I honestly think this might be the funniest post I've ever read here.
Sometimes honesty can be hilarious, except for the ones who live in denial. Michelle Obama says something about having no hope for this country, then closet racists get all butthurt and start talking that bull. I say let 'em get butthurt. No food off my plate.
Ah, a history revisionist, now. OMG - looting is what happened during the Bush years. Unfunded tax cuts (theft - outright THEFT) and wars - all so the upper 1% could get more of our money - leading to the biggest financial collapse since the Depression. Gotta love that alternate universe - The Mad Hatter's Tea Party never ends.
Obama has run up 9 trillion in debt and nothing to show for it. He's a looter.
The real question is, is she still proud of her country?
Apparently she is only proud of the country when her husband is in office, not the fact this country afforded her the opportunity to earn a law degree from one of the most prestigious Universities in the land.
She will also go down as the first First Lady to have accomplished absolutely nothing while in that role. She won't be missed.
Sorry, she will absolutely be missed. She is one of the most gracious and beautiful first ladies ever. For the past 8 years she has had to endure all the racists comments about her and the president. She has held her head high ever when she was called an ape in heels. That is so hurtful but yet she let it slide off her back as did Obama. Did she go on a twitter rampage condemning those who opposed her. Of course not, because she has class. Oh gee, who goes on a twitter rampage when their feelings get hurt by SNL. Should I give you a hint

You've got that backwards in a major way. No wonder Trump won. Defunding of education in this country is clearly evident.
Economics and GDP 101. Given we had no economy after the Bush disaster, of course we ran up debt. People were not working. People who don't work don't pay taxes. Massive enrollment in food stamps. Massive foreclosures. Massive drain on all the social safety nets. Extended unemployment benefits were paid through December 2013. That means the country was in recovery 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 - at the very least five years. Then with globalization, technology, offshoring of high paying jobs to low-wage countries, the jobs that were created do not pay nearly as well.
This is NOT 1982. This is 35 years later. The world is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. It is illogical to expect a 1980's recovery today. We are now competing with 3rd world nations for cheap labor at .50c an hour. It ain't happening.
If you want to educate yourself, take the time to view this -
bouyant recoveries are NOT NORMAL.Weak, anemic recoveries, are normal - and will continue to be. Trumps goal of 4% GDP isn't going to happen - recreation of highly-paid low-skilled jobs in the US isn't happening. Anyone expecting a boom will be disappointed. Corporate tax cuts will NOT result in new jobs, but they will result in stock buybacks and increased dividends for shareholders. Middle class tax cuts are joke - middle class barely pays any tax as it is unless that family earns well over $100k/year. Quite possible for a family to have a $60k income and not pay any tax - unless they're stupid. There's a reason ACA subsidizes health insurance premiums for families earning over $90k/year.
Given what Obama faced when he took office, it's a miracle we're still standing. I will never forget 2008/2009 - never.
No - Obama was not the looter. That happened under Bush - and we're not over it, yet.

Nice excuses. The economy sucks because Obama is anti-business and he encouraged an invasion of illegal immigrants, depressing wages. On top of that, the Dems stole trillions of taxpayer dollars. They're looters.

Guess how much we will have to pay to protect Milania in NY and Trump in DC. I don't want my taxes paying for this. Maybe Trump supporters should pay for this
Because he's a horrible choice for the office and his campaign was hateful and divisive.
