    Thank you Obama, won't forget ya...

    56K jobs added

    Unemployment rate for college grads is 2.5%

    Hourly pay jumped 2.9% from a year earlier

    From an economic standpoint, we are almost at full employment.

    That added up to 288,333 jobs per month or 2.5 million a year or 28 million jobs over his entire term,

    Only took him $9T in additional deficit (i.e. stealing from future generations)

    $6T in quantative easing from a federal reserve

    0% interest rates for the entire Presidency

    And we got that 1% GDP growth.

    Oh, and don't forget the "bring respect to the office" thing

    The unemployment rate is only low because people have quit looking for work. The labor participation rate is terrible.

    Government jobs have done well.

    I think it was Krugman who said in order to stimulate the economy, we should bomb one of our cities so we can re-build it.

    Seriously

    I don't think you understand much if this is how you are thinking about it.

    Context matters.

    Judging by what came before Obama and what follows

    Probably not but --- based solely on his handling of 2008 financial melt down and binLaden. Not to mention ...

    But sure -- you've advocated shooting HRC and imprisoning her based on ... really not sure what.

    There is the news from today --- speaking of illegitimate Presidents

    I'm surprised you supported Obama's bailing out big evil businesses the way he did... but he was the wall street President, after all. A lot of people made a lot of money thanks to the big O

    I am curious if you are even able to grasp the points of my first post. Are they wrong? Or do you not think it made a difference?

    Obama is just as much a war criminal who should hang from a noose as all the other living presidents. He is a black slave owner. We have more black slaves now than at any point before the civil war. Waging war against the American people is literally the definition of treason in the constitution.

    Obama may not be a great president but at least he's better than Goddell. ;)

    I think Obama did less damage than GWB, Clintons, Reagan and Nixon. Nixon started the American Holocaust. Reagan ramped it up. When he took office 6% of people though drug abuse was the #1 problem in America, by 1986 that stat was over 80%. That happened because of Reagan fear mongering and the media trumped up hysteria. That's why we got all those draconian drug laws of the 90's.



    Throughout all of history government has always abused it's power. Always. A lot of people like to think of the government as the good guys but it will always end up being run by the bad guys. Even the leaders that mean well are guilty of some of the worst atrocities. There is only one solution to this problem and it is limiting governments power. They won't give it up willingly.
