8 years of Obama

So what is Sup Forums’s opinion about his 8 year presidency?

He started off as a big meme and wanted to change things, but did he really change anything meaningful?

What are his achievements? Some points/counterpoints/sources from the last thread:

>Obamacare
just selling out to insurance companies; health costs still rising
>gay marriage
Supreme court and not Obama
>racial tensions increased; undermined police work and supported rioters instead
>economic growth and (some) more jobs

hbs.edu/competitiveness/Documents/problems-unsolved-and-a-nation-divided.pdf
hard to attribute to Obama’s policies; no national economic strategy, so this might just be due to successful businesses
>national debt increased (total and relative to GDP)

>continued destabilizing other countries and effectively created ISIS
More of a problem for the EU though
>Osama bin Laden caught
Mentioning this for the sake of completeness; more due to others doing their job
>promised to close Guantanamo

bump

nobody cares about this faggot anymore?

He killed Bin Laden, didn't he? Only in a boat in the mid of international waters, with no cameras or witnesses, nor any kind of proor save his word.

Now that his birth certificate is confirmed to be fake and Obama is not a natural born American, the last 8 years basically didn't happen. Every law he passed, every regulation, every deal and pretty much everything he did in the government is now void.

If only this starts to pick up more momentum the liberals and Democrats will be BTFO into oblivion. Hopefully Trump makes a huge deal out of this once he's in the office.

...

and most of seal team 6 died in a helicopter crash a few days later

In 2000 years, archaeologists excavating the ruins of the White House will discover an anomalous refuse layer containing nothing but chicken bones.

They'll hypothesize about an 8 year period where disease ravaged the cattle and swine populations, but it was just niggers.

All memes aside, I think he did the best he could considering congress fought him every step of the way. I also like him a lot as a person. I know this is a racist board, but that is just how I feel. I do think America is screwed... nothing is going to stop the wealth inequality from getting worse, and people will continue to be unhappy.

That tapeworm is really fucking with your head Pajeet

yeah wheres the fucking proof?

oh wait there is none cuz osama died in 2002. If the gov went public back then we wouldve demanded an end to haliburtons 2 illegal wars. cant have that

What? What are you salty about now?

He belongs in a noose like the nigger that he is, but we'll have to settle with him being publicly humiliated as his legacy is destroyed and he goes down in history as the coon who got Donald Trump elected.

lemme break it down nice and simple for ya

his foreign policy was the same as the failed establishment bush policy that came before him, so there was no change there

his domestic policy was even worse and increased social tensions between races and sexes by allowing an environment where it's more important to place blame than to try and work out problems

>wealth inequality
thats a liberal talking point and a non-issue

someone having more isn't the reason you have less. the pie is big enough for everyone

The shilling is strong with this one

>>>continued destabilizing other countries and effectively created ISIS
ISIS was a al-qaeda affiliate under Bush and broke off. Bush's mistake was going for unilateral military intervention with no goal in mind, thus having no way to leave under terms favorable to us. Obama and this country's mistake was following through with the withdrawal plan set by Bush and the Iraqi government rather than lay down to the people what withdrawal would mean and pressing Iraq to stay in longer, but then again what was the goal now? Still he pulled out, and tried refocused the US military on Asia under the advice of Hillary Clinton's Asia pivot. What followed after that was just bad luck. Arab spring turned into violent terrorists militancies, the Iraqi military revealed itself to be poorly trained and disciplined and turned tail in the face of these groups. US military forces would need to re-deploy to Iraq, though the plan now is to conserve assets and limit use with special forces and working with local forces. The US didn't think through the Libya situation and hoped that its European allies would pick up the slack, which it didn't. Obama and Hillary's "Russia re-set" didn't work, and to make matters worse, the Ukranian populace overthrew it's Russian-friendly president in an attempt to express desire for closer EU and NATO relations, something that deeply troubled Russia and forcing them to take action. To top it all off, the American populace rejected a series of trade plans, including TPP, the trade deal that would have Asia trade under America's terms and conspicuously not on China's terms.

>started drone bombing pakistan 3 days after getting sworn in
>fucked up Libya
>fucked up Syria
>fucked up Lebanon
>fucked up our healthcare
>"muh added so many jobs!"
>really just reclassified the defninitions of full time, doesn't even count people who can't find work after a year or so
>if i had a son he'd look like trayvon
>supports BLM terrorists

etc,etc. fuck this nigger he should hang.

>and pressing Iraq to stay in longer
We would still be there then. Staying longer wasn't a solution when staying didn't solve any problems, it would just prop everything up until we left at an even later date

Terrible. He went left too fast and was neutered by the voters two years later. The progressives thought their dream welfare state was right around the corner but lost everything. He actually worked out to be a patriots best friend. Now he'll show zero class like Bush did and lob bombs from the sidelines to keep everyone at each others throats. Just the way the left likes it

Disinfo: the post

>ukraine "revolution" was just the US and NATO overthrowing a democratically elected leader yet again
>wikileaks prove Clinton and the French wanted to get rid of Gaddafi, had nothing to do with "arab spring"(which the western intelligence agencies funded)
>>To top it all off, the American populace rejected a series of trade plans, including TPP, the trade deal that would have Asia trade under America's terms and conspicuously not on China's terms.

At that last point I don't even know if this is a troll or just actually retarded.

Seriously, the GOP hasn't had these numbers since the Great Depression.

Plus, he indirectly neutered the Clintons, which means the Democrats are an empty husk. They literally hollowed themselves out to be a bunch of lackeys for Clinton and never considered she would lose and now they have nothing.

Feels good man.

Basically all of his "Achievements" can be attributed to someone else, so the best you could say is that he 'oversaw' a lot of shit. And Obamacare was a huge failure

4/10 President

Didnt we have this thread yesterday?

It sure does. Now they need to reconstruct themselves to be the Bernie sanders socialist party which will keep them in the wilderness for years to come. Progressives cast off anyone who doesn't adopt their extreme views so it'll be a while before the left moderates and far left progressives kiss and make up. It sure does feel good. It's vindication for the sane people of the country.

...

For all the talk of him wanting to ban guns, he actually loosened restrictions on NFA items(SBR's, suppressors, machine guns, etc) by removing the requirement that a person gets approval from their local law enforcement officials. He did ban Russian imports tho...

>>ukraine "revolution" was just the US and NATO overthrowing a democratically elected leader yet again
Even IF I were to consider your claim very generously, there is no way the US/NATO could have done this without local support. Get it, it needs LOCAL support. Had the protest been a couple hundred of paid US shills it could scrape up, then the police and the rest of the populace would have expressed opposition and defeated that group. Again, that is if I were to give more credit to your idea than is warranted.

>>wikileaks prove Clinton and the French wanted to get rid of Gaddafi, had nothing to do with "arab spring"(which the western intelligence agencies funded)
Please read my post carefully to understand what I claimed and what I didn't. I said that America did not have plans on what to do with Libya AFTER Gadaffi was removed, and it hoped that its European allies would take over. NOWHERE did I say that Arab Spring was not a US/European funded movement, but rather that it turned into a Islamic/terrorist movement.

>>To top it all off, the American populace rejected a series of trade plans, including TPP, the trade deal that would have Asia trade under America's terms and conspicuously not on China's terms.
TPP is economic containment of China. The Chinese are now preparing their own offer to the Pacific bordering countries. It's funny to watch a year ago how the MSM giving a soapbox to the anti-trade crowd, and only now are realizing the geopolitical implications of America pulling out of the deal.

POO

Outside of being "black", he is basically Jimmy Carter 2.0, an ineffective president, but somewhat eloquent of a speaker.
