And by the way, Barb, maybe you should learn what a strawman argument is before you go and make a bigger fool of yourself than you did in your post.
Here... the definition of strawman argument:
Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is an even simpler (you seem to need simple) definition.

Now, read my post (or better yet) have someone else read it to you and show me where I misrepresented anything you said... anything at all.
I did not attack your argument, because one did not exist. You made a stupid comment that there were things that were not done that you did not like. Well, duh! there were things that were not done that all of us did not like!
You did in fact say that there were things that were not done that you did not like. That was not an argument. I was not refuting an argument.
I simply asked you, if there was anything that was done that you did not like.
I did not misrepresent your statement at all. You said it, I asked a question about it
I then gave examples of things that were not done by the Obama admin that hopefully all of us do not like. I didn't say those were things you didn't like about it. I only gave examples. Are you thinking that you would approve of America adopting a one child per couple policy? Are you in favor of invading Israel? I won't ask if you're in favor of America becoming socialist, your posts are evidence of that already.
Study up about strawmen arguments. It will do you good.

Here... the definition of strawman argument:
A straw man, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4]

The author attacks an argument which is different from, and usually weaker than, the opposition's best argument.
