So what did Obama do for the average person? Oh, I... (

what a two sided question.. First, most of what he wanted done was for the average person. he was hampered not only by the economic catastrophe but by the obstruction of McConnell and his fellow republicans..
It his my view that President Obama greatest weakness was his belief that a consensus could be formed with the republicans in order to make the nation greater.
he was so mistaken.. even when he proposed a program that had been championed by republicans, they refused flat out when it had his name on it..
But to the point... Do you remember when Obama cut the payroll tax by about 50%?? Bet you do not.. done without much fanfare it was hardly noticed.. But when the limited time expired in about 2 years
I was yelled to the rafters that he had raised taxes.. all the while it was a tax cut for any who drew a paycheck.. Everything was clear, but changed by the right when they got a chance.. just more lying..
the ACA, even though you h**e it, the fact is that the policy was for America, the average were in dire need of a national health program and even many of the republicans made input to the bill.
then refused to v**e for it when needed..
As I favor our world, all of the things President Obama did to protect the environment and better the living conditions for so many of us is a great plus..
these and the work to slow C*****e C****e are great accomplishments and help for all Americans..
Now you cheer for the orange thing.. you yell about his "accomplishment". Never a mention of what you like most..
But as I look at the few thing he has done, they are all for the rich and the huge Corporations. which did not need a thing..
It is clear that the orange cretin is doing nothing that will help the average citizen in America..
You hooray for the tax cuts?? The typical worker got what, $20 to $40 more in the paycheck. temporarily..
Everyone will be paying far more than that in a few years when someone has to pay for all the gift to the rich.. and the soring national debt..
