It's good to know that others feel the same as I do.
I don't know, Clinton was a good President, probably better, but Obama inherited a terrible mess, just like the next Democrat will when dimwit leaves office.
Poll must have been given mostly to millenials and Gen X'ers.
Don’t lump us gen Xers in with those leftist millennials. We came of age with Reagan, most of us would have chosen him. Our generation IMO is centrist or slightly right leaning.
From the article: "People’s views of the best president of their lifetimes are partly tied to their ages. Millennials, who are currently ages 22 to 37, are far more likely than older generations to name Obama as one of the best presidents in their lifetimes."
This is always the case. So what does all this mean? Nothing!
Of course they do because their lifetime hasn't been that long. Obama was president for 8 years. The 22 year old minus 8 years of Obama leaves a 14 year old's memory of Bush. You think the 14 year old could judge Bush on let's say, the economy or foreign relations? That's it. I'm sure they have no firsthand knowledge of any president from their childhood years so besides Obama and 2 and a half years of Trump, that's all they've got. The poll should show how many presidents were actually in their lifetime after age 18.
Gee, I don' know.
On his watch the banking industry went from being locked-up and too frightened to loan money to working as they should
On his watch the US auto industry went from collapse to boom
On his watch the US housing market went from collapse to boom
On his watch the stock market went from a free fall to boom
On his watch the economy went from shedding over 700,000 jobs/month to creating well over 200,000 jobs/month
On his watch the percentage of Americans without health insurance dropped from 16% to roughly 9%
PLENTY of reasons.

that's what adding 9 trillion to the national debt and QE1,2,3, & dropping rates to near zero and throwing accounting rules out the window will do. these are all negatives btw that have to eventually be repaid and accounted for. he could have let the free market take care of itself and if he had - we would have gone through a few rough years but we would be far, far better off than we are now.
