Absolutely no one could have stopped this. This is a ball that started rolling a long time ago.
discretionary military efforts ("kinetic" if you prefer)
increased
You forgot about how he went back on his word about the pullouts, too. Jeez, do your "I hate my president" homework.
an unpopular, flawed health care plan was forced on
the public
Yes. Our old healthcare sucked though, you had to expect some kind of change to happen. It's a pretty experimental form of light socialized medicine now. Rather risky move. No bueno.
inflation increased, especially in critical goods like food
and gasoline
Again, that was happening years before he took office. I'm surprised you aren't blaming Jimmy Carter or OPEC.
In the first half of his presidency, yeah... there wasn't a way to stop that, realistically. It's actually been consistently hovering around the upper 8's and lower 9's in terms of percentages since this time 2009.
the stimulus failed miserably
We know, gs. We know.
"transparency in government" became a laugh-line
for late night TV
Hasn't it been that way for like 12 years?
corruption in government accelerated to Chicago-style
warp speed
It's actually about as horrible as it's always been.
housing worsened and shows no sign of bottoming soon
When millions upon millions of people knowingly buy houses they can't afford, it's going to bite the market in the ass eventually.
government debt and spending spun out of control
You just said that like 3 bullet points ago. Running out of material?
Wall Street was bailed out but continues to enrich
themselves
As it's always done.
Main Street was ignored and becomes poorer as
bankruptcies and foreclosures mount
Covered that a minute ago. That's everybody's fault.
race relations appear to have worsened
And that's his fault? If you wanna play the race card as ammo for your attacks on Obama, that just takes the cake, man. You're off your gourd. Let's start with the election in '08 and recall all the Obama/Osama comparisons, or the fact that millions of voters were concerned with his being a"black Muslim running for president," or talking heads calling him racist... which of course gave mindless sheep like YOU an excuse to post dog crap like that!
There are many faults to find in this administration, and I'm shocked that you failed miserably at legitimately doing so. What are you good for, if not that?
