How typical of you, Billy to excuse the "underwhelming" Presidency of Barack Obama.
He made so many promises back in 2008...and has lived up to so few of them.
Uhhh....wait a minute. Obama kept or compromised 69% of his 500 or so promises. 110 promises were broken. 5 are stalled and 35 are in the works. In the next year and a half there is nothing keeping him from revisiting the 110 and doing something to make them happen. That is not a bad record considering the congress he has to go through.
You mean like becoming "The Most Transparent Administration in History", Nuhuh? Is that complete failure the fault of Congress? Should we expect this Administration to start leveling with us about Benghazi and the IRS scandals?
Or becoming the first "post racial" President? Is Obama's complete failure at that the fault of someone else as well?
He promised that he had solutions to unemployment and would hit the ground running to turn that around as soon as he was elected. Then he spent most of the next year pushing through ObamaCare...legislation that hurt job creation. Is that awful legislation the fault of the GOP?
Who ever said Obama was perfect? certainly not me. If Republicans can't carry out a dozen investigations and 50 hearings without repeatedly coming up with squat whose fault is that? Arguably employment is down to 5.3% if Obama were a Republican they would already be naming buildings after him.
Come on...get serious! The reason that Republican's have come up with "squat" when it attempts to investigate the Obama Administration is that the same people that promised us that they would be the most transparent administration in history is actually the most secretive in history and stonewalls investigations more than the Nixon White House!
As for unemployment numbers? Point out which policies of Barack Obama were responsible for lower unemployment? His administration gave us ObamaCare...which cost jobs...A LOT OF JOBS! He actively fought against the fracking that resulted in the oil and natural gas development that was responsible for a great deal of our economic growth during the past six years. The nonstop Quantitative Easing that seems to be this administration's ONLY response to a sluggish economy has put millions in the pockets of those Americans wealthy enough to play a resurgent stock market with virtually interest free borrowed money but that did nothing for the average American other than increase inflation. The truth, Nuhuh...is that if you took away the jobs that were created in GOP controlled and run States, employment numbers under this President would be abysmal.
Forgive me, all I have are facts to draw upon. If Republicans can't find a single misdemeanor in $20 million dollars worth of investigation, inquiry and probes, maybe you need some fresh blood taking care of your business on capitol hill. Further, guess what? no one is complaining about jobs except Republicans. The Democratic base is gainfully employed and happy, home ownership is up, the stock market is up, the future looks brighter under Obama than it ever did under any Bush. Could things be better? things can always be better, I don't think we have ever experienced financial or security nirvana, maybe some day we will and if we do, you can be sure it will be at the table of a Democratic president.
