President Obama has accelerated the divide within America.  He is an utter failure bringing little but stress and uncertainty and has stagnated the economy in red-tape and his ill conceived Obamacare.  The country is over-taxed and under-served!  Overseas, we are in disarray and have no direction prompting even the Philippines to want to break with us.

Ba$e, you continue to live in your bubble. On Day 1 Mitch McConnell resolved to bring down the President of the USA. Have you looked at the tax rates under Obama and have you seen the Federal services he saved and/or expanded? Have you seen the strides against ISIS in spite of the ethnic rivalries over there?

Kai wrong argument. Taxes under Obama are HIGHER than they were even under Bill Clinton.  You also ought to outline what Federal services that he has expanded.  

The question is whether these higher taxes have prevented job growth.  Clinton increased taxes yet more jobs were created than under the much revered Reagan. Reagan himself INCREASED taxes when he realized that his budget deficits had become unsustainable.  The best years of Reagan job growth occurred in his 2nd term AFTER the tax increases, as the budget deficits were a drag on the economy.

The biggest tax cuts occurred under George W Bush, and yet his TWO term presidency saw the most anemic job growth in recent times. Real income DECLINED under his presidency, erasing the increase in real incomes under Clinton.

Obama erased Bush's tax cuts and we have seen way more job growth, and last year even REAL income growth.

The Philippines president is a foul mouth vulgarian and a lesson to Baseman as to what a Trump presidency is. He calls killing innocent teenagers collateral damage.  His police fire bullets into protesting crowds. His crudeness alienates people who ought to be his allies.  Just as Trump will sell the USA out to Russia so is that idiot handing the Philippines over to China, even as China claims waters that belong to that nation.
