The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.”
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting groundbreaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns.
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: may we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more exactly like it.
how do you explain how california has gone from were they were at one time to now?...go ahead tell me how the republicans have done that....Right on cue...Right because presidents are mighty kings in America and are the only ones responsible for everything good and bad in this country.
More excuses.

Republicans can't handle their record of abysmal failure. GOP sheep have nightmares over the failed GOP record, and deny it at all costs. Everything is always somebody else's fault... Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Obama, China, Iran, the media, etc etc
The GOP is the party of blame everybody else.
Both Trump and Bush left/leave the white house in disgrace, passing off a country much worse off than when they took over.
Both Clinton and Obama left the white house with success, passing off a country much better than when they took over.
Clinton and Obama were much more successful presidents than Bush and Trump, and that is just the truth whether you like it or not.

16 things Hillary Clinton blames for her election loss
She blames herself, TV coverage, James Comey, the DNC, and more.
Here are the 16 reasons Hillary says she lost:
- Herself: In her book, Hillary blames her "damn emails," her remarks about putting coal miners out of business, and calling Trump's supporters "deplorable."
- Russia: "What Putin wanted to do was...influence our election, and he's not exactly fond of strong women, so you add that together and that's pretty much what it means."
- The DNC: "I'm now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. It was bankrupt...I had to inject money into it - the DNC - to keep it going."
- Sexism and misogyny: "Sexism and misogyny played a role in the 2016 presidential election. Exhibit A is that the flagrantly sexist candidate won."
- A Democratic predecessor: "It's really difficult to succeed a president of your own party who has served two terms. That is a historical fact."
- Bernie Sanders: "His attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' campaign."
- Wikileaks: "The comey letter, aided to great measure by the Russian WikiLeaks, raised...doubts again. And so even though I won the popular vote, enough people in a few states...were just raising all these questions."
- Her "traditional" campaign: "I was running a traditional presidential campaign...while Trump was running a reality TV show that expertly and relentlessly stoked Americans' anger and resentment."
- The debate questions, not being asked "how the candidates planned to create jobs": "I was waiting for the moment when one of the people asking the questions would have said, 'Well, so, exactly how are you going to create more jobs?'"
- Political journalists: "[Journalists] can't bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump, from providing him free airtime to giving my emails three times more coverage than all the issues affecting people's lives combined."
- Campaign financing: "You had Citizens United come to its full fruition. So unaccountable money flowing in against me, against other Democrats, in a way that we hadn't seen and then attached to this weaponized information war."
- President Obama: "I do wonder sometimes about what would have happened if President Obama had made a televised address to the nation...warning that our democracy was under attack. Maybe more Americans would have woken up to the threat in time."
- TV coverage of the campaign: "When you have a presidential campaign and the total number of minutes on TV news...was 32 minutes, I don't blame voters. Voters are going to hear what they hear...and if they don't get a broad base of information to make judgements on."
- Low-information voters: "You put yourself in the position of a low-information voter, and all of a sudden your Facebook feed, your Twitter account is saying, 'Oh my gosh, Hillary Clinton is running a child trafficking operation in Washington with John Podesta.'"
- Women under pressure from men: "They will be under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for 'the girl.'"
- James Comey: "The determining factor was the intervention by Comey on October 28...but for that intervention, I would have won."
And you had to cheat to win this time.

Here's something to keep you up at night, as well as can be a fun "what if" game to play.........................what if Trump had inherited the failures of Jr.? Think this country would still be standing?

"Obozo" as you call Obama was actually a success. Jr. had sent the country into a debt toilet and Obama pulled us out of it. Ever heard of the "bikini graph"? We were losing jobs at a high rate of speed thanks to Jr., but Obama helped to stop it, and actually helped it to get better. All Trump had to do was nothing and he would have been okay, but he tried to put his stamp on it and screwed the whole thing up.

And Obama's 8 years were years of fraud, waste, abuse, aiding terrorists and abuse of human rights all wrapped in a stagnant economy that his policies caused. Trying to rewrite history does not change this---some of us remember the real history.
Obama inherited a total disaster and passed off a solid country/economy, and the numbers prove it (GDP and job growth)
Trump just ramped up spending and deficits both before and after Covid, and Trump is passing off a country substantially weaker and worse off than what he inherited form Obama.
Here's something to keep you up at night, as well as can be a fun "what if" game to play.........................what if Trump had inherited the failures of Jr.? Think this country would still be standing?
Obama inherited a mess................Trump inherited a success that he somehow turned into failure. Yes, I agree with you, Trump has been the worst disaster this country has seen in a president.
Yeah I’m no Trump fan, but by most metrics Obozo was a failure
"Obozo" as you call Obama was actually a success. Jr. had sent the country into a debt toilet and Obama pulled us out of it. Ever heard of the "bikini graph"? We were losing jobs at a high rate of speed thanks to Jr., but Obama helped to stop it, and actually helped it to get better. All Trump had to do was nothing and he would have been okay, but he tried to put his stamp on it and screwed the whole thing up.
^^^^^^Or, it that just you being stupid?
^^^^^^^^

Excuses?.
AHAHAHAH!!!!Clearly the Democrats have done the same exact thing they pulled on Bush....causing an economic downturn by hook or by crook.-Bill Parcels
Republicans can't handle their record of abysmal failure. GOP sheep have nightmares over the failed GOP record, and deny it at all costs. Everything is always somebody else's fault... Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Obama, China, Iran, the media, etc etc
The GOP is the party of blame everybody else.
Both Trump and Bush left/leave the white house in disgrace, passing off a country much worse off than when they took over.
Both Clinton and Obama left the white house with success, passing off a country much better than when they took over.
Clinton and Obama were much more successful presidents than Bush and Trump, and that is just the truth whether you like it or not.
You are what your record says you are...

In 2006 it was thru ridiculous government regulations in the banking industry. This time...it was a pandemic created by their friends in the media.
The party of excuses. All you have is excuses for failure, nothing more.
If the GOP could run the country as well as they can make pathetic excuses for their failed record, then we would be in a Clinton era golden age!
Shit!!!!!LOL~!!!!!
You folks have been making excuses for over 4 years.
16 things Hillary Clinton blames for her election loss
She blames herself, TV coverage, James Comey, the DNC, and more.
Here are the 16 reasons Hillary says she lost:
- Herself: In her book, Hillary blames her "damn emails," her remarks about putting coal miners out of business, and calling Trump's supporters "deplorable."
- Russia: "What Putin wanted to do was...influence our election, and he's not exactly fond of strong women, so you add that together and that's pretty much what it means."
- The DNC: "I'm now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. It was bankrupt...I had to inject money into it - the DNC - to keep it going."
- Sexism and misogyny: "Sexism and misogyny played a role in the 2016 presidential election. Exhibit A is that the flagrantly sexist candidate won."
- A Democratic predecessor: "It's really difficult to succeed a president of your own party who has served two terms. That is a historical fact."
- Bernie Sanders: "His attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' campaign."
- Wikileaks: "The comey letter, aided to great measure by the Russian WikiLeaks, raised...doubts again. And so even though I won the popular vote, enough people in a few states...were just raising all these questions."
- Her "traditional" campaign: "I was running a traditional presidential campaign...while Trump was running a reality TV show that expertly and relentlessly stoked Americans' anger and resentment."
- The debate questions, not being asked "how the candidates planned to create jobs": "I was waiting for the moment when one of the people asking the questions would have said, 'Well, so, exactly how are you going to create more jobs?'"
- Political journalists: "[Journalists] can't bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump, from providing him free airtime to giving my emails three times more coverage than all the issues affecting people's lives combined."
- Campaign financing: "You had Citizens United come to its full fruition. So unaccountable money flowing in against me, against other Democrats, in a way that we hadn't seen and then attached to this weaponized information war."
- President Obama: "I do wonder sometimes about what would have happened if President Obama had made a televised address to the nation...warning that our democracy was under attack. Maybe more Americans would have woken up to the threat in time."
- TV coverage of the campaign: "When you have a presidential campaign and the total number of minutes on TV news...was 32 minutes, I don't blame voters. Voters are going to hear what they hear...and if they don't get a broad base of information to make judgements on."
- Low-information voters: "You put yourself in the position of a low-information voter, and all of a sudden your Facebook feed, your Twitter account is saying, 'Oh my gosh, Hillary Clinton is running a child trafficking operation in Washington with John Podesta.'"
- Women under pressure from men: "They will be under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for 'the girl.'"
- James Comey: "The determining factor was the intervention by Comey on October 28...but for that intervention, I would have won."
And you had to cheat to win this time.
WAAAAAAAA WAAAAAA!!!!! mommy they cheated. Another pathetic excuse.
I never hear anybody besides HRC, making excuses for her failure to beat trump. Any HRC excuses pail in magnitude to the repeated crybaby excuses from the GOP for their massive failure.
Complete and total abysmal failure. Bush and Trump are 2 of the biggest failures in the history of world leaders.
You are what your record says you are, and the GOP record is absolute failure.
And your record is a criminal record.
You can cry all you want, but it is still a record that is substantially better than Bush or Trump.
As bad as Obama was, he was still substantially better than Bush or Trump.
