In a wide-ranging, year-end interview with NPR, the president says he makes "no apologies" for going after ISIS "appropriately and in a way that is consistent with American values." The interview comes as Obama's strategy to fight terror is receiving low approval from the public and fierce criticism from the right for not being more forceful. The president also discusses his concern that campus activists aren't hearing other points of view, the legacy of his climate deal and why he feels Donald Trump is "exploiting" the anger and fear of some American voters.

This man is too intelligent to be the President of the United States

+someone2307 wrote: *"This man is too intelligent to be the President of the United States"* - He is a somewhat better liar than the typical thieving neo-communist god-mocking control-freak liar in the Demonic Party. That's probably what made you so willingly swallow the stupid idea that he possesses greater intelligence than the average Democrat or Republican.

@SamJones1337 8 лет назад

+randalusa I remember people telling me that the only reason that I thought Sarah Palin was dumb was because the news media was spreading that idea. Actually, I had listened to her interviews and formed that opinion both rapidly and independently. That's when I realized that dumb people can't recognize smart people. If you don't realize that President Obama is intelligent, or if you think that this thought is some idea passed around, then I have a hunch as to why that is.

+Edie Anderson Delivered _what_? The man has fked up the country. More unemployed, more national debt, race relations set back years, healthcare more expensive and in worse shape than when he started. Foreign policy is in the sh*tter. He has given Iran the Bomb and kowtowed to Muslim countries. The pulling out of all troops in Iraq leading to the rise of ISIS. The failure of just about every green company his govt subsidized (one of the biggest being Solyndra). And the scandals. The NSA spying, the using of the IRS against conservative groups, Benghazi, Fast and Furious and the death or border agent Brian Terry. The VA scandal. The prisoner swap for deserter Bowe Bergdahl. I could go on... All while he and his family live it up in the WH, go on vacation after vacation, and he plays golf.

@undertakr 8 лет назад

+da5idnz Decreased unemployment, decreased deficit, more honest race relations, health care given to millions of people without it, foreign relations in better standing than since Iraq invasion, one real chance for the bomb to be delayed in Iran actually taken, the reversal of the Iraq war which was a completely misguided lie that cost us thousands of soldier's lives, for nothing. NSA spying was started by the Bush administration. Benghazi is just as much a conspiracy theory as 'Where's the birth certificate', he's de-escalated the drug war, tried funding the VA only to be blocked by republicans... There is another side to every point you've raised. There is no real communication between the sides of this country anymore. The hatred for Obama is so extreme that people are inventing things to say about him, with no relationship to the facts anymore. Is he perfect? No. Is he what you say he is? No.

@Chesapeakej4 8 лет назад

It's understandable why many in America do not Obama. His manner, leadership style, policies, and people skills are intelligent, subtle, and calculated. His worldview extends well beyond the shores of the United States and in turn, he is shown great respect by world leaders. Most of his strength, which has translated into America's strength, comes in the form of long term relationship building, strategic planning, and demonstrating real care for the views of all people- including those he does not agree with. Obama plays American politics like a game of chess, when most of his critics, and most republicans in general, are playing checkers. He is undervalued and under appreciated by those who can not speak the language of subtlety, refuse to think critically, or who are driven by knee-jerk reactions and fear. He's simply "on another level".

What better point about climate change can be made than what President Obama stated here? When TWO HUNDRED COUNTRIES come together to talk about and agree on this issue, maybe you should rethink your ignorant opinion. This isn't some conspiracy. What would people stand to gain from wanting to prevent global warming other than preserving our world for future generations?

Other than your cockamamie theory, what else could all the world leaders and scientist get out of scaring everyone half to death over climate change? Huh? Hmmm, maybe they're doing this bc it's an actual threat. Frankly, you would be laughed out of academic circles for being a climate change detractor. You might as well claim the world is flat too, or that the Earth is the center of the galaxy.

That kind of transparency from our leader is part of what makes America great. Now excuse me while I go brace myself for a bombardment of hate from those who want to call me ignorant and moronic for inferring any level of transparency coming from American leadership.

@HomeAtLast501 3 года назад

Integrity? He lied during the 2008 campaign about planning to place tariffs on China to protect our jobs, about renegotiating NAFTA, about creating a healthcare plan that made our monthly premiums "about the price of your monthly cell phone bill", about ending the wars abroad, about keeping special interests out of his administration, about cutting our national debt, about broadcasting the healthcare planning live over C-SPAN, about broadcasting meetings with lobbyists live over the Internet...I'm exhausted, so I'll stop there.

This man is so intelligent and so well spoken. People really need to understand the situation in the middle east. Its not as simple as "putting boots on the ground". It begins with Hussein in 2003 and the conflicts of Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis. The understanding of the relationship between these groups is essential in making smart decisions. Also, we support the FSA which fights alongside ISIS against Assad but we are trying to redirect their goals so that they focus on beating ISIS. I am not saying we should do one thing or another, but before you get on here and talk down on our president, learn about the actual situation in the middle east and ignore the talking head on CNN or FOX

Don't succumb to the media! We need to come together as a country and have a stronger sense of nationalism and faith in our Executive branch. This country has turned into a feeding frenzy amongst eachother. It has become a country that preaches hatred and discrimination to both Muslims/Immigrants etc, instead of remembering the core values that this great country was established upon. We don't even need ISIS to destroy us, we are doing it to ourselves.. WE (the people + congress + media) needs to change, and this country will be great again.

Probably not, and there can be arguments made in areas where he couldn't know shit about the subject. But it doesn't make him a complete idiot. He is an intellectual person, as I would argue Bush was in his term in office, who takes actions on his point of view and morals. People are waaay too critical of the president. Every action has a reaction, and we as citizens do not really think about that. Just an opinion.

When one chooses to use the "card" on race or other matters, doing so also means you think you KNOW how other people THINK. This is just not possible. You get clues, and maybe they are leaning in the direction that you intend in the use of the "card" but in many cases, it is wrong and not true. We as humans do not have the ability to know how people think. Further, people say many things, sometimes harshly, but that does not make up the person in their entirety. It would be my guess that no one knows what Obama thinks or feels, because as a President, he is conflicted and leaves me disappointed and confused.

Why is blue collar frustration about the economy "misdirected"?

@princeakeem8646 8 лет назад

+bon vivant because xenophobia, the fear of Mexicans, Muslims and blacks is not what makes america great. Their frustrations should be directed at the leaders of corporate America who stash trillions of dollars abroad in tax havens, don't pay a living wage and fight every effort to tax the pittance they retain in the united states. We bailed corporate execs out post-2008, in turn they should make an effort to help us out a little.

bon vivant Please point out where I called you names, whereas you call me an idiot in the first sentence. Where did I call you racist? You say I have never studied in college. How do you know that for sure? I won't question your opinions on the issue because you are a military person whose opinions are always right.

+bon vivant America will never be a socialist country. Do you honestly think that everyone can come to America and collect free shit...maybe move to Hollywood and fuck Pamela Anderson? That's not how this country works. If you work hard, or have big tits, you can do well here. If you sit on your ass and complain, you're the problem. We don't need people that will tread on the system and not pay into it. Nothing is ever free. When our President begins to think that free shit is a right, we are fucked. Someone has to pay. When he is letting people come into our country and not making them pay, someone else has to. It's pretty simple shit.

+bon vivant Illegals do pay taxes (sales tax at the very least), and get few if any free government services. Where are they getting free healthcare? Why are all those uninsured Americans not getting this free insurance that the illegals are supposedly taking? Do yourself a favor and watch the episode of Morgan Spurlock's "Inside Man" about illegal immigration. Take a look at the type of jobs those guys are taking... I doubt you will take any of them.

When asked why he wasn't popular with working class' voters in 2008, "And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations" When asked about his comment 7 years later.... "Look... I was elected twice by decent majorities so..." This is exactly why I don't like this man. This is why people would consider voting for Trump. It's not his position, it's his tact that I don't like. His comments are, many times, polarizing and arrogant. I give him credit for being honest about who he is, and what he has accomplished, but I would expect the leader of a country as diverse as the US to be objective. He's almost of a "let them eat cake level".
