1. He didn't end it. Unemployment rates went up annually, with a record number dropping out of the workforce entirely.
2. AHCA essentially raised premiums everywhere. Mine have nearly doubled. Thanks, Obama!
3. He pulled out. We lost. ISIS took over and is winning. Good job!
4. Bush did the same. The ST6 did the work. Obama gets ZERO credit there. Zero.
5. Those "shovel ready jobs" failed to make any remarkable impact whatsoever. Fail!
6. That's of no concern for me. He was all for their rights, but not for the rights of a bakery.
7. He also released known terrorists back to ISIS from Guantanamo Bay. Such a toolbag.
8. By forcing mergers and appointing communist-like czars, all on OUR dime.
9. How? By not allowing pipelines? By letting the EPA be his beotch?
10. And the rise of more terrorism. Nice.
11. And while doing so he didn't help our homeless vets, and watched as a record number of Americans went on food stamps. The dude's priorities are so out of whack.
12. Ill agree with you on that point. I was happy to see that.
13. Yet let the VA's crumble. Bloody brilliant.
14. Just shows how much of a wuss he really was.
15. Any Cuba is a communist dump who once sought to destroy us, and was run by a homophobic, racist, and murderous tyrant. Let em rot.
16. And he also raised our deficit to numbers never seen before. woot woot
17. That was in the pipeline long before Obozo took office.
18. And is killing the trucking industry with unrealistic expectations, too.
19. And most schools refused to use it because the food was so gross that kids weren't eating.
20. I don't care. Never before has such a minority been so vocal and annoying about what they do in their bedrooms. We bow and cater to them. Shame, that.
21. Yet he sides with BLM, who openly attack people solely based on their skin color.
22. You should be afraid of that. They want to destroy us. You. Your children. Your friends.
23. There is no pay discrimination. Its been proven to be false on many levels.
24. And she is also pro-La Raza, a racist Hispanic group/movement. She needs to croak already.
25. Yet the homeless vet rate skyrocketed, as did their suicide rate. All the while he cut military funding.
26. For what? Doing NOTHING? That award has been petitioned to be revoked since it caused such an uproar. He is the most undeserving recipient EVER. Shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!
27. Oooh, congrats. Bush actually assigned them to his cabinet. Proof that all it takes is desire and motivation to make the best of yourself. Sadly, most black youth is all about hip hop, which promotes thug life and not much else. They need to be the next Colin Powell/Condoleeza Rice/Ben Carson,etc. Not aspiring to be like Lil Wayne or Beyoncé.
28. Not a big deal. Scientists and researchers do that on their own. Him promoting it isn't anything to write home about. Not when we had skyrocketing deficit, soaring illegal immigration, rising crime, the worst rioting since 9167, releasing ISIS back into the wild, record healthcare costs, etc.
