That's why I like you even though we are on the opposite side of the spectrum. When Bush Jnr started the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, American economy was ok not great but after US was spending $5 billion weekly for years on the wars, the economy started collapsing and the body bags coming from Iraq and Afghanistan turned Americans against the war and that's when Dow Jones, Nasdaq and SP started fumbling and Down Jones came down to 6.000 points from about 14.000 points and the Blue Chips companies were going bankrupt. That's when yours truly was scared to death because in America, our 401k is our lifeline to our comfortable retirement. Obama came in Jan 2009 and did the right thing and the stock market rose up with Dow Jones went all the way to over 18.400 points which Trump inherited from Obama.

That movement from 6 to 18k indicates all round growth.
When the dow gains, everyone gains including 401K's.
As for Obama, I really do not credit him with that growth. No increase in shovel ready jobs, low interest rates of 0% , I always felt he was only good with words and looks but not real underlying substance.Kinda felt
he was more concerned about a political first the likes of Martin Luther to satisfy his ego.Thats for another day. It seemed to me he had no idea of what would set him apart from any other previous president, hence his disgust at Trump for rolling back and eliminating his policies.

Hush your mouth boy. What the fcvk do you know about the economy of US. Just spitting garbage as usual. Google is your friend and it's there for you to compare Obama's economic achievements with Trump.

We call Obama Zero for a reason. He did zilzh in real terms.
If he was a gentleman he is said to be , he would have facilitated a smooth transition after he lost the 2016. Yea Obama lost the 2016 elections not Hillary. Had he been the charismatic leader so loved by all He would not have lost the house and senate in 8 years before losing the presidency.

There are two former Republicans whose profound
intellect and command of the language I respect. They
are George Will and Steve Schmidt. Trump tried
attacking Steve (head of the Lincoln Project and
former Campaign Manager for John McCain) on Twitter
and he got skewered. Read Steve's response below.

“You’ve never beaten me at anything. This is our
first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters,
degenerates, weirdos and losers.
You are losing. We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in
disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One
last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison?
I bet you fear that. The Manhattan District Attorney
may not be around to cover for you or your crooked
kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done.

Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in
personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down.
You think you and your disgusting family are going to
be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that
delusional?
You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know.
Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading?
Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the
breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will
have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid slowpoke turned deadly clown.
Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against
American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt.
Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is
ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she
made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall
noa w. She will lose, like most of them, because of you.
We hear from the White House and the campaign
everyday. The very day trying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names.
It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald
Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They
are at war over scraps and who gets to command what
will be the remnants of your rancid cult.
It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in
American history. You are the worst president in
American history. Disgrace will always precede your
name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names.
One day, I suppose there will be some small and not-
a much-visited lA library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his
dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you.
Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s
winning.
Do you remember when you didn’t want to name
Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried
about him being a loser named Donald? You were right
about that. He is.
But it is you who will be remembered as America’s
greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election!”

You are one sick dude who needs attention to breath. Go back to your cave and deal with your local politics and the Thieflicians that are ruining your country. Your post makes no sense. There's a reason Obama won overwhelmingly twice both in popular and electoral votes and I don't expect a villager like you who never step out of Nigeria to comprehend that. Crawl back in your unlit cave please.

"In the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy."​

"We rarely publish editorials signed by all the editors," said Dr. Eric Rubin, editor-in-chief of the medical journal and an author of the new editorial.

"This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy," the editorial says.

"Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment,"

"The reason we've never published an editorial about elections is we're not a political journal and I don't think that we want to be a political journal -- but the issue here is around fact, not around opinion. There have been many mistakes made that were not only foolish but reckless and I think we want people to realize that there are truths here, not just opinions," Rubin said.

"For example, masks work. Social distancing works. Quarantine and isolation work. They're not opinions. Deciding not to use them is maybe a political decision but trying to suggest that they're not real is imaginary and dangerous," he said. "We don't have the right leaders for this epidemic. I think we need better leadership."

Obama played the racist card to the hilt. If you attacked him, the whole world would scream racist.
Im also a racist since I was vocal in some other fora attacking him.
The only going thing for him was that he os black.
He lost the house and the senate within 8 years.

What does that indicate if his policies were good.

The only thing coming in November is Trump's election defeat.

Why do you think he is desperate he knows he is losing don't you see his tweets yelling and spreading lies up and down he is no longer attacking mail ballots you wonder why?
Also the dummy just cemented his loss in Michigan by attacking the governor again and not condemning the attacks but is waiting for a thank you.

Rubbish. Trickle down economics.
You must think we are in the 19th century cheesy

You know nothing. Tax cut encourages retirement savings and business innovation. I am sure your biased mind wint allow you to see that.

President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) into law on Dec. 22 2017.

Tax rate for corporate bodies drop to 21% while for individuals.The top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%.

65% of Americans benefitted from tax cut thanks to the new code.

Anybody that says taxcut is evil does not know anything about economics.

In the short run. Tax cut is like subsidy. You kick the deficit can down the road, until your debt catches up on you. With a national debt of $26 trillion and a budget deficit of $3 trillion, the US should be more responsible with tax cuts.

Tax cut are not like subsidy and they are not subsidies.

Tax cut benefitted both corporate and individuals.

If my tax is cut, i will have mire savings in my account also businesses can use the tax cut to innovate and create more jobs

The democrats use Obama leftist judges to pass laws that work to their advantage .Appeals courts including the Supreme court have struck down laws that benefit the democrats and throw the elections into a disarray.
eg Nov 9 mailin ballot acceptance was struck down.
These judges do not want to be blamed for the civil war if it erupts.

The judicial shortcuts are being cut off.

Mr man, what I am saying that is the basic way to curb the virus, if you have it, stay in your house. He wants to debate in person obviously if he is still positive, that is more or less breaking CDC rules, but if he is tested negative fine, but as at now only the insane would debate with him that way

The debate is the 15th of Oct, by then testing should be mandatory (following CDC guidelines).

There is still another debate on the 22 of Oct, am curious to see what happens then.
