False. It is spreading.
Has he kept America safe during his presidency? There have been some attacks but nothing like 9-11.
That's the standard? That there's been no attack that has killed thousands?
He has set such a PC culture in our national security forces and in our nation that attacks continue with jarring frequency. That began when he sought to have the Ft. Hood massacre classified as "workplace violence."
Is he carrying the war to ISIS? Yes.
No. He created ISIS. He then called them the JV team. He and his national security team have continuously downplayed the threat and we have watched it spread.
Has the economy recovered during his presidency? Yes.
The worst recovery since WW2.
Is the average person better off now economically than when he took office? Yes.
Even if you could prove this, you are aiming at the low point and saying, "Gee whiz, it's not as bad as it was."
Worst recovery in nearly 70 years.
Are deficits under control? Yes.
It's $500B this year. "Under control???"Are military casualties much lower under Obama than in the previous eight years?
He has reduced the number of potential targets and let our enemies run wild.
The suicide rate is way up among our veterans. Despite many promises, Obama has done squat for them.
Yes. So what exactly are people so mad about.
They can't get jobs and/or the available jobs are well below their qualifications.
And why are people so mad at Hillary? If it wasn't email it would be something else--you know that right?
She's a liar and a thief. Oh, and her "qualifications" are only slightly less of a joke than Trump's. She set the Middle East ablaze, caved into Russia, and generally botched everything she touched.
We can work together to solve what are not unsolvable problems or we can pull apart. The white police officer should imagine what it's like to be a black man, a black man should imagine what it's like for a white police officer dealing with the black community that is suspicious of white police officers, the evangelical Christian should imagine what it's like for an atheist or gay or transgendered person and those groups should imagine what it's like for Christians whose views are mocked sometimes. Come together and solve problems. Come together and reach a reasonable compromise on things.
This has nothing to do with Hillary, but it's not unreasonable. Engaging on all these subjects would take hours.
If someone is a Trump supporter and is a white male and has only a high school education, Trump is not going to magically solve their problems. Their essential problem is that a high school education is not good enough in today's globalized economy. Being a white male is not enough anymore. Get over it and compete like everyone else.
This is bunk. Being young and black means being unemployed, forget about "white privilege." In this economy, having a good job is a "privilege."
We live in a free country where someone from anywhere, male or female, any religion, whatever their color of their skin, can succeed if they have the intelligence and drive to succeed.
Watch out! That's my mantra!
You can think and say what you want. The 11 million illegal immigrants do not threaten that in the least nor does gay marriage, or the transgendered bathroom issue. These are ridiculous issues. Trump does pose an existential threat to our country. If people are going to be so concerned about such minor issues and risk our great country created by our ancestors, well, I just don't know what to say.
This is a wonderful collection of straw men. However, as the weather is quite dry in SoCal, please burn them somewhere else.
