Barack Obama!

[Tisme]

If I had told you eight years ago that America would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history… If I had told you that we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban people, shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program without firing a shot, and take out the mastermind of 9/11… If I had told you that we would win marriage equality, and secure the right to health insurance for another 20 million of our fellow citizens—you might have said our sights were set a little too high.

Not impressed by the social engineering aspect of marriage, otherwise he did inherit a poisoned chalice made ready for him by his predecessor.

Beside taking it easy on homosexuals, Obama not only drank the chalice, he went and make a second dose.

Take out bin Laden... that's good, but then how many future bin Ladens has be created with that extra six wars he expand the US into? Funding and training "moderate" rebels... bin Laden was one of those moderates, remember?

Healthcare was written by the insurance companies. They make noises about being forced and all that but beside having to accept people with "pre-condition" like having some other illness not related to the eventual illness, insurers made a killing under ObamaCare. I heard premiums just gone up some 20% last year.

Are there no other alternatives than forcing people to buy health insurance?

GM... he just gave them more money to bail them out. Then return it to them once it's profitable again. Same with Wall St. He actually told the head bankers that he's the only one standing between them and the angry mob... so here's a few trillions.

Is Obama really a Muslim?

Don't bother, it's completely irrelevant.

Well, we will see about that.

I must admit, there is some conflict of interest in whether he was a Christian or a Muslim.....Some say he was a "GREAT PRERENDER" and leaned heavily to the Muslim faith and his back ground would surely indicate it.

He's a politician in a dominantly Christian society. So of course he's Christian.

His biological father was Kenyan; his mum was a hippy with a PhD; his step father was Indonesia [Malaysian?] Muslim.

He didn't get religious until after Harvard when he figured that to get a chance in American politics, one have to pretend to be Christian and pious.

See how Trump and having three marriages and countless extra-marital affairs is now all holy and god-fearing?

At least Trump did have all 3 wives living under the same roof as do Muslim men.

I think VC has opened up a can of worms on Barack Obama.......Is it any wonder the country is in a financial mess.......To convert a country to Socialism you must first destroy the economy...Obama did it just like Rudd/Gillard/Rudd did 2007/2013.

Just noticed my typo error.......It should have read "At least Trump did NOT have all 3 wives living under the one roof".

Worth reviving this thread for this story.

When Barack Obama became President he decided that each day he would read and personally respond to 10 letters (from the many. many thousands ) sent to him.
He did it as a conscious effort to stay in touch with the American people.
But the story is more than just the numbers. well worth reading.


During his presidency, Barack Obama read 10 letters from members of the public every day. He reveals what they meant to him

Is soft-shoe-shuffle Obama doing anything other than reciting history? In his second term he was a-lame-duck-President and somewhat lame duck in his first term. Speaking to get cheered by an audience is easy and preaching like a priest is not impressive, it is about himself, as a failed President presenting himself as a great success?

Interesting to compare Obama to Trump on trumps metrics...why is he a failed president?

Apart from the commonly known as Obama-Care, what else did he achieve in his first term. As important, what did he achieve in his second term of office as President. Business deals were poor for America, failed on North Korea, was led by the nose on Iran, and floated around the world making himself look good in speeches.

Well Trump is claiming economic triumphs, unemployment rate, equity market rise...etc. That's what I was curious about as that's what Trump is benchmarking...to be clear I'm not partial to one or the other, I just find the usual twisting of facts amusing and was curious of the actual facts...
