Obama's style of argumentation is unlike any president I have ever met, and I've met a lot of them. And the condescension that oozes from him when he's talking about his opponents, it's really striking.
Paul Gigot
Image
Obama hasn't been working to earn reelection, he's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour!
Mitch McConnell
Image
Obama is very much an establishment sort of guy. The whole image of him as a transcendent figure was based on style rather than substance. If you actually looked at what he said, not how he said it, he said very establishment things. He's a moderate, cautious, ameliorative guy. He tends to gravitate toward Beltway conventional wisdom.
Paul Krugman
Image
Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the President is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?
Curtis Jackson
Image
Obama said, basically, I wouldn't let any son of mine play football, though I do watch. And that struck me as remarkable! It's like he's saying, yeah, let some other set of parents or guardians put their boys up for that kind of punishment (and for my amusement). But not mine! It's just abject hypocrisy from a guy who should know better.
Steve Almond

Obama is a very good actor. He knows how to play it. And he is very adept at creating this ''Obama'' - this character who is there whenever the world needs something.
Jon Voight
Image
Obama was willing to compromise and Republicans were not. That's not a biased statement. One of my problems with the limitations of journalism is that straightforward descriptions of reality are seen as being biased.
Jonathan Alter
Image
Obama's failure to close Guantanamo is yet another instance where the rhetoric of democratic and constitutional rights proved not useful for his international relations, relations which are always pursued in ways that continue to link and fortify securitarian power with the opening of new markets.
Judith Butler
Image
Obama has been the single worst president in modern American history in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Reza Aslan
Image
Obama said he went to Libya because of his conscience. Did anyone ever wrestle with his conscience and lose?
Mort Sahl
Image
Obama hasn't been divisive just because his policies are so unpopular, though that's a large part of it.
David Limbaugh
Image
Obama and his associates are fantastic campaigners but have little ability or skill to govern.
Edward Klein
Image
Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism - a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge and his performance in office, between his commitment to the nation and his current abandonment of all hope.
David Limbaugh
Image
Obama is ratcheting up his class warfare to levels that would make Marxists blush.
David Limbaugh
Image
Obama is a president, who I think is anti-jobs.
Rick Perry
Image
Obama's primary constituency was financial institutions. They were the core of the funding for his campaign. They expect to be paid back. And they were. They were paid back by coming out richer and more powerful than they were before the crisis that they created.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Obama is a tyrant the same way FDR was a tyrant. He has a view of presidential power that states: the government is in control of the country, and the president is in charge of the government. He's taken an imperial view of the presidency.
David Mamet
Image
Obama's record on climate issues is not all bad.
Jeff Goodell
Image
Obama has committed the U.S. to war on the Islamic State. To then allow within a month an allied enclave to be overrun - and perhaps annihilated - would be a major blow.
Charles Krauthammer
Image
Obama sees everything backward. Where Americans see individual achievement, he sees government's work. Where we see failing companies, he sees innovation worth subsidizing. Where we see the need for economic growth, he sees a need for higher taxes.
Reince Priebus
Image
Obama's latest line is that he didn't establish a red line but the world did through its conventions on chemical warfare.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Obama's Democrats have become the part of no. Real cuts to federal budget? No. Entitlement reform? No. Tax reform? No. Breaking the corrupt and fiscally unsustainable symbiosis between public-sector unions and state governments? Hell no.
Charles Krauthammer
Image
Obama's folksy come-on is as bad as Madonna's faux British - and both are in need of fresh inspiration.
Camille Paglia
Image
Obama, like Carter, is reacting to warning signs by seeking to split the difference between dispirited Democrats and increasingly radicalized Republicans.
