Again its not Obama's it called business confidence in Trump. For example just got off the phone with a web designer to create a new site offering a new product line for my son's business. If Obama was still in office no way in hell we would be investing in time and money to promote a new product line.
I don't believe the second part of that for a moment. Regardless of how one feels about Obama, the concept that "businesses have confidence in Trump" is laughable.
Trump is a untrustworthy slob who's highest claim to fame before being somehow elected president was destroying businesses and escaping blame-free with the loot while stiffing everyone else through various legal games. No business who wanted to stay profitable would be stupid enough to trust anything he says at this point.
Worse, since being elected president, he has displayed staggering immaturity, incompetence, stupidity, and an inability to maintain any direction or momentum on any topic more complex than hate-twittering the people he dislikes. Oh, and demanding oaths of blind loyalty from his cronies as you'd expect from some 2nd rate tyrant who's still wearing his military uniform from the "revolution."
There's nothing in his long list of failures as president - or as a businessman, or even as a basic human being - that would "inspire confidence" in any actual business. The only reason the bottom hasn't fallen out of the economy yet is because of inertia gained from Obama's time in office and because Trump and cronies are so floundering and stupid they are having a hard time even breaking what they set out to destroy.
A President who controls both the House and the Senate but can't get anything through both is an obvious F. He is a failure in every sense of the word.
Don't forget he even has a conservative court now too. Trump is a colossal failure. 38% approval at the beginning of his term is pathetic. I give him an F-.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled, closing at 21,414.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting groundbreaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns.
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
Why do you want the EPA and FDA deregulated? You don't think food manufacturers should be highly regulated? Or big pharma? You think we need to loosen up our regulation on big pharma? Why?
People who want these things deregulated are usually low information voter types who can't make the connection between protections that keep them safe and the stuff they're being spoon fed by their right wing puppet masters.

Exactly. It boggles my mind how these flag-waving Trumplings try to act patriotic while being eager to destroy our nation's government and hand the country over to completely unaccountable business interests. In every case I've dealt with right-wingers, there are solid examples in their life of how big business has hosed them, and yet they keep coming back for more abuse. It's madness. Sure, government and regulation are not perfect or the answer to everything, but the opposite - removing as much government and regulation as possible - is even less successful.
I just love his "secret" plan for ISIS (Obama's plan).
Obama's "plan" was to arm and support ISIS via Syria. Trump has put a stop to one more bit of Obama's stupidity. It will take a while to undo ALL the damage Obama has done.
This is why the corrupt left and the very corrupt liberal media have to keep alive the fake news story Russia. If the American people really knew what trump has accomplished in last 6 months. His approval numbers would skyrocket!!!
