It's called collateral damage and if it saved us from an invasion of mainland Japan which would have resulted in protracted combat and killed hundreds of thousands of US service men....I got no problems with it.

True story, coldest hands I've ever shook were from the doctor giving me a physical which included a hernia check. I could feel ice through the nitrile gloves he was wearing.

i think he was a terrible public speaker. just read off the teleprompter, and beat up on strawman arguments.

I think Obama's erection flaunting is the thing i will remember most because it sums up his narcissism and creepiness, and demonstrates how the media covered for him by not showing this video. LINK

2nd thing would be his speech in 2008 about how he could not disown Jeramaih Wright.

No, he's a solid public speaker. That's part of the problem--he had the charisma to honey-coat the poison he spewed, and people ate it up. Snake oil salesman of a president.

You know you're severely fricked in the head when you say things like this.

You're in fact incapable of thinking clearly on the matter of politics, you're way too fricked up over it.

I agree with Trae Crowder. You will be missed President Obama.

i actually agree with a lot of the OP. i started out as an Obama hater early on and then softened a bit in my early 30s.


I'm the exact opposite. I started of knowing I'd disagree with a lot of his politics but being very hopeful that he'd use is position to improve race relations and be an inspiration to young black men. I really thought he had a great chance to be a positive influence on a lot of lives.

I grew to despise him when I saw that instead of doing that, he was going all in with the 'blame whitey and frick the police' movement.

Just as people will study for years how he publicly spoke, people will also study how he handled race relations so they know to do the exact opposite.

I don't like Trae Crowder's politics, but he's hilarious.

They would have reasons to fight at that point.

But they would still be citizens and more of them would have probably died if a massive invasion had occurred. Both sides would've lost way more.

I think Obama will be remembered by the majority as a mediocre or average at best POTUS. Now, obviously, liberals will view him as one of the best ever while conservatives will view him as one of the worst ever.

Let's say Trump fixes Obamacare, what will that mean for Obama's legacy? Cuz Obama certainly got the ball rolling.

Wish people would talk about fixing the various roots to the problem and how to positively change what healthcare is, instead of trying to figure out who and how to pay for the abomination that is health care.

That's cool. I mean prices are obviously a huge part of why health care is a mess, but I'm going for things beyond that when I'm talking about change and approaches to fixing it.

I agree, but there are so many of what I think of as "entrenched interests" and this is the first sign I am seeing of that system being attacked.

It helped a very small minority of people while simultaneously fricking the rest of us up the arse.
