Obama did not start our wars or bad economy.

Reasons to agree:

  1. George Bush wrongly started the Iraq War. 

  2. George Bush wrongly started the war in Afghanistan.

  3. George Bush wrongly passed TARP. 

Reasons to disagree:
  1. Obama wrongly kept us in Iraq.

  2. Obama wrongly kept us in Afghanistan. 

  3. Obama wrongly started a war with Libya.

  4. Obama borrowed too much money.

  5. Obama did not cause the bad economy, but he exacerbated it.

  6. Obama wrongly extended President Bush's tax cuts.

  7. Obama did a very bad job of investing in green jobs.

Probable interest of those who agree:
  1. Anti black racism

  2. Confirmation bias (you decide that you don't like Obama, and so this becomes the prism through which you see him. People always root for the home team because, over time, they start to show interest, and then each new story tells them they were correct. When the other team acts badly, you get mad. When your team acts badly, you feel justified. You continue to identify with Obama (because you once did). 

  3. You're a Republican. He is on the other team. He is the enemy. 
Probable interest of those who disagree:
  1. Pro black racial preference

  2. You're a Democrat. He is on the same team, against the enemy
