Less than TWO months, and the repub senate has done more than the dems senate did all last year....LOLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You mean they actually did something productive? Please get out of here with that nonsense ! That's nice tell me how many of these bills they're trying to put through are for lowering taxes, defund the aca, or help large businesses do what they want? How many bills are they pushing through to de-regulate the banking industry? Exactly what are in all these bills they are pushing through is it anything good for the country or better for their pockets?
Our involvement in never ending wars in the Middle East end?
Not ended, but drastically scaled back. Of course, middle east involvement has been almost a constant for the past 70 years. I'd like to see zero US involvement in that huge festering sewer. But I doubt that'll happen in my lifetime.
We're better off than 6 years back and by a wide margin.

Business as usual. Carry on.
Look at it this way. Bush inherited a prosperous USA that was at peace. He left office with two idiotically mismanaged losing wars and the worst economic disaster in three generations. Obama has been working hard to get the USA back on its feet. And it's looking better all the time.
You're free to grumble and groan about it, of course.
NOBODY on the right thought they could stop an out of control dictator. We're HOPING to minimize the damage this buffoon can do to the Republic until he's out of office.
If the man/thug doesn't respect our laws, and the Republicans don't have the will to stop him. the Criminal-in-Chef will do as he pleases.
History will not be kind to this man. He made his legacy, now he will have to live with it.
Interesting/ How is Obama a Dictator? What exact damage is he doing? Can you please list cited examples.
Your use of the term "thug" speaks volumes to your mindset. It is the new "N#gger" and you know it.
He will most certainly make history -- as the first non-white male to become President and that is not a bad thing. You may not like that but it is reality. However, your opinion and way of thinking will not be looked at kindly in our history.
The disastrous Dubya years are fading into bad memories. Obama is cleaning up that horrible mess.
Best it's been for a long time. And a lot better than 6 years ago. Surely you recall the huge Bush Recession.
Best?
for the first time a majority of school children are on government aid
the lost jobs that have been replaced pay 23 percent less
Average weeks on unemployment is 32 the average from 2000-2008 right before the collapse was 18-22 weeks
average median family income stagnant at best
prices rising
But sure there is a recovery, right?

Not good. Better than bad? Sure but not good. We agree on involvement in the Middle East.
BTW Obama used Bushes time table for Iraq even though he lied and said he'd get us out right away then 16 months, then 19 months, then 30 months.
Troops going over to fight ISIS, others going to Syria to train rebels.

No it wasn't prosperous. We just came off the dot com bubble so Congress decided to "fix" the economy by doubling down on the same failed economic concept by giving away money for housing.

No it's not looking "better". The carnage has been stabilized, But using words like better and good is absurd. Even for you.
