So! proud to have lived during two Barack Obama administrations

NOW! more than ever, I truly believe he's the GREATEST American President in my Lifetime. From the years 2000 to 2008, America was going back into the Dark Ages, from the attack on 9/11/2001 to the Great recession caused by GW Bush, the crash of the American Markets, Two unfunded Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that seemed to go on forever and all the while, Osama Bin Laden was living the good life in Pakistan and Bush said he really didn't care where Bin Laden was and didn't really think about him much. Barack Obama was handed the WORST Pile of Crap in the Oval office any President has ever inherited and boy! has he brought America back from the brink of Disaster. I know myself, I was thinking that I might not ever be able to retire, but the way he has overseen the Country and the Stock Markets and American Business having faith in his administration, my personal finances and outlook for the future is looking stronger than ever. It's really remarkable that he has accomplished as much as he's done, even with a Republican Party who's single goal from the day he was inaugurated was to make him a one term President by doing everything they could to slow America's recovery. Anyways! for those of us who are not blinded by color and recognize what a wonderful President he has been, he will be TRULY! missed and I just hope whatever Democrat succeeds him whether it's Trump, Hillary or Sanders, that they carry on his great legacy. It's no wonder his approval rating is at 52% right now, because people are beginning to realize how hard he is going to be replaced.

I agree that history will record him as a very good president. And history will record the obstruction and outright harm to the country the republicans enlisted in their partisan political attempts to harm him.

 

Of course the stock markets "rebounded", he gave them a paycheck and told them that the old order would largely be preserved for them, and it has. Meanwhile, wages haven't gone up, food stamp participation increased. Libya happened, ISIS happened. And the foreign arena is worse than when Bush handed it to him. The next President is utterly unprepared for the next steps to be taken, and Americans will have to prepare for a long rebuilding project ahead.

 

If Obama is the best president during your lifetime then I can only say you write quite well for someone seven years old or younger.

But you left out Obama's total lack of transparency, destroying our healthcare system, crony capitalism, the wasted trillion dollars in stimulus money, the corruption in his DoJ and IRS, his idiotic "if I had a son" comment, his "stay the course" comment and the "Cambridge police acted stupidly" comment which led to Obama being the modern day president most responsible for racial tension. You forget to mention his "JV team" comment about ISIS, or running off to play golf after an American was beheaded. Then there's packing his bags for a fund raiser while Benghazi was attacked and Americans were murdered. There was his lie, his absolute lie about 'liking your doctor' and his constant attacks on republicans in just about every speech he gives which shows he's not a unifier but a divider. Best of all, you forgot to mention Obama is totally incompetent and an anti Semite who handed Iran nukes along with billions of dollars which his own administration admits will fund terrorism.

Want me to go on?

 

First, it's amazing how the Left points to the stock market as evidence of the success of Obama. If the Right did this, the Democrats would say something like "see, they only care about rich fat cats on Wall Street." The market has been high because interest rates are artificially low. Also, the cheap money will lead to future inflation and the poison pills of debt will hit after he's gone, and the stupid Democrats will blame someone else.

Second, I can make a relatively easy case of treason against Obama: a) he's facilitated a foreign invasion by helping the illegals at the border and ignored court injunctions to stop providing benefits to illegals and b) he released highly dangerous irregular fighters from Gitmo, when the only non-treasonous actions at these stage is either continued retention or execution (both allowed under international law). Add his intentional deception regarding his plans not to retaliate against foreign threats, and a strong case is easy to make.

History will not be kind to either Obama or his supporters.

 

Wow!.....so much love and idolatry going on here, so then why do you call yourself "The Angry Liberal"?

 

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You also shouldn't post pictures of yourself on public forums.

So then why do you support Trump. I don't understand?

 

Are these supposed to be insults? Because they're unbelievably lame.

The PF should have an age requirement that one can't participate on the forum if they aren't at least 16 years of age.

FYI:
Sen. Obama helped create the mess President Obama 'inherited'

Another FYI:
Bush didn't spend eight years blaming President Clinton for Clinton's failed anti terrorist policies he inherited.

 

I agree with OP, I'm proud to have made it through two Obama administrations as well. Took lots of stamina and determination not to give up during the Obama disaster, thank god the nightmare is almost over.

 

No. Nothing could insult you.

 

Bush didn't fully cause the recession. He didn't repeal glass-steagal, Clinton did. The banks began to get very greedy and got to do whatever they wanted cause of it. You live up your name.

 

And if anyone wants to know how low Obama will sink to protect wrong doing he claimed his Attorney General's emails to his wife deserved executive privilege protection.

 

An easy case is rarely a good one. Basically what amounts to treasonous behavior in this post , is seeking policy changes, you personally can't fathom as in our national interest. You define what is and isn't, and then you declare any divergence as treason. Stalin and Mao did a lot of that kind of thing too.

 

OMG, when I read his comment the first thing that came to mind was, how old is this kid!

 

I agree that Obama was handed the great recession caused by GW Bush. Hell, he admits it;

Obama got treated like Jackie Robinson and it was mind opening to see how much this racism still existed. I could literally dive into people's minds and ask them why they hated Obama so much and they either couldn't tell me or they would tell a lie. They were cornered and I knew it was racism. He brought a lot of new people into politics that were absolutely convinced that he was the reason for the entire national debt by Fox News it was clear why they joined the political discussions.

He did ok in my eyes but he was still bought out by big industry. I saw him fold to the Military Industrial Complex early in his Presidency but I saw him stand up against them later in his Presidency. Every move he made he had someone funding it hard. But that is America Congress today, all corporate profit puppets.

But yes. Robinson was scolded for being a bad baseball player because of his skin. Bigots really don't know any better because it's parent taught. I teach my kids to treat bigots like bigots treat minorities.

 

I think history will record that the GOP hated Obama more than they loved the country.

 

What has Obama done for this country. Tell us.

 

This is a message board. I'm not going to write up all the details that would be included in an official indictment.

Wrong. Seeking policy changes in one thing; unilaterally implementing without authority to do so is another. The latter is akin to Stalin and Mao, which is what we have in the Oval Office today. Advocating open borders isn't treason, doing so without Congressional approval (by revising current law) is another matter. Stopping enhanced interrogation is within the President's power and discretion; giving aid and comfort to the enemy is not. Advocating that we not respond to a beheading is one thing; lying about doing something with no intention to react is something else. Appealing court decisions in one thing; open defiance of court orders in another.

As with earlier occasions, historians will want to know why you and others supported such tyranny. Perhaps this forum will provide some clues.

 

Um, historically when a President disagrees with a specific interpretation on the breadth of his authority, either with the courts or the Congress, a court challenge ensues and one side gets legal vindication from a SCOTUS decision, while. the other side gets a legal spanking. Efforts by a branch to broaden the scope of its authority, past previously recognized parameters do not lead to treason charges. First, these are grey constitutional areas, not white and black ones, and second there is no treason without the requisite intent. This kinds of actions by one branch or another to assert a power or authority are of value. They are what create clearer legal boundaries and better constitutional tests as described in the majority opinion of SCOTUS, not acts of treason.

You do not decide what is or is not within the executive authority or power. We pay smarter and better legal minds than yours to do that job for us

 

Unfortunately, the replacements don't look any better. We may have to wait until 2020 to get the country going in the right direction. I hope for a lot of new faces. The Clinton dynasty is over, Bush will never be elected again. Can they give us new faces to look at? New possible leaders.

 

I GUARANTEE that if the Dow jones had dropped from 6594 pts on March 5th 2009 to lets say 2000 pts during Obama's presidency, Republicans would CERTAINLY be mentioning that in the majority of their posts. I also remember when the price of Gas was almost $ 5 a gallon, a lot of Repubicans were blaming President Obama, but these same NUMNUCKS were silent when it was below $ 2 a gallon. I really don't blame you Pubbies for your ignorance when it comes to President Obama, but I do find it comical, because it's always Obama's fault if it's something bad, but if it's good that's happening in the Country you believe Barack Obama can't possibly have any credit for it. You can't fix HATE
