It's not going to improve from here on in either with him staying.

1. He will not approve Keystone for jobs
The pipeline will cause dangerous pollution, water waste, forest destruction, release of tar sands, endanger indigenous populations, and pipeline spills. A project like the Keystone pipeline is nothing to rush into, and most jobs created by the pipeline are only temporary.

And besides there's plenty of jobs to create/save, but republicans refuse to do it.

Republicans block bills that would create 1,000's of small business jobs.
How It’s Playing: “Republicans Block Small Business Lending Bill” | Senate Democrats

Republicans block small business tax cuts (when small businesses are getting taxed too high, and they need more revenue to keep their jobs safe.)
Republicans block small-business tax break on procedural vote - Los Angeles Times

Republicans refuse to stop giving tax breaks to corporations that outsource jobs.
Senate Republicans Vote Against American Jobs By Blocking Bill To End Outsourcing Tax Breaks

And republicans oppose helping large businesses like GM not go out of business (republicans could care less about every GM worker in America loosing their jobs.)

2. I guarantee that he will close GITMO
Obama signed an executive order to close GITMO in 2009 (but the republicans used sneaky tactics to keep GITMO open.)

3. He is going to flood this country with millions of illegal aliens
Obama deported more illegals in 4 years, than GW Bush deported in 8 years.

4. No travel ban for the countries of West Africa
Ebola has killed (1) person on American soil. Should be ban all travel to West Africa because a disease killed (1) person?

5. Now we find out he wants to partner with IRAN against ISIS???
Who is a safer partner Iran or the ISIS?

These Al Qaeda linked terrorists are dangerous, look at Sept 11. One day these terrorists will get their hands on a biological weapon that can kill 100,000's/1,000,000's of American people. Personally I want our leaders to explore all options to stop these terrorists from killing us.

Are you saying the Republicans are making it up about the "secret letter" to Iran?

Why is your leader trusting Iran?

Wonder how much of this has Valarie Jarrett pulling the strings??

If Obama would have continued the Bush tax cuts things would have been much better.

That bonus depreciation is why many contractors bought new equipment when Bush was in office.

I know I did.

So this was a game changer....

Then we would have had less revenue during the recession and a greater deficit. Republicans campaigned on the deficit being this scary thing. Look at it now.... Look at how much manufacturing is up? Look at the energy boom we've been undergoing...

Maybe, for you personally this was a game changer, but not most people.

We finally got to see much of East Germany after the fall of the wall.
They had forgotten how not to depend on the Russians and create businesses.

Lot of places in the US may end up like East Germany under Communist rule.
They will know no other way.
