We should rename this thread the Trumps.

"The previous administration went about this the wrong way by imposing rules on ISPs through the FCC's Title II rulemaking power," White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters yesterday. "We support the FCC chair's efforts to review and consider rolling back these rules and believe that the best way to get fair rules for everyone is for Congress to take action and create regulatory and economic certainty."

While I can't stand the Trump administration, I'm really looking for people who would defend the Obama years at this point.
The dude's only legacy was ACA which is, at best, a mediocre band-aid in the future of America's health care industry disaster economics.
He was elected an idealist but quickly compromised bascially everything, and was broadly ineffective for his last 5 years in office... not to mention his inability to close Gitmo or the fact we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I'm not saying I'd rather have had McCain or Romney, I'm just wondering what democrats can possibly see in a future in the party. It's the failures of the Obama administration to constrict executive powers and move the country to the left that have left Trump with all this breathing room to fuck us over in so many ways.
- you have heard of the "party of 'NO"", right? Getting things done requires cooperation, the GOP took an unprecedented stance to stop anything and everything.formed
- ^ exactly what formed saidRamanisky2
- let's see ... stock market tripled under him, job market improved every year, year after year, he pushed us into an alternative energy future ... and moremonospaced
- Can you qualify your last sentence please?BonSeff
- apparently colin_s has been living on a different planet.Ramanisky2
- To be fair, we're never leaving Iraq or Afghanistan. We're there for life, it's our only stronghold in that region.sofakingback
- didn't he compromise a lot because he couldn't get anything past the repubs? I agree he made some terrible foreign policy decisions but any other presidentfadein11
- would have struggled with the growth of ISIS and taken the same advice from the military/intelligenc... that he did. I don't follow the line that ISIS werefadein11
- created by Obama, deep state possibly but Obama highly unlikely. Too much weight is put on the puppet leaders shoulders. They cannot actually change the realfadein11
- agenda that much and Trump is a perfect example of words vs reality.fadein11
- How is Trump fucking anyone over - nothing is happening?fadein11
- should have read other comments 1st :)fadein11
- perpetual war and rebuilding warzones are all part of the game colin - it's what makes the real money.fadein11
- Obama deported a shit ton of people and didn't make a big deal about it?BonSeff
- Obama droned a shit ton of people and didn't make a big deal about it?BonSeff
- any president would have droned the fuck out of the middle east - it's what you do. and a slightly better alternative to carpet bombing it has to be said.fadein11

- I don't think Obama compromised as much as a) Repubs blocked him at every turn, and b) the guy was always a centrist and pragmatistallthethings
- The "Hope" thing got people projecting stuff onto him, but that's not who he was at all. The funny thing is if he was an R, the right would be renamingallthethings
- Reagan National for Obama. But you know, he's half black, and they couldn't abide that.allthethings

Obama was an excellent president. Rated 12th by historians and scholars recently. Came in office in an epic recession... 8 years later every single market much healthier than it was. And he had 75 straight months of job growth. I would not call that a band aid. It's lasting improvements that have continued into the trump administration, which of course trump is trying to take credit for even though hes literally done next to nothing as president.
Obama didnt have the greatest job growth ever, but that was because the economy was on the mend. The fact remains that the job market and economy improved year after year during his time. He gets credit for dealing with a mess few presidents have had to deal with on that level, and made progress. It didnt get worse, it didnt stay stagnant, it was legit improving. Thats his legacy that cant be erased. Its in the history books permanently, the president that brought up back from the great recession.
- And he had no drama at all during 2 terms. No Drama Obama, unlike Trump who has been nothing but drama.CygnusZero4
- So this means that under great pressure and racism, Obama kept his cool, as good presidents should. He never complained.CygnusZero4
- To say nothing of what Obama had personally endure during his presidency. Racism, personal insults, the sort of discourse that has no place in civil society.Continuity
- Much of that virtiol, of course, coming from your current so-called 'president'.Continuity
- At the very least he was a respectable representative for this country and an example of how act when you're a leader. Something Trump can't ever do.sofakingback

- yupmonospaced
- That was a nice moment. Looking back to remember the positive things. The "No-drama-Obama" years when racism didn't exist, when life had meaning.********
- omfgmonospaced
- When personal insults had no place in society, a landscape of American beauty, an era we can call.... The double rainbow********
- I weep a tear and blink at the epic recession that does not exist. But alas, there is no band-aid for the one that pumps the red, white, and blue.********
- You are fucking hopeless. You disagree with everything said there, all those irrefutable facts?allthethings
- Why so angry omg? What has you so insulted personally? Long gone are the days when you claimed to be a libertarian, now you're just an angry Trumpet.sofakingback

'Trump is now attacking his own administration, including Jeff Sessions'
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…
'The US president described Sessions’ actions [recusal from the Russia investigation] as “extremely unfair – and that’s a mild word – to the president”.'
Translation: 'Waaaaaaaaah! He should have protected me! Now everyone one's going to find out what I did! It's so unfair! Waaaaaaaaaaah!'
- Zzzzz no one likes him, he doesnt like anyone else, nothing to see here really. All pretty much inevitable and expected.CygnusZero4

'Citing Recusal, Trump Says He Wouldn’t Have Hired Sessions'
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/…
'Mr. Trump [...] warned investigators against delving into matters too far afield from Russia.
Asked if Mr. Mueller’s investigation would cross a red line if it expanded to look at his family’s finances beyond any relationship to Russia, Mr. Trump said, “I would say yes.” He would not say what he would do about it. “I think that’s a violation. Look, this is about Russia.”'
Afraid of what Mueller will turn up, Donnie? Got something to hide?

Trump supporters still fixate on Clinton as mood darkens
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…
a very good read
- I got the impression it's all about NOT talking about essential things in politics. clinton, fakenews, russia, thewall, obama, winning, losing...uan
- instead of focusing on a real debate on what you want as people, what is good for your country and how you can achive it.uan
- meanwhile who knows what kind of deals are being made behind this smoke screen. you should care more about real issues. (and hope democracy still works)uan
- at least we agree on something we do not wantzaq
