    Where were you for 8 years?
    Brought health insurance to tens of millions who never had it.
    Brought the economy back from the brink of a depression.
    Kept us safer than Bimbo Bush ever did (no attacks).
    Nailed Bin Laden.

    Gave medicare to people who should be looking for jobs to the tune of $1 trillion, with a health care plan that is collapsing in on itself.
    Cut interest rates and put it all on the credit card doubling the debt, while rewarding those industries responsible with handouts
    Allowed the worst terrorist organization to grab the most physical territory in history while doing nothing about it, while toppling ME governments and doing nothing about Syria
    Allowed more terrorists into the country than ever, with more terror attacks than ever, while putting more criminals back on the street.

    What were you saying again?

    No, those are facts.

    You're welcome to try and dispute any of them if you want.

    Obama didn't keep us safer. That's BS. Bush setup the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11 and also forced ITT so intelligence agencies would share intelligence more to prevent such attacks.

    That's some alt leftist brainwashing to say Obama did that.

    And Obama "nailed" bin laden? How so? Was that when Obama jumped out of the helicopter and shot him in the face? Or do you mean intelligence from 2006 tracking Bin Laden's courier service finally produced a lead in 2011 that resulted in Obama saying "yes"?

    If you want to be narrow minded and say "Obama kept us safer" than the equivalent way of thinking would be to say Obama created ISIS because it happened during his term.

    Are you referring to the Unaffordable Healthcare Act where most Americans can't afford to use Obama Care ?

    There still hasn't been a full recovery of the economy after eight years under Obama.

    FYI: Obama didn't prevent the total collapse of the banking institutions and going into a full blown depression, TARP was signed into law by President Bush not Obama.

    There were 27 Islamist terrorist attacks on U.S. soil under Obama.
    Fort Hood, the Boston bombings, San Bernardino and the largest mass shooting in America's history the gay bar in Florida just to name a few all happened on Obama's watch.

    As for 9/11 most of the blame is on the Clinton administration. Bush (43) inherited Clinton's failed counter terrorist policies. Attorney General Janet Reno and her "wall" that prevented intelligence agencies and LE from sharing information on terrorist that prevented the "dots being connected." President Clinton decision that Al Qaeda was a law enforcement issue not a national security issue. Susan Rice convincing Clinton not to take Osama bin Laden into custody when the Sudan government offered to turn Bin Laden over to the Clinton administration. Yes the same Susan Rice as Obama's Susan Rice. --> < http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/how-susan-rice-bungled-sudan-8560 >

    If G.H. Bush (41) were have been reelected as POTUS in 1992 there would have been no President Clinton which would mean there would have been no 9/11 and no Bin Laden first Fatwa when Al Qaeda declared war on America back in 1996.

    "But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia whereafter vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the " heart" of every Muslim and a remedy to the " chests" of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu..." -> http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/opf980830a.htm

    Yes, Al Qaeda attacked America on 9-11-01 because Bin Laden looked upon Bill Clinton being a liberal pantywaist.

    Obama was out of the loop. It was Admiral McRaven who issued the order to take out Bin Laden not Obama. After Valerie Jarrett convinced Obama to order Navy SEAL's to stand down three times the authority to take out Bin Laden went from Leon Panetta with his note to Admital McRaven ->
    What 'Gutsy Call'?: CIA Memo Reveals Admiral Controlled bin Laden Mission -> http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2012/04/26/get-bin-laden-memo-cya/


    >"
    The memo also shows that Obama was not in charge of operation strategy as the mission was being carried out. Panetta noted that the timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven's hands..."<
    http://www.ibtimes.com/cia-memo-rel...bill-mcraven-kill-bin-laden-transcript-693506

    Was President Obama low information like so many other Americans were ? By 2004 the well informed already knew that Bin Laden wasn't the mastermind of 9/11 but was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was captured in 2003 under the Bush administration. Bin Laden was no longer top priority since America had captured the real mastermind of 9/11. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_Sheikh_Mohammed

    I love when liberals fall for the "tell me what Obama's accomplishments were" question.

    The beautiful thing is they know they can't defend him, so they just run away.

    Man you lefties just need to find some reason to bash Trump. First it was when he said he knew more than the generals, now he's leaving it up to the generals and he's still wrong.

    I'd imagine Mattis would have given Obama the "evil eye."

    Good thing the Dem Clown Show has just about packed its tents and left.

    Liberals: Obama doesn't need military experience. He has his Generals to advise him on every decision to keep us safe. They are the ones that need the experience.
    *Trump put's the most experienced General and Secretary of Offense in charge*
    Liberals: This is an outrage!

    LOL you guys are cracking me up

    Good for Don, he knows how to rightly delegate military decisions to people better qualified than him, it's a pity that past Admins didn't do the same thing-

    Obama fired Gen."Mad Dog" Mattis after conducting a witch hunt in the White House and the Obama White House couldn't come up with a legitimate reason to fire Gen. Mattis except Mattis was a warrior and warriors are not politically correct.

    I watched the Senates confirmation hearings for Gen. Mattis as being Trump's Secretary of Defense on C-Span.

    All the questions directed towards Gen. Mattis by Republican Senators were about national security, winning wars, defeating ISIS, reparing the damage inflicted on our military by Obama and the welfare of our troops and their families.

    Most of the questions directed towards Gen. Mattis by the Democrat Senators were about will the PC social engineering of the military continue ? It was all about gays, lesbos, dykes, drag queens, women serving as grunts in combat and urinals being removed from all military bases and from all U.S. Navy ships because urinals aren't PC and are sexist.

    Not in the military we didn't. In 2012, the military voted somewhere between 2.8 to 3 to 1 against Obama. Just 2 to 1 is horrible enough for a commander in chief.

    The civilians were responsible for that god awful 2nd term of his. Got you guys to blame

    Yeah Obama was a washout, I could hardly believe my ears when I heard him say on TV during his 1st term- "Our aim in Afghanistan is not to defeat the Taliban but to contain them and prevent them spreading their influence".
    In other words the same pussyfooting "containment" strategy that Washington imposed on the troops in Nam.
    I like Gen Douglas MacArthurs thinking best- "It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it"
