I've seen members of the Obama Diary talk about this before.

What do they think happened in 2008?! We had a revolution that shocked the repubs so hard they vowed not to help President Obama at all .. at the cost of their country. Their hate for him is stronger than giving a shite about America. Think about that.

"But that's how America works: we have no sense of history. We don't understand just how bad it was right before the 2008 election. In actuality, we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. Unemployment was twice what it was now. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was below 8,000. The financial industry had crashed the global economy and was seemingly continuing those very same actions as if nothing they had done was even wrong. Retirees were losing their life savings. Millennials were unable to find their first jobs and were being crushed by student debt. Our country was bogged down in two costly wars that were contributing to the deteriorating conditions and instability of the Middle East. While all this was going on, the rich in this country, seemingly unaffected by everything going on around them, continued to profit at record levels."

President Obama has been an Excellent President who not only brought us back from the brink but navigated us through so much success! He's been a transformational CIC!

And, I feel sorry for those who refuse to see that.
