Honest question on Obama

Did he do anything to help businesses and grow the economy in 8 years? Anything at all.
>he saved America from recession
The bailout was bipartisan and signed by Bush while still a lameduck president. But afterwards. Following 8 years did he do anything?

Honestly curious especially with the news today about all businesses and corporations investing as well as Dow at an all time high. So far with more than 250 companies bringing money back and investments from Apple to JP we are talking 500+ billion USD.

Trump is getting companies to invest in America now from all over the world today, not just American and the DNC is threatening to destroy the country over dreamers. Were Obama and the DNC carefree all this time about the country GDP and workers?

He created a trainee jobs program, that didn't lead to any new jobs being created.

That is all, wow. And liberal voters didn't mind zero salary growth and struggling to find a job all this time?

Do they care in Sweden?

Touché

Sorry. Yeah leftists are a global problem. Even to themselves.

Well I take it nobody on /pol knows the answer or the answer is Obama and the DNC didn't do anything for 8 years.

He allowed men to pee in the womens room.

>trannies
Lol wtf is wrong with them.

They hate men.

No. Obama was a community organizer. About the only business he understood fully were lemonade stands. His core competency was "muh feels" and "equality."

Awful fucking President and I'm glad Trump is wiping everything he did off the fucking slate.

He did give African American leaders a boost of confidence. That was a good thing in regards to refilled leaders, and a bad thing in regards to dindu leaders.

Kind of like how Trump is boosting confidence in conservatives to speak up and be politically incorrect if they care to. Or business confidence.

So.. really not much. I say that as someone who tries to be impartial. There is not much that I can attribute to obama. Healthcare was so floppy it was wiped by Trump quick

Well you guys better start gearing up already for midterms because they will do everything they can to go back to zero growth and unemployment.

Redpilled * leaders.. There are a few based blacks out there. It took away their excuse to protest inequality because everyone projected their anti racism so hard for 8 years

>obama care
Right. What happened to it? Is it actually gone now or, and if it is gone did millions die on the streets.

Ehh. It only lived through threat of fines... Trump basically removed the fine. So there is no penalty.

The program will slowly die. As for the uninsured, they will conttinue scraping by on handouts and laziness

Ah ok. Weird though Obama said fines were necessary and if gone millions would die on the streets.

Nigger in chief said a lot of bullshit.

Good point.

I'm just shocked that Obama and the DNC got away with 8 years of doing fuck all.

That's what happens when all it takes to pacify people is have some rap star come to the white house and bump fists and half of the US forgets about anything else going on.

Years of Propaganda has got us to this point. Day by day it's getting better.

no because many of them (a record number) went on food stamps or some other welfare program.

Obama's $800 BILLION stimulus was a massive fail and waste of money.

This is what happens when you elect a college professor/community activist/socialist rather than a capitalist.

They blame Bush or Trump or wypepo

It's fucked up.

>He did give African American leaders a boost of confidence. That was a good thing in regards to refilled leaders, and a bad thing in regards to dindu leaders.

That confidence fell away quickly when his rhetoric didn't translate into jobs and improved living conditions.

Watching BLM from afar (Australia) I noticed two things;

>BLM was a cynical attempt to get out the black vote at the expense of the police, and once the protests turned into riots (when they were throwing rocks onto the freeway), BLM disappeared for a while as it was hurting the Dems
> They studiously ignored the real problems in the black community - gun crime, drugs and the culture of gibs

He made it worse. Businesses literally closed their Butt cheeks as tight as possible fro four years in hopes that the shitty policies would get repelled but romenyblost and they reluctantly started to hire in 2013.
The major damage of the recession was adverted by tarp. Some rich people lost their ass and a lot of homes that were over valued caused other issues but Tarp shored up what would have a been a catestrofic lose of confidence in money and banks. The stimulus literally did nothing only 10% went to infrastructure.

No Obama’s lengthened the shitty period because nothing was based on business environment and everything was based on what the government was going to do next.

Yes. I also got the impression he made things worse and halted an actual recovery from reading about it.

Numbers don't lie. Yes he actually made it harder for businesses last 8 years. One of many things he lied about as candidate Obama.

He fudged numbers for 8 years and manipulated statistics so they would reflect on false numbers of growth. He actually put more energy and effort into falsely making himself look good than actually fixing anything.

Their idea of fixing the economy was to convince Americans it was good, so they would spend money. It red pilled a fuckton of Americans when they kept up the propaganda that the recession was over but people saw in their day to day life that was utter bullshit. Every person knew someone who was desperate for work.

I'll explain a few ways he manipulated numbers:

In America, unemployment is measured by people who are receiving unemployment checks, and who are actively looking for a job.
Checks only last two years.
Unemployment miraculously went down by a ton after the recession had been going on for two years.

A lot of people leave out there is a massive side effect Obama care had on the hiring practices of businesses.
In it there is a tiny loophole that stated of businesses hire workers under 40 hours they don't cover their health insurance. Lo and behold every business only hired 30 hours or less part time. This during the recession created a situation where millions were working multiple jobs just to reach one person's standard of living. Combined with no breaks because you need to work certain hours for breaks in some states. Combined with being threatened by employers to fire them if they worked over their hours.

In the last couple of months before Obama was to leave office, a big thing he was "handling" was what they called "Americans not participating in the work force" You can look up the article that quoted Obama saying they need to allow illegal immigrants to come into America because their statistics show jobs are there, but Americans aren't working. The solution wasn't their statistics were wrong and the economy was worse than they thought. No. The problem was Americans didn't want to work.

No. As a matter of fact, he did the opposite. If he had done nothing we would have naturally moved out of the recession much faster. For the history of how leftist fucks up recoveries, just look at the depression and the nearly two decade long cluster fuck of liberal policies and socialism that prolonged the recovery until world war managed to fix it. Liberal concepts are the antithesis of economic growth.

All I know is as a middle class husband and father of 3 beautiful aryan children. The previous 8 years were basically the worst years of my life. There weren't any good paying jobs during Obama's reign, overall, everyone's moral was the lowest I've ever seen it. Now only a year later, there's good paying jobs everywhere and people are starting to feel proud to be an American again. People are starting to feel more confident again. Obama almost killed my family. Today life is much much better. Thank you, Donald. #MAGA

Yeah he also made cars for clunkers. This did create jobs, but typical government jobs. They hired thousands of people who over a two year period processed on average three forms. Not three per day, three per their entire employment period. So at a cost of nearly $1 billion dollars we hired people to basically do absolutely nothing. And well, he fucked the used car market and inflated the shit out of new car prices, don't believe me, go look at new car prices. They went up almost 40% on average during his term.

This is insane. The man really set out to destroy America didn't he? I mean when taken that into account with everything he did with the armed forces, foreign diplomacy and trade deals, UN, internet even NASA.

It was a fail to you. It was a windfall to all of the lib groups and friends. See Sokyndra. Basically it was a massive money laundering scheme to enrich core leftists.

Wait. Didn't Hezbollah launder money by using coke and heroin money to buy cars in America and selling them in the ME?

They always ignore the real problems. If they fixed them they would lose voters. Only miserable poor people vote democrat reliably.

Similar story for me. Got job at at&t full time last year finally and now a bonus and even raise. Been a living hell last 8 years during Obama.

Same in Sweden.

To add more,
I actually did research to find out what the true unemployment numbers were in 2014 when I researched this.

Because of the manipulation of the true numbers for unemployment, I had to look at a population that was required by law to be as accurate as possible.

I looked at the reports for the level of income children reported for their homes. I used kids because it is required by law in every state that children attend school. They are a population where you cannot change their population numbers.

I then compared that to the American population of the same year. I did not take into account sibblings which would cause children to report about the same home. But, the average family has 2.5 kids and not all Americans have a child, so the numbers would only be off by a very minor number when taken into account.

I found that in 2014 2/3rds of Americans lived in homes bellow the poverty line.

That number is so staggering, with sibblings taken into account to lower that, it is still a insane number of just under 2/3rds of Americans bellow the poverty line. Combined with the unknown created by people without kids, that number rises even more.

With that in mind, I think you can understand why when everyone who said the economy was swell were pissed off by Trump, why that just made Americans throw the Molotov cocktail even harder by voting for him.

I still hope Obama doesn't get away with it.

It's funny how similar to Sweden they are because this is what our socialist government has done for decades and it has never been as bad as it is now. We can't trust any figures or data that comes from the state. I guess the DNC operates the same way.

I suspected as much but nice to see I wasn't crazy.

he literally said "the future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam"

i used to think people who said this are crazy but obama literally hates white people and wants to destroy western civilization, he has true spite and malice in his heart and i honestly dont even understand why, i guess maybe he's jealous he's not 100% white or is even really strong and masculine like a field bull nigger

FED must die

Hail crypto, no gibs, no big state, no expropriation, only liberty

Obama made a bunch of promises in his first term and followed through with nothing and then destabilized the middle east, north america, and europe in his second term. If obongos was never president than the migrant crisis would be non-existent today.

In the final end...

The single only good thing Obama did for America was to defeat John McCain...

That is all...

>brother- in- law says Obama did so much for the middle class
>ask for specifics

Lmao I've seen that stare too often.

Checked

The double issue was business normally cut employees when things go bad but a year later they start hiring people back but because of Obama’s policies this did not happen. Soon business adjusted to usin less employees. Some got rid of processes and others automated job (where they hired me).
This also slowed the employment growth. Maybe good for the long run but caused lots of pain.

He helped (((their))) banks grow by dong this.
