    Okay, Carter was after Ford?

    Median income growth didnt even match the compounding effect of inflation.
    The rest was massive asset price inflation from hot money coming out of the Fed.
    Yay, homes and all other assets got even more unaffordable for the median worker

    A 2 year old could have done the job

    And Obama made trillions for bankers, so incompetent they blew up their businesses in 2008.
    Yay for the triumph of the average guy under Obama

    The Rosen issue involved the leaking of classified national security info. Obama didn't give the DOJ Rosen's name and tell them to start digging. And the IRS nonsense is just that, nonsense. Lerner used keyword searches to validate a second questionnaire, which any applicant is subject to. It was lazy and overly simplistic.

    Interesting take.

    Obama used the IRS and FBI for political uses, spied on the media and used Russian/DNC propaganda as a basis to spy on his political opponent... Nixon only did some of those things, and Trump did none of them.

    Yep. By the way Ford was in certain ways far more consequential than carter, though he only served two years.

    Uhhuh yeah it just so happened the keywords she used identified almost exclusively Republican groups and if you believe Obama had nothing to to do with the Rosen fraudulent investigation you'd buy land you never seen on the internet.

    I was born in August 1938 so have seen many presidents.

    Obama is the worst. I quit the Democrats party partly due to Carter. Carter became a better post president than Obama has. Obama has plenty of room for improvement.

    As to Nixon, since I was a democrat when he was president, for many years I hated the man.

    The bulk of Nixon hate is due to Watergate. But as a president, he really was a lot better than i have thus far credited him with.

    A common trait of Democrats is they hate politicians and on that score I was no different. I quit hating them once I started to vote for republicans.

    When in reality the IRS targeted right wing groups for "special investigation" with insane questions like the content of their prayers. Then they refused to make a decision and kept them in limbo so they couldn't appeal. Hell even Lerner apologized for it. The IRS targeting was the biggest scandal of my life time (admittedly I'm not that old) but the complicity media did everything it could to make it go away for their guy Obama.

    I make my living on the internet yet I think that, overall, the internet has done more harm than good to our culture.

    In what way was the Rosen investigation fraudulent? You know the leaker was prosecuted, right?

    And Lerner was a Bush appointed and promoted idiot. It isn't anyone's fault that Right Wing groups looking to take advantage of charity designations lacked any imagination in naming their groups after political factions.

    Doesn't excuse at all the fact that she targeted groups with whom she disagreed for special attention shall we say? So are you claiming that left wing groups don't ever try to take advantage of that sort of thing?

    Kinda forgetting a few Really important facts.
    Obama doubled the National debt.So did his Predecessor Bush 43.
    But Bush went from around $ 5 Trillion to a little over $ 10 Trillion.
    Obama ballooned it from a little over $ 10 Trillion to a little
    under $ 20 Trillion.
    Gigantic and momentous historical difference.
    Obama's Poverty Rates were among the Highest recorded for
    Blacks.
    Had a Labor Participation Rate as weak as any ever recorded.
    Plus the clincher .... :
    In 2014 it was reported that for the First time in
    Modern American History the Middle Class was
    No longer a majority.
    Where 1/5th of our Middle class fell into poverty.
    Where 1 in 2 working americans make Under $ 30,ooo

    NOT forgetting anything. Obama's failure to control the debt was a big failure on his part.
    That doesn't give Trump an excuse to go for a new record on spending.

    She wasn't found guilty of intentionally targeting any specific group. She was Republican hired and Republican promoted. I don't see how she would be a liberal. Looks pretty straight R to me.

    Obama sucked, but any question to his horrid rule was brushed away as racism. He was a divisive jackass, instead of uniting the country, which he probably could have, he pushed his dead-end agenda and fractured this nation to its core. Now liberals blame it all on Trump, but if Hillary would have won the nation wouldn't be united, because Obama already broke that...

    They also went after James Rosen's parents.Like how Holder's
    DOJ had no problem at all going *after The New Black Panther Party
    when they declared a Bounty of $ 10,ooo for whereabouts of George
    Zimmerman { who was forced to go underground }.Enentually
    widdle Spike Lee { chicken-legged little punk colored } gave out the
    address of George Zimmerman;'s parents home.They were forced to
    also flee and find other places to hide.
    Holder,not satisfied with the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman
    verdict managed to authorize the F.B.I. to conduct a civil rights
    Investigation { post verdict } on George Zimmerman.
    That is THE kind of Stalinistic tactics Obama deployed with
    His Deep State that were out in the open.



    * Holder's DOJ never even attempted to hold the New Black
    Panthers accountable for offering that bounty.Imagine that,
    Eventually Holder { who make it possible for Al Sharpton to get almost
    instant Rally permits to foment hate and discord at George Zimmerman.

    Sharpton even demanding the removal of the Sanford Police chief.

    Every opportunity he had, he race baited and created strife where none need exist. He attacked his political opponents with executive agencies, like the IRS, EPA, FBI, and others. He wasted his political capital on a failed stimulus and crappy Obamacare. Had he actually worked at uniting this country he could have, but he failed...

    Just a footnote; Obama's 8-year approval rating is the worst since Jimmy Carter. Even GW Bush (AKA the shrub) did better.
