OK, before you start judging the Obama presidency, you have to first look back at the 1st & 2nd term of George W. Bush. To make it simple, picture this analogy. Bill Clinton drove the truck of economic prosperity up the hill (profits) and then he handed the wheel over to George W. Bush. George W. Bush went down the hill. Then the pedals broke. He handed the wheel to Obama, saying "It's not MY fault." then he jumped off the truck. Obama grabbed the steering wheel, and managed to stop just before the fiscal cliff. If you get that analogy, you understand that the economy of the U.S. has been declining for 14 years now, and it's hard to stop a collapse that big. You may look at his Affordable Health Care Act, and scoff, saying "Why do I have to pay for someone else's health care?" Which isn't true, because you pay for theirs with your tax payer dollars, and in turn, they pay yours. Which brings me to my 2nd point. Just because our economy is declining doesn't mean that we deny all our duties as a superpower of the world. We don't stop all our efforts of stopping terror, or helping kids in Cambodia. We should not neglect these duties because of our own selfish reasons. If we were really deep in debt, we would sell our land to different countries, live in grass huts, and stop all systems of entertainment. Obama is doing a good job of trying to stop the economic decline, and also helping other countries that are more needy than us.
