It's sad that there are adults or here who actually believe in a fairytale like American exceptionalism. Like somehow being born within a geographic range granted us superhuman powers.
Is that really how you think the meaning of American exceptionalism is? Wow!

If you've been to many foreign dungholes, when you get home you realize your most precious possession is your American passport.
If you "lean to the right" you are not a conservative.

He was the worst we've ever had. He left race relations in a shambles; he botched the Iran nuclear deal, he spiked the budget deficit through the roof; he took imperial president, unilateral actions and never made a serious attempt to work with Republicans, ruined health care, abdicated the U.S. position of leading the free world, nuzzled up to dictators and didn't solve one major problem..

The economy was in horrible shape as a perfect storm of situations hit, not the least of which was the Democrats running Congress. He had the worst post war recovery from a recession. Unemployment only dropped because so many people were classified as "no longer looking for work".

You might not mind paying higher premiums, but lots of people, especially those with families, do and the cost was supposed to go DOWN, not up. Healthcare hasn't improved and there are still MILLIONS without health insurance.

It wasn't a "thaw" in relations, it was sucking up to a brutal dictator at the expense of Cuban dissidents. Lefties talk about Trump sucking up to Putin, Obama was ten times worse with Castro, Venezuela, the mullahs in Iran, the radicals in Egypt, dissing our only ally in the ME (Israel) and sticking a thump in the eye of the Brits too. Obama was a foreign polica disaster.

It is that sort of nonsensical kowtowing that nailed Obama to the "Wall of Phonies". Who does he think he's kidding? He was sucking up to Muslims and nothing else.
"Police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, acted stupidly in arresting a prominent black Harvard professor last week after a confrontation at the man's home."
Barack Obama, July 23, 2009.
More stupid, biased comments from The Man Who Would be God. The police followed procedure, but there was Obama cheering on those who chose to defy legal demands from proper authority. It was the first of many times that Obama put police officers in danger. In fact, Obama's followers took their cues from Obama and killed many officers during Obama's reign.
Oh the irony of Trump loyalists calling Pres. Obama "the worst we ever had", the man was an entirely capable President, who brought us back from an economic depression started by your boy Bush.
Pres. Obama staidly, slowly, and surely kept America humming along and it recovered from the previous 8 year of Republican misrule. And now, folks, we start the cycle all over again, with someone utterly unqualified to be President, who lies in own alternate universe, right along with the people who support them.
It's quite obvious to thinking people that there is little hope for those 30 to 35% of Americans who believe in Donald Trump.

I generally try to avoid responding to such nonsense, but I did want to say that if you knew anything about history, you would know that Islam actually does have a long tradition of tolerance, unlike the radicalism of the last part of the 20th century, much of that resulting from U.S. imperialism.
The rest of your nonsense is not worth commenting on.

You should restrain yourself more. No one on earth believes that Islam is simply going through a bad period.
