Anyone notice how the Left rarely ever mentions Obama anymore?

Compared to the BO era, the W years look like the good ol' days. At least we didn't have riots, terror attacks every few months, more people in the work force, and a larger middle class. Not to mention a flooded border...
 
He’s done everything I thought a radical leftist would do; destroy the economy
Flat-out wrong


drive people out of work
1.5 million plus jobs created, unemployment down from a peak of 10% to 5%


re-distribute wealth
That didn't happen either, all he did was raise top marginal tax rates by a few points


create chaos
You obviously have no idea whatsoever what "chaos" means


hate America and talk it down abroad
That didn't happen either


The left hates America
1967 called, and wants its ideological divisions back.

In case you missed it, these days it is the right wing that hates America, hates it when people exercise their freedoms in ways conservatives disapprove of, and whose extreme elements want to take arms against the government.


More people on the public dole than ever before
You mean, like... people collecting Social Security? Or perhaps you mean working citizens who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit?

You can't mean TANF, as participation cratered in the 90s.

You could mean AFDC ("food stamps"). However, that is a small in-kind benefit. It is not creating irreversible dependency.


nearly 95M out of the work force
Mostly retirees, people getting secondary education, and people taking care of family members (including raising children).

Oh, and people who left the workforce are slowly rejoining.


I wouldn’t give you two turds for their ideology.
Right back atcha

Conservatism was once an intellectual movement that respected facts and stuck to its principles. Some still are that way. But many of its practitioners have collapsed into dogma that cannot tolerate basic facts, and ditch their principles at the earliest possible moment if they believe it will result in a short-term political position.


It’s lacking, limited, and detrimental to just about everything.
Pot, kettle...


It’s a cancer that sets out to destroy self-reliance, the family, independence, it’s truly evil.
lol

John Birch Society meetings are thataway ----->
 
Though Bush made mistakes and was out maneuvered by Putin badly, no doubt. There is absolutely no reason to "airbrush" 2001 to 2008 out. He left office with everything set for a good conclusion of the more pressing international problems and had handled the aftermath of Clinton's bubbles relatively competently. All told he wasn't maybe God's answer to man's prayers. But he was certainly not as bad as many think.

Quite a rosy picture you make of 2008, those of us not brainwashed see a much different picture of that year than you do. If Bush left things oh so glorious how did McCain and the GOP Congress get there asses handed to them Nov 2008.

As a party hack, are you paid by the word or the post?
 
True. I'm VERY ashamed that America has so many left wingers who have no clue what they're doing to destroy a once great nation.

If they were wise, they would look at Venezuela as a very prominent modern example.....but alas...they want to avoid that as much as their fallen Messiah.

Try some meds for that hate, its politics ok
 
Oh the irony. Obama continues to be heavily discussed that you'd think he's running for his 3rd term.
 
Shame or pride has nothing to do with it. For one, so much of any president's legacy is at the mercy of the legislative branch, and that is a complete disgrace. The reason the left doesn't mention Obama is it became clear after about a year, when he immediately dismissed single payer health care, that he isn't even liberal! He isn't one of us. He isn't working with us or on our behalf. In 2012 i didn't support him at all and by now? Pfft, he's a lame duck too, can't even replace the supreme court's biggest conservative windbag despite he's been dead for months. Obama may as well be george bush, with the difference on rare occasion he says something intelligent and i'll catch wind of it 3rd hand

Oh stop the BS

Links proving your claim, I will get started, otherwise its your opinion based upon a failed ideology.
 
Bet ya the OP disappears Nov 9.

And how much are you willing to lose?

If you searched my posts, you'd find that in the past I've actually stated that it might be a good thing if Hillery gets elected.......BECAUSE.....

We may need to hit absolute rock bottom before leftys understand the tragedy in their thinking......think Venezuela.

Sorry, there is no hated in that post. Maybe your fantasy?

Truth can sting, but it can be healing and beneficial as well. Try it at least once.

LOL, of course the housing and debt bubble were all Clinton's fault.... :roll:

And competent handling of the economy apparently means handing off an economy in freefall and shedding 600,000 jobs per month.

This is sad....so sad...on so many levels.....that someone has been so thoroughly brainwashed that they might actually believe .000001% of what they took all that time to post.
It's not even worth the time to offer the rebuttal that easily debunks it all. What difference would it make?

Helen Keller Foundation <<<<< That way
 
It's embarrassment they will never confess. Now they only talk about defeating Trump....NOT the benefits or qualifications of Hillary (which are essentially non existent).

Even his hard core supporters know he is owner of the most failed American presidency perhaps in US history in terms of actual damage done to the nation. If not traitorous.

Several years ago a Messiah.......he was going to save the world.....a Nobel Peace Prize.....now an embarrassing mistake.

But did they learn their lesson? A resounding NO ! They cry for more destruction and want Obama's evil re-incarnate for 8 years next (Hitlery) They long for an American Venezuela!

I saw this somewhere and thought it was hilarious in a truthful way.....

Progressives and the Left in general are freedom Terminators.

Listen, and understand that the Progressive Left is out there!
They can't be bargained with.
They can't be reasoned with.
They doesn't feel pity, or remorse over their destructive ideology, or fear government tyranny!
And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until your freedom is dead and poverty is everywhere!

:2wave:

Probably because he's a Centrist Authoritarian and a sell-out. We could have done without the chastisement and partisan hackery, by the way.

Yep...not even a "smidgen" of corruption.....
 
Progressive? Liberal? I call them all leftists, because that is what they are. I don’t play their game of trying to keep up with whatever they call themselves these days.

As far as BO is concerned, you can’t take the radical out of the leftist. He’s not a disappointment to me because I never believed he would be worth a crap anyway. He’s done everything I thought a radical leftist would do; destroy the economy, drive people out of work, re-distribute wealth, create chaos, hate America and talk it down abroad, call Americans names, etc.

He’s the quintessential leftist. Fundamentally change our country into something it never was meant to be. The left hates America, and wants it punished severely. And by the looks of it, they did a good job. More people on the public dole than ever before, nearly 95M out of the work force, and the left calls that good. It’s unbelievable.

I wouldn’t give you two turds for their ideology. It’s lacking, limited, and detrimental to just about everything. It’s a cancer that sets out to destroy self-reliance, the family, independence, it’s truly evil. But that’s what happens when you allow yourself to be bombarded on a daily basis with lack, limitation, anger, anxiousness, and the feeling of constantly being offended. Misery loves company, as they say.

Thank goodness - what would a partisan rant about "leftists" be without bringing up that debunked talking point!

:shock:

Do you mean WISE?

Sorry, you lost me. Corruption by whom? And how is that responsive to my point?

Bottom line is we can blame a whole bunch of people in power, such as GOPers and Dems in Congress, the financial wizards running our largest banks into the ground, Clinton and certainly Bush who presided over the country for the 7 years preceding the Great Crash for the housing and debt bubble.

Uh, about 4 million illegals were added to the rolls during the Bush era. Approximately 0 during the Obama era.

Seriously? Think western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, even Israel what with their socialized medicine and all. Those are a far more accurate pictures of the the bottom of your bogus slippery slope.

Try not to be too sensitive. It's politics. I agree it may be difficult to ascertain how I really feel about Obama....but...it's my opinion.

By the way if you've been paying attention.....the last year has been nothing but "chastisement and partisan hackery" not only from the MSM but from the candidates themselves dating back to the beginning of the primaries by the way, it's the way American politics rolls unfortunately so please....don't lecture me on political etiquette until you get the MSM and your candidate to do so first.

Really? Not sure what you are saying but where is Socialized medicine "working" ? Seriously. Not asking where it "appears" to be working or where it exists....but where it is financially working and fundamentally working to serve the health needs of those in the system.

You are probably thinking of a capitalist supported attempt at socialized medicine. Real socialism has never worked and never will. Sorry to be blunt.

BTW...whatever happened to the Bernie movement ;)

You have no idea who my candidate is, do you?
 
Nor do they prattle on about how smart is is supposed to be....

Military experts say that by 2020, Pyongyang will most likely have the skills to make a reliable intercontinental ballistic missile topped by a nuclear warhead. They also expect that by then North Korea may have accumulated enough nuclear material to build up to 100 warheads.

Siegfried S. Hecker, a Stanford professor who has traveled to North Korea and who formerly directed the Los Alamos weapons lab in New Mexico, the birthplace of the atomic bomb, said North Korea’s progress in missile and nuclear development signals that it has gone from seeing unconventional weapons as bargaining chips to “deciding they need a nuclear weapons fighting force.”

The DC ELITE under Obama could not even manage to be a speed bump.

So you know what that means....

Now Trump is here.
