We've actually gotten to see the results of the path of the "W" nation building attempt - and it's been a disaster. You admit as much. <br /><br /><br />Firemanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633105706285705750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-83606144085723447862018-06-07T09:49:29.614-07:002018-06-07T09:49:29.614-07:00Agreed, Ruby.Agreed, Ruby.Lawyerlizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030203787421910921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-27001733700213226082018-06-07T09:12:17.891-07:002018-06-07T09:12:17.891-07:00T did find a unique way of implementing "fisc...T did find a unique way of implementing "fiscal responsibility". There are so many unappointed federal positions that it's amazing some of the departments are still running at all. If you don't like the mission of the parks department or the EPA or the justice department, just don't hire any staff.

Preaching no new taxes really got him. Bush two needed to finish Iraq but did a horrible job of it and let the economy run wild out of control from deregulation started by Bush one signed off by Clinton. Not a real favorite in the bunch for me. So I am not Republican hack but a fiscal conservative. That was the old world of responsibility.

Fed funds rate hit zero in December before he took office.<br /><br />But, the combo of cut taxes and raise spending was precisely what Reagan did. Then he stepped back and let the economy recover. And unemployment recovered at a slightly faster pace under Obama than under Reagan (some mitigating factors in both eras - but nonetheless true).<br /><br />Not saying he didn't have some blunders - but I cannot fathom the logic that ranks Obama behind "W" as worst President since WWII. My personal fav President in my life remains Bush Sr. My opinion, Obama was a solid orator, meh President, whose screw ups were relatively minor (especially compared to "W"). But, in the end, the country ended up VASTLY better off after his 8 years than when he entered.<br /><br />Firemanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633105706285705750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-62316826998550871732018-06-07T06:20:28.952-07:002018-06-07T06:20:28.952-07:00Good Morning! ☀️

Obummer did little to help but push his agenda of hate and division. His promise of helping blacks did nothing. Green energy is a flop except funding his friends failures to be bought up by mostly foreign companies. O passed or appointed people who caused ridiculous standards that killed some businesses. Sold Uranium forcing his green energy policy. Coal had locally effected the UP railroad who was big in hauling coal and the Wyoming coal industry, T got tax cuts passed for a better business climate and jobs hopefully of better quality. O was the worst president in my life time. Hillary would have been worse. T was not my choice nor did I think he would get elected. I voted against Hillary and to my surprise he won and is doing a very good job. Data does not set attitudes and set hope for a better future.
