Just to a forced attempt to make Obama look "cool"


Even the media knows his presidency has been complete sh!t, but they still try and convince us how "cool" of a president he is anyway.

He currently has a favorability rating of 59%. Schmucks like you are in the minority. Trumps favorability has been sitting around 35% over the last 6 months.

The reality is, Obama was measured, reasonable and brought the USA back from the brink of a disaster in the form of GFC. He got most of our troops out of the Middle East. He kept the country safe from terrorist attacks (unlike George W Bush).

The unemployment rate was over 10% when he was elected. Look at it now http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate

You may live in a partisan bubble, but anyone still in touch with reality, his presidency was not "complete sh!t". It was anywhere between "average to good". MUCH better than George W Bush.

We're involved in 3 conflicts in the ME right now, giving aid to rebel terrorists. He meddled in Israeli politics, gave money to Iran, etc... he isn't a great president. PS: Unemployment rates go down whenever people decide to STOP looking for work. It doesn't mean they have a job.

It's these reasons I don't understand how anyone can in good conciseness say he's been a good president.

"Unemployment rates go down whenever people decide to STOP looking for work. It doesn't mean they have a job."


then explain the job creation report , where millions of new jobs were created , not that people stop looking , this isn't that hard just stop repeating what they say on FOX and you can learn

reply

And the jobs that were created were temporary and part-time. It isn't lasting employment that people need.

You know what's funny? This movie doesn't make him look cool at all. In fact, he appears awkward and distant throughout most of the movie. But you'd know that if you had watched it before finding your way here to complain. Why should I be surprised that people here would assume something without research or you know... facts?

reply

Thank you, I came to the same conclusion. The 20 year old Obama in this movie is a typical college student trying to figure out his life. He seems insecure and unsure about almost everything, except school. I didn't see cool.

The Republicans FAILED to keep the country safe. 911 happened on their watch. They invaded Iraq for no reason other than Dick Cheney's corporate buddies making money. They crashed the economy with the GFC.

We are much better off now -- look at the economy. Look at the stock market. Facts are facts and your blind partisan ignorance is pathetic.

Was Obama perfect? Hell no. Many mistakes, a lot of problems. But compared to the last Republican he was an incredible president.

Trump on the other hand is off to a bad start with a cabinet of billionaires. I guess Republican cucks like it when they get raped by the elite?

Come back to reality...

You'll never convince these idiots that obama was a good president. History will remember him as so. We can sit here and laugh at the fact they are saying this when now the last two republican presidents (W Bush and trump) have been walking punchlines and an embarrassment to this country.

The original post is precisely why this discussion board is a done deal come February 20th. I can't say I blame the rationale.
