5. Obama presided over the greatest economic recovery in your or your mother's lifetime.

I think your entire premiss is faulty.

Obama inherited a trainwreck and somehow pulled us back from the brink of unrecoverable damage.

He not only brought us back into equilibrium, he exceeded that and put is in better shape than in generations.

All with the most obstructionist Congress I've ever known.

Now listen, the fight now isn't against Obama, he's doing fine on his way out.

The fight now is against Hillary Clinton who, with her husband Bill, contributed to the mess we're in and continues to be a threat to the security of our nation.

You're picking the wrong fight.
