    Obama was an excellent president. Rated 12th by historians and scholars recently. Came in office in an epic recession... 8 years later every single market much healthier than it was. And he had 75 straight months of job growth. I would not call that a band aid. It's lasting improvements that have continued into the trump administration, which of course trump is trying to take credit for even though hes literally done next to nothing as president.

    Obama didnt have the greatest job growth ever, but that was because the economy was on the mend. The fact remains that the job market and economy improved year after year during his time. He gets credit for dealing with a mess few presidents have had to deal with on that level, and made progress. It didnt get worse, it didnt stay stagnant, it was legit improving. Thats his legacy that cant be erased. Its in the history books permanently, the president that brought up back from the great recession.

    • And he had no drama at all during 2 terms. No Drama Obama, unlike Trump who has been nothing but drama.CygnusZero4
    • So this means that under great pressure and racism, Obama kept his cool, as good presidents should. He never complained.CygnusZero4
    • To say nothing of what Obama had personally endure during his presidency. Racism, personal insults, the sort of discourse that has no place in civil society.Continuity
    • Much of that virtiol, of course, coming from your current so-called 'president'.Continuity
    • At the very least he was a respectable representative for this country and an example of how act when you're a leader. Something Trump can't ever do.sofakingback

    • That was a nice moment. Looking back to remember the positive things. The "No-drama-Obama" years when racism didn't exist, when life had meaning.omg

    • When personal insults had no place in society, a landscape of American beauty, an era we can call.... The double rainbowomg
    • I weep a tear and blink at the epic recession that does not exist. But alas, there is no band-aid for the one that pumps the red, white, and blue.omg
    • You are fucking hopeless. You disagree with everything said there, all those irrefutable facts?allthethings
    • Why so angry omg? What has you so insulted personally? Long gone are the days when you claimed to be a libertarian, now you're just an angry Trumpet.sofakingback
