I think it was just hate.

By Sincerely, American:

"Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'

Fair enough. Let’s take a look.

The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.

General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.

While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.

Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.

He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.

Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.

He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.

His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.

He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.

For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.

Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.

All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.

While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.

He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.

Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.

Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.

Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”

Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns........

He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.

He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?

If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: May we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."

I want a refund on every minute I spent in 8th grade learning that monopolies are illegal and that our government would protect us from greedy men....

[Covie @covie_93]

If you criticize 2.9% inflation under Biden but think 4.2% inflation under trump is no big deal you are in a cult.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

[DreamLeaf 🌱🌻 🍉 @DreamLeaf5]

Wow it’s almost like “tough on crime” doesn’t actually work and you have to address the root causes

[Jenni @hashjenni]

You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Isn’t it hypocritical to take a few Bible verses on sexuality and demand they be legislated over an entire country, while reducing over 2000 verses about wealth, care for the poor, the disabled, the vulnerable, and refugees to a private personal choice?

[JP Sears @AwakenWithJP]

Let me reframe this for you. This is the government questioning the government to see if the government covered up for the government in the Epstein files. Shockingly, the government told the government that the government did nothing wrong.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 HOLY SHIT.

CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.

And the wildest part?

One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.

Think about that.

[Thick Saban ✨ @RaveenTheDream]

Global anti blackness blows my mind bc black ppl did not globally ruin societies lol

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Republicans will look at you dead in the eye and tell you that we shouldn't feed kids.

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.

Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.

Brilliant!

[BMORE Reeta @theNFLchick]

Remember people said this was a hoax?

[Joseph O'Neill @JosephONeillx]

Can't overstate how important it is to celebrate and publicize these historic wins in the face of huge rightwing ideological & political apparatuses.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

[davey @jerseyh0mo]

His brand of politics is going to be the one that saves this country. He’s raising the bar and showing just how pathetic and ineffectual most politicians in this country actually are. Voters are starting to see that they deserve better. Amazing.
