I would have liked to have had him as my lecturer at university, I probably would have gone drinking with him,like I did some of my other lecturers, I can't help but like him. But as president? I just think the west generally is suffering from a poverty of decent leadership,and that isn't just an american problem, but to me, I can't help but remember the 2008 campaign and how there were and are so many disappointed people. Now his supporters will say, 'he is only one man you shouldn't have expected so much', well I have never ,ever seen a man, built up to be a messiah like figure before, by his own political party and most of the worlds media. I remember the germans in particular worshipped the ground he walked on back then. Now not so much...
It's not just him in the administration ,the state department seems to be being run by females just out of college, it is no wonder the likes of putin are kicking off, they just don't fear america with the current administration. Obama would have been an excellent university lecturer/professor or politician at local level,and just so Iam being fair as for George W Bush, it's a pity he didn't kill himself when he was an alcoholic he did a great job of creating the mess that Obama has done a very bad job of putting right , but frankly Bush should have been no where near the presidency either.
