It seems to me that with 2 years of pure Obama policy we didn't see any significant improvement so I'm not sure how Republicans jumping on that train would have fixed anything. Basically, the improvements really started to take hold once the Democratic policies were put in check.
as was the case with Clinton-who had the benefit of the dot.com bubble. Newt made Clinton successful
Under Obama, we had the longest streak of private sector job growth in history. That's a fact.
U.S. enjoying its longest-lasting streak of jobs growth
When Obama took office we were losing more jobs than any time in 34 years. The economy was a disaster. The DOW was bellow 8,000 and falling. That's a fact.
The economy changed directions under Obama. We recovered from one of the biggest recessions in our history under Obama.
Why can't you swallow your pride and admit Obama did a good job?

Because he was a mixed-race Democrat, more popular than their lord Reagan, elected twice. For cons, there is no forgiving crimes as heinous as those!

Except that we don't care what race he is... That's a lie perpetuated by liberals who simply can't conceive of the fact that he was so grossly under-qualified. By playing the race card, you get to ignore the FACT that you voted for guy with so little leadership experience that had he entered the private sector, he was "jr. law partner" material at best.

Let me ask you this - what happened to your celebrated "Tea Bagger" movement? They seem to have appeared when Obama was elected and disappeared when Obama went away. Lets not forget about the racist "birther" movement led for 5 years by your lord and savior, Trump.
Finally if you're going to criticize some one for lack of experience, you can't get any worse than Trump with zero government experience. Trump's only leadership experience was his own private company where he enjoyed zero external accountability, four bankruptcies and wealth we're just going to have to trust Trump on since he's afraid to release his tax returns. I guess lack of leadership only works for you when it's a white guy elected president?
I'm sorry, the bulk of hatred against Obama by right-wing nuts had everything to do with race.
I accept your apology
You have to love the GOP partisan hacks on this thread. When a Republican is president and the economy is good, it's because of the president's policies. When a Republican is president and the economy is bad, it's the Democrats fault. When a Democrat is president and the economy is good, it's because of the GOP. When a Democrat is president and the economy is bad, it's because of the president's policies. Their political masters have groomed them well.
Trump was so uniquely unqualified to be president, half of the GOP, including their former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, BEGGED them not to vote for Trump. Never in history until 2015/2016 has a political party begged their voters not to support a presidential candidate that was a member of their own party the way the GOP did with Trump.
so you aren't posting hackish stuff?
uh that's because Trump attacked the GOP establishment.
That's because IT TAKES TIME TO CHANGE THINGS. It's not like this Trump fantasy where he steps into office and the first month he starts claiming credit for the economy. A basic principle of science is it takes work to produce change. And a large mass with a lot of momentum requires a lot of work to change its direction.
Why not stop the charade? If the economy is good one year after Obama and it hasn't changed directions then Obama did a good job. Hopefully, Trump does a good job too.
Ike was a good Republican president. Of course, he wasn't particularly conservative, so...

Kennedy was a decent Dem president
cut taxes, was an NRA member, a war hero and started the special forces
he'd have the snowflake brigade turned into a tidal wave by now

That was lame... The kind of lame that you see when a 7th grade boy tries to ask out a High School senior cheerleader. You start out with name calling, follow that up with playing the race card, throwing the birfer dimwits (who were the result of openly admitted manipulation by the OA), then throwing out the stupid comments about Pres. Trump being my lord and savior.
Pres. Obama had almost no executive experience and only minimal political experience. Pres. Trump has massive executive experience and no political experience outside of having to work with politicians very frequently.
The issue that 99.99% of conservatives had with Pres. Obama was that he was grossly unqualified. We couldn't care less about his race, that's an issue that liberals focus on. Would you like to have some proof of that?? If we were so racist, then why is it that if asked most conservatives if they thought Condaleeza Rice would make a good President, the response would an overwhelming and resounding "OH HELL YES!!!"
I'm an NRA member as well. You're under the assumption that everyone who opposes your lousy political party and corrupt president is a liberal on every issue.
Of course, Trump was pro gun control, bashed war heroes, and is the ultimate snow flake, so I'm not sure where you are getting at. Kennedy may not have a lot in common with today's Democrats, but he would have basically nothing in common with Trump's GOP. Hell, the two previous GOP president's have nothing in common with Trump's GOP.
it has to be racist because Obama is absolutely perfect in fact he's the Messiah and we should worship him because of his perfection the only reason anyone would disagree with him because his skin color it has nothing to do with his beliefs or political opinions don't even exist.The only thing lame here are your denials. Who was the lead "birfer dimwit"? It was Trump, the loser cons voted into office embracing his racist tirades about Obama's birth certificate, people from Mexico being rapists, trying to ban all Muslims from the US and lying about "thousands of Muslims cheering as the twin towers fell".
You probably think the Trump tower meeting with Putin's representatives was all about adoption?
C'mon, man. Just admit cons rejected Obama mostly because he was a mixed race Democrat and are embracing Trump because of his white supremacist appeal.
so you are upset Trump won? BFD. he wasn't my first or second choice but he sure was a better choice than Hillary who would be picking far left judges now

I can't believe someone can lack self-awareness to the degree at which you do.
Everybody and anybody that disagrees with you is racist.
A DP member with your lean and signature accusing others of lacking self-awareness and denying racism exists on the right. This is probably the most extreme case of "pot meet kettle" I've seen in quite some time.
