-racially charged climate, him being among the most racially divisive presidents ever
-the "Affordable" Care Act
-record high income and wealth inequality
-distrust in government
-the most divided political environment since the civil war
-$8 Trillion in additional debt to the overall national debt, almost more than all presidents combined

A record would indicate that the feat has never been reached before, that is untrue, there for you either dont know the defintion of the word or are purposefully lying.
Further more, the participation rate has been dropping for 15 years.

explain how that is his fault , then we can discuss it.

He isnt the divisive person, its those out there who want to claim any discussion on race is just black people playing the race card.

Thats opinion

by the logic of those who dont understand free markets, but trumpet them, the first half is good thing and should have stopped the second from happening.
Quote:
-distrust in government
Republicans always distrust government left when one of your own is in charge, so thats an easy question to ask. When ever someone with an R gets in the Oval.

it was your party who chose never to work with the President, not the other way around.

How much of that debt is actually attributed to him, calculate that and then lets talk.

2 consecutive terms with a Republican President and republican controlled House & Senate the whole time.

THe same amount it took to clean up Bush senior and Bush junior?!?!
As someone that sits in the middle on most issues, I don't understand you right, and left extremists.

Obamacare is working. As a whole, that is very debatable.
Conservatives refuse to raise taxes on the wealthy, raise the minimum wage, and close corporate loopholes.
Why didn't Obama fix these issues when the Democrats controlled congress?
You're right, we were less divided during the Bush era; we all agreed he was garbage.
Most of that debt can be attributed to failed conservative policies (unnecessary tax cuts, trillion dollar wars, etc) Again, why didn't Obama fix these issues when the Democrats controlled congress?
History is a guide. Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 with unemployment, high interest rates (18 pct 30 year mortgages), inflation, and general "malaise" as Pres. Carter put it.
By 1984 the economy had rebounded, and Reagan was re-elected in a landslide, winning 49 states. Walter Mondale won his home state of Minnesota, plus Washington DC, which naturally will never vote for limited federal government.
I don't know, how long will it take to clean up bush's mess? or clinton's? Or bush sr's? Or Reagans? Or Carters? Come on, same old tired question.
