Bad President? Prove it!

There's a lot of people that is saying that President Obama is a "Bad President," but what I have not heard was why. Obama is doing pretty well considering how the economy was before he became President. Of course he has made some mistakes but who hasn't. Everybody is not perfect. In this commentary he list a few things where critics say he messed up at, but there's also an example of someone doing worse.

'He should have pushed for a much bigger stimulus in 2009. That's the view of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, now gospel among liberals. It's true economically but bears no relationship to the political truth of that period. Consider that in December 2008, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a hardcore liberal Democrat, proposed a $165 billion stimulus and said he would be ecstatic if it went to $300 billion. President-elect Obama wanted to go over $1 trillion but was told by House Democrats that it absolutely wouldn't pass. In exchange for the votes of three Republicans in the Senate he needed for passage, Obama reduced the stimulus to $787 billion, which was still almost five times Rendell's number and the largest amount that was politically possible.'

That was a quote from this article that I have heard plenty of people say that's why Obama is a bad president, but what people fail to realize is that Obama has to go through other people for approval of things he want to do. Yes he's president but he don't have that much power.

For everybody that has said, "Obama is a bad President," or anything similar to that should read this commentary and if you have any facts to prove that what was said in this article was wrong please leave a comment.
