Reagan's standard was "are you better off than you were four years ago?" If you can't say that you're better off now than when Obama took office, then frankly you're a loser.

You know you're desperate for ammo when you're evidence are such esteemed Economic indicators such as student loans and labor participation.

People who aren't satisfied with the state and stability of the economy as it is now are greedy and entitled, it's pretty damn good compared to the rest of this century and compared to the rest of the world.

honestly, he really did well at likability, but if he had really improved things like the snowflakes on this site think, then we wouldn't have:
35 state governorsips under republican control; 34 state legislatures owned by the repubs; a republican senate; a republican house; And PRESIDENT TRUMP tO YOU SNOWFLAKE--ready to appoint a supermajority of supremes.
It's called the SCOREBOARD MOThaFucka! Superbowl is over and it's republicans 45, democrats 10.

Good one.
it's true. His approval ratings are almost historically good for a president at the end of his second term. obviously he is hated by many, but to the extent that we can know anything about this, all the statistical and quantitative evidence indicates he is remarkably well liked.
in some ways this isn't hard to understand- he is a superb public speaker, makes excellent speeches and is personable and charismatic with a silver tongue and obvious intelligence.
those qualities make him well liked even by many who don't support his party or his policies or who don't agree with his actions.

Lowest common denominator? 10 men jump off a bridge. The first guy jumps off a 110 foot bridge. The last guy jumps off a 20 foot bridge. He by measurement of factor of least common failure must be a pretty good guy.
It's true though because of economic policy the hard work of people that actually get up and do shit this is still a country with an extremely high standard of living. Unless you live in Compton. Otherwise if you are elite this place is great you just can't beat it

Yet, Obama voters are the same people who got Trump elected, please explain that reality.
Why would Obama voters switch to such a different candidate if he was so "popular" according to the bullshit polls you believe in today? What you're suggesting does NOT add up at all.

Obama did an excellent job of turning everything republican! 
The truth is, you have to be president of ALL the people. You just can't back thugs, then go drink 300$ a bottle fine wine with the elites at marthas vineyard and pretend your for the little guy.
That fucking turd doesn't float with the average joe, and obviously it didn't float with the working man given the results of the last election.

I think Obama did better than people say, he inherited an economy that was bound and determined to fail.
He didn't creat the mess, he was just left to clean it up

What a bullshit cop-out. 'IT ISN'T MY FAULT' If he would have had a clue he would have turned it around, and we'd have hillary as president. After all, he had 8 years to make good. 1% growth in gDP? Big fucking deal.

Obama didn't fix a damn thing. He just prolonged the inevitable. Look at the bond markets right now.

Well, this is the truth. Nothing has been fixed, in fact the risks are now even larger. Trump is going to have a crisis on his hands at some point in his term.
Did Obama buy us 8 years of time? Yes, but payback is going to be a bitch.

Bill_Oreilly said: So im just curious if you guys think Obama did a good job while he was president. Please dont be biased. i am curious and would like honest opinions. If he didnt do a good job, tell me why
as an establishment politician he didn't do as bad as he could have. I consider him to have done many bad things but realistically, so has every president in recent history. A lot of what he wanted to do he simply couldn't, but what I take issue with is stuff like his stance on whistle-blowers, his overseas involvements, his allowing of numerous drone strikes and other questionable military activities in general.

Well considering about a third of the country hated him due to his name, skin pigmentation, and place of birth, I would say he did pretty good.
Just imagine if you had to serve in that position for a country full of old racist fucks. I would have killed a few in 8 years....as far as I know, he didn't.
