    Worst president ever. Promoted divison by backing terrorist movements like BLM. So glad Trump is ruining his fake legacy. Which was really just putting perverts in the ladies room. Trump 2020!

    Thats your take on it. Clearly not everone agrees with it.

    God d--- is that a stupid thing to say. Obamacare isn’t “cleverly dubbed”, it is simply the way we say which president introduced the program. I guess someone cant be against anything Obama has done without being #TeamRed. Dumbass.

    I do disagree. Take a tiny portion of your time to learn about the economy before spouting bs.

    Hey dumbshit, this isnt a ‘Trump vs Obama’ thread. I havent said a thing about Trump so I dont know why you are. So many generalizations its ridiculous.

    We are still there. Thats on Obama as well as Bush and Trump. I dont give a s--- if we pulled out of one country. He said we would be done with it, and we are still there. f--- you for being too much of a b---- to admit that he didnt stick to his word.

    You have a crazy case of confirmation bias, and are a judgemental, disingenuous shill.

    Anyone who disagrees that Obamacare improved healthcare in this country is idiotic. It drastically improved insured rates & provided protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Far from perfect (we need universal healthcare like the rest of the developed world) but it’s an improvement undoubtedly.

    There has been multiple studies where the approval rating of "Obamacare" polls lower than the "Affordable Care Act" when asking the same people surveyed... you might even been a respondent to one of those polls...

    "s---... h---, naw I ain't like no OBUMMERcare. I like me that there Affordable Care Act, cuz Imma goddam 'Merican!"

    I'm going to learn you something about economics.

    In 2008 their was a worldwide financial crisis centered in America... which took most of the hit... but other countries took financial damage as well.

    In 2009 Obama introduced his stimulus package... within months the downward trend in the economy turned around and we were out of the recession in less than 2 years and have had a booming economy for over 9 years

    Meanwhile Geeece suffered in the 2008 financial crisis in a lesser way... they decided to handle it with a series of austerity measures... instead of spending to stimulate the economy they cut spending.

    They have been in a recession for over a decade.


    Yeah... obviously you don't want to compare Obama to Trump.

    You just want to bash Obama in an ignorant, uneducated manor parroting the stuff that Foxnews can't even get away with saying any more.

    Let's see how the last 3 Presidents handled the middle east.

    Bush43: started 2 wars... including the incredible clusterfuck quagmire that was the Iraq War.
    Failed to capture Osama bin Laden after 9/11.


    Obama: ended the Iraq War. Capture killed Osama bin Laden. Rained down 30,000 drone strikes on ISIS.


    Trump: invited brutal Sharia Law enforcing dictator who killed 100s of Americans with terrorism and who's airforce shot missiles at the United States Airforce (an act of war) to his New York property.

    Partook in a weird ceremony with Saudi Royals where he put his hand on glowing globe.... then took no action when the Sauidis cut an American resident (with American citizen children) apart alive with a bone saw.

    Bungled many operations... including his first ordered strike that killed more non-combatants then belligerent ls... including an 8 year old American citizen... plus one of our Navy SEALs and destroyed a $30 million Osprey. He literally only placed the go order because Obama said it was too dangerous and not give the command on his way out.

    He did some bad s---, but when you compare him to any other modern president hes a saint. So as far as US presidents go, I would say he was pretty great.

    I bought into the anti-Obama hysteria, but looking back at things, even though he wasn't "good" by any means, he could have been a whole lot worse, and was definitely the lesser evil both times he ran.

    I think Obama has a positive Balance, he left Office with the country in good conditions. What i definitely dont like is his foreign policy

    His advocacy for the TPP was also bad. And at one point he was too willing to compromise with the republicans over social security cuts. Im sure there's other domestic s--- that's bad but overall he wasnt horrible. Foreign policy wise like you said it was pretty bad relatively
