CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I didn't know that man who invaded Libya, started a proxy war with Syria, send more troops to Afghanistan, signed the NDAA, re-signed the patriot act, has been involved in corruption since the start of his career, wants to massively downsize the military and favors high taxes and government take overs was the "better man."
That beats the last Republican who started two true wars (only one marginally justified), ruined our economy, divided the country, created the Patriot Act,and happen to take more vacation days than any Pres in history. And Mitt takes nearly the ideal positions that brought us that record. In that case it's easy, Obama is the man.
Obama invaded Libya and started a proxy war with Syria, that's two wars. Obama re-signed the patriot act. Obama has done a load of damage to the economy and has taken a ton of vacation days. Funny how you denounce Bush but support his political twin, Obama.
BamBam you're parents are on Dope! They probably help the mexicans bring that shit into the country. Who names a kid Barack and who's last name is Obama? Messed up parents... oh wait he never really did have parents cause he had 2 mothers and 2 fathers!
Because thats the important thing when picking a leader has he got a nice name and what were his parents like, do you people read your arguments before posting them?

The United States Made a huge mistake in voting for a guy who has been president for four years and has done nothing. gas has went threw the roof, as well as electricity, not to mention 16 trillion dollars of debt.
Let's not forget that Obama's hands have been tied by a Republican controlled house which has done its level best to play partisan politics at every turn, regardless of the damage it does. Obama's policies might have worked for the better if he hadn't had to have compromised with a party more interested in telling women what they can do with their bodies thana.actually fixing anything.
Oh my, someone needs a nap (and a fact check). Gas prices are not controlled by the President (as stated by GW Bush). Domestic energy production is at an all time high. Electricity prices increased much more dramatically under GW as well. Most of the debt you list also occurred under GW and GW's policies. Much of the new debt is a result of the recession and dropping revenue caused by (you guessed it), GW policies. I hate to blame poor George too much, but BO inherited a mess and all you conservatives seem to ignore that. By the way, BO has; helped assure equal pay for women, ended one war, got some health care reform, changed the economy from losing 700,000 jobs a month to gaining 200,000 jobs a month - just a name few. What have you done?
Ban I bet you're black (not trying to be racist). But since you voted for him because he is black. The majority of people that voted for him where black. ANd that is being racist. Because you just voted for him because he is black. Don't deny it, it has been proven.
I agree with Lego. I'm sick of people calling Romney supporters racist. That is why Obama won. People didn't want to be called racists for not voting for him. And 95 percent of African Americans voted for Obama. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have a black president, but Americans shouldn't vote for a president just because he is black. I garuntee you that if another African American ran against Obama, he would have won in a landslide. He also got elected because he supports continuing welfare, so all of the people stealing our money by living off of welfare obviously voted for him.
Hey Sam. Obviously Obama is gonna ruin this country! His unemployment rate is 8.0%. The Black unemployment rate is 25%. Kids that come out of college has a 1 in 7 chance of getting a job the country about to go bankrupt. And his foreign policy sucks!
His foreign policy does suck how can the commander and chief just stand by when the US consulate in Ben Gazi is being attacked by terrorists. The Americans there were crying out for help. And what did Obama do, Nothing. He sat and stayed put while we lost 4 brave Americans. That doesn't sound like a good president to me.
The last republican pres (remember that) had an unemployment rate of nearly 10% and rising. We are now 7.9% and falling. I'll take that change. By the way, he ended one foreign war and is ending a second. GW started two.....
NO! Obama got us in 16 trillion dollars in debt. Bush got us in 4 trillion while fighting 2 wars in the middel east. And those facts are wrong it is 7.9% and raising and for bush it was below 6.5%!
Hehehe! Well Barry had a super-majority his first two years... he could have done whatever he wanted... I guess Obama-care was it, not the economy or jobs.
Yeah because all that he wants to pass is shit that wouldn't help the economy or the government he took 716 billion dollars out of MediCare to put towards ObamaCare. He is ruining this country!
That's a load of bull, and how do you think think that Obama care is going to help these country,it pretty much is putting us on the fast track to socialism. I sure don't want to be paying for other people's health care. Who is he to say that we HAVE to have health care. Obama is slowly taking away our freedoms, and I can't believe that people can't see that
Obama is better because the people are stupid. An example of this is right in front of your eyes literally! Look at all the people that don't support Obama yet they put their argument on the Obama favored side of the debate!
Wow! Wow! The better man didn't win retard! Look at the economy, the foreign policy, the unemployment, the government in general. The stock market is gonna crash. He has done nothing to help this country. Why don't you go live in England so you can be employed.
We should have voted that black hippie off our office. He is giving away free handouts to lazy poor people. He's trying to convert this country into atheism. I hope those blinded to his very color will find the truth in the bible.
And quess what the next regime in Panama is. Yeah, it's leader an atheist socialist liberal. Not only are we causing harm home we are doing it abroad too.
Here he attacks the very principles our country was founded on. To begin with we weren't founded a democracy. Much of the power was given to the senate that wasn't voted. Sometimes the liberals will argue they believe in the constitution but that lie is easy to dispel.
Lol I found this by looking at Migs profile. You can't be serious. This country wasnt founded on Christianity or any religious values. Our government was set up strictly to be secular and indifferent to all religions and laws were placed in the constitution to keep religion OUT of government in any way.
Might I also add that most of the founding fathers disliked Christianity. Most were deists and some were even closet atheists.
Not convinced? Treaty of Tripoli signed by Thomas Jefferson: "The United States is in no way founded on the Christian religion"
