Obama was a very lucky man for the Housing Bubble to burst when it did. First, it completely derailed McCain when his caimpaign was starting to gain momentum. Obama probably would of won anyway, but the bubble bursting was the last nail in the coffin for McCain.
Second, it allows Obama to claim credit for the recovery. It's just MHO that we would of had a recovery regardless of whether Obama or McCain won the election.

You can manipulate stats all you want. That doesn't change the fact that people have been suffering from Obama's policies.

The trade deals were bipartisan. They are a major reason we now have President Trump.

The glass is not full nor is it empty. Both sides use stats to show themselves in the best light and to demonize the other side.

Obamacare is mostly a success, and the GOP is scared to death to scrap it. Turns out their buttlove for free market health care solutions isn't very popular. Most Americans want people to have access to medical services they need regardless of bank balance. Most Conservatives have no problem with people dying because they can't afford medical care. They're just afraid to admit it.

True, but mostly is was the GOP and Conservatism that is at fault.

• The number of immigrants in the U.S. illegally has gone down — by 3.4 percent according to one independent estimate and by 9 percent according to another.
  
  
• The economy has added 9.7 million jobs.
  
  
• The unemployment rate has dropped below the historical norm.
  
  
• The buying power of the average worker’s weekly paycheck is up 4.2 percent.
  
  
• Corporate profits are running 144 percent higher and stock prices have soared.
  
  
• Federal debt has more than doubled, and annual deficits, after shrinking, are again on the rise.
  
  
• The number of people lacking health insurance has gone down by nearly 15 million.

Regardless the middle class was decimated under Obama, that's just a fact

If your other half brain were functioning, you'd see that the term "decimated" means ONE out of TEN. If that's the term you choose to use, then know that 90% of middle class Americans fared well.

People can't afford medical care now. Obamacare forced them to buy policies that have such high deductibles that they are useless. Not to mention providers have been pulling out of each state.

People are dying and will die and it will be because the democrats lied about Obamacare. It was designed to fail.

Grow up you tired old fool and stop trying to carry water for your boy. Obamacare is a massive fail that decimated hard working Americans. He couldn't break 3% GDP, 95 million out of the workforce, record numbers on assistance, our standing in the world was laughable, he divided this nation like not seen since the Civil War, the debt skyrocketed....that's not "faring well"...it's a colossal fail

 

[nat4900]

95 million out of the workforce,

let's see how dumb you are (although Hannity probably agrees with you).....

If we had 95 MILLION out of the workforce, then our unemployment rate (based on our current population and age ranges of workers) our unemployment rate is about 52%.....

What a dork......LOL
