Income almost tripled. More to do with natural progression in my field, but ita hard to complain given my circumstances.

The only benefit I can think of is the emotional satisfaction I've gotten of seeing the unbelievable amoumt of damage he's done to the Democrat party.

That's why trump is in office?

Caved on many issues? They blocked over 500 bills.

Didn't care about congress? They stated on day one they would vote NO on any legislation he proposed. Bush has more executive orders than Obama. Don't act like he did some crazy maneuvers that no president has ever done.

The University of Alabama has entered a new golden era under President Obama.

Also, the unity and comradery we had as a country pre-Trump was nice.

Still learning about how bad that GOP congress was huh?

Do you ever talk about the many Bills that never made it to Obama because of Reid?

Do you ever talk about the super majority Obama had his first two years in office and didn't address any of the issues dear to the liberal hearts other than the shitty ACA?

You have a lot to learn about son. Let me know when you catch up.

Mine too...but that was because I made the effort to make myself more marketable in a more lucrative field. Obama didn't help this. Unless you consider the motivation of being laid off in 2009 as an Obama-induced benefit.
Not saying you have to credit Obama with anything, but you were laid off in a horrible economy in 2009 and are now making double what you made in 2008. Sounds like the Obama years were pretty good for you.

Only benefit I personally have from his term is being able to keep my kids on my insurance longer. His policies have hampered the industry I work for a great deal.

I don't know why you got the down votes you did.

As for me my wages have froze while healthcare cost are killing me.

I have less income adjusted for inflation than I did 8 years ago.

I'll say again the #1 reason I did not want BHO was the ACA and its kicked my arse as I thought it would.

Yeah, ask all those low income people who got jacked for higher used car prices after the cash for clunkers program was implemented, I don't think they liked that program at all.
