LOL wrecked healthcare?? The United States' healthcare system has always been a wreck. At the very least the bull**** "Pre-Existing Condition" loophole that was used for a long time to steal money from citizens was done away with.
I'd say he TRIPLED the stock market from it's low....right before he took office.
He also cut unemployment by about 50%, insured 20+ million more people and set up things (good economy) to bring the deficit down.....which it WAS doing until Trump and most Republicans decided that it doesn't matter as long as they get some free money.
Then next time tell the GOP not to sink the economy. Shrug.
As the world financial system implodes, Democrats have blamed the Bush administration's lack of regulation for creating the conditions for collapse. But a top Clinton regulator acknowledges that he and his colleagues a decade ago "beat back" regulatory efforts that could have prevented credit markets from becoming so precariously balanced they were a millisecond from disaster.
The nation's leading financial officials – Levitt, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin, and his deputy Lawrence Summers – pummeled the proposal, saying it was dangerous to even discuss the idea. Led by Rubin, Levitt and Greenspan, the Clinton White House instead proposed a modest set of reforms. Months later, Clinton Administration officials walked away from their own recommendations, concluding the market could be best managed by the financial industry.

Obama's actual accomplishments and failures seem not to be the point for a lot of folks. It's maybe more about how they felt about him? Unfortunately, once you get away from facts, the arguments fall apart...It would be interesting to ask the same question about Reagan, who is thought by many to have been great. I say again: check the facts.
He acted like he had some damn sense and NEVER once brought disgrace upon the presidency. He was able to walk out of the job with his head held high.
And that’s for starters, which is a lot better than what this present occupant of the WH will be able to do when he’s done.
hahahah..after I stopped laughing at the extreme absurdity of that statement..but then I saw the first to words of your statement..."HE ACTED" and then realized your post was in fact a funny joke.
I'm sure the Indians, the dogs, and space aliens are very happy, but what about the rest of America ? What has he done for us ?
- Unemployment is below 3%; an all time low
- Job growth is the highest growth in US history
- Textile and Manufacturing industries are seeing the best numbers since 2004/2005
- Blacks, Asians, and Latinos are no longer the highest unemployed ethnic groups in the US
- International terrorism is at an all time low
- ISIS is barely in existence
- Took out one of Iran's worst generals
- Established a good relationship with Kim Jong Un and North Korea (Something Obama would've never been able to do, because Kim had zero respect for him and viewed him as a joke.)
- Better relationship with Russia (Obama definitely wanted this, seeing as in 2012 he told Putin he would have "more flexibility.")
- Plans to fully pull out of Afghanistan within the next 1 - 2 years
- US military has increased in size, strength, and tech/weaponry
- Stock market is seeing the best numbers in decades
- Helped Ford not only stay in Detroit, but to also invest 1.5 billion into both of their plants in Michigan, which also helped Ford create 3,000 factory jobs as part of New UAW Contract
- Enforced tariffs on Mexico and China, forcing them to pay their fair share of import and export taxes
Is that enough? Because I can keep going if it's not.
He was basically Duhbya Bush's and the Clinton's third and fourth term. Kept the bank bailout and Detroit bailouts going. Let the FBI and CIA become weaponized politically against our own country while ignoring threats abroad and domestically. Made the Justice Dept. a circus. He was a manufactured stooge of the deep state which is why I'm glad to see both Mayor Cheat and Cory Booker get kicked down in the dem primary.
