Good post...all true...
Also saved the US financial system...and stabilised world finances...
Saved millions of jobs in and related to US Auto industry...
Pity Clinton didn't use these in her campaign...over and over again in her campaign...focused too much on Trump personality and unfit for president...
Facts of Obama's successes could have won more votes...

The thing about Obama is that he refused to compromise. After being elected he said that those on the other side who were now looking to work with him had to sit, 'at the back of the bus'. He was triumphalist and his triumphalism came back to bite him on the arse when he needed the House to work with him.
A leader brings different people together, he didn't, he wrought division.
And that's from someone who wanted him elected in the first place and was happy when he won.

You know what they say about black men.
Bit shallow to include that in his list of accomplishments though.

Let get this out in the open:
First off he is Black! And for quite a few on here that is reason enough to slate the guy. I mean WTF an educated, charismatic, well-spoken black man in the White house. What the world coming too, and to top it all his misses has some brains as well. I mean Bush! Trump or Obama who would you really want in your corner if the world was on the brink?
Yeah I know
The Tea Party has spent 100's of Millions of dollars trying to stop everything he has tried to do, with a dis-information campaign on a scale that no other president has faced.
Congress has blocked him at every turn look at the voting records during his terms; talk about cut your nose off to spite your face.
But yet he has achieved quite a bit, take a look at 13 that should make you happy:
1. We've now had 78 straight months of economic expansion
2. We are currently enjoying the longest period of private sector job creation in American history.
3. Unemployment has dropped from 10.1% in October of 2009 to 4.9% by early 2016.
4. The stock market continues to set new record highs since President Obama took office.5. The Federal budget deficit is shrinking. It's been reduced by two-thirds since 2009.
6. Under President Obama, government spending has increased only 3.3% annually, the lowest rate since Eisenhower was president.
7. For 95% of American taxpayers, income taxes are as low or lower than they were at almost any point in the last 50 years.
8. Dependence on foreign oil has shrunk due to record domestic oil production and improved fuel efficiency standards.
9. At least 18 million more Americans now have health insurance than before.
10. The Affordable Care Act has added years to the life of Medicare.
11. Since passage of the Affordable Care Act, we are seeing the slowest rate of increase in healthcare costs since 1960.
12. We currently have fewer soldiers, sailors, and airmen in war zones than we did at any time in the last 12 years.
13. We now successfully catch and deport more illegal immigrants than ever before.
Is he the best president ever No but come on credit where it is due, yeah I know too long and I am a cunt

The man could have been a brilliant Politician but was not allowed to do anything, even when he wanted to put a bill through that would give health care to the first responders of 9/11 the Republicunts blocked him out of spite, although they gave in in 2015 five years after the bill was first formed to be passed.
If you search bills blocked by Republicans Obama in Google, it is pathetic and embarrassing check it out.

Obama care badly implemented...lied about...over sold and expensive for most. Good for poor and sick...nit for the rest
Of course it 'isn't good' for people who are healthy but you need healthy people to contribute to cover the sick. This is where the system got fucked. If you could get away with it youD only pay for insurance in years you knew you were going to be sick.

Apart from owing his presidency to the insurance industry he always seemed as genuine as you might get from someone that wants to be king.
In the end just another puppet trying to keep the great satan together.
