Lies, damn lies and statistics. You being a Canadian . . .
I do not have that honor. I was born in Ohio and I live in Florida. And I'm so white I glow in the dark.

Yea....malevolent would be more accurate.
What, exactly, was malevolent about her platform?
uhh hua.....tell us more about your great messiah Obama and all the ways he made your life the best ever.![]()
For me, personally, under the Obama administration I had recently gotten too old for KCHIP, and the medicare expansion under Obamacare in the state of Ky combined with the BIA insurance completely covered me, and allowed me to have a bunch of necessary medical procedures I was putting off including but not limited to- precancer screenings (I had had bone cancer as a child and once my KCHIP ran out I had a copay that I couldn't afford to have checkups for this. When you have bone cancer you don't get cured, you just go into remission. It can come back at any time.) eye exams and a new pair of glasses to replace the ones I had had, at that point, for four years, dental care, prescription drug coverage, psychiatric healthcare that allowed me to confirm my childhood diagnoses, get a SHITTON of therapy, medication to fix my chemical imbalance, which before that I had just been letting go, which, predictably, made me crazy, REAL drug rehab so I didn't have to go to NA and methadone clinics and pretend that was doing anything- and allowed me to get my fucking life together. I genuinely was in a really bad place, and if those programs didn't exist? I'd probably be straight-up dead. Some people here knew me when I was going through this, and can attest to it.
Additionally, this new coverage covered my girlfriend during her pregnancy, and allowed us to bring a healthy, happy baby into the world. Afterwards, I went back to school on a grant program that was put into place by the Obamas specifically to help recovering addicts, but did receive additional support from a variety of programs stretching all the way back to the 1970s.
Though the program I used to get my cell at the time was actually began under the Regan administration, the Obama administration expanded it to cover cell phones, not just home phones.
I got my electricity using a 'payback' program for green energy and now I don't have to pay the power company one red cent because my house is completely off the grid. This was a program, again, instigated by the Obama administration.
I worked as an accountant at the time (the company I worked for paid for my schooling and I paid for my certification out-of-pocket. Barry didn't do that for me) and I can say that I was pretty happy with the tax code. The EIC and child tax credits had both been expanded to help low-income and middle-class families- and though I certainly did have some underlying skill, I can't help but think that the numerous credits to take advantage of helped me get more clients, referrals, and overall make more money to support myself and my growing family.
Barry wasn't perfect, but dude did a lot for me, personally. And I don't forget the people who helped me. You're never going to find a "perfect" political candidate. But if you want to know how he personally helped me? It literally changed my life. I was a strung-out druggie in rural Appalachia. These programs were almost tailor made for my exact situation. That administration did a HELL of a lot more for me than homeboy Mitch did- and I will NEVER forget that. The fact that he actively worked against me, and he was supposed to be the one fighting for me, is going to sit with me for the rest of my life.

Still waiting for all those amazing Trump stories.
This is a prime example of the philosophical difference between democrats and republicans. Democrats believe the government should provide for them their healthcare, schooling, and their cheese. Republicans basically want government to get out of their way and have a kick ass m8litary.
Watching liberals' heads explode is a neverending, free source of entertainment.![]()

Oh look. Another lefty calling someone stupid. One would think if the lefties were so smart, they would be perpetually in power.![]()
OP addresses Republicans specifically, so no it's not.

No, he was talking directly to you.
So, you're just an asshole.![]()

It's okay ken, nobody likes you anyways.
Some are up to being free people in a free country, others enjoy the feel of a boot on their neck and like to live at the mercy of others.
I'm sure that stung to the bone.![]()
