Do you not support Israel?

Agree’d. He had a silver tongue, & promised a whole lot of change, albeit, like you said, only really delivered on the social side of things. Something I’ve noticed a lot of low-information voters on the left don’t really want to openly admit.


very well said. it's no surprise either, given his coalition of minorities and college-educated whites. the minority pillar of his coalition was benefitting the most from the social changes, and the college-educated (read: rich) white liberals were less affected by the economic turmoil and cared more about the morals, the environmental regulations and the feel-good rhetoric than about jobs or security.

I’m giving his basic legacy. There’s great and there’s not so great, as is with most presidents.
It doesn’t make sense to say he did absolutely nothing while “sitting on his black ass.”

The economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm.
Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 4.0 percent after inflation. The gain was 3.7 percent for just production and nonsupervisory employees.
After-tax corporate profits also set records, as did stock prices. The S&P 500 index rose 166 percent.
The number of people lacking health insurance dropped by 15 million. Premiums rose, but more slowly than before.
The federal debt owed to the public rose 128 percent. Deficits were rising as Obama departed.
Home prices rose 20 percent. But the home ownership rate hit the lowest point in half a century.
Illegal immigration declined: The Border Patrol caught 35 percent fewer people trying to get into the U.S. from Mexico.
Wind and solar power increased 369 percent. Coal production declined 38 percent. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel dropped 11 percent.
Production of handguns rose 192 percent, to a record level.
The murder rate dropped to the lowest on record in 2014, then rose and finished at the same rate as when Obama took office.


Bold isn't even remotely true.
