Don't forget Reagan's horrible policy with his war on drugs. That single policy has been pretty much the reason why poor urban communities have been wrecked to near third world conditions. Just as with abortion, alcohol and cigarettes, just because the government makes it illegal, doesn't mean people will stop doing it. So, might as well just throw the towel in with this farce of a war and just legalize all drugs, tax the crap out of them, and then use all of that money to set up rehab centers to help people get over their addictions. It's the only way to end this mess. I bet gang activity alone will be slashed by well over 75%. How many people are rotting in jail cells because of some stupid drug possession, while the gang leaders are still killing and smuggling people and weapons into the country???

He may have been black, but he was never a true African American, like the real ones who are ancestors to the slaves brought here before this country was even born. His family never knew the struggles like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X did. He's a fake and a fraud. Heck, Bill Clinton is more of an African American than Obama could ever dream to be.

Uh, don't think it's fear mongering when it is clear that the ACA has been a disaster for most of Americans, and we are getting tired of the dems anti-gun rhetoric. Now, since the state of the union address, they made it quite clear, they don't care about the struggling American families no more, they only care about illegals. A government who is putting foreigners over it's own citizens is definitely in need of being thrown out to the wolves. We don't need traitors like that in the white house making laws.

I tend to believe that the Dems thought that they could successfully nationalize healthcare, but the insurance, drug lobbies were too powerful and prevented real socialized medicine. The Dems made the decision to kill “the public option” early on, which let the private insurance companies to dictate rates just as before with certain new requirements. Perhaps they thought that this was the best that they could produce and a “starting point” to something better- eventually?

And what does that say about all the people who voted for Hillary? As liberals keep pointing out, she won the popular vote - proving how stupid and gullible much of the voting public is.

What is interesting about our little poll is that the current results would have been different if it was taken one year ago. It would not have surprised me if the numbers were not reversed. To me this says that people are waking up and realizing: Hey; this isn't so bad!

Last year at this time many were predicting the end of the world!

There is a strong undercurrent of racism in his most vocal detractors. The most vile and poisonous of his critics are correspondingly the most racist.

Of course, many of these people are not racist, many are just stupid, and believed the non-stop, hate filled, and wholly inaccurate accusations they read about him for 8 years, but his performance based results as President are fact based, as his statistics in job creation prove. Trump is now riding the crest of a wave that Pres. Obama is responsible for.

There seemed to be more gun violence under his watch than any 2 past presidents combined. I mean, just look at the media, it was always something, and he was always on the podium crying about gun control with every tragedy. We even had 2 terror attacks under his watch, The Boston bombing and the Pulse Night Club shooting, and this is something that could have been prevented, but he had people afraid of being called racist or islamaphobe if they became suspicious about something.
Obama also pitted the homsexuals against the straights, he pitted women against men, and if you were a an outspoken, Bible believing, practicing Christian, God help you.

Obama was the most intentionally devisive president we have ever had, hands-down, case-closed and game over. There is not another president who even comes close to him on this.
