It does take time to rebound from a recession snd eight years in our oval office should have brought it well before Trump..Seems it only took Trump two even if you want to give credit to Bo..
The recession hurt the numbers very greatly. what you fail to give Obama credit for is that he did increase jobs, not just from the sad state of affairs of when he entered office, but more significantly, from the high point under Bush's term. He not only regained the jobs lost due to the recession, he gained more on top of that. If it hadn't been for the recession he had to counter, his ending numbers would have been far greater than what they were when he left office. Trump on the other hand, he came in during an upward trend and there is NO marked difference in the upward trend under Trump over what we saw under Obama so let us give credit where credit is due. It is much more difficult to turn around a recession than it is to continue an ongoing trend.

The bashing was for the obvious, he couldn’t /didn’t do much but bash our country in his apology tour and give the Middle East more money than he spent trying to get our country up and running..
If we owe an apology, we should grant that apology. That is called diplomacy. as for your assertion that we "gave" Iran more money than he spent turning the economy around... That one is so ill informed that I am left dumbfounded. We gave back $400 million of Iran's own money to them. This $400 million was never ours in the first place, it was always Iran's money, we just merely gave it back to them and we got 5 American prisoners in the exchange. We spent far more than that turning the recession around so I would love to see your math on that claim.

And look at the h**e and division / obstruction in last two years!!! Didn’t we have enough of that garbage before???
Much of the h**e and division in America is due to those that are hating being emboldened to do so because Trump has shown that it is alright by his own actions/words/defense and appreciation that he shows r****ts and h**ers. If you are referring to what is going on in congress, that isn't Obama's fault, I don't recall one story from ANY media outlet (preferably a respectable one that doesn't spin conspiracy theories) that has claimed that Obama has requested/encouraged congress to obstruct Trump's agenda.
If we are going to point fingers and assign blame, should we leave out the fact that the Republicans did the same things under Obama's administration. Again, you bias is showing that you would point the finger of blame at Democrats while holding Republicans blameless.

Yes, we SHOULD be working towards bipartisanship, TRUE bipartisanship, not "Democrats MUST pass Republican sponsored bills but Republicans don't need to help pass Democrat supported bills", that isn't true bipartisanship as much as you appear to like to think it is.

Sorry, I just don't see this claim being true, not with the way in which you bash ANYTHING/EVERYTHING Democrat and blindly back EVERYTHING Republican. Perhaps you should do some soul searching and find your true feelings.
As for me, I see the failings of both sides, while I may not point out every failing on either side, I do see failings on both sides and I point out those I feel most strongly against. I also tend to point out some I don't feel particularly strong about IF I feel the need to point out one side's hypocrisy. I truly AM an Independent, just because I don't like Trump doesn't make me a Democrat, I just see him for what he is. I have actually somewhat liked some Republican presidents, I have disapproved of some Democratic presidents.
I will admit this, other than Tricky Dicky (and I didn't absolutely h**e him), I have NEVER felt this strongly against ANY president prior to Trump. He has shown himself to be very immature/thin skinned, an illiterate moron, r****t, bigoted, misogynistic, narcissistic, authoritarian and a compulsive liar. None of those traits are favorable. Do I h**e Trump? I decided to ask myself that all too recently, the answer, yes, I suppose I do, but for very good reasons, none of which have to do with party affiliations or policy.
Your turn, why do you h**e Obama so much?
