Obama’s Two Mistakes That Lost The Country

[unblock]

15. nice of the article to mention 2 huge causes of these problems and then say it's obama's fault

obama's achievements are objectively huge. he inherited an economy in free fall and unemployment's back to healthy levels. had you invested in the stock market at the beginning of his presidency and you would have made more money than during the tenure of any other president ever.

had obama been a republican there is absolutely no way he would not have been elevated to sainthood already.

remember that obamacare was based on a republican/heritage foundation idea for a market-oriented solution as an alternative to government-based solutions like medicare-for-all. very similar to rmoneycare.

had mclame won in 2008 and put rmoneycare in place nationwide, or had obamacare been stymied and rmoney won in 2012 and put rmoneycare in place nationwide, republicans would have been shouting its gloriousness from the rooftops.


it's disingenuous to blame the victim of such media and partisan attacks. had obama done things differently, the media and republicans would have stymied him and vilified him differently, but at least as effectively.

obama has faced nearly unprecedented challenges as president, and done far more than most other occupants of that office could have done with the cards he was dealt.
