    Violent crime has been the lowest it's ever been in the past 8 years. And no I'm not pinning that in Obama.

    My point is that you can list key terms and hot phrases FOR EVERY President. All you did was list bad things that happened in the last 8 years. In no way did you attempt to place it in context and relate it to another presidency. You can do that for literally every former president.

    Why am I bothering. Do I seriously expect ipman to debate with any sense of nuance instead of just platitudes and yelling out 'Benghazi!' or 'Boston!'.

    No not really.

    That list would make Kim Jong-Un jealous okay. Point is that good things and bad things happened under his watch but if you think a single person is directly responsible for things that big you're kidding yourself. At best, the president is a cheerleader for ideas that come from other people, usually lobbyists. At best a president will implement policy given to him by someone else. Lists like that make it sound like we live under a dictatorship where our dear leader makes the sun rise every morning. Bottom line, it's a joke to get so much credit (provided by OP) and blame (provided by me).

    Man you love moving goal posts.

    And no, your initial premise of "That list would make Kim Jong-Un jealous okay" is diametrically opposed to reality.

    Man you love defending Obama and yes Kim Jong-Un's list is nothing compared to Obama's list which is why Kim would be jealous. In fact Kim would have his Make Great List of Dear Leader staffer killed for not coming up with a list as good as Obama's. Do you need this /s, yea I think you do /s.

    You needing a /s at the end of your post is on you not me. Your post history has you to thank for that.

    Rescued the Economy
    Signed the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 to spur economic growth amid the most severe downturn since the Great Depression. As of October 2016, the economy had added 15.5 million new jobs since early 2010 and
    set a record with 73 straight months of private-sector job growth, w a monthly avg of > 100K jobs created. in the waning months of W's watch, the US economy was losing >100 K jobs on a monthly basis.
    O absolutely rescued the US economy from the W-induced economic depression.

    W's ineptness F*cked out the economy, leading to the economic bubbles, losing hundred of thousands of job a month. W made it worst w his inept attempt in bailing out the financial industry. Under O's watch, the US economy was able to stay afloat.

    B4 O took office, so too was W's futile attempt to bail out the financial industry.

    what a difference a competent President makes;

    while W F*ucked up, O was able to fixed the mess left behind by the inept one.​

    beyond just rescuing a cratering economy,

    Obama had built a strong economic foundation, as witnessed by >70 consecutive months of positive jobs creation, avg more 100K

    the Obama economy has been so strong that even the dotard can't screw it up !​

    He never gets credit for cleaning up cartel border violence. Essentially the cartels moved south but we can't fix central America or even central Mexico

    We can make the border safer and he did

    Could shoot from behind the arc. Still would pick last.
