"THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY." BARACK OBUBBA
When it's over we will have had 16 years of very bad leadership in Washington. You Fucktards can continue to debate who is the tallest midget in the circus, but The fact is Bush and congress had the ship headed to the rocks, Obama and congress pushed down on the throttle.

The throttle was stuck when Obama took over. Republicans are doing all they can to keep this country stuck on Gilligan's Island, minus Ginger and Mary Ann.

Good Christ. It's Bush's/Rebublicans fault. Partisan hack.
Obama has done more or less what he said he was going to do, which was to end Bush's devastatingly stupid wars, re-establish America as a respectable force in world affairs, orate in complete sentences so as not embarrass the nation on the international stage at every turn, shift the race discussion to the next level, enact at least some modest education reform, protect women's rights, defend the middle class, slap back the GOP's toxic plot to rule American politics for the next 75 years and usher in an impossibly variegated, increasingly messy era of barely controlled, women-empowered, multicultural chaos in which old, fear-soaked white men no longer control every election, industry, media, cultural discussion, power source and hunk of propaganda in the nation.
And how about the Affordable Care Act? So horribly mismanaged, watered down, blocked, lied about and spit upon that it's almost impossible to tell that it's a pretty good law overall, one that will reverberate for years and benefit millions, despite the raging lies and laughable rhetoric of the right. Word.
Another thing: When Obama took office, the Dow was a desolate, gut-wrenching 800 points and plummeting like a suicidal eagle. Every pundit from the Wall Street Journal to the Economist declared that America's unprecedented combination of a failed war, brutal housing crisis, recession, auto industry collapse and manufacturing exodus was a perfect storm of economic cataclysm that would take at least 20 years to fix, if that. Obama said he'd do most of it in four. Maybe five.
Behold. Both the Dow and S&P 500 have reached record highs. In just five short years, the economy, while maybe not exactly "booming," has more than fully recovered in nearly every category. The auto industry is flourishing anew. There's also 1.5 million new jobs, and unemployment has steadily dropped to a slightly more reasonable seven percent.
In short, the guy accomplished the unimaginable. We are now as stable and strong as can be for a fractured, deeply corrupt, post-9/11 nation on the verge of perpetual economic and environmental apocalypse. Miraculous? Damn straight.
One final FACT: 9/11 happened under Bush's watch, despite intelligence that was available to him that an attack was immanent. I'm sure he wanted the attack to happen so that he can start a war with Iraq. Then not long after Obama took office, Osama was taken out and now swims with the fishes.

Why do people like you hate this president so much? I understand the usual partisan attitudes, how one party doesn't like to see the other in the White House. Sure. I can understand why people are angered by wars we get sucked into by false arguments. You can count me in on that one. But what's the Obama hatred all about? Republicans had their chance to modify the health care plan, it was they who decided to sit back and let the Democrats do it all alone. Ask Senators Enzi and Hatch and the others why they dropped out of the bargaining, and let the Democrats in the Senate come up with the 60 votes they needed by themselves. Ask Speaker Boehner why he didn't want to negotiate a different program. Of course, everyone would have been happier to have a health care bill passed by 70 percent of the Congress rather than a narrow partisan majority. But whose fault was that?
And all this other stuff, the obscure IRS story that's not gotten tied to any of the Obama political people. The Benghazi brouhaha that was discredited by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee that basically squared the Obama claims with the evidence showing it really was a spontaneous attack probably triggered by a Cairo attack and that dumb anti-Islamic movie out of Los Angeles. I get the sense that the Obama hatred is hatred in search of a reason? Whatever comes along, like the CBO report becomes another way to find a way to explain hating the guy. Is it the way the guy lives his life? Is it his family? Is that he's a Democrat, really? Is that the reason to hate him? Or is it just because, just because, just because he is who he is?
The TP-Paul Ryan-Ted Cruz wave of R's have no alternative other than "let states compete with each other."
Because after all, that 3.6% increase on cap. gains tax "Obamacare" put into effect will really cripple their one percenter masters (it will still only be 18.6%, which just still probably lower than any other industrialized country).
Who the fuck cares about politics and which president was worse? They are all corrupt, egomaniacs who have to do whatever the banking, oil, and pharmaceutical industries tell them to do. They have so many hands up their asses directing their every move. I truly feel like it is impossible to become president without being a shady piece of shit.
