    There are many legitimate concerns about anti-white racism. I’ve seen most of it in college with financial aid allocation. Or the fact that in general non-white students had to have lower scores to make it into the college.
    You can rationalize it anyway you want, but discrimination is discrimination and if it’s directed at whites then it fits into the definition of anti-white racism.

    IMO, Obama was a better than average president.
    Anti-war presidents are good presidents.

    Just because Obama wants higher taxes on the wealthy and believes that there is such a thing as too much money doesn't mean he is against rich people.

    Also, Trump has increased the deficit by 3 trillion already and his first term isn't even over and he didn't inherit a recession. He did this after attacking Obama for his deficits. Both parties are very hypocritical about the deficit. I remember when Paul Ryan kept attacking Obama for the deficit and made a radical plan to eliminate the debt. Later under his leadership the deficits reached almost a trillion dollars without a recession thanks to be bills he helped pass.

    As for the Obama scandals, the key word is "significant." From my understanding nobody has gone to jail for any of the so-called scandals listed above even when the Trump administration can clearly investigate however they choose.

    Obama had a lot of problems, but he wasn't that bad.

    I honestly don't think the wealthy should be punished, we should be finding ways to make more wealthy people. America used to be a rags to riches story, now it seems like for some, the idea that that's possible is a bad idea.

    Brilliant, Blaster. Absolutely brilliant. I will copy this and use it at http://BarackObamaism.blogspot.com

    "I don't speak Austrian." - Barack Obama, clueless to the fact that Austrians don't either! They speak German.

    Doesn't change the fact that those people calling Trump a liar, while approving Obama would be hypocrites.

    Actually, I'm hoping it is NOT good for anyone.

    Just one greasy hamburger too many...just one greasy french fry too many...might just help make the world great again.

    Gotta sort of admire that Obama went into office as a senator as just a fiscally average man, and then a year later was a bottom of the barrel millionaire when he became president . . . and then when he left the presidency only eight years later he was mysteriously worth about forty million dollars. All this while the political Left -- with their DEEP concern for ethics -- deliberately looked the other way.

    Let’s see ...

    Here’s how we know the person who put together your little chart is an idiot. The Treasury Department assigns Debt to the President by fiscal years where the President has actually signed off on the spending bill. The 2009 budget was passed in 2008 and signed off by Bush. The 2017 budget was signed off by Obama.

    No mystery about where the Obama’s money came from - he released HIS tax records. Book deals and speaking fees for himself and more so for Michelle. But the big boost came from a contract to produce content for Netflix AFTER they left office. Next time take five seconds to research your post before you post ignorant crap.

    The rebuttable presumption should always be: professional politician = crook.

    Obama had 95% positive press even though he broke records for being an incompetent fascist.

    Trump overcomes 5% positive press, a reward for record breaking improvement in the lives of every American, and parlays that into almost 10 times the approval the press gives him.

    Last I looked there has been an increase in family earning of over $5000 during Presidents short administration. That is being used to bolster our military, greatly reduce totalitarian China's influence on the world, and keep Americans employed. Those are priorities. Reducing the deficit will come. This is a far cry from Obama's idea of "getting used to the new normal" and submitting to global domination of a few elite.

    ,,, while his violations of the emoluments clause by hustling the writings of a domestic terrorist increased his own net worth from $1.3M to $21M during his 8 years in office. "He didn't build that" is an understatement of gargantuan proportion.

    Trump's favorability ratings suck.

    Obama's favorability ratings are high.

    To me...that is perfectly reasonable, because Obama was intelligent and classy...and Trump is probably a two-digit IQ and is completely void of class.
