8 years of suffering under Barack Obama - GMDino - 10-10-2017 https://tericarter.wordpress.com/2017/07/10/8-years-of-suffering-under-obama/ Quote:The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.” Let the fact checking begin....

Summary The numbers are nearly all in now. What they show about what really happened during the eight years that Barack Obama was president is sometimes different from what politicians claimed.
![]() ![]() Gathering statistics is a painstaking and time-consuming job. Figures on crime, household incomes and poverty in 2016 weren’t released until September 2017, for example. But now we have a reasonably complete statistical picture of the Obama years, which began in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, and ended with the highest level of household income ever recorded. These facts often turn out to be at odds with the impressions created by candidates who, for example, claimed wages and incomes were stagnant when in fact they were rising. The facts also can conflict with impressions created by news media reporting dramatic but untypical events. Despite nonstop coverage of several mass shootings, for example, the murder rate was going down for most of the Obama years, hitting the lowest ever recorded in 2014. Some of these figures remain subject to tweaks and revisions. Figures on handgun production in 2016 are still “preliminary,” for example, and others will remain subject to slight revisions for years to come, as statisticians routinely refine their methods and assumptions. We will keep this update current as necessary in the months and years to come. For now, it’s as “final” as possible.

Iran Contra is the first thing that comes to mind RE: 8 years of suffering under Barack Obama - StLucieBengal - 10-11-2017 Isn't this the same obama admin who was running guns to the Mexican drug cartels. Using the IRS to target political enemies. Allowed US citizens to die in Benghazi because they couldn't decide what clothing for the rescue team to wear. Blamed a private citizen for the Benghazi attack and had him perp walked over a YouTube video. Wiretapped Trump tower and Trump campaign personal. Also unmasked names of any trump people involved in these surveillance to force Trunp to have to resign. Yup no scandals here lol RE: 8 years of suffering under Barack Obama - GMDino - 10-11-2017 (10-11-2017, 05:43 PM)StLucieBengal Wrote: Isn't this the same obama admin who was running guns to the Mexican drug cartels.

Those are Fox-news scandals, Lucy. They dissipate quickly outside Hannity-land. Even the fast and furious scandal, which Dino is ready to concede, was conocted pretty far from the White House.

The only reason I'll give a little on the gun operation is the caveat of it happened under his administration. The rest are fever dreams from a Trump supporter.

But, if we want to lump in the scandals of those who report to the POTUS, well, the list for the Trump White House dwarfs this one, and that list is from 8 years in office, Trumps is for less than a year. I think you might need to reevaluate your argument. |
