Game, Set, Match (WaPo's Grab Them By The Pussy Tape)

Just in case Trump hasn't pissed off the Mexican government or Hispanic people enough, he has blamed (get ready for it) gazillionaire Carlos Slim for being responsible for the Access Hollywood leak and what has happened since.

I wonder how many tinfoil hats Don the Con has.
 
Seems strange that someone who is almost uniquely unqualified to be president currently has a 57% approval rating according to Fox News polling.

I heard somewhere (maybe BS podcast?, or probably even a couple places) that this election was the best thing that ever happened to Obama. After seeing Trump and Hillary go at it, it's like "hey you know you're actually not so bad want to stay around a while?"

Because he hasn't done anything of substance in years. He set the bar so low for himself at the beginning that there is nowhere to go but up. He is like Ron Wellman post-[Redacted]; sandbag it so much for so long that abject mediocrity is then viewed as success.

At the risk of debating with you (sigh), it's virtually impossible to get anything done with the gridlock in Congress.

and seriously, the comparison between Barack Obama and Ron Wellman is just so far off that it's not even worth mentioning outside the fact that I want to note how tremendously stupid the comparison is.

BUT he turned losing 750,000 private sector kjobs per month when he took over into adding over 200,000 private sector jobs per month

He turned a -8.7% GDP into a +2% GDP, not great but better than most of our western partners

Equity markets have doubled

20M people have insurance who didn't

He sad the US Auto industry when the GOP voted against it. How many millions of jobs would have been lost if had listened to the GOP rather than Obama?

These alone make him a good POTUS but are nothing to 2&2

Big, if true.

Well he certainly wasn't solely responsible for it, and you should probably argue (I would argue that it's well outside what the POTUS does) that he should not take credit for a lot of the job growth, but the numbers are very close to what happened, and that's not really irrefutable unless you don't "believe" in statistics.

He got plenty done before the gridlock in Congress. However, all of it sucked ass and resulted in said gridlock in Congress. You can't blame a problem that he himself directly caused as a reason for his lack of success.

I mean you think it's Obama's fault that Donald Trump won the Republican nominee for President. Which, on a board full of dumb and stupid posts, may take the cake for the dumbest and stupidest post. You don't mean that because Obama, a black, successful male, won the Presidency that it threatened a lot of older voters who are not content about how the world is passing them by in favor of a younger, more diverse, generation. You literally mean that Barack Obama is at fault for the racial divide in this country and that caused voters to (rightly and necessarily) vote in Donald Trump, a candidate running on xenophobic, sexist, MAGA platforms as a major party candidate.

Sorry that my opinion of any of your thoughts on Barack Obama are anything less than completely blinded by hatred and dislike for him.

Someday soon we'll all have universal health care and this childish foot stomping will have all been for naught.

It's going to fucking blow a lot of people's minds on here how Obama will be looked back on historically, especially after he is praised as a champion for the health care system we implement in the future.

The current health care system irrefutably has a lot of issues, but it will be looked back on as the movement that got health care moving to where it will inevitably be.

Not really, as Obamacare has set back any likelihood of universal healthcare for several generations. We may get there, but it will be in spite of this shitshow, not because of it.

Nope, I liked the hip hop back then. My tastes had not yet matured, and I was young and stupid, much like yourself.

hip hop is a unique example as the whole genre fell off somewhere between 2000-2005. if hip hop was what it used to be perhaps you'd still listen.
