I hope you realize that the bush administration did the majority of the work with finding bin laden. Obama basically just gave the go ahead.
Obama may actually be the worst president ever. Anyone remember "you can keep your healthcare plan if you like it"?? Lol. That was actually voted the biggest lie of the year. I think part of the reason he actually got elected was because if people didn't vote for him, they were afraid of being labeled as racist. Obama is not a good president at all. He thought there was 57 states. Lol!!!! He's just told so many lies, too many scandals for me to name. I would probably rank him as the worst president ever, even behind carter and bush. Counting down the days till rand paul becomes our president

The housing crisis has links to the Fed, but the thing is that the housing market was so deeply rooted into the entirety of the financial sector. You had enormous companies with almost all of their value tied up in credit derivatives rather than actual assets. Clearly that's an issue, and someone should have picked up on it and stopped it.
The nature of the derivatives themselves is even more ridiculous, but that's a different story.
Bailouts are a bad idea, though. Don't condine recklessness.
I'm not an Obama fan by any means, but I don't think he's nearly terrible enough to rank as the worst President of all time. Some real nasty stuff went down before and after Lincoln's Presidency.
I don't think Rand can win a Presidential election either, but whatever.

1) If the Bush administration did most of the work why was Osama bin Laden not captured and/or assassinated when Bush was president?
2) People voted for him because they wanted to. Why would people think they'll be called a racist if they don't vote for Obama? Most people don't tell anyone else who they voted for. The thought of being referred to as a racist is completely untrue.
3) Sure, he has lied before but so has every other president.
4) Every president has had scandals during their presidency.
5) Rand Paul most likely won't even become president in 2016. There are many other strong contenders for presidency.
6) Obamacare was implemeneted so everyone could have healthcare whether they could afford it or not. Also, the cost of receiving healthcare was significantly reduced.
7) When he said there were 57 states, he said it during the time he was campaigning. Giving speech after speech can and will tire you out, so you are bound to make some sort of error when speaking. Not everyone is perfect and we all make mistakes.

They can, but I fail to see the line of logic and reasoning that gets you to policies and that they have. I'm a libertarian. My ideology can best be summed up as
Being able to sum up your ideology in one sentence like that make it easy to apply it to policy in general. The problem I have with conservatism in the conventional sense of the word is that you'd be hard pressed to have a single sentence from which you derive what policies are best.
Thing is, the definitions of liberal and conservative are muddled. I prefer the political spectrum, with four corners than essentially are (West - Modern Democrats, East - Republicans and Conservatives, South - Libertarians and Anarchist and North - Fascism/Statism).
tl;dr: I'm a libertarian, which is basically a liberal who REALLY likes free markets.

The cost was not reduced. It was displaced. The money has no government has no wealth of it's own, and can only spend by first appropriating money from others, or displacing the value of money through inflation.

We have been inching closer and closer to being a European Socialist state since the 80s and Obama has propelled us faster into Socialism. All it would take is for the people to forget what the Constitution says about freedom for the next President to completely take away all our rights as American citizens. But as long as we have our Smart phones and Play Stations we are happy campers do not bother looking at the fact that another freedom has been swiped from under you.
