Obama is
pretty bad, i can't think of another president where *all* of the following was true at the SAME TIME
- rents astronomically and UNREASONABLY high versus the low wages of most of the population, average rent is like $1000/month even for a crappy 1 bed with no AC or amenities, that is unsustainable
- home ownership at RECORD LOW levels, it's a nation of renters under Obama, also house prices unreasonably high (bubble) despite the crappy Obama economy
- despite ^this^ national affordable housing crisis, all of Obama's new regulations on banking/finance industry have made getting loans harder and more complicated, hurting poor/middle class renters even MORE (as they are unable to qualify for mortgages and thus escape the rent trap)
- homelessness and # of homeless dudes standing on street corners UP
- over 94 million Americans not in the workforce, on welfare, or both
- American child hunger UP, as the broke paycheck-to-paycheck parents struggle to pay their bills, insurance, student loans AND afford decent food at the same time
- divorces, bankruptcies, foreclosures, debt collection lawsuits, tax collection lawsuits, etc all UP
- marriages, in-tact families, communities, social cohesion, all DOWN
- slow disappearance of WELL-PAID full time salary jobs, simultaeneous rise of "part time low-wage economy", "temporary contract" gigs, and widespread deadend $10/hr McJobs
- seems like it's 1000-1500 job applicants per 1 job opening under Obama, *UP* from 200-300 job applicants per 1 job opening at the height of the crash in 2008/2009
- huge segments of the country's youth shackled by well over $1 TRILLION in student debt, these youngins have a high debt-to-income ratio and thus cannot qualify for mortgages (and thus are "stuck" renting forever)
- meanwhile, healthcare is more expensive than ever and gets worse every year, YUUUGE deductibles that render even insurance plans useless
- drug use, drug abuse, escapism (social media addiction, video game addiction, etc) all UP as people try to "cope" with all the ^above^ economic misery, stress, and depression
- rise in incidence of "lone wolf mass shooters", no doubt also (somewhat) related to all the Obama economic misery and hopelessness referenced above^
- he single-handedly set "race relations" back like 50 years, country is more racially divided now than ever thanks to Obama and his constant race-baiting and "racial" rhetoric
- cronyism, corruption, graft, "pay-for-play" schemes all UP under Obama's rule, his administration was also chock full of Wall Street/insider types
- and on and on and on, and on and on and on and on
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if the ^above^ are the final results of "change we can believe in", i want a time machine so i can go back to "the backwards olden' racist days"
It's like, Bush had his faults and Clinton had his faults, but i don't recall "everything" being bad under either of them
On the other hand, I can't think of a SINGLE good thing that came out of this Obama presidency. He makes Bush/Clinton look like heaven in comparison
