I didn't like Obama's foreign policy, but he was a better president overall, IMO.

Well Bond.............may I suggest you do some reading and a whole new world will open up as to what President Trump has accomplished.


Then read why the ex-employees of the DOJ and the FBI did to get fired. And then read all about the FAKE DOSIA the America hating left had authored by the Brit and paid for by the left so the America hating left could obtain a FISA warrant to listen to some folks in the campaign office. They lied to the issuing judge to obtain the warrant.


Then.........pause, think, and try to defend Ali-bama as all this happened while he was President. A failed fool, just like Jimmy Carter

The Lefty Obama Loving folks are ever ready to swoop in like vultures to pick at every questionable part, policies and decisions that Trump makes but they never criticize Obama?



For example: The Left is pounding Trump and blaming him for the nearly 3000 deaths that have happened on Puerto Rico since hurricane Maria struck BUT when 4 Americans were murdered during the Benghazi attack Obama blamed a video that no one saw?



Trump delivers supplies to the island and then the elected fail to distribute it to the needy and it is his fault while Obama failed to protect and save 4 Americans because he and Hillary were playing politics while the attack played out before them and somehow it is not their fault?





We now know that Obama likes to take the credit for the good things and pass the blame for the bad.

Is this a trait of the Left or all politicians in general ?

Or is it a simplified perception? Obama Good, Trump bad?
Could you provide a few examples of Obama blaming Bush for something? It should be easy enough if he did it for 8 years.

gmagoo..............you can't be serious..........either you hadn't been born yet or you lived on another planet.


Ali-Bama complained all the time about the prior President George Bush..........and to be fair, so did I.

Surely we can find someone next time who can do all the things you Trump supporters are claiming he's done, without being a totally incorrigible person who has lost us all our former allies and deals out insults like they were going out of style.

I don't like his anti-environmental policies but could live with some of the things he's managed to do, except I just can't stand the man. We don't need someone like this representing us in our highest office.

Now read the above and put that into perspective. Trump lets 3000 die in Puerto Rico, the GOP is fine with it, total silence. Four people die in Benghazi and they have seven investigations.

Unemployment was 4% when Trump took office which is quite different than the state of the country when Obama took office where Bush had just signed TARP.

Trump claims he's the only one who had ever had 4% GDP growth, yet Bloomberg confirms the GDP exceeded 4% four quarters under Obama.

Reality is, Trump gave Texas anything it wanted during their hurricane but when New York and New Jersey suffered a hurricane, Republicans would not help them and they suffered for much much much longer than they should have. The same held true for Puerto Rico. The only reason Trump cares about Hurricane Florence is because it is targeting red states.

Texas Republicans likely won’t remember how they voted on Sandy relief

Like Melania's jacket in response to almost 500 kidnapped children: Trump really doesn't care.
