I wouldn't have described Ford or Carter as "Independently wealthy" at the time of their Presidencies.

According to this chart, Ike was worth more than either in 2016 dollars.

I do not believe these represent figures necessarily as president. Most of Ike's would have certainly came after being elected.

Obama campaigning for Hillary worked, but Obama did nothing to STOP Vladimir Putin in selecting Donald Trump as President!

Expecting Obama to keep the poorly informed from believing Russian BS is expecting a lot of the man.

Obama was the only President in history who couldn't get a year of GDP over 3%.

I didn't forget. I know morals have been compromised to support Trump.

The Trump cult is the party of money over morals. It is not built on the character and foundation of America. It may or may not be associated with the GOP or Democratic party, it's a special cult only party. I'll pass go and keep my dignity.
A lot of people wouldn't be paying 4 times more for their health insurance and still unable to afford care.

Try to remember that communism was not a founding principal of this nation.

The individual was.

Obama is nothing more than a snake oil salesman. MANY people fell for it the first time around, blacks continued to fell for it and put him in office again in 2012. Most people don't believe him anymore....no matter how eloquently he speaks. Give me a straight speaker as opposed to an eloquent snake oil con artist any day.

If you have to ask, you probably won't get it anyway.

But I already wrote it in my first post....

"While I voted for Obama twice I was severely disappointed in him as a president. His mantra to the people was "You Do It". It still is from the little I heard of his speech. We elected him on promises and he failed to deliver except for no limits on health insurance payouts and no restrictions on pre-existing conditions. Other than that, zilch, nada. Nothing to alleviate the senseless war on drugs, the military industrial complex, the failure of the regulatory agencies, the prison industrial complex, closing Guantanamo, ending the war in the middle east. Obama was just another BS artist. A different style than Trump or Bush but no different in essence. As crazy as Trump acts, he hasn't started a war, he hasn't built a wall. He has mainly catered to the wealthy and powerful just like Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Reagan. I can't watch Obama without thinking, you had your chance and you blew it. Just like Eisenhower's hypocritical speech warning of the military industrial complex who he catered to shamelessly, building a 16,000 nuclear weapon arsenal, and delivery systems of bombers and missiles, silos, etc., during his presidency. Like a prostitute warning her daughters not to be fooled by pimps."
