    Beats the orange Messiah. Amazing how you cannot comprehend the difference when Obama took office and had to turn the country around because 700,000 jobs were being lost every month and compare it to trump who inherited Obamas growing economy month after month for years.... maybe you think Obama could have done a better job, I can understand that but to say he did nothing makes you either ill-informed or just hated Obama. Let’s hope that Trump can triple the stock market the way Obama did. You do remember Obama rescued the auto industry and gave millions and millions and millions of people the ability to see a doctor when they couldn’t before. What is it perfect? No This bleach blonde rod has you just where he wants you. I have never seen a pathological liar in the White House. I have never seen a president call his rivals school kids names. I have never seen a president so disrespected all over the world. Obviously these things don’t count to you we just have different values

    Obama? "TRIPLED THE STOCK MARKET"! :roflol:. Do you understand anything about how the Federal Reserve System "rescued" the stock market with all those QE's, "Operation Twist", crushing interest rates into the dirt, and other 'magic tricks' it used to get its gigantic 'fraud balloon' aloft (while taking on nearly a FIVE TRILLION DOLLAR "balance sheet" full of toxic, corporate trash?! Obviously not.... The Federal Reserve central banking cartel crushed every principle of a free-market capitalist system underfoot and dictated ALL economic policy! The Fed seized control of our economy twelve years ago, and now it will NEVER let it go again....

    And believe this if nothing else -- Comrade Obama (much like "W" Bush before him) was nothing but a simple-minded stooge for the Fed. Starting in August 2007, the Fed took over the ENTIRE economy, 'rescuing' whoever they wished, and picking all 'winners and losers'. How can it be put delicately...? Bush was the proverbial half-witted "deer-in-the-headlights" for Fed insider, Henry Paulson. And Obama? He served the function of being a politically-correct "house-pet" for twice-convicted tax-cheater, Tim Geithner (among others). Obama obediently kept his mouth shut and stayed out of the Fed's way... but YOU think that Barack Obama, who never held a REAL job in his whole damned life, "tripled the stock market"...?! I must be in Hell.... :frustrated:

    The standard of living is changing in our country because
    It went up about 148% under Obama.
    But it speaks volumes about you when you say that Obama never had a real job. I guess being a college professor doesn’t count. And do you think he was a community organizer for no salary? And oh by the way he met Michelle at the law firm he was hired at. He just wasn’t as lucky as Donald Trump who declared bankruptcy over and over and lied to people like you who believe anything he says when he said he was a great deal maker. It is being shown That he lost his mom more money than anyone else in a year. But you’ll still worship him and defend him. Because we know he is such an honest man LOL

    Depends on the situation. I don't like it when a performance is turned into politics. I have no problem with famous people having opinions. I don't like them using non-political stages to foist their politics on me. My problem with the Dixie Chicks is that they insulted our sitting President while on foreign soil. Just tackiness. Also shows that they were basically idiots. Country music fans are loyal. Had they not pissed us off, they'd still be making a nice living singing country songs. Pop fans aren't nearly as loyal.

    Our sitting president insults our sitting president (and our nation) on foreign soil every time he goes out of the country.

    it doesn't bother me as long as it's not preachy. People having political views doesn't bother me as long as it's not preachy. If you want to save the whales or vote for Bernie Sanders or whatever you have the right to do that if you want to try to get me involved in it no thank you.

    I stopped going to movies because they're so preachy.

    again as long as they're not be preachy. I'm okay with it unless it consumes too much of the show.

    well I remember listening to people comedians and so forth that insulted Barack Obama. That didn't bother me a bit. but they were comedians and they were political comedians. That being said I understand country music fans more likely to be Republican in to piss them off is to really piss off your entire fan base.

    This poll didn't have an option for medium happy, although that would have made the poll options too complex.

    America is probably as good, or nearly as good, a place to live in as all the other best countries in the world, despite all the outrageous problems and issues.
    If it wasn't there wouldn't be people coming from halfway around the world to resettle.

    And I wouldn't buy anything from him either. I'm #NeverTrump. I voted against him twice.

    When did comedians insult Barack Obama? I can't recall it happening more than once or twice. Heck, I think a typical night of TV has more humor at Trump's expense than humor at Obama's expense during his first term.

    I like geography and truth. Mexico is not in Asia.

    To this day many consider the land mass from California to the Rockies, down to Texas and the Southwest as part of Mexico. Makes sense since it was an area settled by Uto-Azteks long before Europeans invaded.

    Oh, NO... not that tired old bullshit again! Yeah, and before the Uto-Azteks (or whatever it was), the land 'belonged' to the animals!

    Hint: the land 'belongs' to whoever settles it, claims it, develops it, and defends it! Obviously, the Uto-Azteks didn't do a very good job of that... neither did the Spanish... neither did the Mexicans... and at the rate we're going -- neither are we citizens of the United States. If we don't stop this invasion, we'll be buried in all the sewage of every country from Mexico down to the bottom of South America!

    Conclusion: until this "migrant' crisis is finally resolved and eliminated from the Mexican side of the border, we need to SEAL THE BORDER WITH MEXICO SHUT!

    And that is not relevant at all to what we are talking about. Lets stick to the subject.

    you weren't listening to the right comics.

    That explains why you weren't listening to the comics you were watching TV. You aren't going to find anything funny on TV.

    Find some examples. I don't recall any. Now, I remember a lot of comics bashing both Bushes, Clinton and Reagan, but I can't remember much of anybody bashing Obama, at least not before the 4th year of his first term. After that, there were a few, but still nowhere near the amount that a single night of late night TV does to Trump. I bet you can't find 3 clips of comics bashing Obama in less than an hour after I post this.

    Micheal Berry for one. He referred to Obama as "The assclown and chief." Chris Baker. And several others mostly local
    Because you were looking in television. Attempting to find diversity of opinion on the television is a fool's errand. You have to get out of your 1980s mindset.

    it's because you are stuck on the television. You will never find diversity of opinion on the television.

    you must be a baby boomer or Gen xer. You think TV is all there is. it's amazing you don't see diversity of opinion when you don't use any media outside of television.
    I'm sorry to tell you this but people can exist in comic shows can exist without there being clips of them widely available. I bet I can't either.

    Your threshold of evidence is ridiculous backward and based in the 1980s. If the only immediate you consume is television you are brainwashed.

    Links to these comedians? Or do I simply take your word on it? I thought you millenials could get links to things like this...... My guess is you know I'm right, so you can't prove your point. (also, Michael Berry is a conservative radio talk show host, hardly a comic)

    Amazing how you can't comprehend that we had had a Democrat controlled Congress for two years and a lame duck President Bush. That you can't comprehend the job loss rate bottomed out the month Obama moved from the Democrat controlled congress that had done nothing to mitigate the recession and was rapidly receding and the recession ended before any Obama stimulus. That in fact his policies failed by their own measures and we had the worst recovery in modern history and that the more the Republicans took back power the better became the economy.

    The GOP fiscal malfeasance that caused the economic collapse was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by Bush jr!
