But...but....everybody keeps saying that Trump did more in 100 days than Obama (or any other president) ever did....

I can't believe that they would lie, oh pardon me, use alternative facts about this issue.

^^^^You're not the only one. I, too, thought that his post was gibberish. Instead of clarifying, he comes back with name calling.

3. Called Meryl Streep overrated.

4. Failed to repeal Obamacare

5. Criticized retailers for dropping his daughter's clothing line

6. Spread fake news he heard on Alex Jones and Breitbart

7. Burned Arnold Schwarzenegger

8. Played golf.

Approval rating: 41%



Obama's first 100 days:

1. Passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

2. Passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009

3. Updated the statute of limitations for equal-pay lawsuits

4. Expanded State Children's Health Insurance Program

5. Lifted the 7½-year ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research

6. Implemented new ethics guidelines designed to significantly curtail the influence of lobbyists on the executive branch.

Approval rating: 65%


That pretty much speaks for itself.

.
What counts is what obama left as a legacy, being first off the starting blocks is irrelevant. Setting the middle east on fire and funding the greatest sponsor of terror is not the sign of a successful administration. Obama set the foundation for cosmic global disater that cannot be erased by 'evolving' his position on social justice goals.


The media considered any opposition to obama as racist to shut down political opposition. Trump is being assaulted by dems and media relentlessly with dems legislators stating they would not even meet with trump.


Obama passed legislative disasters that will have to be changed.


65% is the least a novelty election winner might garner when he was considered untouchable. Any one who touched him was turned to a salt block by the media and dems. Obama appointed a communist as green energy czar and made a huge blunder appointing HRC as SOS. History will not be kind to obama.


Repubs gave obama whatever appointments he wanted as a sign of cooperation. Dems sandbagged and delayed Trump's appointments.


Given the hated filled fear mongering campaign that went unabated post election, Trump is doing far better than obama ever did in 8 years.

They'll be posting the same crap in 2021 during Trumps second term, after losing another 200 seats, 120 lower court judges, 2-3 more governors, and a complete 180 from Obama's feckless lead from behind rule of an academic fool. Who, BTW, is now taking $400k from those Wall Street crooks for a single speech. It's so great being a liberal progressive because hypocrisy is never a problem.



Why do you think the anti-Trump tribe is doing overtime in here over the last week? They need to get everyone off the fact that things have been pretty damn good lately.


While the Dems are continuing to look like fools.
I'd be careful making predictions. They may come back to haunt you, just like they did for the Hillary supporters.

Did you just awaken from a nap? Even though I almost always disagree with you, your posts are usually fairly coherent. The above lacks coherence, but I managed to decipher what you were trying to say.

First of all, the House didn't have anything to do with giving 'Obama's man' (Garland) a chance, nor a SCOTUS nominee nominated by any other POTUS...the Senate did. The Senate gives 'advice and consent' re SCOTUS nominees. Consent is obviously a vote, advice is not really defined and, most importantly, the Constitution doesn't put any timeline on that process.

I didn't vote for Trump, and I wish Hillary had had some other main opponent who could also have beaten her. Whether it was re laziness or a true desire to delegate (we'll likely never know which one), Trump announced that he would, re the Scalia vacancy, pick from one of the 20 judges recommended by The Heritage Foundation. On November 7th, people who were only going vote for one of the two major candidates had a choice between Trump and Hillary the next day. With Hillary, we would have had a pick probably not unlike Kagan or Sotomayor. I saw 'Save the Supreme Court, Vote Trump' signs in a few places around the Houston metro. Trump got enough votes in the right locations to win. Trump could have said 'Nah, forget the 20 on the list, I'll pick my own'. But he didn't. He honored THAT promise that he made before the election, and a number of people probably voted as the person you replied to did...the Supreme Court was the most important issue. I had the luxury of not voting for Trump (among other things, I'm not a Republican), and not having any feeling of dereliction about it (Hillary wasn't going to win Texas), but perhaps the person you were replying to lived in a swing state on November 8th, 2016. The person you replied to probably didn't read my post, but I actually used the phrase 'anything else is gravy' re the Supreme Court in a post not too long after the election.

It's funny because we have all of the "Trump is doing horrible things threads" and we have the "Trump isn't doing anything threads".

Me personally, I'm glad there's no stupid wall and that ACA wasn't repealed and I think it's probably better he's not doing stuff.

Here's a very quick summary of what Obama did, ...

Trump has accomplished so much despite having to wipe clean much of Obama's mess and with a 91% disapproval rating from our msm.
