What's Obama's legacy? What has he REALLY accomplished for the US in his 8 years?
serious question.
I just remember him reading blah-blah speeches and posing for photos.
- Just take a look at pretty much everything that Trump and the GOP has repealed and you'll get a pretty good idea. Oh and the Affordable Care Act.hellrod
- The capture of Osama Bin Laden happened under his watch so he gets that credit too.hellrod
- A drop in unemployment every year for eight years straight. Fixed tons of bush era shit too.monospaced
- Did all that while preventing a second Great Depressionallthethings
- And all the economy things Donald Trump took credit for in his first yearerr
- Conservative news I read a few years ago said TPP would have been his biggest legacy. No wonder Trump ended it.mandomafioso
- The Reset with Russia, starting with scrapping NATO missile defense infrastructure in Poland and Czechia.
Reset pretty much handed whole East Europe to Putin.shaft - Withdrawing troops from Iraq and watching ISIS emerge and grow into that void.shaft
- Scrapping a Dept of State effort to tackle proliferation of Kremlin agitprop (Counter-Disinformat... Team), resulting in Russia's "meddling" in 2016 election.shaft
- The capture of Osam.... WHAT?!? bye.Maaku
- Note: this article is from 2015, a year before the election.
http://observer.com/…shaft - captured osama real good. right in the face.sarahfailin
- you forgot, decapitating Libya, bombing wedding parties, expanding wars, inviting Jay Z an Bey to WH, being novelty Pres with world leaders, crying on command.robotron3k
- i have to agree with Chuk tho, after his first election his speeches really sucked. They were never any good once he was in office, maintaining the status quo.robotron3k
- so you thought Obama's speeches sucked, but having nothing but praise for you 2nd grade intellect orange leader. hmm.inteliboy
- Oh wow! QBN is Obama fanboy central. LOL!chukkaphob
- @shaft - you are oversimplifying the rise of ISIS in the middle east. Wasn't so much a void in US military as it was policies set forth by the Coalitionronburgundy
- Provisional Government which was lead by Paul Bremmer. Namely the dismantling of the Iraqi army and the removal of Baath Party members from having any roles inronburgundy
- the new Iraqi government. There were additional circumstances but the fact is this all started long before Obama was ever elected.ronburgundy
