Don't kill the messenger. This is the first time I have seen't it. 
You claim to have suffered so badly under Obama's administration for eight years ............So let me ask:
Gays and Lesbians can now marry and enjoy the benefits they had been deprived of. Has this caused your suffering?
When Obama took office, the Dow was 6,626. Now it is 19,875. Has this caused your suffering?
We had 82 straight months of private sector job growth - the longest streak in the history of the United States. Has this caused your suffering?
Especially considering where the economy was when he took over, an amazing 11.3 million new jobs were created under President Obama (far more than President Bush). Has this caused your suffering?
Obama has taken Unemployment from 10% down to 4.7%. Has this caused your suffering?
Homelessness among US Veterans has dropped by half. Has this caused your suffering?
Obama shut down the US secret overseas prisons. Has this caused your suffering?
President Obama has created a policy for the families of fallen soldiers to have their travel paid for to be there when remains are flown home. Has this caused your suffering?
We landed a rover on Mars. Has this caused your suffering?
He passed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Has this caused your suffering?
Uninsured adults has decreased to below 10%: 90% of adults are insured - an increase of 20 Million Adults. Has this caused your suffering?
People are now covered for pre-existing conditions. Has this caused your suffering?
Insurance Premiums increased an average of $4,677 from 2002-2008, an increase of 58% under Bush. The growth of these insurance premiums has gone up $4,145 – a slower rate of increase. Has this caused your suffering?
Obama added Billions of dollars to mental health care for our Veterans. Has this caused your suffering?
Consumer confidence has gone from 37.7 to 98.1 during Obama’s tenure. Has this caused your suffering?
He passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Has this caused your suffering?
His bi-annual Nuclear Summit convinced 16 countries to give up and destroy all their loose nuclear material so it could not be stolen. Has this caused your suffering?
He saved the US Auto industry. American cars sold at the beginning of his term were 10.4M and upon his exit 17.5M. Has this caused your suffering?
The deficit as a percentage of the GDP has gone from 9.8% to 3.2%. Has this caused your suffering?
The deficit itself was cut by $800 Billion Dollars. Has this caused your suffering?
Obama preserved the middle class tax cuts. Has this caused your suffering?
Obama banned solitary confinement for juveniles in federal prisons. Has this caused your suffering?
He signed Credit Card reform so that rates could not be raised without you being notified. Has this caused your suffering?
He outlawed Government contractors from discriminating against LGBT persons. Has this caused your suffering?
He doubled Pell Grants. Has this caused your suffering?
Abortion is down. Has this caused your suffering?
Violent crime is down. Has this caused your suffering?
He overturned the scientific ban on stem cell research. Has this caused your suffering?
He protected Net Neutrality. Has this caused your suffering?
Obamacare has extended the life of the Medicare insurance trust fund (will be solvent until 2030). Has this caused your suffering?
President Obama repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell. Has this caused your suffering?
He banned torture. Has this caused your suffering?
He negotiated with Syria to give up its chemical weapons and they were destroyed. Has this caused your suffering?
Solar and Wind Power are at an all time high. Has this caused your suffering?
High School Graduation rates hit 83% - an all time high. Has this caused your suffering?
Corporate profits are up by 144%. Has this caused your suffering?
He normalized relations with Cuba. Has this caused your suffering?
Reliance on foreign oil is at a 40 year low. Has this caused your suffering?
US Exports are up 28%. Has this caused your suffering?
He appointed the most diverse cabinet ever. Has this caused your suffering?
He reduced the number of troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Has this caused your suffering?
Yes, he killed Osama Bin Laden and retrieved all the documents in his possession for analysis. Perhaps THIS caused your suffering?
From an objective standpoint it would appear that the last eight years have seen some great progress and we were saved from a financial collapse. Things are not perfect. Things can always be better. We are on much better footing now than we were in 2008.
I look forward to understanding what caused you to suffer so much under Obama these last eight years."

So then cite every source
Some of it is already easily proven to be outright lies

ugh, I'm not answering all that shite.
My student loans are 2.75% more expensive than they were in 2008, and my health insurance deductible has increased from $250 to $3500 at a higher premium cost.
I don't really give a shite about much else.
Yes, yes it has.

Do you want him to do this for the purpose of poking holes in the good that Obama did accomplish while in office?
The problem I have with where I know this thread will go is there will be little to no moderation to how much this board will slander Obama. And it's ironic considering how much many around here lament the left's slandering of Trump.
We all look at the manner of politics between Reagan and Tip O'Neill, wishing for that civility in Washington to return, but we wall ourselves off in ideological gardens and don't want to hear anything from the other side. The truth is, without both sides finding a way to tame the rhetoric instead of ramping it up, we continue to set the stage for more visceral political dialogue.
I don't know how so many people can stay so mad so much of the time, it's so exhausting.

The amount of regulation on top of regulation put in by Obama certainly caused many of us to suffer. Companies now have to spend a shite ton of money to pay for rediculous things instead of raises.
One example: websites now have to have captions explaining images to blind people even if its just a stock image.
Avg cost to do this? 80k for a small corporate website. Rediculous. All so as a person can know that there is an image of two people having a conversation at a table etc...

Obama did little to none of that. A hamster could have been president and America would have recovered from the Recession, and possibly faster. It always has.

Legit gripes on solid examples.

I want him to do it because so much of it is BS to begin with. Example was the syrian bullet point provided.

----------------------------------------------------------
way too many to tear apart now so I will take this one apart, the US needs to add @320,000 new jobs monthly just to break even, so adding 11.3 million new LOW PAYING jobs in 8 years(96 months) IS STILL GOING BACKWARDS.

What year did Dodd Frank go into effect? 2010? How much in salary has that cost many millions of Americans?
