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.
  • The economy gained a net 11.5 million jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm.
  • Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 4.1 percent after inflation. The gain was 3.7 percent for just production and nonsupervisory employees.
  • After-tax corporate profits also set records, as did stock prices. The S&P 500 index rose 166 percent.
  • The number of people lacking health insurance dropped by 15 million. Premiums rose, but more slowly than before.
  • The federal debt owed to the public rose 128 percent. Deficits were rising as Obama departed.
  • Home prices rose 20 percent. But the home ownership rate hit the lowest point in half a century.
  • Illegal immigration declined: The Border Patrol caught 35 percent fewer people trying to get into the U.S. from Mexico.
  • Wind and solar power increased 369 percent. Coal production declined 38 percent. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel dropped 11 percent.
  • Production of handguns rose 192 percent, to a record level.
  • The murder rate dropped to the lowest on record in 2014, then rose and finished at about the same rate as when Obama took office.

Interesting read. There's lots of tidbits in the piece.

Not a perfect man and not a perfect president - there's no such thing. However he did some very good things given the situation he walked into and the obstruction he faced.
 
Obama's final numbers were 304 to 227.
 
I didn't read the link provided, but did it mention he had the third longest stock market rise in this country's history? All that wealth created, all those retirement account balances swelling, all that good news.

Considering it crashed because of deregulation to a system set to prevent crashes after the great depression, of course there’s no place to go but up. :rolleyes:
 
But what are the other numbers?

* How many tortured souls did he and Hillary hand-deliver to Satan?
* How many children did NASA abduct and send to Mars or Venus?
* How many Commie Atheist Muslim terrorists did he smuggle into USA?
* How many tunnels did he have dug under the border for smuggling?
* How many Soros-trained operatives did he infiltrate into the Deep State?
* How many times did he have the HAARP mind-control array energized?

There's more, but my voices tell me to shut up now.

But Republicans told us how awful things were during his eight years. That nothing good happened.

Are you saying they forgot the financial collapse under one of their own, not to mention the worst terrorist in U.S. history occurring during a Republican administration?

Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were responsible for those debacles... just ask the tinfoil hat man at Faux News, or the drug-addled Rush Limbaugh.

Got a link?

Even if that's true (which it's not), then why didn't W do anything about it for almost 7 years?
 
Tell that to trysail, ya big fuckhead. :D

He's got zero problems with graphs and images used as information sources. He's got a problem with me. And I don't care. Everyone needs a hobby I guess. One would think he'd find one more productive, but whatever. It's not really my problem. It's his.
