Barack Obama Is Still Trying to Rewrite His Presidential Legacy

[Markle]

What country spends more on their military???

Is that what the DailyKOS or The Nation taught you to say? You do understand how foolish it is IF you think about it.

How does the pay rate differ between an American, Russian, or Chinese member of the military compare with each other?

How do the costs compare between manufacturing an American, Russian, or Chinese aircraft, ship, rocket, or whatever? Are you aware that Russia and China use slaves in manufacturing products?

Do you believe both China and Russia are honest about what they are doing and how much it costs?

Do you know that China includes all they spend on their rockets and missiles to be research and not included in their spending for their military?

Submarines. Do we know how many nuclear submarines China has and are building? Their subs are capable of Tomahawk style and ICBM type rockets. We don't know how many because they have a major sub base, built inside a mountain which can only be entered underwater. Thanks to President Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, China controls both ends of the greatly enlarged Panama Canal.

Are you aware that China has the largest fleet of container ships in the world? While counted as a commercial enterprise, they are all under control of the Red Army.

More?

The longer Trump is in office, the more fondly we remember Obama's presidency.

Sure, for those that work for the government or in a university. The voters in the swing states couldn't get rid of his legacy of failed economics fast enough.

Yet some of them elected democratic party governors 2 years later.

YEAH great having a president paying 25 million out in a fraud case with his bullshit University

Because we love our country. We don't want it destroyed by the likes of you & that fat assed moron Trump.

Queen dyke could have fixed everything. We would be in a war by now.

Based on what? War with whom?

Nah. Your right. She would have just given everyone whatever they wanted to line their pockets, and set her and pervy Bill up when she left office. And probably deplete the military further. She handled Benghazi so well. We would be targets for any country looking to get rid of us. You do remember 911.

Again, you have nothing to back your statements.

I see you are still sofa king stupid you blame Benghazi on Hillary.

I don’t need to back my statements. There is enough information that has been noted in detail by other Republicans, that you routinely dismiss. I did witness her responses and lack of caring about the Americans lost in Benghazi. That’s not the person needed to represent this country. We didn’t need Bill in for a third term.

The US can't defend against Russia's newest cruise missiles — so it may have to try offense instead

Gen. John Hyten of STRATCOM, the branch of the US military in control of nuclear forces, told the Seante Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that the US has no good defense against Russia's latest cruise missile. "We have no defense for it, especially in defense of our European allies," said Hyten, according to AFP. "That system can range and threaten most of the continent of Europe depending on where it is deployed. ... It is a concern and we're going to have to figure out how to deal with it as a nation."

But the US hasn't simply been surpassed by superior Russian missile technology. The Russian missiles in question violate the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), one of the most successful disarmament treaties of all time.

Essentially, the INF prevented the nuclearization of Europe in the 1980s. The new Russian cruise missiles can strike anywhere in Europe from Russia with a nuclear payload, according to experts who spoke with Business Insider.

However, defending against cruise missiles is extremely difficult, as they fly fast and close to the surface, meaning radars usually can't find them among the bumps and obstructions in the earth's terrain. Defending against cruise missiles across an entire continent would require airborne detection and tracking — a costly solution.

The so-called president has disregarded the norms for over two years now. Odd that the Trumpflakes still expect Trumpybear to be treated with the normal respect that used to be reserved for the President of the United States. Funny (in a WTF sort of way) actually.

Under Obama, we went from being #1 militarily to being #4. Go hide if you want to. I don't care.

What "norms" are you talking about? That he doesn't lay back and play dead while his detractors in Congress are getting pinnochios right and left by WaPo for lying their asses off? Ocasio-Cortez fact-checked for 'highly misleading' claim on Trump funding for opioid emergency

By what measure do you think we are only the 4th strongest military.

For starters his demeaning character assassinations throughout his campaign.

Character assassination? Look what Democrats tried to do to Kavanaugh!

Yes. Okay look at it and? Democrats were assholes too. How does that relate to Trumps campaign and his asshole-ish behavior towards the other GOP candidates from the very beginning? This of course is about the norms he has broken, not defending anything. Most presidential candidates would have been dropped like a hot rock if they said "look at that face!......".

But Donnie got excused.

There is no comparison. Democrats were worse, they smeared a good man with the power they hold as official representatives! Donnie just talked NY smack that was crude at times but not serious.

It was a senseless gesture on their part with no hope of succeeding. Since the Rule change the GOP only needed a simple majority. It made the Dem look more petty than anything else. Nobody in their right mind really cared that much about what he did as a teenager. I can't imagine somebody dredging up my......um never mind.

That episode did not make Dirty Don's foul mouth acceptable discourse in 2015, nor were his crude insults to his opponents lighthearted. He might even believe that they were, but many of his followers believe that the Press is really the "Enemy of the People" and all the other bullshit he has pushed.

That's President Obama to you, doll. And it's not nice to damn your former/present hero even if it is to get a rise out of your political opponents so as not to give way to your patronization of us..Ya big maroon.

I have thought it over since last night and decided that yep, we can defend against ICBMs. It's just that our military is better at playing the cat-and-mouse games with the Russians than can be acknowledged at this time for reasons of National Security. I could be mistaken, but that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

The total and complete failure of the Obama Presicency

"Obama’s presidency often seemed fueled by his ego and his enjoyment of the perks of the position. The Obama family frequently took lavish vacations, and Michelle Obama had a ridiculously large staff of aides. President Trump, however, donates his presidential salary, and his net worth has actually gone down since becoming president. Most importantly, Obama’s personal gain over his two terms stands in stark contrast to the millions of Americans who suffered under his policies."

"Obama also claimed he surrounded himself with people who disagreed with him -- and that's a huge whopper that even Obama loyalists don’t agree with. Former senior Obama adviser David Axelrod said this in 2013: “I think that there is an issue with what people told the president, and I think that there is an instinct to tell the president what he wants to hear.” Even Obama-loving Chris Matthews agreed that Obama thought he was right about everything because he only received advice from yes-men. “The fact that this president is getting advice from people that say, ‘You’re always right,’ is the problem. He’s got too many sycophants around him telling him, ‘All you have to keep doing is what you’re doing.'”"

Obama's legacy.....Barack Obama Is Still Trying To Rewrite His Presidential Legacy

Obama is a decent human being, Trump is an asshole.

Decent former US Presidents do not criticize their successors. President and Mrs. Obama have criticized President Trump over a dozen times. The reason it is unfair is that the former presidents do not have the same information that was furnished them during their stay, and most of them know decisions are made on aggressive events by a foreign government against the American people. It's not worth the risk for a former president to call up his buds on the press for an attack against a predecessor's character. Other former presidents know this and stick with the protocol of silence. Maybe being an American president didn't mean anything to President Obama, because an engaged American would contact him privately on disagreements if they were important enough.

P1, Unsupported by facts.

See this, Growth in DoD's Budget From 2000 to 2014 | Congressional Budget Office

and then post your alternative facts.

P2. How many people have died during the (faux) National Emergency trump declared, and how many people die every day by drug overdose?

Grow up, and stop lying.

We aren't #1? We have nuke power to blow the world up 3 x Who has more?

It really doesn't matter who has more, it's who has the quality technology.

The U.S. nuclear weapons system still runs on a 1970s-era computing system that uses 8-inch floppy disks, according to a newly released report from the Government Accountability Office.

That's right. It relies on memory storage that hasn't been commonly used since the 1980s.......

Report: U.S. Nuclear System Relies On Outdated Technology Such As Floppy Disks

Once again we can blame the Congress, which spends billions on weapons the military does not want, and not on something like what is reported on NPR.
