Outside of the gas comments since he has nothing tondo with gas prices. Please show evidence that is incorrect
A legend in his own mind. What a shame, but a fact, that half of what he's claiming is false (i.e. the national debt)!
Thank you young lady for being smart enough to know better. Keep up the fight.
I hate to cloud the issue with little tings like "facts" or evidence, but everything but the unemployment rate is factually true....DERP.
oh great narcissist in chief, show me the body
who thinks he cut unemployment by 50% has to be dumb the only reason unemployment went down is because the time you can draw benefits has expired and you are taken off the unemployment list making you think its down as far as gas. Gas has everything to do with price of oil he had nothing to do with it if he had something to do with the price he should of put a price freeze on the gas and stopped the oil co from gouging us my 401k don't agree with his tripled stock market its been a mess so anyone who believes this crap need to get there head out of the sand and wake up
Unemployment rate has been reduced by reducing the number of people available to work. Uninsured has not been reduced if you determine how much less we are all covered by insurance due to bigger deductibles. Gas was at 1.84 when he took office. He ended two wars but he sowed the seeds for a much larger war that will eventually wind up on our shores. If the deficit has been cut then why has the national debt doubled?
Keep drinking the koolaid!
Tripled the market by printing money that cant be backed up.
unemployment in half because most of the unemployed have dropped off the list due to no benefits so not reported anymore
did not end any wars simply left the countries to ISIS buddies
All he did is make even more people loose their insurance which made the number of insured by his baseless and underfunded plan look like ti was helping the already uninsured who for the most part remain that way
The deficit which is soley his now is the largest deficit we as a nation have ever had and is out of control. He has contributed to more jobs leaving this country than any other president.
4:38 you are blind
1:01 you need a reality check
You both are why we are in the fix we are in now.
GOD Bless AMERICA
Actually all that He did was defer the costs to insure those people onto the backs of all WORKING Americans. Not exactly a popular move btw. Further more the same people getting free insurance before are the same people getting free insurance now. Also the group that actually needs the break is the working poor. You know those people that understand and posses the quality of self reliance instead of being a leech on society? Yes, those people still can not afford insurance because instead of reducing the cost of insurance, Obama's move actual INCREASES the cost of insurance. This makes acquiring insurance by this group even more unattainable.
As far as ending two wars. They were never wars and we are still there. And withdrawing did nothing but destabilize the region increasing the magnitude of the problem. Now I understand the knee jerk reaction to withdrawal at any cost but that is a naive ideology that only a child would actually adhere to. World politics is not a game and you cant wipe the board clear and start over which is what Obama tried to do. You have to build off of what came before you for better or for worse. To bad we have nothing but a puppet for a president.
There is zero proof that Osama Bin Laden was killed by seal team six. So without proof its dubious news at best. You f-ing morons can just believe what you want but if they had actually gotten Osama they would be verifying the kill and posting acknowledgement all over the place. They would fall over each other to get it out there. So on that note I believe nothing of what I am told and only half of what I see.
The deficit is locked at 18 trillion, 3 times what it was under Bush, and has not moved for about 20 weeks. That means we can not buy more bonds and we are covering the difference by printing more money further eroding what your dollar is worth. Which brings me to the Stock Market. The stock Market is likely only following the inflationary trend. So by that metric your dollar is now worth about 3 times less than it was just 7 years ago.
Of course most people will read this and disregard it because they think they know better. But in reality they have not looked into any of this and they simply regurgitate what they read and hear.
Unfortunately, it's a losing battle. The democrats control the message on the big three dinosaur networks (cbs, abc & nbc) and the cable outlets of cnn & msnbc.
As a recovering former democrat who voted for Clinton twice and Al Gore (yes, I'm ashamed of that), I used to be under their spell, as is some the commenters on this thread who believe that stuff to be true.
Unfortunately, something really bad has to happen for the zombies to come out of their hypnotic state. As a former zombie, I can say that.
1) The stock market tripled because the Federal Reserve has held interest rates artificially low at .25% since 2009 while the Fed's balance sheet has gone from 900 billion in 2008 to 4 trillion in 2014.
2) The unemployment rate is so low because people are giving up on looking for work. For the numerate out there, the rate is declining because the denominator, the number of people actively seeking employment, is going down.
3) The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue and the Countries are more unstable today then when Obama took office. Obama pulled out the U.S. troops, but that does not equate to ending the wars.
4) The uninsured rate was cut in 1/2 through expanded Medicaid rolls, taxes on the uninsured, and increased costs for employers and those that can afford to pay for coverage. This was financed in no small measure by mandating benefits that not everyone needs while eliminating low-cost coverage choices, which benefits the large insurance companies.
5) Oil production, particularly in the U.S., is up because of technological advances. Crude oil prices, which account for approximately 70% of the price of gasoline, have fallen from $135 in 2008 to around $55 today. Obama has nothing to do with this.
6) It depends on whether you start from 2008 or 2009. In 2008, the year that Obama took over, the budget deficit was $458 billion. In 2014, the deficit was $483 billion. Furthermore, from 2009 - 2012, the deficits all topped $1 trillion. Last, and most importantly, a deficit is a deficit is a deficit. The 2014 U.S. budget was 3.8 trillion in spending against 3 trillion in revenue. If your household income is $30,000 and you're spending $38,000, you are going in the hole to the tune of 27% of your income in one year.
7) The U.S. Military got Bin Laden in spite of Obama, not because of him. What exactly did Obama have to do with it?
8) Obama "saved" General Motors by a totalitarian circumventing of the bankruptcy laws to the benefit of large union supporters and to the detriment of creditors.
9) According to Harvard, home ownership is at a 20% low, with blacks suffering the most.
10) Yes, yes Obama did oversee the expansion of marriage equality. But, he was against marriage equality before he was for it. He merely changed his opinion to match the change in attitudes evidenced by the poll numbers.
This is laughable - other posters have already proven these claims to be hogwash. Just a couple additional observations -
The market is undergoing a historic level of manipulation.
He didn't end 2 wars - he LOST 2 wars. Seizing defeat from the jaws of victory, etc.
He was playing golf at the time that the bin Laden raid was unfolding.
Gas would be lower if not for his meddling.
And my favorite - he cut the deficit by two-thirds. That's really irrelevant in the face of the fact that this buffoon has DOUBLED the federal debt.
One indisputable fact however - some folks are just born suckers.
Unemployment has down. There are more part time minimum wage earners today. These folks are lucky if the get twenty hours per week. Furthermore, they are still reaping the benefits of government assistance.
