Name one policy that Obama initiated that pulled us out of the "deepest financial crisis in recent history" that wasn't already in place by the time he took office?brukuns said:Do you guys have a MEME showing how Obama took office during the deepest financial crisis in recent history, and turned it around making the US the strongest economy in the world once again? What a loser right?
Sorry, I don't get the hate towards Obama... US is doing great while the world is in the shitter, I guess people just have too much free time to criticize. Carry on.
I'm not getting into an argument because I don't have enough information (not living in the US and not watching US news and all). But, in my humble opinion, which you shouldn't take personally, I think you guys are complaining with a full belly (do you guys have they saying?)Surfdog said:Name one policy that Obama initiated that pulled us out of the "deepest financial crisis in recent history" that wasn't already in place by the time he took office?brukuns said:Do you guys have a MEME showing how Obama took office during the deepest financial crisis in recent history, and turned it around making the US the strongest economy in the world once again?

He just had to not mess up what was already in motion. This is the weakest recovery in modern times, since WWII. Obamacare (along with other useless gimmick policies, i.e. cash for clunkers, shovel ready jobs, green jobs, etc is dragging the anchor on what should be a booming economic recovery by now.
Why are interest rates still at 0% if our economy is going so gangbusters? We've been "warned" of rising interest rates coming because of a "supposed" booming economy for almost 3 years or more now. Always some lame excuse not to, because of this weakness, or that weakness. More people not working. More people collecting food stamps, and in poverty, than many decades prior. Many more have to work 2 part time jobs (or more) just to get by.
I guess all those new jobs count up well, specially when so many are working 2 of them (for less than a one did 8 years ago).
Ya, we're in a "strong" economy alright. Strong, maybe compared to the 3rd world. There's probably at least a few with more growth than we've had the last 6 years.
Fair enough. But what I don't think you're seeing from the outside looking in, is how this Obama administration wants use the policies of these failed and "not doing so hot" economically countries, thinking it will make things "equal" for all. That's NOT what made this country the "go to" country of the world.brukuns said:I'm not getting into an argument because I don't have enough information (not living in the US and not watching US news and all).

I think that your country is doing so well, that everyone else also wants to go to America. That's what scares you (and many others), and that's what strengthens crazy lunatics like Trump.
But than again, take my opinion with a grain of salt, this is not my country.
I can see that. But (again) in my opinion, people blow this out of proportion. The way people tell it, it's like Obama is turning the USA into a communist country. In my eyes he is just making sure that less favored people are getting their basic rights, tipping the scale if you will. I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to go any further.Surfdog said:Fair enough.

You're right. Dubya totally saved us from the ticking time bomb that Clinton left us with 8yrs earlier. What a fbcking hero!!!Surfdog said:Name one policy that Obama initiated that pulled us out of the "deepest financial crisis in recent history" that wasn't already in place by the time he took office?brukuns said:Do you guys have a MEME showing how Obama took office during the deepest financial crisis in recent history, and turned it around making the US the strongest economy in the world once again?
