Thanks for the: bloated bureaucracy; stifling debt; decimated military; open boarders; suffocating economy; despotic wealth transfers and executive fiats; destruction of individual liberty; arrogant mandates; championed hostility toward America's Constitutional mooring; and de-unification of the American citizenry and its allies. Thanks a ton.
Fascism, Statism, Communism, Marxism, oligarchy, tyranny, you know...it's all just pretty groovy isn't it kids? If you can just ignore all the endless historical accounts of suffering, torture, death, and mind control, then the pursuit of collectivist utopias are just the coolest. Just keep idolizing your despotic rulers, you will be rewarded alright.
good riddance. he has been horrible to not just the black communities, but to this country as a whole. we have never been so divisive and full of hate as we were in the last few years. i had two hopes for him in the first term. one, to fix the economy or two, to get us out of war. in two terms he didn't do either. in fact the debt got worse and the terror has got stronger. he was horrible all around. as i had hopes for obama, i hope you hold hope for Trump. as i said when obama was elected. "i didn't vote for him, but he is my president and i hope he does well" wish Trump the best and hold him accountable for his actions in office. if he doesn't do well, don't vote him in a second time. obama should never have been reelected. he failed the first term, he shouldn't have had the second chance to do worse. BTW i hated bush too and voted gore.

the tax cut doesn't help most businesses. i should know i owned one from 09-13 and only shut down when my parents were disabled in a car crash. i know of many, MANY businesses that shut down specifically due to obamacare making it impossible for them to afford staying open. the healthcare system was a failure and you know it. if you don't you really need to get out from under that rock. for $10Trillion+ he added to the debt, you'd think more good would have come out of it. also because of him, less people are able to support a living wage. due to obamacare most businesses don't provide full time hours so they can avoid paying the extra fees. this created people to be dependent on government assistance or to hold 2 jobs, just to get enough to live off of. you seem to forget he had a democratic government when he first got in and still was unable to get things passed. it wasn't the republicans, he just didn't have good ideas.

also ask vets if that helped. they have waiting lists so long, many commit suicide before they are able to get any help. in the end, has any of this actually made any significant difference to society in a positive way? he has done far more bad, than good. we are still in war, we still have no budget, we still have overwhelming unemployment and we have more debt than ever in history. we have riots in the streets constantly because of his divisiveness. he feeds hatred. he has been horrible to this country. also if he was really wanting to keep the banks from screwing over the people, why has he never reinstated glass steagall?

in the end we will see what the history books will tell us in reflection. all of this doesn't matter because he is out in a few months. maybe this country will start to rebuild into a more loving country again. once these kids stop protesting democracy.
