Was it bailing out the banks?

Was it a health care system that enriches Wall St?

Was it practically doubling the debt to 20 trillion?

Was it giving Israel Billions and Billions while the middle class stagnated?

What are the best economical accomplishments of that admin to you?

When Republicans were elected to run Congress, they signed the bills the Republicans passed and therefore, became a much better administration.

Neocons really can't complain about Obama. he was one of the Bush's.... you had Bush, Bush Lite( Duhbya) and Bush Dark( Obama). Three different administrations, same policies.
Likewise the neoprogs can't complain about the Bush's much, either.

It certainly wasn't the 100s of 1000s who died in the wars of choice that he and his secretary of state Hillary Clinton started & supported.

Answer: NEITHER
This has nothing to do with partisanship. It is a thread asking a specific question about the
specific economical accomplishments of an admin whose "leader" happened to be B.O.

I don't play partisan games because I have no agenda but to survive and certainly do not need any bureaucratic Wall St. salespeople to lead me.

You are apparently sold on the black and white dynamic of partisanship but fail to see which ideology supports the things that you are talking about most and what causes it to happen.

Thanks to 40 years of Reagonomics we have a bubble economy that goes in cycles. We are waiting for the next crash.

I don't know beyond the bail outs, the shovel ready jobs, the cash for clunkers, obamacare, the red line in the syrian sand and a whole bunch of other things that were meant to be positives to help but turned out to be costly mistakes

I guess we could say that Obama tried to better the middle class and get the economy going but I think he did more to harm it and if Hillary had won she would have continued us down the crooked path.

Obama figured the middle class would carry on so he championed the lower class while attempting to expand the welfare class by importing thousands of refugees from dangerous areas of the world and opening the borders with a promise of amnesty for all. Obama and the Dems in general have big hearts but small brains. Giving all those low skilled, no skilled people welfare and jobs would have driven citizens not up the ladder but out of their jobs when they have people who are willing to work for less unless of course the $15 minimum was implemented then there would have been far more losers and more on welfare.

The middle class is shrinking and they are not moving up but down the ladder as jobs are drying up.

I think Obama did much more that harmed the middle class then he did to help it.
