We have had 8 years of measurable, undeniable PROGRESS under Obama.

Before President Obama took office, the incompetent Bush administration was in charge.
After 8 years, they and the republican congress gave the country all of these accomplishments:

An unnecessary war in Iraq, costing over one trillion dollars (added to the national debt)

A tax cut for the wealthy class, costing 750 billion dollars (added to the national debt)

The near collapse of the banking industry caused by deregulation, costing taxpayers 850 billion dollars (added to national debt) and not one person responsible was even prosecuted for a crime!

The near collapse of the auto industry, costing taxpayers 800 billion dollars (thankfully, it was paid back and people saved their jobs because Obama chose to SAVE it rather than abandon it.)

An unemployment rate of 10% and no job creation.

The collapse of the housing market -- caused by deregulation, the rancid mortgage lenders and phony overvaluation -- resulting in record number of foreclosures and bankruptcies.

The collapse in the stock market by 50%, causing middle class investors to lose life savings and retirement savings.

The attempt to privatize Social Security.


Well, TRUMP SUCKERS, it's all going to happen AGAIN. Like dominoes falling over, all these things will happen again.
BUT you can take solace in knowing that America is "great again"; that another entitled, wealthy, duplicitous, white
man is President again; and that the party which promotes and protects white, wealthy privilege is now completely
in charge of our government... hurray !!!!

WE ARE ALL FUCKED!!!
