Republicans will scream LIAR LIAR LIAR. But if they can only agree he did three things that helped the majority of Americans, then that's three more than the GOP under Bush or Trump.
But what did Obama do for the important people in the U.S.?
Did he give them a massive tax cut? No!
Did he deregulate Wall Street so the important people could screw small investors? NO!
Did he do anything to permanently increase CEO's quarterly bonuses? NO!
Go ahead, name one single item Obama did to help the important people of the U.S. You can't, because Obama only did things that hurt the poor, oppressed 0.1%.
.
Did he give them a massive tax cut? No! - Bush did that with the Bush Tax Cuts which Republicans blackmailed Obama into extending:
Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says
Did he deregulate Wall Street so the important people could screw small investors? NO! - Bush and the GOP did that. It's what led to Economic meltdown under Bush.
Did he do anything to permanently increase CEO's quarterly bonuses? NO! - Why bother after giving them enormous tax cuts?
To me, the rest of America is more important than a few thousand billionaires. It's sad you don't feel that way.

My response to your post was...satirical. The "important people" mentioned are important to themselves, the GOP, (a few a$$-kissing congressional Democrats), and conservatives.
Obama's goals were to help average Americans, not serve the needs of the over-privileged.
His goals, and the fact that he is African-American and a Democrat, are the reasons conservatives hate his guts, and would rather die than accept universal healthcare from a black man.
.
He never helped anyone , he got in the fucking way..
Got in the way of Republican tax cuts for billionaires?
Come on, admit it. Republicans don't help the poor or the middle class in this country.
Once again, if democrats cared about the working man , I would still live in the Chicago area..not working with dumb ass rednecks and eating crap food..i would be eating at protillos..
