Why Obama is one of the most consequential presidents in American history

[@Vox]

One of President Obama's keystone legislations, the Affordable Care Act, has created a contentious legacy even among those who benefit from it. We traveled to Kentucky, to speak directly with Obamacare recipients planning to vote for Donald Trump: bit.ly/2Foh6pd

[@josephmarc5137]

Vox totally disagree. The same problems that afflict this nation are present today. His first two years should’ve birthed universal healthcare, amendments for campaign finance reform, raising of the national minimum wage, curbing monopolies, etc. His presidency was a lost opportunity.

[@MarsM13]

He was consequential mainly because his bland establishment centrism lead directly to Trump. He talked a lot about change at a time when the country desperately wanted real change, and then enacted economic policies that were pretty much in line with moderate Republicans, including "obamacare" which was really just a renamed "Romneycare", being mostly a giveaway to Big Pharma. America needs to join the rest of the civilized world in having universal government healthcare, but Obama never even considered that option even when he had a Democratic majority in congress. About the only thing you can say in his favor is he was decent on a few overwhelmingly popular social issues like gay marriage, but on economic issues? You could have replaced him with someone like Kasich and not seen a lick of difference.

[@answerman86]

You have forgotten this: (trumps accomplishments)

[@answerman86]

, You need to do a little reevaluation. You have let the state propaganda machine (the Globalist/Leftist corporate conglomerate news outlets) mold your mind, formulate your opinions and turn you into Marxist programmed parrot spewing out ignorant commie/Marxist viewpoints. Why do you align yourself with the deep state shadow government that has hijacked our nation and in the process of installing and intolerant, totalitarian police state that will transform your purpose for existence from "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" to "TO SERVE THE STATE" ??????? Making America great again is not a slogan, it is the vision . You Obama loving Libtard Trump haters are indoctrinated nitwits that have become both unhinged and demented with your actually very baseless and unwarranted fanatical Trump hatred. I will be amazed if those demons running your Leftist minds will even allow you guys to read any of it, much less allow you to make a positive comment about it. Trump's Accomplishments: (the main ones, not a complete list) Just compare with the destructive accomplishments of Obama against America (below) TRUMPS ACCOMPLISHMENTS: (Not a complete list, just a few of 18 pages worth) Compare to Obama's all negative accomplishments 1) Trump has gotten the economy booming, by incentivizing business through tax cuts, business friendly policies & especially Eliminating Obama's Deliberate Business Hampering Over-regulating 2) Trump has brought about an exponential rising of the stock market to all-time highs through both the confidence he has inspired and through his policies. 3) The lowest black and other minority unemployment rate, we have ever had since the recording of it began. 4) He has lowered our taxes. 5) Trade deals with other countries greatly improved. What CNN told you about this is that Trump was rude to our NATO allies, and that his threats of tariffs would bring disaster. (But they have only brought really good deals beneficial to America) 6) He has gotten North Korea to be co-operative and come to the negotiating table with the promise of dismantling their nuclear program. 7) He has slowed down the importation of Muslims whose very political religion is totally incompatible with democracy and our Constitution and allows no allegiance to our government. Hillary actually said that she intended to increase Muslim refugee Immigration by 550% & that is a fact 8) Through getting Russia's cooperation and assistance, he has dismantles, destroyed and scattered what was left of ISIS. Obama had 8 years to do that, but made NO attempt at all, because he chose to instead, actually assist in the creating of ISIS, and then deliberately pulled all our soldiers out of Iraq, leaving our equipment there for them to take possession of. Do your own research, because you should get the full story which proves Obama wanted to help the Muslims form a Mideast (and then worldwide) caliphate. 9) He exposed the globalist deep state and it's corrupt, subversive shadow government that has been taking over our country, and he is fighting it, AS PROMISED throwing them into a hate filled hysterical panic because he is a threat, that if he wins will cause them to lose everything, including the freedom of many of them over there traitorous & treacherous tyranny that you have known nothing of, but if you're paying attention, it's all coming out, although CNN, etc. Is trying to hide and cover it and say it's fraudulent, because they are fraudulent. The FBI, CIA, Department of Justice, homeland security and IRS have been weaponised against tradition and conservativism and it's now corrupted to the hilt. It is the globalist agenda that has been taking over and that is totally Marxist as the one world government is planned to be. It has been going on for many years but was accelerated exponentially during the Obama years. (That is the very purpose for which he was selected for us) 10) He exposed and is continuing to expose the Globalist /Leftist, Fake News that is scripted by the globalist elitists at the top, whose agenda it is to bring us down, making us equal to other countries. For their agenda to be fulfilled, we must give up our personal and individual freedoms, our guns, our free speech, and our national sovereignty, all to be given over to the authority of unelected elites of a one world government who expect us to do with less for the greater good. They do view us like we are a bunch of sheep that need to be managed. (for their benefit) About Trump exposing this fake news, All these globalist owned news organizations like CNN, accuse Trump of Attacking 'The Free Press'. But in reality it is no more of a free press than the old Soviet Union's Marxist commie propaganda paper "Provda" (Russian for truth) LOL There are only 6 corporate conglomerates from where all news is disseminated. And they all report on the same things and even in the same words, as they leave out most of what we should be knowing. 11) So far he got us 200,000,000,000 (200 Billion) from other countries for the defense we have been providing for them, that they have been very delinquent in paying for. Again, CNN said that Trump was rude to our allies, without mentioning his success. 12) He got the Keystone pipeline, that Obama had shut down, back in the planning for construction. 13) He has got the coal industry back and running with "Clean Coal". (Just one more of Obama's policies to slow us down and keep us down) . Whether that is the intent or not, that is always the effect of the policies of the left ---- if it feels good or makes me feel good about myself, do it, but don't bother to look at the unplanned unexpected consequences. As I have said before, look at any long-term Democrat only runs city and you will see its disastrous effects. Chicago, Detroit, Flint and Dearborn, Michigan, Oakland, San Francisco, etc. Etc -- and I dare you to put San Francisco Today in your KZbin address bar and see what has happened there. 14) brought down (way down) the number of people needing to be on food stamps 15) MS13 & Other Gang being broken up, jailed, deported and disbanded. 16) Has fulfilled Obama's failed promise to have the most transparent presidency ever 17) He got our imprisoned American pastor back from Turkey, which probably any other president would not have been tough and determined enough to be able to do., 18) Trump got our American Embassy in Israel finally transferred over to Jerusalem, something other president had said they were going to do, but never did. Trump is Restoring America, and doing so beyond its previous greatness, rather than fulfilling Obama's promised to Fundamentally Change America, as Hillary would have continued to do and likely finalized. (obviously with Marxism & all the controls, lack of freedom and other bad stuff that goes with Marxism) You left wing morons are trying to usher in a ruthless police state. You are possessed of a demonic illness you don't know you have and projected onto the decent God-fearing productive & patriotic people of this nation who holds Truth, Honesty & Integrity as their prime values. The very qualities that are an impediment to your agenda.

Obama, for me, set the standard for what a president should be. I was 8 years old when he was elected and I never understood my conservative parents complaints of him, just seeing him speak at that young age made me feel inspired, admiration, and proud to be an American. When I was 15 (2015), due to my parents consistent bad mouthing, I started to believe that I might have admired him because I was a child during his election and the nostalgia had only warped my perception of him. It wasn't until the 2016 election that I truly appreciated Barack Obama, his administration, and what they did for this country. Although, I find it interesting that, even as a kid, I could see his good character despite what I was told from my parents.

[@cthuncanthealyoubutican]

I was inspired by him too, though I was a 16 yo Russian kid, and I doubt our official media tried to say something good about him. And many "patriots" hate him, but it just doesn't make sense to me, sometimes your opinion is strong enough to not be bothered by opinion of others.

+A Small But Decently Priced Ham Can you expound on this? Trying to get educated here lol

[@qwakqwak]

+A Small But Decently Priced Ham Actually, you aren't exactly right. Sure, Bernie would greatly raise taxes on the rich, but he would also raise taxes on the middle class. This seems bad at first, but if you look at the savings from a single payer system, then most people (except the extremely wealthy) will end up saving money. You say we shouldn't elect a President because Congress will veto his policies? Maybe that'll be the case, but, say he does do some things than will pave the way for his ideas to be reality one day. They aren't radical ideas, either. We're the only major country in the world that doesn't provide healthcare as a right to all people. If you say other countries can only do it because they're small, or for some other reason, know that America is the richest country in the history of the world. You also say that it's not fair that the rich pay higher taxes. Actually, it is. Here's why - The way it's set up allows the rich to get richer, and makes the middle class disappear. The rich can afford to stash their money in tax havens, like Panama (see the Panama Papers), the Cayman Islands, and even in some places within our own country. This makes huge corporations, like Walmart, or Verizon pay hardly any taxes. That's not fair at all. You also claim that the rich stimulate the economy by investing, and buying things, and selling their employees. Sure, they do some of that, but the vast majority of them actually DO sit on their wealth. (business.financialpost.com/news/economy/the-worlds-richest-people-are-sitting-on-gigantic-piles-of-cash-that-arent-earning-them-anything) You're idea of the rich spending money to help the economy is called supply-side economics. Some people call it Reganomics, or Trickle-down economics. People that aren't for it, may also call it voodoo economics. It doesn't work. As Bernie says, "Change never takes place from the top down. It always takes place from the bottom up" Hope this helps

I also believe Obama's presidency to be one of the most consequential not just for what he did in his 8 year tenure but for what has come from it: Both Trump and Biden are directly linked to the Obama presidency in some way, Trump got in dramatically after that joke Obama made at the correspondents' dinner (although we all know he got in because of his taxes), but in his presidency he made his task to basically try and erase as many accomplishments Obama had made and Biden, being Obama's VP got in as a response to Trump's mishandling of the Charlottesville rally and promises to build on what Obama has already estabilished, primarily the ACA, expanding it to include a public option. In a way, Obama has been shaping the White House ever since he got in and has never truly left.

I agree, but you missed probably the biggest accomplishment, of the Obama years, saving the economy from ruin. People underestimate the state of the economy after the crash of 2008. That crash almost destroyed capitalism as we know it, the biggest banks and financial institutions were broke, no one had money to lend, and the biggest companies were falling one after the other. The crash spread around the world. His policies avoided a 1930's style depression and the economy was rescued without major pain for the population. Thats a huge deal., and Obama was up against a very hostile republican party, that opposed everything. History will show Obama's presidency as a success, a huge contrast to the previous 8 years of Bush/Republicans.

[@adamtaylor1739]

+tubester4567 Yeah, completely agree

[@Chadwickyboy]

He encouraged the banks to continue risky business as usual by lending tax payer money to them. And the economy is in yet another bubble directly because of his actions. The tough but moral decision would've been to let free market capitalism take its course.

[@ThZuao]

Obama simply delayed the problem and re-secured what banks craved, that was for the Government to bail them out whenever things go bad because of their own irresponsibility. That made banks even more secure in taking toxic credit deals. That was what started the problem in the first place. If it really "rescued" the economy, is debatable. The problem started with government both pressing and complying banks to take riskier business practices. If we had left Free-Market Natural Selection flow, making banks either play by the rules instead of getting greedy with taxpayer money, the problem would had been avoided.

[@rrmoviemaker]

+Thauã Aguirre only the problem is that the taxpayers have their money in the bank, so if the bank fails, the people and the governement have to pay up, or else the entire economy collapses.

He didn't do anything about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide (what happened in Mogadishu scared him from acting) He passed The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (aka the 1994 crime bill), the largest crime bill in US history and it still has ramifications today. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing (still the largest incident of domestic terrorism in US history) The 1998 United States embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya The Monica Lewinsky Sex Scandal The 1999 Columbine High School Shooting The USS Cole bombing in 2000 (executed by Al-Qaeda)

They appeared to be great parents. She is a lovely, intelligent and graceful woman who showed you can be all of that and also be direct, sensitive and powerful.

[@meganh9460]

I don't. I thought Obama really tried to work with conservatives for the first few years but the tea party was too powerful and the republican party too polarized. Any time a democrat tries to work with republicans to get something done, they get voted out of office and visa versa. They knew fighting obama would get them reelected, working with obama might get them fired. One of the things conservatives prided themselves on was working with democrats while they were in office to make sure the country came first. That died with disco.

I'm not American, but I personally think that Obama was the best president and that his family deserves even more respect than they were given. While America is a "diverse" country, they still have a significant divide between black Americans and white Americans. Obama and his family had to live up to a much higher bar than any other president, and even when stacked against all the odds, they came through and rose above the highest bar forced upon them, becoming even better than anyone ever expected. This video certainly made me want to cry
