Remember, in crazy-right land, the economy crashed in January 2009 the moment Obama took office, not October 2008 (when it actually crashed), and Obama somehow deserves no credit at all for the record stock market rise since in the past 6+ years, nor the recovery in general. In their nutty world, Trump somehow deserves all the credit, which is utterly insane, since he's done nothing of value in his first year in office, and certainly never time-traveled back to 2009 to get the ball rolling on the recovery.
We're dealing with people who don't care about facts on the far-right, which is just sad.
“Here’s what I keep saying: We know there’s something wrong, but what I’m tired of is people ― daily, nightly, on all the cable news shows ― telling us there’s something wrong. I just think we ought to direct our resources and our energies to doing something about it. And other people have made this point: If the guy was running Dairy Queen, he’d be gone. This guy couldn’t work at The Gap.
So why do we have to be victimized by his fecklessness, his ignorance? But it’s just the behavior is insulting to Americans, whether you voted for him or not ― and I feel bad for people who did vote for him because he promised them things that they really needed and one wonders if he’s really going to come through. I know there’s trouble in this country and we need a guy who can fix that trouble. I wish it was Trump, but it’s not, so let’s just stop whining about what a goon he is and figure out a way to take him aside and put him in a home...“
It is interesting to see the mature responses to this thread.
How many of you that hated Obama -- still hate Obama -- and yet folks who don't like Trump (and some of us it wasn't because he ran as a Republican -- it has more to do with 30 years of quotes, behaviour from the man) are childish.
Hmmm that's an interesting hypocritical approach to life.
It's typical right-wing nonsense. They hated Obama because he was black - that's a simple fact - which is doubly hilarious since a huge chunk of his policies (ACA excluded) were basically just continuations from Bush Jr. I guess the far-right hates him, too, right? Nope - he's also a saint (because he's Republican), but Obama is somehow the devil incarnate, even when he continues Bush's policies. Loons.
So, to get back at the black man in the white house, they elect an immature lunatic man-child like Trump and expect us to all ignore decades of horrible behavior on that twit's part. Come on! A few years ago - before he became the Republican nominee for president - the vast majority of these Cult 45 members fawning over Trump wouldn't have trusted him with their retirement account, their house for a weekend, or their wife or daughter for one night. Trump was a slimy pig, and everyone knew it. But now, we're all supposed to ignore that AND the undeserved and bigoted hatred spewed by the far-right against Obama? Absurd!
BTW, why do you folks seem to think that Trump has a God given right to be treated better than you folks treated Obama? Every year, you MIRACULOUSLY found a way to hate Obama a little bit more. It was amazing because I didn’t think it was possible.
Exactly. The OP's post was entirely fact-free drivel, and I love how the far-right still can't justify hating Obama for 8 years (basically because he's black) and yet they expect everyone to love Trump, who has never been anything more than a scumbag.
The brutal reality is that there is nothing Obama did that earned him the hatred of the far-right, and there is nothing Trump has ever done to earn him admiration from much of anyone aside from his close cronies. He is a disgusting little man-child and a disgrace to this nation. It is appalling that partisan lunacy is so great in this country that people would willingly vote for a complete fraud just to "get back at the black man in the white house." Shameful.
There's one very self-righteous poster here who, back in the summer of 2016, claimed she could never support a man as repulsive as Trump, but once he won the nomination she said she "had no choice now but to vote for him," because he was the Republican candidate on the ballot. No choice. She had to vote for whoever her team put on the ballot, regardless of how despicable and unqualified she found that choice to be.
Because party before country.
And this is the party that likes to wrap themselves in the flag and pretend they are patriots.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
100% wrong.
Right-wingers opposed Obama because of his policies. If Obama was a conservative, right-wingers certainly would have supported him, just like they support black conservatives like Alan Keyes and Herman Cain.
Once again: right-wingers did not oppose Obama because he is black!

I disagree. They had to resort to mischaracterizing his policies in order to find something to oppose.

These are extremely ugly and unfounded words.
I don't think Ametican politics are your biggest problem.
Everytime "that's racist!", "you're a racist", is shouted whenever you* comes across someone who has different ideas and opinions as you, you are doing a major disservice to yourself, others, and you are absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, spitting on the graves of those who DID suffer atrocities due to REAL racism. Your faux cries have ZERO power. YOU (those who do this sort of thing) are the ones who are truly becoming desperate as you realize this basic truth of the reality you've created. You can only cry wolf so many times.
* - general you
Also, what about the many people who voted for Obama simply because he is black? A stupid reason to vote for someone, even if it was "historic."
