Noticed a lot of people citing Obama's indecisiveness as an undesired trait in a leader. I would argue the opposite. It was Bush's (and Congress's) decisiveness that lead to the AUMF and the War in Afghanistan (War in Iraq is too obvious; how many people actually understand reasons for the War in Afghanistan?) Side: W Bush

Obama's foreign policy has caused our enemies to ignore us. (Russia, Iran, North Korea). Additionally he has caused or allies to fear. The Ukraine, Israel, Saudi Arabia. By contrast GWB did not. _ Obama's domestic policies have racked up over 18trillion in debt. Expanded the suffering of small business owners with the ACA, and an ever growing book of regulations. Today Americans are facing a 10%-30% rise in healthcare costs, directly caused by the ACA. By contrast GWB did not. GWB made many mistakes, as all presidents have done. IMO they do not rank as high or carry the impact of Obama's sometimes deliberate actions have done. Side: Obama

Obama's domestic policies have racked up over 18trillion in debt. So you are claiming that Obama's policies alone have racked up the entire United States debt? Come on DaveR, that is incredibly dishonest. Today Americans are facing a 10%-30% rise in healthcare costs, directly caused by the ACA. Citation needed. Side: W Bush
So you are claiming that Obama's policies alone have racked up the entire United States debt? No, but you just said that. - Citation needed. REALLY http://obamacarefacts.com/ Side: Obama

His actions, policies, words, and and how he handles himself. He's divided the nation. We're in more conflict than ever. The scandals from the administration are out of control and they never see any resolution. It just goes on and on and on. I remember showing up to vote for a President...not a King. Side: Obama
Obama's ''wishy washy', indecisive form of government has greatly diminished America's international status. He has done well to keep the U.S, out of expensive and bloody foreign wars, but he has failed to even state his opinion on some of the most blatant cases of open aggression. Most despots and terrorist groups around the world have become emboldened in the knowledge that they have nothing to fear from an Obama led America. The great nation of the United States of America deserves a great president, but President Obama falls dramaticallt short of meeting that criteria. Side: Obama

If we're judging by their dancing skills I'd have to vote Bush... Other than that it's a no-brainer that Obama has been the worst President ever. Side: Obama
