[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hillary running as Obama's third term is nuts.

She ain't no Obama ............. but then she can't run on her own merits because she is such a crappy candidate.[/quote]

I wish Obama could run for his third term.  And I'm no Obama fan.  But he's WAY better than either of these clowns[/quote]
I think Obama has been a poor president and has made a lot of policy mistakes (and no.....it's not because he's black, thank you very much), but I agree....I'd vote for him hands down before either of the current two candidates.[/quote]

Can you elaborate on the policy mistakes Obama has made? Obamacare has over 50% support. His Antiwar Foreign Policy is still popular and is the reason he got elected. His economic policy has unemployment at 5% , made US the only growing economy among developed nations and stock market is at its peak(as is my 401K and my stock portfolio). Economic inequity is due to GOP blocking all his policies towards that end, including infrastructure bill, Retraining bill etc.[/quote]
Well, I know you and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, so I don't expect you'll agree with any of my opinions, but I provide them just to make sure people (not necessarily you) know there are reasons not to like a president that have nothing to do with race. (I've sometimes spent five minutes why I think a policy is wrong, only to be told...."racist." It's a weak comeback.)

That said, here are some examples of what I think Obama did wrong: The stimulus package was a waste of money (an extra million jobs were lost after it)....Obamacare has harmed a lot of people (the middle class who makes too much for subsidies but now have policies with ridiculous deductibles that are practically useless)...the Libya intervention was a big mistake (Obama himself admits to this), we are at the lowest labor participation rate in decades (the 5% you mention does not factor in discouraged workers who have left the market), the Iran Deal....pulling out of Iraq too soon....allowing the abuses in the VA to continue way too long....the START treaty with Russia....the Bergdahl terrorist swap....declining the Keystone pipeline....adding $9 trillion to the debt....failure to secure the border and being weak with illegal immigrants who commit multiple crimes (that Steinle woman is an example)...unconstitutional executive action...just a sampling of the policies/actions I disagree with. If I had more time, I could give you more.

Again, I know you'll think differently, and I don't want to engage in a debate with you - especially given Obama is on his sway out. But this should tell you just how dismayed I am with our current candidates that I'd consider Obama, with all his wrong decisions (as I see them), to be preferable.[/quote]
