You want to discuss noble prize given to Obama and you want to discuss it in terms of illegal immigration and other "things" Trump has done

When Obama was doing nothing was far better for America then when Obama did things to America.

We would have been better served to have him shoot hoops 1/20/2009-1/19/2017 and pay him as POTUS, than to have him mess up stuff the way he did.

OK...

When Dubya apologists stop denying that he lost two stupid wars that he and chicken Dick Cheney started and then went on to tank the economy with the worst crisis in three generations.

But he truly is NOT the worst GOP prez in the past decade.

Aren't you guys in the process of fixing that health care bruhaha right now? Hah! fat chance. Word on the street is that the people at your town halls are ready to tar and feather you guys. You did everything in your power to **** it up and now you're going to FIX IT..............fat chance.

Like it was all just fine before the ACA.
4.8% comes from employable working folks. Many younger and older folks pushed out by the new economy are struggling.

Good point. I always thought he got the award for the momentous achievement of not being George W. Bush.

Why does anyone get awarded the prize? Why did they award Henry Kissinger the prize, who ordered the bombing of Cambodia, among other places? Maybe there weren't any outstanding candidates in those years??!

Similar to "Why was Trump given the job of President for lying and calling people names"?

Discuss LOL
Actually President Trump had to work to get the job, just as BO did.

Guess you haven't heard how he altered how unemployment stats are defined.

Always seemed odd to me to hear BO fans talk about how well he had done with the economy when stuff like food stamp usage was so high.

I think even most hardcore Obama supporters think that the Nobel Prize thing was a bad decision.
