The only thing you're disputing is fixed America and there is no disputing that 2016 USA was better in almost every single measure than 2008-2009 USA.
Anyone can fix any country with US$1T/year deficit!!!
Sigh ... people need to realize what the Tea Party was trying to point out ... the original Tea Party of 2004+ (not the Obama-era Tea Party).
We don't have to agree with every policy
Yeah, f' the 1st Amendment, right to due process and let's send more money to the same entity that can declare endless war. Seriously dude?
And we Libertarians thought W. was a civil rights nightmare! Other than addressing police brutality, the Obama administration will go down in history as one of the most anti-civil rights administrations of the 21st century (along with W. and Trump)!
but America was never at risk under Obama.
Even Obama himself disputes that!
E.g., Obama admitted his foreign policy of 2009-2013 was dead wrong, and he put the US and NATO at great risk.
That said, most Americans prefer isolationism, so Obama wasn't exactly 'wrong' in that regard.
Of course, letting the Russians sell and deploy S-400 everywhere while the US withheld THAAD from our allies did look pretty stupid. Especially after North Korea showcased how they could hit virtually all of our allies ... then us.
But at least he admitted it, especially after his own GAO lambasted him on missile defense.
Things were easy street. The biggest news of like 6 whole months was about a gay wedding cake. That shit wouldn't even make the front page for a day today.
Huh? Apparently you've been reading the 'happy happy, joy joy" section of the MSM 'edible' brownie.
Civil rights took a nose dive under Obama. Heck, Obama wasn't even pro-marriage equality when he ran in 2008, and didn't change until re-election time, when the 'polls' changed to pro-marriage equality. So, just like Clinton, he followed MSM public opinion polls.
At least us true Liberals and Libertarians have been pro-marriage equality since before Clinton's DOMA.
