How did Obama get nothing done in 8 years?

[pcgeek11]

An answer in a nutshell is Mitch McConnell and the obstructive Tea Party Congress -- a 150-year holdover from the Cornpones of Beulah-Land. Thaddeus Stevens should have prevailed in Congress and burned the South to the ground while imposing Reconstruction for 50 years.

Obama was so Great, the Disgusting Pig Trump would have to stand on a fire-truck ladder just to kiss . . . his . . . ass.

And you? You're less than nothing to the rest of us.

we spit . . . . on you . . . and your President A**Hole.

Another brain bleeding post. LOL

Those are cowardly weasel-words. He did the opposite of Comey, who compromised the election by announcing Nothing to Confirm or Prove Nothing because Nothing was ever there -- except for the mass-psychology of the T Party congress and their short-sighted marathon witch-hunt. That episode should likely be confirmed in history a hundred years from now as the most manufactured news event ever constructed by a Master Propagandist who never set foot in the Capitol, but likely spends the work-week in the Kremlin.

If you want to look at this value-free, as would Machiavelli, Obama had to weigh (a) the chances of a Dem victory, (b) the smears and charges that he tried to manipulate the election in her favor, (c) National Security and (d) his confidence that the system would ultimately work -- provided that the Opposition shows any sign of having Better Angels in their Nature.

What would you have him do? Compromise faith in a statistical projection that was undermined by Tea Party Faithless with False Responses? Take the heat for Trump's own possible treasonous act? Buddy, you better bet the number of different people involved in the intelligence reporting collaboration was legion. Here, you cannot hide the Truth.

It then becomes a question as to whether you would just let the system and its process take its course.

Are you aware that the Sitting President is a Law Professor?

The man -- no, I say Man -- is clean as the driven snow. His detractors are mostly slugs in the sludge, spewing their own feces.

If only Clinton did not set up that server. I bet she is kicking herself everyday thinking that server in the basement to handle her day to day work emails was a good idea.

This is likely true whichever part of the political spectrum you sit on. If that server wasn't around, Trump wouldn't have had one of his main arguments.

. Fact is, did Obozo rally the stock market?

It's idiots like you that enable morons like Trump to gain power. You never have facts right. The stock market did phenomenally under Obama. Second longest bull run in history:

"If you're an investor, there are a lot of people to thank for the second-longest bull market run in history. Perhaps after mentioning people like Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and S&P 500 CEOs for the support, it would be wise to bring up someone a little more unexpected: President Obama.

In fact, as far as presidents go, he's been one of the most successful in modern history in supporting the growth of the market according to Bespoke Investment Group.

"The reality, though, is that the stock market has done exceptionally well under President Obama," wrote Bespoke in a note out Thursday.

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average's performance [under Obama] of 120.6% ranks as the sixth best of any US President since 1900, just behind Reagan and comfortably ahead of Truman, who at 74.4% is far behind...
...
While President Obama is just outside the top 5 for now, according to Bespoke, if the market improves over the last half year or so of his term, he could jump some of his peers.

"Looking at the way things stand, by the end of his entire tenure in office, President Obama could conceivably surpass Reagan and Eisenhower in terms of returns and finish in the top four for his entire time in office," said the note. "

Buy American, build American! Screw that Hopey Changey crap!

Yes Build American, like Trump uses Chinese Steel. Buy American - well that means don't by almost anything made by the Trumps. Hire American - Trump consistently hires foreign workers (as well as Americans)

I think you got scammed bro. And because of scammed fools like you, the rest of us are going to suffer. Unless one is in the top 1%

True.

What I do not understand was why she thought it was a smart idea. Especially if she was thinking of running for president in 2016. That and her goldman speeches, she did not need the money that bad she could have paused on those speeches and maybe given free speeches at universities to get to visibility and good graces with the millennials etc.

-Raised taxes
-Lost jobs to other countries overseas
-More americans on food stamps than ever
-Unemployment rate up
-Debt up

Wow, does this or any of your other ALTS ever get embarrassed by how stupid their handler is???

Home ownership down? The official home ownership rate was 63.5% in the third quarter of 2016. This may not be statistically different from the rate in the third quarter 2015 at 63.7%, but it is shown to be 0.6 percentage points higher than the rate in the second quarter 2016.

For a reference, the formal high was a reading of 69.2% measured in two quarters back in 2004.

Median income? More Americans are making more money. The U.S. Census Bureau released new numbers showing that, after a brutal economic recession and years of stagnation, real median household incomes rose from $53,718 in 2014 to $56,516 last year. That's a 5.2 percent rise — the first statistically significant increase since 2007.

Food Stamps?. Food Stamp use is down in the US. The drop in the program's enrollment was big nationally, at about 5 percent from June 2015 and June 2016.

But, but, but Illegals?????

Illegal immigration is lower than it’s been in 40 years.

Unemployment up???

Beginning just a year after President Obama inherited the worst economic crisis in generations, businesses have been adding jobs at an extended, record-setting clip: a total of 15 million jobs over the last 80 consecutive months of private-sector job growth.

Get back under your mom's skirt where the safe space is the warmest and wait for your next order...

It has nothing to do with the truth and he knows it. ITs about shaping what the low edu low iq people think is true.

They don't have to "think" it's true, just that the act of repeating it gets them what they want. Sort of like when a pet learns banging its dish against something will bring food.

In this case, if they parrot this crap the alt-right recruiters tell them they get complimented by alt-right recruiters, with some vague notion of financial quid pro quo some time down the line.

I'm guessing they get some kind of "like" or up vote.

You realize that your post contains numerous basic factual errors, right?

Maybe Obama's legacy would be more impressive to you if you based it on reality.

The reality is Obama's legacy is Trump.

 

[Lash444]

The reality is Obama's legacy is Trump.

Obamas only tie into this is that he was Fox New's latest boogeyman.

I guess if you want to give him partial credit, we can put him in as a footnote. In the history books we can write the following.

"Due to Fox News nationwide appeal to fact-deniers, the uneducated, and conspiracy theorists, even after a period of consistent economic growth the U.S. elected a demagogue by focusing its hate-filled propaganda towards the then President (Obama).
Since many of these targetted individuals were lacking in education and had very few skills, they were hit particularly hard by the well paying manufacturing jobs that were lost to outsourcing and automation. Right wing media then sowed the seed of discord by attributing their struggles with the commander in chief, even as their median wages improved and the country pulled away from a republican caused recession."

I have a feeling Trump will make you lose your job, put you on food stamps and you will still TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP just like many idiots in our country.

That's not sad, its life and its not my job to reason with you.

Go ahead live in your fantasy world. I'm not the one in denial or in trouble here. You are.

Trump became politically famous because of birtherism and unlimited Fox News airtime. Tells me everything I need to know about Trump supporters.
