Obama has demonstrated no desire to make tough choices. Americans demand a more efficient, effective government, but his budget calls for more taxes and more spending. It employs deceptive accounting gimmicks but does nothing to tackle long-term entitlement problems, nothing to save Medicare or fix Social Security.
‐‐ Reince Priebus
Obama has figured out the best method to prepare the way for his verbal Houdini acts: Use political noise as the tune-up din before the aria. Perhaps his body temperature is so low, it sometimes takes him too long to break out the song.
‐‐ Tina Brown
Obama has little or nothing to do with the civil-rights movement. His roots are in Kenya, and he is shaped far more by anti-colonialism than by anything that Martin Luther King said or did.
‐‐ Dinesh D'Souza
Obama has made America cool again - and more than that, he's made his own brand arguably the most powerful the world has ever known.
‐‐ Dee Dee Myers
Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safe.
‐‐ Michael T. Flynn
Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies, which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.
‐‐ Muqtada al Sadr
Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens, and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much.
‐‐ Donald Trump
Obama has now lost his trustworthiness. He has lost any hope of majority support from the American people for his agenda. Obamacare has wiped that out. It really has.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama has offered no solutions; his Democratic majority in the Senate has failed to produce a budget in 1,200 days; and they have both obstructed the Republicans' proposed remedies.
‐‐ David Limbaugh
Obama has placed himself in perfect political position: he spent the 2008 campaign convincing the American people that he's a racial unifier rather than a divider, without any evidence to prove it.
‐‐ Ben Shapiro
Obama has proved to be particularly adept at using the media to disseminate his administration's messages, but he is a masterful orator. Bill Clinton, too.
‐‐ Rebecca Traister
Obama has refused to equip, or to arm, any rebel groups fighting Assad or his forces.
‐‐ Terry Glavin
Obama has seen to the passage of the most radical legislation in recent American history and so-called 'progressives' should be thanking him for it - even as many of the rest of us rear in horror from its implications.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Obama has succeeded in descending even below George W. Bush in approval in the Arab world. It's minuscule, few percent.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Obama hasn't been divisive just because his policies are so unpopular, though that's a large part of it.
‐‐ David Limbaugh
Obama hasn't lost his standing because of tricks played by the Republicans. He hasn't lost his standing because the media's not fair to him. He hasn't lost his standing or his approval number because the media spent four years attacking him like they did George W. Bush. This is all on him.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama hasn't passed a budget in four years, he's a wuss. Obama has rejected the recommendation of his own Simpson-Bowles, on a budget package, he's a wuss. He wants to lead from behind, he's a wuss!
‐‐ John Sununu
Obama hates selling. He thinks people should just accept the right thing to do.
‐‐ Maureen Dowd
Obama, he wouldn't have been in office without what happened to me and a lot of black people before me. He would never have been in that situation, no doubt in my mind. He would get there eventually, but it would have been a lot longer. So I am glad for what I went through. It opened the doors for a lot of people.
‐‐ Rodney King
Obama himself has been highly supportive of Mubarak.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Obama, in pursuit of power, has been as greedy and irresponsible as any Wall Street tycoon in pursuit of money.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Obama invented himself against all odds and repeated parental abandonment, and he worked hard to regiment his emotions. But now that can come across as imperviousness and inflexibility. He wants to run the agenda; he doesn't want the agenda to run him. Once you become president, though, there's no way to predict what your crises will be.
‐‐ Maureen Dowd
Obama is a fine, very impressive person. He really is. Unfortunately, everything that he is doing in economics is exactly wrong. He is a crappy president.
‐‐ Arthur Laffer
Obama is a great leader. He can fire people up and get them to do what he wants.
‐‐ Penn Jillette
Obama is a great man who's just beginning to understand the realities. And I'm not just saying that because he reads my books. I would have voted for him anyway.
‐‐ E. L. Doctorow
Obama is a guy who claims to be unaware that there was a Tea Party, a guy that's detached from the country.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Obama is a leveler. He has come to narrow the divide between rich and poor. For him the ultimate social value is fairness. Imposing it upon the American social order is his mission.
‐‐ Charles Krauthammer
Obama is a man of first-class intellect and first-class temperament. But his character remains highly suspect.
‐‐ Charles Krauthammer
Obama is a president, who I think is anti-jobs.
‐‐ Rick Perry
Obama is a statist. He's an authoritarian. He doesn't want to govern; he wants to rule.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama is a tyrant the same way FDR was a tyrant. He has a view of presidential power that states: the government is in control of the country, and the president is in charge of the government. He's taken an imperial view of the presidency.
‐‐ David Mamet
Obama is a very good actor. He knows how to play it. And he is very adept at creating this 'Obama' - this character who is there whenever the world needs something.
‐‐ Jon Voight
Obama is an intelligent man whose life and work experience sensitize him to class distinctions.
‐‐ Timothy Noah
Obama is as likely to be impeached as he is to be installed as the next pontiff. And I say that as someone who has testified in Congress that this president has violated federal laws, unconstitutionally appointed various executive-branch officers and improperly transferred money.
‐‐ Jonathan Turley
Obama is capable - as evidenced by his first-term success with health care reform. But mandate-building requires humility, a trait not easily associated with him.
‐‐ Ron Fournier
Obama is cutting back on the idea that we're going to have Jeffersonian democracy in Pakistan or anywhere else.
‐‐ Robert Dallek
Obama is dedicated to a 'drip, drip' doctrine.
‐‐ Mike McCaul
Obama is defining himself in a way that will destroy him.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?
‐‐ Curtis Jackson
Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama is like the kid brother whose only standard for judging his own achievements is the records his big brother set.
‐‐ Elliott Abrams
Obama is making a choice now that will lead to the deaths of many thousands of civilians in Afghanistan by American hands. By ordinary standards of presidents, he is a decent man. But those standards aren't good enough. He's in a position either to kill or not to kill, and he's made the decision to kill.
‐‐ Daniel Ellsberg
Obama is not Bill Clinton. I don't think he's willing to let conservatives have any victories at all.
‐‐ Bill Flores
Obama is not only obstructing budget reform; it's almost as if he is trying to make matters worse.
‐‐ David Limbaugh
Obama is not the messiah any longer. He is now your standard, ordinary, everyday politician who lies, who breaks promises, who's in it for himself, who can't do anything on his own. He's not qualified. All of this is becoming known, sadly, too late.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama is talking to voters as though he is their boss, or their principal, or their father. He is not any of those things. He is their employee. And employers don't like it when their employees yell at them - even if their employees have it right.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Obama is telling the insurance companies, as a dictator would, what they can and can't do or what they must or must not do.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever talk of morning in America.
‐‐ John Ridley
Obama is the new kid with the weird name who people just sense is a little classier than his surroundings. He moved from a private school where he was class president and is now at the giant public high school with the metal detectors and the smoking lounge.
