases don't work, no matter who they are on. Less spending is the change we need. He just wants to spend more but have different people pay for it.  

Answer 12

Obama opposed a law that would protect LIVE new-born babies!

Obama attended a racist Church for 20 years!

Obama is "friendly" with admitted terrorist Bill Ayers!

Obama is corrupt! He allowed a slum-lord KNOWN to be under investigation for fraud (now convicted) to "help" him buy a house Obama could not afford!

Why do people like him? Because he gives a good speech? Because he is "black"? Because he talks of "hope" and "change"?

Obama is only talk, his ACTIONS do not support his words.

Answer 13

He insults america by running for president when he has no buisness being in the election. Also he has successfully tricked the uneducated liberals who will vote for him. Not very nice to take advantage of idiots.

Answer 14

He is not disliked, he managed to fill a stadium and attract 34 million viewers.

American who do not succumb to fear love him. The world loves him. He brings a lot of hope to this country.

Answer 15

His policies would destroy the economy. Somehow he wants to lower tax for the poor and middle class while spending extreme amounts of money... it would not work.

There seem to be a lot of jerks who say that if you don't like Obama you are an uneducated racist. Yet I'd invite you to listen to his speeches. They sound nice. What actual plans does he have though?

Answer 16

It's just a matter of what you believe in. If you are a Republican, you are probably not going to like a Democrat candidate and vice versa. Obama has not done anything wrong, and I think he would make a great president.

I just thought of something. It could be that he is black. There are still a lot of racist people out there, and that could be a turn-off for them, even if they are Democrats.

Answer 17

LOL....I like my Mother-In-Law but she is not qualified to be President either.

On second thought, maybe she is more qualified than Obama ?

Answer 18

He just gave one speech against Iraq war. I have read his entire speech. Asked the campaign  for the audio but they refused. Now he is adding extra things to his speech in hindsight. I think he opposed Iraq war because of his Muslim heritage and upbringing. He has a soft spot for those countries. He thinks we are the aggressors, like most other muslims. Now he is just trying to exploit his speech. People's frustration with war and media's tendency to go to the other extreme in fear of being labeled as racist is helping him. One thing I like about him is the way he has made most out of this opportunity. He is a great speaker. But then again I think it was driven by personal ambition. I wonder if he would be able to do the same for this country. Will he have the same passion for this nation and its people? If I could find an affirmative answer for this question then I would vote for him.

Answer 19

Arrogance. He has acted like he had the credential for this job from day one.

He also has a socialist attitude.

Answer 20

Because he's an inexperienced self-important socialist.

Answer 21

Are you kidding?

He has gone to a black theology church for over 20 years.  That is completely ridiculous.  And he only stopped going once he knew it would affect his political chances.

He has been friends with, and is still friends with some very irresponsible, illegal, disrespectful traitors of our country.

He voted to let a woman's choice override the health and well being of a perfectly live infant.

He said that having a baby is "punishment" if it is unwanted.  A child is never anything but a blessing.

He purchased his home through very shady deals with very shady people.

He claims to be a "regular" guy, but is far from it.

He wants to take my hard earned money and give it to lazy people who can't keep a job, or to women who can't figure out how to keep their legs closed and pay for their own children.

He will put our country in extreme danger with his naive and irresponsible methods to dealing with terrorists.

I don't hate the man, but I certainly don't like him, and don't want him to be in charge of the free world!

Answer 22

1.His answers are not his.

2.He doesnt speak from his heart but from a teleprompter

3. Too "plastic"

4.Ultra liberal

5. Eliteist

6.Sexist

Need more?

Answer 23

haters who are biased and racist

Answer 24

he has proven himself to be nothing more than a good cheer leader, his policy plan clearly is a contradiction in itself and will be a failure, plus he has made full concessions to the party establishment and is a jimmy cxarter version 2.0.    

Answer 25

Hmm...the fact that he is a socialist who dislikes his own country and has terrorist ties might have something to do with it.  

Answer 26

The truth is that Americans like to vote for people that they percieve as being most like themselves.  Since 75% of all Americans are white, and Obama is black, he doesn't fit the perception of what most people view as being most like themselves.

I don't think that this is 'racism' although many would disagree with me.     I think that this is human nature.

I also think that there are many aspects of human nature that aren't good...... This Being Primary among them.

Answer 27

Because he isn't white.  

Answer 28

He's pretty much insulted all of rural America, gun owners and people of faith.  His messiah complex is getting quite old.

A lot of people just don't like people with patronizing attitudes.
