MrZep420 If anybody claims that Obama had no effect on the saving of the U.S. Auto Industry they either have to be dumb or blind. The bailouts he allocated to American auto companies, as well as the restructuring of GM and Chrysler, gave auto companies the lift they needed to pull themselves out of the economic crisis they were facing. The auto industry in 2008 vs. the auto Industry in 2016 are polar opposites and Obama should get the credit he deserves for that. And by the way recent news reports show that Trump is on track to have added over a trillion dollars to the deficit by 2020 and he's not even halfway through his first term. Absolutely hypocritical for Republicans to complain about Obama's deficit spending when the current administration is spending even more. It's true that the economy is doing well under Trump, but I think we all can see that it's much harder to create a fantastic economy when you start your presidency during the middle of one of the worst recessions in our history like President Obama did. Not to mention, the guy's gonna ruin all the economic growth we are seeing with his ill advised trade war that's killing our farmers. If you or anyone else wants to say that the economy didn't improve substantially during Obama's presidency as compared to where it was in 2008, then you're just lying or ignorant of the facts.

And I'm just reporting, he has said that climate change is a hoax, that regulations should be scrapped, taxes on the top earners lowered, trade should not be free but "fair" (yeah, but who decides what's fair?), and so on. You may agree with everything he says but realize there is an opposing view.

Have you no shame? Why you are endorsing Obama, a war criminal? This is attack on progressives and on American values. STOP whitewashing Obama! Obama is the problem, not the solution. The Trump Putin summit in Helsinki which so many found so shameful and ended our “American Exceptionalism” fantasy, would not have been possible but for the moral equivalence between the Russian authoritarian regime and our government which gives lip service to our "democracy" and "core values." Thanks to Obama and the tag-team of presidents before him, we have lost our moral high ground. We are no “shining city on the hill.” And you want to celebrate this debacle by bringing back one the chief culprits of our national humiliation? Shame on you. No more word games and steering speeches. No more “false Hope and trump Change.” Broken promises and open doors to cons and thieves. We demand results, not deals with the other side -- the corporatists. No gives and takes that sets the stage for future rip offs … No to the Obama-Trump “Good Cop, Bad Cop” charade. We need real progress. But for Obama, Trump would not have happened and here you are letting that chill back into our homes. Here ares just SOME of the criminal filth Obama and the so-called “New Democrats” (aka corporate dems) accomplished and how that opened the door for Trump and his nefarious regime to grow and fester: The abolition of welfare: no social security, no medicare/medicaid, no food stamps, etc., The deregulation of the financial system, The illegal attacks on Syria, The illegal attacks on Yemen, The bailout of Wall Street, ($700 Billion TARP), The $4.7 Trillion “Quantitative Easing” handout to the financial sector, The crackdown on whistleblowers (e.g. Snowdon, others), The crackdown on the Water Protectors at Standing Rock, belies Obama’s “Clean Power Plan” was mere lip service, The crackdown on Occupy, The attack on freedom of the press, saying “reporter's privilege” does not exist (Jim Risen case) The refusal to pardon whistleblowers (e.g. Snowdon, Van Buren, more), The slashing of wages for autoworkers, The appointment of Tom Wheeler, an industry insider, to head the FCC (thence Ajit Pai), The Flint Michigan lead in the water cover up, outright betraying the citizens of Flint, The staging of war games using live ammunition in Flint Michigan without warning, intimidating the citizens, Drone-missile warfare with no congressional oversight, The destruction of Libya, The build-up of NSA mass surveillance, The expansion of US military bases to 80+ countries, The weakening on the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act to allow the use military force domestically The military coup in Honduras ousting “Mel” Zelaya, The murder of Berta Cáceres, Mass deportations, more than in any other period in US history, Mass incarcerations, CIA Operation Timber Sycamore in Syria, The parliamentary coup in Brazil, ousting Dilma Rousseff, Blocking Argentina’s loan at the Inter-American Development Bank and the WB, leading to regime change The expansion of the Endless War in Afghanistan, The murder of an old, sick captive purely for political purposes, Manipulating the OAS to overturn the Haiti elections, threatening to deny post-earthquake aide, leading to regime change and mass disenfranchisement, The expansion of the strategic nuclear weapons program, The kill list The expansion of covert military operations to over 70 countries, The expansion of the AUMF The revolving door: The appointment of former Eli Lilly executive, Alex Azar, to head of HHS The revolving door: The lucrative position at Lockheed Martin for former DHS head Jeh Johnson The revolving door: Geitner to head Mariner Finance, a firm that preys on the poor. The revolving door: Mary Shapiro from the SEC to board of directors of Morgan Stanley The end of habeas corpus, detentions without trial and arrests without cause The failure to stop Russia for meddling in the 2016 Presidential elections The failure to punish Russia for meddling in the 2016 Presidential elections, (what got Trump in trouble in Helsinki . . . they looked the other way when Obama did the same thing) The missing $10 Trillion; concerted Bush-Obama-Trump tax cuts resulted in the loss of $10T from the public funds of which $2T went directly to the 1% The passing of PROMESA Act to protect Wall Street’s interests in Puerto Rico at the expense of local sovereignty: an outside board rules over the island, effectively PR is now a colony, The appointment of Arne Starkey Duncan as Sec. of Education: Common Core Exam, public schools replace with charter schools -- so-called ‘militarization of education” that enabled De Vos, Bailing out the banks while 10 million Americans lost their homes, NOT standing up to climate-change deniers; NOT standing up to science deniers; NOT definitively supporting the Water Protectors and shutting down DAPL -- thus opening the door to Trump’s staunch denialism and the US pulling out of the Paris Agreement, Allowing Ag industry lobbyist, CropLife, to kickoff the EPA panel Dr. Peter Infante; the panel was about to investigate Monsanto’s glyphosate-based flagship product, RoundUp, The unwillingness to investigate or prosecute Bush Administration officials for warrantless wiretapping and torture, kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKWJm7ehmrO1pM4.html “we need to look forward,” The continuation of warrantless wiretapping and torture, The failure to hold the Russians accountable for election interfering, The failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for 9/11, The failure to hold Israel accountable for Gaza, The failure to give Leonard Peltier clemency, Continuing to prop up the myth that the US cares about human rights, Massively increasing weapon sales to Saudi Arabia to record levels, Endorsing Mohammed bin Salaman, The reluctance to condemn the 2009 Honduras coup d’etat, Adopting the pro-corporation “regulatory takings” doctrine, eg archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/gwire/2009/07/21/21greenwire-obama-admin-declines-to-appeal-key-water-right-15864.html?pagewanted=all Using snipers to kill individuals targeted by the CIA as “anti-American” in over 134 countries without the consent of the government concerned, see kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWyi0rKMcpyWirg.html starting at minute 25:30 . . . every week we discover yet more Obama-era/ Obama-enabled atrocities that set the stage of Trump! Nothing Trump has done is new. It’s all based on something Obama and the corporate Dems set up. Obama basically made possible the Trump wrecking ball. Talk about collusion. Talk about treason. That’s the real collusion. That's the real treason. Our struggle is less and less with Russia and more and more with Goldman Sachs, the main backer and beneficiary of the Obama swindle. Many others are making the conclusions as I am, for example www.counterpunch.org/2018/10/19/the-pieties-of-the-liberal-class/ Ever wonder why Obama has such a contagious smile? Turns out he’s laughing all the way to the bank. So what’s next for Goldman Sachs, Obama’s paymasters? IMHO, The old “hope and change” deception wagon; specifically, the hijacking of Universal Basic Income movement, the UBI movement. Wall Street’s Goals? Restore Obama’s standing among democrats, Shut out progressives, Keep UBI from actually happening, or take the credit if it does, so progressives don’t.

bleep77 Lmfao....... your an idiot who's easily fooled by a silver tongue devil. He will not be missed at all.....have you not heard ? the hillary/obama era was rejected ! All his domestic and foreign policies are complete failures, a complete stagnant economy since the day he took office , incomes dropped taxes raised ,he would not listen to ALL advisers when he took all troops out of Iraq which he was told would be a grave mistake before he did it. Barach hussain didn't care or believe the people who knew......That stupid decision gave birth to Isis.... ..you know the Islamic terrorists that now threatens the world almost daily ! This failed community organizing president .....who's home town has more murders than the entire Iraq war and did not lift one single finger to help...........will in no way be missed.... .. even the minorities call him a failure. But hey......he's the president who's taken the most vacations , played more golf ,and more time off than any president in history . Flip side......Trump is only the president elect.....not in office till January and yet he's already negotiated with Ford to not building their car plant in Mexico taking jobs away from American union workers . ..... He's also been negotiating......through Thanksgiving day ! with Carrier to not set up shop and ship thousands of jobs out of our country.... barach hussain had 8 years and didn't even accomplish what Trump has in a few days. barach will be missed by foreign countries only...... wake up and open your eyes

Look who is getting theses awards ,makes me vomit.

I am not an American. 44th President Barack H. Obama was not just the 1st Black American President... But the MOST HUMBLE, AMAZING, AND JUST SO MANY GOOD IN THIS MAN WHO NEVER FAILS TO BRING JOY & MAKE MANY SMILE/LAUGH. MAY GOD BLESS HIM ,MICHELLE & FAMILY. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

UNTIL it was found that he himself was abusing opioids. His Mexican house keeper would get scripts in her name for him. Do you remember that...

Imagine hearing how much your work is loved and applaused and appreciated throughtout generations. And being said 'you lived well and you help shaped our lives and made today possible and inspired many ppl to work and be like you' These are ppl i take my hat off to and bow with respect to and i am sure many ppl who knew them and many others who didn't till this event feel the same.
