When the economy under Obama finally started to grow, and unemployment started to come down, all we heard from conservatives was that the REAL indicator of the economy is the Labor Participation Rate. Well, let's see how it's doing: 62.9% in Jan of 2017 and is now 62.7%. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000 So is this a booming economy or not?
Why play crappy party political games? Obama was a waste of space. Trump is a child. But he's a child that was enabled by the conservatism of the Democrats. Get your house in order perhaps?
Economies come and go, but civil rights are forever. Obama (more accurately Biden), pushed for gay marriage. I'll always respect him for that. And also, Obamacare will eventually lead to medicare-for-all. The majority of the country is already there. It's only a matter of time.
Is that it? They pushed for the feckin obvious? You set the bar too low. Obamacare was *****. Look to 1945 Britain for historical perspective.
It wasn't obvious at the time. There is a deep strain of homophobia running through this country. It is ****, but it was the best that could be done under the circumstances, and cost Obama the House. Do you live in America?
So the great claim to fame is achieving an outcome that even alot of conservatives support? Wowsers! Nope. Fortunately I haven't had to suffer the ridiculous right wing politics of the Democrats. To be fair, they are beginning to break free from the irrelevance (e.g. the money orientated losing against political activist). Are you helping that process or are you going to be a mouthpiece of the right wingers pretending to be progressive?
40% of Republicans support it now. In 2012, when Obama came out in favor of it, it was 25%. He was taking a political chance (and it was Biden who pushed him on it). http://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/ The Democrats are bad enough. The Republicans are far far worse. Imagine your country being run by Jesus loving Ayn Randian gun nuts. I'm very far to the left.
Its minor stuff, relatively speaking. You seem to think "we have right wing cretin" is something to behold. Was there any real difference? Look, for example, at how easily they were prepared to kill foreigners. Are Democrat and Republican hawks any different? Your name tells me you're perhaps a little confused!
