Here we go again, trying to change history that somehow Obama was this great compromiser. It's truly fascinating. He turned the economy around? How?
Repair US relations, with a reset button? The world is on 🔥 Yes he did stop our military from getting information from bad guys. And he did ruin our healthcare system which is getting ready to implode on itself |

I was responding your your allegation that Obama achieved nothing and that this was an indicator that he didn't compromise. I was pointing out that he got a lot done.
...and yet it was far worse under Bush and looks to be getting far worse under Trump. At least under Obama the US was only in conflict with its enemies, now it's also in conflict with its allies Ruined a system which was about the most expensive in the world but had some of the poorest outcomes in the developed world ? |

Yawn. You gave him the "label of a compromiser," whatever that means.
Obama was a centrist who tried to compromise over and over and was rebuffed by extreme, dishonest, racist Republicans. This is what happened in reality. I don't know what version you get from the deranged media spewing ******** that you gobble up so eagerly. |

I said that Obama wanted to compromise. I have no idea what you mean when you say "compromiser."
You transparently shifted from a discussion of whether Obama reached out to Republicans (which he did, over and over) to a standard of "completed compromises." It was fairly trivial to show the latter, given my familiarity with reality, but the primary dynamic of the Obama years was Obama trying to arrive at a compromise and being denied. Whether that is a "compromiser" or not, we can never know since you seem to have a different meaning for that term than those of use inhabiting reality. |

Well, yeah, which is why the fact that you think "not being an obstructionist" means "stepping out of the way" is so hilarious: you have no idea what compromise entails.
So let's add "compromise" to he list of words, like leftists, that mean absolutely nothing to you. |

A good compromise leaves both sides unhappy.
Under Obama, for Republicans it was all about not letting the President get anything done, even Romney's healthcare reform. |

JFC. Trump just admitted to Lester Holt that he *called FBI Director Comey* and *asked if he was under investigation*. https://twitter.com/rvawonk/status/862731538995310593 That admission cannot be good for Trump |

The GOP fundraiser/consulting firm whose offices are being searched by FBI is Strategic Campaign Group. Tied to guess who? MANAFORT. https://twitter.com/aliasvaughn/stat...44094023483394 |

It's time for Trump to leave the White House and turn over the presidency to someone who is capable of running the United States of America. |
