Was Obama a Good President?

Two young black women who voted for Obama for the first time in 2008 have very different opinions of whether he was a good president for race relations and for the USA. Subscribe for more like this every day: bit.ly/1epe41j
Jon Snow from Channel 4 News brings this report for the USA as Hillary and Trump fight it out for the White House, but we look back to 2008 when the USA elected it's first black president in Barack Obama.

[@stanleymacauley6853]

the Americans we're more concerned about having a black president than a good president

[@NightShift-ci5vn]

Keenan Thomas A large majority of people voted for him because he was black. Completely unaware of politics

[@NightShift-ci5vn]

Keenan Thomas I’m aware of that. But also many whites and Hispanics voted for him too. The Democrats plan actually worked

[@troypowers750]

Ironically he was good.

[@stanleymacauley6853]

Keenan Thomas many people (white and black) voted for him because he was black such as the two girls in 0:44 and 0:57 and two white males in 1:15 and 1:18, I know this doesn't factor for the amount of Americans but it proves that white people voted for him, but it's a small comparison, if I'm wrong prove it and back it up with data, but the only thing I remember Obama doing was "Obamacare" which he pulled about 700 billion out of "medicalcare" with my source townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2014/08/09/50-things-barack-obama-has-done-wrong-n1876744 and many aother bad things he's done. He claimed did end the war in "Iraq" which I'm not even sure he did and I think started 3 more. He killed "bin laden" which to be fair any president would do that. I would support trump because trump listed many things he would do and has done many things so far which most presidents say one or two things, for example one thing I do remember out of Hillary was "stronger economy" and apparently Hillary Clinton has some part in the CNN. Going off topic, back to the question "is Obama a good president" in my opinion no, in yours, maybe. If you support him, prove he was a good president. FYI When you google Obama you get the "the first African American president" after the info of 44th president. I still believe he was a bad president, he really tried to end gun crimes but congress doesn't do anything I respect him but someone like trump takes responsibility and will sack anyone who he thinks is doing a terrible job. Obama tries to be fair but sometimes that's not good enough. Obama tries, Trump does it btw my views could be changed by news, friends, parents, media, and internet. I'm not a citizen of America so I may be ignorant on this but this is based of what I know (I'm from U.K Northern Ireland) I could be wrong, but this is what I believe. I would personally like him but from a leaders stand point he was a bit weak.

[@emadtalukdar6340]

@@stanleymacauley6853 Im not going to lie i havent researched any stats or what not, but what convinced you Trump "does" what he promised? Because youre saying this but ive watched plenty of credible news channels which have proven how much Trump lies. Its been proven how indecent of a human being trump is and how bad his personality is based off countless examples hes shown to be. Also you say that people voted for obama because he is black but you dont acknowledge the possibility that a lot of trump voters voted for him for the sake of the fact that he empowers their extremely and I emphasise EXTREMELY ignorant views. Ive been convinced of this by the listening to the countless trump supporters and hearing them spew nothing but ignorance. Take Fox news for example, things they bashed obama for during his run are things that they praise trump for (cant give u a specific example, but ive watched a lot of videos with proof of this just dont remember off the top of my head). Im not someone who think Trump is a trash president, i think the way he carries himself is extremely unprofessional and has no place in the whitehouse but i can agree to some of his policies such as the idea of people should only enter legally and that a wall would in fact prevent people from just walking in. Btw im from the UK too.

Yes he was an excellent speaker. But he accomplished nothing. He did I don't know he did clean up some George W Bush's mess because he was the worst president ever and Obama had to follow him up so you have to take that into consideration

Aaron Bradley the reason he failed to accomplish much is because the Republicans in Congress blocked everything he tried to do. He did accomplish a lot before that though.

This is the kind of understanding and the ability to see the big picture that is going to better our world from now on.

The reason why one person is viewed a certain way is not only solely dependent on that person but also every other person that shares the same characteristics with the person, I do understand why she is upset but in order to improve the image of black ppl in America, the whole black community needs to be lifted up, that way each black individual can be treated fairly. I believe there is nothing wrong if a black person gets pulled over more frequently because the black community as a whole is more likely to do something that need to be pulled over.

Michel Johnson - as a black man I can tell you: MUCH better. Trump has galvanized us to see who the real enemy is : the greed and soulessness of the Democrats.. I feel much better now than when he was President. 👍

[@Phalanx116]

@@mams1701 Firstly everybody will have their own opinion and I respect that. However just to point out that saying "as a black man" doesn't really help your argument. ( if that was your intent) Let's say that the percentage of Democrats to Republicans in the country is roughly equal. With this in mind you argued that " the real enemy is the greed and soulessness of the Democrats". I would assume that most Democrats disagree with you. So maybe the country is less "racially divided" which I find hard to believe. However, saying the country is less divided must be false because by your logic president Trump has divided the country right down the middle, between DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS. Also I don't think its correct to blame Democrats or Republicans for being the main cause considering that it's an argument that essentially can't be won. Both Democrats and Republican politicians holding office have been convicted crimes linked to greed. Also you can't statistically prove that people who align themselves with the Democratic party are actually greedy. Also how you feel and how a country actually is are two very different things.
