What I also admire about Obama is how he can reference that Heckler and making their statement valid, even thou he doesn't agree with their view/s. A man who isn't intimidated by opposition whether it be from his fellow senate or public. He deems their views as important as his own. Yes..... Obama is a beast.

John Watson Jr. sir please try again. You have not made a valid point. You’re right this pandemic wouldn’t have happened. You know why? Because Obama created an agency to handle pandemics. Especially after the Ebola scare and h1n1 outbreak. You wonder why we were hit hard with Ebola because the president you despise(d) handled it effectively. He also got us out of a recession that the previous president put is in..because he was looking for “weapons of mass destruction”. Let’s not forget. Now I don’t agree with everything Obama did but I have to give credit where credit is due. This isn’t about party affiliations this is about facts. But I’ll respectfully disagree with you sir.
