Nope, the low bar was what you had for the kenyan messiah. For the first time in generations, we have a president who is actually doing the JOB of president, and the majority of americans are smart enough to see that.
Obama was the 2nd worst president ever and the best you Trump worshipers can say about Trump is that he is better than Obama.
That is like saying someone was a better QB than Ryan Leaf...it is not really a compliment

Why was Obama so bad?
Almost everyone I know made back the millions in investments they lost under GW.
Perhaps you have heard of this thing called “ObamaCare”... which fucked up the system even more than it was.

I have asked dozens of people in the Health field how the ACA affected them...
Catching up with Case Management took an average of 3 years; it never should have been so far behind.
Purchasing approved instruments was a 3 year write-off; I helped them wipe off their crocodile tears.
Being forced to go full electronic meant no more cheating on CPTs and IDC10s; more tears.
Less than 10% of claims are rejected vs over 50%.
Physicians can now see more than 25 patients a day and they make more money by sacrificing their personal lives.
The ACA, like all bills, has lots of earmarks for God knows what.
What’s truly bad?
It was passed under a Black President.
My physicians can no longer provide free services for people who cannot afford health insurance.
What’s neutral?
The scumbag GE caused massive unemployment and people lost their Health Insurance.
And yes, I know way more MDs than you.
I happen to be married to a RN who works as a floor nurse on a critical care floor. She and her fellow nurses have seen the damage done first hand.
First off, the burdensome regulations are killing smaller, rural hospitals. They are either closing or in the case of my wife's hospital being forced to "affiliate" with larger hospitals/medical companies.
Then to cut cost nurse-to-patient ratios keep going up, meaning worse care and more chance for critical mistakes.
Then there is the stupid idea to tie reimbursement rates to HCAHPS, or patient satisfaction. The thing many of those outside of the medical world fail understand is very often what is good for the patient does not make them happy. The 300 pound non-compliant diabetic that gets pissed because they will not let him eat the pizza he ordered from Domino's does not give them a good rating, even though it was the right thing for them to do. This is forcing hospitals to care more about HCAHPS than medical care, and that is fucked up.
Then if someone is admitted for chest pains and then tells the nurse/doctor "and I have this really bad pain in my back", the can do nothing but give pain meds, they cannot treat it since it was not what they were admitted for. The patient would have to leave and come back a 2nd time if they needed it cared for.
Oh, and then hospitals get punished for readmission even if the person did not follow a single thing they were told to do when they were discharged.
And yes, I know way more RNs than you.
