Obama supplied only words and theory, salted with so many blunders and lies and now acts as if the accomplishment of results is somehow undesirable.


Guess it is in obamaworld, where , as in miss America contest, everyone dressed in an evening gown is for world peace and an ending to hunger and poverty.


No diff between Obama and a Miss America contestant, just words they think people want to hear.


Obama would never last in the corporate world where results were demanded.


Does he realize how much for the better the country is after he left office?????? he is living in the past as he continues projecting his demonstrated flaws onto Trump and Trump's followers.

The reason we haven't needed defense is precisely because we have the strongest military in the world. Everyone knows that and no one messes with us. Same thing applies to a tough looking guy and a meek looking guy. Guess which one the bad guy will mess with?

Similarly, a house that is known to have people that are tough and loaded with guns with pitbulls out front versus a friendly family that have no guns and a chihuahua in the house. Guess which house the crooks will always target and which house they know to steer clear of?

This is why we need more businesspeople in government, and less lawyers and political science majors.

AMEN, a big Hallelujah and a YUGE 10-4!


Lawyers manipulate the law... That includes the CONSTITUTION.

So let's not be proactive, and wait for our enemies to attack us on our shores like on 9/11. Part of national defense is fighting your enemy elsewhere. Did we fight WWII on the continental U.S.? Add History courses to your list.
Chaos is a ladder.

In all seriousness, no one party should be allowed to control congress. Party politics don't help anyone.

Also, our enemies have been invented over the years. Vietnam? Iraq? All political and economic gains.

You want to go after those responsible for 9/11, you go after backwards Saudi Arabia. But they control oil, so nope.

The US bullies other countries. Except we're seen as the "good guys" unlike say Nazi Germany.

People who don't give Obama credit for what he accomplished are simply being willfully ignorant. They are probably people who won't read all the white paper from; Forbes, Wall Street, or dozens of other opinions from respected business papers and magazines.The general consensus is Obama pulled the car off the cliff and all Trump has to do is push it down to road. Who's job would you want to do? Ironically the only recent presidents that did better than Obama in some areas of the economy were Democrats.

Furthermore, while shortfalls do exist on the Obama end-of-term report card, his performance holds up more than adequately against other US leaders of recent history. As such, perhaps history will view the Obama legacy as being one of precisely the steadiness that the country needed following the Great Recession, and as a necessary precursor to the better days that Trump can hopefully deliver to the American people.

I tell them like this.
You are PO'ed and looking to take your frustrations out on someone... anyone.
You going to snap at the 6'5" ripped MMA World Champ, or the 5'5" Soy Boy?

Or better yet, let's make them equal in physical stature but have one carry a gun while the other have no gun. Guess which one a street thug will look to mug?

Tax cuts, attempts to make our foreign trade more fair to the U.S., reduction in regulations, and PRO BUSINESS RHETORIC which gives businesses the idea that the U.S. will become more business friendly. It gives them confidence, and allows them to make arguments to build stuff here instead of overseas.
