Well we are all dealing with the repercussions from him, specifically the appeasement of North Korea that now has the US on the brink of war more so than it has since the Cuban missile crisis.

I mean, yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that: 1. He blatantly lied about what it would do and 2. Even Democrats acknowledge that it is unsustainable.

I will give him that. Although UBL was living in anonymity in Pakistan and al Qaeda had already given way to ISIS.

Depends on who's asking. For the fascist establishment that run this country, he did wonders. Probably even better than Bush, but it's close.

Trump is off to a good start himself. We'll see how much his attempts can further the establishment agenda.

I think the ACA will be around for a while. not in its current form, but he laid the foundation and did the heavy lifting. I could be wrong. I have been before.

He inherited an economy losing about 900k jobs a month and with a double digit unemployment rate and by the time he left office he'd achieved a record 75 consecutive months of job growth and gotten unemployment down to 4.7%.

It's insane that you still try to pass yourself off as a Republican of some sort

"he inherited an economy" =/= "blaming Bush." I like how sensitive you guys are to this, though.

This is always such a misleading stat.

Here's a fact, while many people DID drop off the unemployment roles from 20010is to 2016 , the number of people who signed up for social security disability shot through the roof.

So it's pretty clear that many of these people simply stopped looking for work and stopped collecting unemployement (which is of course how the government tracks unemployement) and signed up for SSI instead.

They still are not working , they are just collecting welfare instead of unemployment .
