Now that Obamacare, his supposedly big legacy has fallen flat on its face what else has he got?

His Ttp trade thing is unpopular and will be scrapped by the next president.

As a black president, he's shown a complete disregard for the same people without whose votes he'd never have been in the White House and leaves the office with black worse off in a long time.

So what else is there? Yes he's the first black president and can't be taken away from him but he's been completely underwhelming in most cases and an outright failure in others.

The advancement of drone warfare

Stabilized the economy following the recession but didn't go hard on bankers and couldn't get any serious regulation passed

Put a presentable face on American imperialism

General Motors is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead. :obama:
Also:
  • Homicides have dropped 13 percent, but gun sales have surged.
  • The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median.
  • The number of long-term unemployed Americans has dropped by 614,000 under Obama, but it is still 761,000 higher than at the start of the Great Recession.
  • Corporate profits are up 166 percent; real weekly wages are up 3.4 percent.
  • Wind and solar power have nearly tripled, and now account for more than 5 percent of U.S. electricity.
  • Instituted DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) for illegal immigrants kids
  • The Dow has also more than doubled, rising 106 percent during Obama’s tenure, and the NASDAQ has tripled, rising 222 percent.
  • The national average price of regular gasoline sank to just under $2 a gallon the lowest point since March 2009

Looked at better in retrospect compared to Bill who's been looking funny in the light.

The Opposite Of Elliott Wilson's Mohawk
ISIS
Fake economic recovery (especially for black people)
Singing "Lets Stay Together" to black people during his 2012 campaign
GOAT Correspondence Dinner stand up routines
:troll:ing the white American power structure
Doubling federal debt (though he did get the deficit down)
High deductibles and high premiums in healthcare
Bearing some responsibility for the spike in divisiveness with his continued dismissal of middle America

Mixed bag at best just like any post WWII president :francis:

General Motors is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead. :obama:
Also:
  • Homicides have dropped 13 percent, but gun sales have surged. Fair
  • The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median. Labor participation rate is at 1979 lows
  • The number of long-term unemployed Americans has dropped by 614,000 under Obama, but it is still 761,000 higher than at the start of the Great Recession. Labor participation rate is at 1979 lows
  • Corporate profits are up 166 percent; real weekly wages are up 3.4 percent. :russ: @ this being good. This is a clear demonstration of where the spoils of the "recovery" have gone. Inflation over the same period has been 12.5%, real win there :biggapls: :mjlol:
  • Wind and solar power have nearly tripled, and now account for more than 5 percent of U.S. electricity. True, but then Solyndra
  • Instituted DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) for illegal immigrants kids Immigration laws have a purpose; the president should either execute them or change them. Refusal to uphold laws on the books is irresponsible and an abuse of power.
  • The Dow has also more than doubled, rising 106 percent during Obama’s tenure, and the NASDAQ has tripled, rising 222 percent. Meanwhile the % of people living in poverty in America has grown. Mixed bag at best
  • The national average price of regular gasoline sank to just under $2 a gallon the lowest point since March 2009 What initiative did Obama put forth to bring gas prices down.... this is the president that blocked the Keystone XL pipeline

Stop it slime. You're not slick, your cue cards are easily to find.
