The only thing that will cure it is a good vibrator. Maybe the Government can offer them a Trump Vibrator to go along with their Obama phone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince44 202 Posted March 16, 2018 Trump keeps on posting wins. I wanted to throw up the night he clinched the election. However, maybe he was the right choice based on the results in Year One. I still hate his guts and find him beyond childish, but the man simply knows how to win. He is getting the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every single time that Trump scores a victory it is always "Obama deserves all the credit" but you have to give the devil it's due. Wins are wins. Presidents get way too much credit and blame for economic swings which are totally outside their control. Obama inherited a housing bubble, bank crisis and recession (all of which was set in motion before he got there). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted March 17, 2018 Under Obama 11 million people were added to the Food Stamp Program.Nice piece of info with no context.When did the decline in those in food stamps begin? Try answering that honestly. BTW...Im not directly crediting Obama with the decline. Nor should anyone just claim he made it increase in the first place.

Right you dont "credit" Obama but you "credit" 4 years ago Where did I say Obama?I asked when the decline began? You all seem to hate facts like that and not understand trends. You also seem to overestimate an impact of a Presidentn on issues when it looks good for your guy (on the same stuff youd downplay it on for when its not).

Strike 3,969 Posted March 20, 2018 Obama took away the work for benefits provision that many states employ. Trump reinstated it. Low and behold less people are using them. Amazing.
