Let's talk politics: What do I think of Obama?

Current American president Barrack Obama has made U.S. history for being the first black president in America, but could he also be the last? Now before you try to pull the racist card on me, which is a stupid move anyways, read the information that is presented before trying to label me. President Barrack Obama was voted into the White House in 2008 with the promise of change, helping the middle class, and thinking of ways to sort out their deficit. He was reinstated in 2012 when he won the election yet again... by making the same damned promises. So what exactly happened? Let's find out.

In 2008 when Obama was elected in, the western world proclaimed in one big voice "Racism is finally gone, we can all get along!" So, was racism finally gone? Fuck no, there are still bigoted assholes around the world, it's quite ignorant and single-minded to assume that because America has a black president that racism is gone. Obama promised in office that he would help out the middle man by giving the 1% higher taxes so that the wealth would be re-distributed fairly amongst the people. The U.S. is till waiting on that. He also promised to have a 10 year program that would help to dampen the $14 trillion US deficit. It's now 2014 and the debt ceiling has gone up to $16.7 trillion US and the deficit sits at $16 trillion US. So he's messed up there as well. In fact, he's messed up on a lot of his policies and is missing up on things the American people, and the world, hate.

In 2013 there was a tragic shooting at a school where 20-odd students were killed and several other innocents injured. My condolences are with the families who tragically lost loved ones. Obama decided to capitalise on this event and try to push anti-gun laws down the throats of the people, successfully disarming them and unconstitutionally preventing them access to military grade firearms. The second ammendment to the constitution states that "A well regulated state militia and the people have the right to take up and bear arms." This means that in the event of a president or the government having too much power the people can fight back against such a tyranny. There's a reason the founding fathers thought it ideal to have this in the constitution. His unconstitutional laws don't stop there, in recent years Obama fought hard with the support of big name companies to try and limit our internet (yes he wanted to do this worldwide) and restrict the freedom of speech to the people. The bill named SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) would target sites like youtube, where footage from all sorts of shows/movies/music/games is used in reviews. Under the fair use act the people have a right to use footage and what-not if they claim fair use, which allows the footage to be used if under scrutiny. SOPA would completely by-pass the fair use act and immediately shut you down if you so much as looked at copyrighted content. In the bill it stated that you could spend up to 50 years in jail for illegally downloading a movie. 50 years?! A paedophile spends much less time in jail than that! Because of these reasons and so many more Obama has completely ruined any and all chances for any black president in the future.

I'm interested in what you guys think, do you agree with Obama's unconstitutional acts or are you completely opposed to them like I am? As always this is open to discussion.
