Did anyone name the "issues"?

I thought it was :Comey" who thwarted her assault on the People...and I do understand that Clinton's devastating loss was blamed toward every direction but hers...and Obama's mixed racial heritage had nothing to do with him being the "enemy of the state.
Some of Obama's history is still a mystery....so who really knows how unbiased and truthful his legacy will be written in history?
One thing that is presently clear ...President Trump isn't opening the arms of freedom to a declared enemy who wishes to destroy us.

Here are just the top 35 things Obama accomplished

Civil Rights

Even before publicly embracing marital equality during his celebrated interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts on May 9th, 2012, Obama has championed civil rights for women, gays, Latinos, and other Americans, in addition to providing inspiration as our first African-American president.

The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act For Women: Named after a 70-year-old retiree who sued Goodyear Corporation for pay discrimination, this long-overdue amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 establishes that the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit for pay discrimination resets each time a new paycheck is issued. According to Obama, who signed the legislation on January 29th, 2009, the legislation sends “a clear message: That making our economy work means making sure it works for everybody … there are no second class citizens in our workplaces.”
Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act: Passed in honor of two young men who were brutally murdered — the first for being gay, and the second for being black — this legislation explicitly protects people from hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation, religion, color, gender identity, or disability. At a reception commemorating the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, on October 11th 2009, Obama said, “You understood that we must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break bones, but to break spirits — not only to inflict harm, but to instill fear.  You understand that the rights afforded every citizen under our Constitution mean nothing if we do not protect those rights.”
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act: Ended the prohibition of openly gay and lesbian people serving in the US Military. At the signing, on December 22nd, 2010, Obama declared, “your country needs you, your country wants you, and we will be honored to welcome you into the ranks of the finest military the world has ever known.”
Executive Order for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: When Congressional Republicans voted against passing the Dream Act — to help immigrants who arrived in the US as minors, but faced possible deportation as young adults — the president swiftly used existing legal authority to halt the deportations for young adults who arrived before age 16, have lived here for at least five years, have no criminal record, and are students, high school graduates, or military veterans in good standing. While signing the order on June 15th, 2012 Obama explained, “They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper.”
Appointed two women (one of whom is also Latina) to the Supreme Court:  Obama appointed Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court on August 6th, 2009, to replace David Souter. She is the 111th justice, the first Latina justice, and the third female justice. Elena Kagan was appointed to the Supreme Court to replace John Paul Stevens on August 5th, 2010. She is the  112th Justice and the fourth female Justice. These appointments enabled the two seats to remain liberal, and hopefully Obama will have opportunities to tip the balance with additional appointments during his second term.
Civil Rights History Project Act:  On January 15th, 2009,  Obama signed legislation directing the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute to work with the National Museum of African-American History and Culture to collect and archive writings, images, testimonies, video, audio recordings and other artifacts to document the history of the  American civil rights movement
Directive Extending Spouse Benefits for Gay Federal Employees: On June 2nd, 2010, Obama signed a directive extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, saying that it was  an “important step on the path to equality.”  This was in addition to a Presidential Memorandum declaring the rights of gay couples to visit each other in the hospital — like straight couples — and make medical decisions for each other earlier that year in April, 2010; and hiring more openly gay (out-of-the-closet) Federal appointees than any other president in our history.
First-Ever Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy position: To ensure representation from the disabled at the top levels of government, the White House created this new position . To show he was serious, Obama appointed long-time disability advocate Kareem Dale (who happens to be legally blind) on February 12th, 2009.
Created a White House Council on Women and Girls: With this executive order, signed on March 11th, 2009, Obama made a first step towards coordinating the federal government’s ability to respond to issues that effect women and girls — all female persons — in the US. Obama also expanded funding for the 1994 Violence Against Women Act.

Economic Recovery And Fighting Poverty
Despite a stubborn economy and — as of 2010 — an intransigent Republican House of Representatives determined not to let Obama or the Democrat-led Senate do anything to help an American public slammed by a recession created by Bush II and his supply side administration, the president managed to accomplish a great deal towards stopping the downward slide and getting America on the road to recovery. In 2010 alone, the United States created more jobs than in the entire eight years of George W. Bush’s supply-side administration (as per Ole Ole Oleson’s detailed analysis for NewsJunkie.com).
Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act (“Auto Bailout”): As a Senator (D-IL), Obama supported and voted for the bill, signed by his predecessor George W. Bush on December 10th, 2008. As president, Obama implemented this highly successful economic aid package which saved at least 1.14 million American jobs while revitalizing the US auto industry.
The Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry: Obama created this task force of experts to oversee the Auto Bailout and make recommendations to Chrysler and General Motors after lending $25 billion to these iconic auto companies. The task force first met in February 2009. By July 2009, both companies had emerged from bankruptcy.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“Stimulus Bill”): This largest-ever economic stimulus package stanched our economy’s bleeding red ink, and saved jobs by investing $787 billion in infrastructure, energy, health, education, tax incentives, and expansion of unemployment benefits. Obama signed this legislation on February 17, 2009. According to Reuters, the stimulus bill “boosted the economy by up to 3.5 percent and lowered the unemployment rate by up to 2.1 percent.” The Stimulus Bill also saved 300,000 education jobs, increased the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as “food stamps”) by $30 billion, provided $2 billion in new Neighborhood Stabilization Funds and $1.5 billion in Homelessness Prevention Funds, invested $3.95 billion in job training, increased unemployment benefits, and more (for a complete list, visit WhiteHouse.gov).
Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act: On April 21st, 2009, the president signed legislation that tripled the size of Americorps, and expanded national service programs to encourage and fund community-based volunteer efforts in critical areas of need. These programs have included disaster relief, infrastructure improvement, environmental and energy conservation.
Car Allowance Rebate System (“Cash for Clunkers”): On July 1st, 2009, Obama signed this $3 billion federal program to encourage citizens to cash in old automobiles and buy newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles into law. The program boosted auto sales and also probably pleased an awful lot of people who no longer had to endure the sight of their neighbors’ rusty old clunkers.
Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP): Although Obama entered office with this controversial legislation bailing out the “too big to fail” banks already signed into law by his predecessor George W. Bush on October 3, 2008, he made the best of it. His administration forced deep pay cuts for top executives, (see Kate Phillips’ post for The New York Times) and recovered almost all of the loans by 2010.

Healthcare Reform
As Rachel Maddow said shortly before Obama’s re-election, “After decades and decades of trying and failing, President Obama and the Democrats have achieved what was long thought unachievable: Real, comprehensive health reform in a country that had no health system whatsoever.”
Expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP): Reauthorized SCHIP and expanded health coverage by four million for a total of 11 million children whose families earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance. January 30, 2009.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”): The PPACA combines individual mandates, government subsidies, and tougher regulations on insurance companies towards ensuring universal health coverage for all Americans. When Obama signed this historic legislation into law on March 23rd, 2010 he declared that it strengthens “the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care.”
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act: This comprehensive amendment to the PPACA — signed by Obama on March 30th 2010 — is the biggest overhaul our healthcare system (or lack thereof) has undergone since the enactment of Medicare in 1965.
James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (“9/11 Health Bill”): Named after a police officer who died from a respiratory disease following rescue operations at Ground Zero on 9/11, this legislation funds ongoing health monitoring for all Ground Zero workers. Upon signing the bill on January 2nd, 2011, Obama said, “We will never forget the selfless courage demonstrated by the firefighters, police officers, and first responders who risked their lives to save others. I believe this is a critical step for those who continue to bear the physical scars of those attacks.”

Consumer Protection And Financial Reform
Public outrage over the abuses of the financial industry — after four decades of deregulation — gave Obama leverage for getting congress to enact key reforms and protections for consumers. Although we still have a long way to go until consumers’ rights and regulation of the financial industry are as strong as they were prior to the ‘Reagan Revolution,’ the following reforms are steps in the right direction.
Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act: On May 22nd, 2009, the president signed this bill to “establish fair and transparent practices relating to extending credit under an open end consumer credit plan, and for other purposes.”
Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act: Passed as a rider for the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act on March 30th, 2010, this legislation ended federal subsidies to banks and private lenders, and replaced subsidized private loans with direct government loans.The rider also increased Pell Grants.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: On July 21st, 2010, the president signed into law sweeping financial reforms to protect consumers from abusive lending practices, end “too big to fail,” and improve transparency and accountability in the financial services industry.  At a press conference, Obama said these are “the strongest consumer financial protections in history.”
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act: Enacted on June 22nd, 2009, this legislation increased regulations on the Tobacco industry — including advertising and warning labels on packaging — to reduce numbers of minors and young adult smokers.
Food Safety Modernization Act: On January 4th, 2011, Obama signed this comprehensive overhaul of our country’s food safety system into law. The FSMA expands the Food and Drug Administration’s powers, adds provisions for preventing (rather than just responding to) food contamination, improves collaboration and communications between food safety agencies, upgrade training for food safety personnel, increase oversight for imported foods, and give the FDA authority to issue mandatory food recalls when necessary.
Home Affordable Mortgage Act (HAMP): Enacted in 2009, this program was intended to stem the tide of foreclosures, and keep more economically stricken individuals in their homes by requiring banks to restructure mortgages for qualified home owners. Although banks bent the rules in their favor and kept foreclosing, HAMP and related legislation still saved some people’s homes, while giving others the time they needed to relocate. Since then, the Obama administration has expanded HAMP so more Americans qualify.

Education
The previously listed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“Stimulus Bill”) also made significant provisions to reverse the tide of spending cuts and shore up our K-12 and college education system. The Stimulus Bill invested $5 billion in Head Start and other early childhood education programs, $40 billion in state stabilization funds to prevent education cuts, $13 billion for Title 1 (low income) schools, $12 billion towards education for the disabled, as per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), $5 billion in incentive grants for states competing in “the race to the top,” and $2 billion for other education investments. An additional $30.8 billion was set aside for Pell Grants and other programs to make college more affordable, and $36 billion for modernizing schools. In addition, Obama reformed our b

Nickolai

He is also discovering that government is not a business and cannot be ran as such that, government is the art of compromise and about making friends not attacking and tweeting about your enemies

Nickolai

You should mention that the admitted assaulter of women who likes to grab beautiful women, kiss the, grad em by the pussy and they let you because he is a star, will also be found to have participated in money laundering with the Russians by the investigation committee

Nickolai

If he doesn't pardon himself President Pence will

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

There is no doubt that Donald Trump is not a regular politician ...he has to much transparency to the people by tweeting almost all current events except military procedures on the enemy until it's happened.
In previous administrations the media was always ahead of the military in the theater of battle.
Some parts of Government are all business and that is the reasoning for the White getting praise or blame for "JOBS" creation.
And to the would be spelling champs ..I realize it's "too" the people.

Nickolai

President Obama had more class, elegance, grace, and ability to articulate in his little finger than the old fat, egomaniacal billionaire blow hard has in his in his greedy gut fat ass

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

No one ever said that the Luciferians lacked appeal to the mentally corrupt..Obama is still the bright and morning star of hope to mindlessly blind followers.
May be the fact that they hope their messiahs political resurrection is on the horizon.
And if they persist in protesting President Trump ...they are sheep in their masters pasture of love...like O.J. loved on Nichole would be more accurate .

QuestGirl Loc: Jayhawk Country

You're the one that stated they were snickering, implying Trump. So, typically, you just contradicted yourself.

Your comment here at least clarifies.....

Ignorant snickering for Obama
Ignorant snickering for Trump

Does that sum it up?

cesspool jones Loc: atlanta

It's assholes who praise 1967 when liberalism went into overdrive and as each generation came and went...a piece of parenting got left behind who never learned from that, like you 2 pieces of shit. That's why you 2 little bitches remain as socially retarded as fucking clams on OPP. You both are in the crosshairs when this country rids itself of fucking assholes like both of you targets.

woodssprite 17

No, not snickering, Trump is an open laughing stock. Step out side your bubble of denial and take a look around. That sound you hear is the country laughing at the pathic excuse for a leader.

cesspool jones Loc: atlanta

What country you live in d!ckhead?!

woodssprite 17

The USA, and all the name calling and put downs in the world will not change the fact that Trump doesn't know the first thing about being president.

The original post of this thread spoke of "snickering". Did you not read it?
