Just not very surprising stuff, although the economic presentation don't fit the narrative

Disappointed with a minimal increase in the household income average

idk, I think I was going for presentation but it got autocorrected

Thanks, Obama?

Its interesting to look at things statistically. So basically Obama helped the economy, hurt health care, and was basically stagnant on everything else?

the Dems lost a ton of power across the board, as well ... i knew they took hits over the 8 years, but seeing the numbers fleshed out is very telling.

Spending more on health care while covering much more people.  It is a mixed bag overall.

So. Many. Assumptions.

Did okay economically. Mostly stayed out of the way.

Increased health coverage with a corresponding increase in health care spending. Who knew economics worked like that?

A nearly abject failure internationally.

So the numbers support the outward appearance. Seems right to me.

This was the biggest thing to me.  Goes against the narrative the Dems and their supporters have been throwing out there.  It appears the country began turning their collective back on them a long time ago.

Fixed....actual care, as a whole doesn't seem to have improved all that much....which is a problem.

They got hammered in a redistricting year (2010) at all levels

Not sure why anyone thought health insurance would fix that.  He was just throwing good money after bad without addressing the core problems which are lack of proper nutrition and exercise.

But so much better then relying on perceptions.

Obama stimulated the gun & ammunition industry in a way no one before or after will match.

Obama inherited a strengthened executive branch, and he made it even stronger by going to war with in the middle east without congressional authorization and assassinating US citizens without judicial review.  Fortunately, he's handing the keys to a guy who can be trusted to use these powers wisely.

 

[Jayrod]

It is basically what I expected.  Things are neither as rosy as the administration is painting them to be nor as bad as his detractors are saying.

Interesting.  It appears Obama was well on his way to #MAGA
