Makes me wonder exactly what Obama did to waste away his days in between vacation.

Any ideas?

Trump treats the job as a CEO / Businessman and very few can keep up his pace. Obama treated it like a spoiled Politician (which not a bad thing for the US) who worked 9-5. Obama was clueless in how to get things done. They don't teach that in college.

Hopefully Trump takes some time this weekend to rest so he can do it all again next week.

For Obama it was just a job. He couldn't wait to play golf or travel around and meet the dictators who shared his ideology to make America weak.

Considering that Obama was saddled with a worthless obstructionist Tea Party / Republican Congress for 6 out of 8 years, it is grossly hypocritical to complain that he "didn't get things done." People seem to be confusing the president with a king or tyrant who simply issues orders and makes things happen. Of course, considering how many people voted for Trump with the intent of electing a tyrant, this is not surprising.

Also, keep in mind that many of the things Trump has "gotten done" aren't actually much of anything yet, and others are simply "feel good" and "hate thy neighbor" crap, like banning immigrants from certain nations, that are easily implemented but which accomplish absolutely nothing of value.

Don't confuse action with progress: Trump is great on action and creating a show, but as his track record has proven, about the only "progress" you can expect from him is the lining of his pockets and those of his cronies at the expense of the American people.

I love insane, fact-free posts like what this guy posted. The economy recovered by all measurable and objective standards under Obama, and he didn't do anything to "make America weak." Don't worry - we still bombed plenty of brown people, since to Republicans, that's a measure of how strong "'merica!" is. Oh, and we killed Osama, that guy who your bubbling stooge Bush couldn't find for 7 friggin' years.

Put down the right-wing, hate media crack pipe, read some facts, and get with it.

What I find most hypocritical is that some complain he "didn't get things done" but they didn't want the things he wanted to "get done". So, they're complaining he didn't succeed in doing the things they didn't want done in the first place!

It's just amazing to see these do nothing government workers heads spinning by the pace of someone who knows how to work and get things done.

I guess that Obama should've sat around signing the highest number of EOs in recent memory, angering his constituents, and debating crowd sizes with the media while sending his flunkies out repeatedly to lie for him, then?

I would rather have heard very little from Trump this week.

WHAT HAS HE DONE??

Legitimately, what?

I mean, signing all this stuff is fairly meaningless. He's not "in charge" of anything but the Executive Branch, just like all the other presidents before him.

Most of the stuff he's done will be undone.

It's just him trying to dazzle his supporters.

Look at me!

Look how "hard" I work!

I hope he didn't get writer's cramp or something.
