The Horrible Truth about Barack Obama's Presidency

Redress said:
Without even digging into the editorials(Hint: those represent opinions, not facts), I can still pick out one that shows just how intellectually dishonest you are being: Record 95,102,000 Americans Not in Labor Force; Number Grew 18% Since Obama Took Office in 2009. Now let me quote briefly from your source:



And what exactly is a person not in the labor force? To again quote from the source:



Dammit, how come Obama did not stop all those baby boomers from retiring?!? In addition, with the dropout rate in school being down, that means fewer people 16 - 18 working. They are going to school. Damn that Obama!!!

During the last year of Bush there was a huge housing crash that was caused by Leftist Govt policy. By the time Obama took office the worst was over. Obama had 8 years to make things better but instead he installed policies that created the slowest recovery in US history.

Even with Bush Inheriting a recession and having his last year in office in a recession he still had a higher average GDP than Obama.

Baby-boomers retiring: In a good economy when an Old Person retires it creates a job opening for a Young Person. In the terrible Obama economy companies and businesses were not replacing the Old People. A retiring person doesn't add to the regular unemployment rate and the Young Person who did not get the job is also dropped from it when they get frustrated and stop looking. This is how Obama had 5% unemployment with the worst Labor Participation Rate in 40 years.

Bottom line: no one besides Leftist Propagandist believes we ever had a good economy under Obama.

I don't know about the best, but by every objective standard he is better than Obama.

By repealing all Obama executive orders and other actions like rejecting the Paris Climate Accord he has created the best overall economy in 10 years.

Aside from a Few European Leftist pissed he kicked them off the US tax payer Gravy Train we have far better foreign relations than when Obama was Leading from Behind.

No economist would ever say that a President can take any credit for the economy after only 6 months. This is Obama's economy you are praising.... Most nations in the world do not trust or like Trump either.

The problem is that Trump is not a part of any identifiable power group.

Both groups of political hacks, the Republicans and the Democrats, oppose him.

In my mind, this fact alone is a powerful recommendation in his favor.

The vile and dishonest crooks in Washington DC, all of them, would serve our country best by all resigning their posts immediately today.

Our "leaders" are motivated by vengeance, greed, self interest, power and prestige. The interests of the American people are a secondary consideration which is sometimes bumped into as a by-product of their selfishness or re-election efforts.

Enter Trump.

He is trying to reduce the power of Washington DC, the power of the petty tyrants empowered by the self perpetuating bureaucracy and the self replicating web of regulation and economic control of the builders by the blockers.

He is opposed by the major political parties, the major media outlets, the Washington bureaucracy and those that already have their piece of the pie.

Those who are looking for work, have investments or want to improve themselves appreciate Trump's ideas and thoughts.

Those that can't understand these things brand Trump supporters as racists. If you support Trump OR if you oppose Obama, you are a racist.

Is there a uniting theme here?

Is there a complete dearth of intellectual opposition?

Who cares about popularity from foreigners. Unlike Obama the rest of the world respects Trump. The Chinese would not even let Obama leave out the front door of his own plane. With Trump they are agreeing to sanction on N.Korea.

America is the greatest most prosperous nation in all human history, because of that most of the rest of the world are deeply jealous. They liked Obama because he was apologizing and bringing America down to their level. But they never respected him.

A man is a product of his history. Trump's history is one of corruption, racism, nepotism, and failure. So far he has not disappointed on any of those traits. Your description makes him sound like "know nothing" candidate. If only that was the truth. Even a know nothing would be better than him.

Is this sheet stupidity or a total lack of even the least modicum if integrity? I suspect both, but I am curious, in that delusion which policy was that?

The bottom line is that the only thing you can post is utterly moronic driver because you hate Obama and can't stand reality.

You just said they like Trump, but I guess that in the rush to put Obama down with your idiocy you can't even keep track of the drivel you post.

But rarely contain all the context and information needed to judge those facts. The OP links are good examples of just that problem.

Well now, judging facts is a matter of opinion. But the facts are not. But, as we have seen, it's very easy to judge a person presenting facts as only "hating".

Prime Minister of Israel, calling President Trump their greatest ally.

That kind of destroys the whole Trump is a Nazi BS.

He would have never said that about the Weasel in Chief AKA Obama.

There is little doubt that we have suffered under the administrations of two of the worst presidents ever back to back.

Agreed. I regard Bush as the second worst of the last two presidents, and the 3rd worst of the last 10.

The difference is that the "Them" in the Trump rhetoric are non-citizens of the USA.

The "Us" in the Trump rhetoric are citizens of the USA. ALL citizens of the USA.

Trump is the President of the USA. The rest of the world is not his problem except as it impacts the people of the USA.

Obama seemed more interested in being president of the world.

Under Obama, the only clearly defined enemy consistently identified as condemnable in his rhetoric was the Republican Party. It seemed very often that as long as the consideration included interests not in line with the advancement of the interests of the USA, he was for it.

Russians, Iranians, Islamic terrorists, rioters, Chinese industrialists, illegal immigrants, marauding gangs of inner city thugs, drug dealers, MS 13 and about any miscreant you care to cite- All enjoyed his understanding and at least partial support.

Trump has made it pretty clear that he supports the citizens of the USA and is trying to work to enhance their prospects, provide enforcement of laws and support law enforcement authorities.

He is opposed by the media in ever increasing volume and shrieking opposition.

Nonetheless, US vs THEM. Someone else is responsible for my condition. I've got news that Trump is never going to tell you. US is responsible for our condition. WE elected officials who didn't mind the checkbook. WE shopped at Walmart and the Dollar Store because cheaper is always better. WE sent much of our manufacturing overseas because 1. WE didn't want to pay what it really cost to produce and 2. WE slowly but surely let OUR wages degrade to the point WE can't afford to buy things made here. WE didn't see the boom in robotics and automation coming and didn't plan for it. (A division of my company is specifically in the business of putting warehouse, aviation assembly and you name it workers out of a job). I hate that, but I don't want my coworkers to lose their jobs either.
The US is till the largest manufacturer in the world. We manufacture more now than at any time in our past, it just doesn't feel like it on main street. But it sure feels like it on wall street. (I know, I just blamed someone).
Look in the mirror. We have met the enemy and he is us. Trump doesn't have a plan for any of this. He has a plan for Trump.
