Until President-elect Trump is sworn in, President Obama IS the President. Perhaps you should take your own suggestion.
Yes, he is still President.
A bad, failed, irresponsible President, as illustrated in the OP, that took us in wrong directions and thought his will superseded the Constitution (the Court slapped him down several times on this).
1) He told everyone that he was going to fundamentally change America. His legacy is:
-A health care bill modest is scope, disastrous in execution, and fleeting in longevity, since it is about to be repealled.
-The total ceding of the world to Islmacists, Russia and China. (Wow, 4000,000 dead in Syria! good job "leading from behind" or whatever!).
-The over regulation of Dodd-Frank, which will also probably be repealled or modified.
-The strengthening of unilateral action through executive orders, which is only going to help Trump now (we warned him too!).
2) He wove the narrative of a new, inassailable Democratic coalition based on changing demographics, and his legacy is:
- His succesor could not grab the brass ring and was defeated by (another) political novice.
- The Senate remains Republican and will do so for at least another four years
-The House Remains Republican and will probably be so for at least another 6-8 years
- There will not be a liberal Supreme Court in my lifetime
- 66 of 99 State legislatures are Repubican
- 33 of 50 governorships are Republican.
3) He bragged about the ecomony, but his legacy of enemic growth and bogus employment numbers has caused:
-The rise of the populist right in Donald Trump
- The rise of the Socialist left in Bernie Sanders
Why doesn't he just shut up? We don't need to hear him cry about everyone and everything else when he has the lion's share of the blame. If he's mad about Russia, then he whould have listened when Mitt Romney told him they were a threat. If he's mad about news agencies, then he should have done something to curtail the blatant cheerleading that culminated in Donna Brazil trying to rig a debate for Hillary.
Obama blew it, and no longer has the right to ***** about ANYTHING.
Discuss.
This is America. We have the right, if not the duty, to express political views any time, anywhere. That includes Obama.
the electoral college has been in place for over 200 years. hillary and trump knew what it would take to win OUR country's system. based off of the actual system, trump won fairly convincingly.
sure it was fragile if you compare it on a scale that has nothing to do with the system put it place. trump would've campaigned in five major cities and left everyone else alone if the popular vote was the system. Instead he actually went out and campaigned in places he knew would help him win OUR country's system
too hard for y'all to understand?
the popular vote has nothing to do with a "rigged system" because it is not any part of that system
oh you mean your post that i quoted earlier? yea, i think i saw that one...
a "number" that I've said was meaningless, then you had no response except?
does somebody want to tell this guy?
