Really? How about 95 million Americans out of work......an all time high.

You have to stop this nonsense. That figure repeated by Trump is complete BS because it includes all Americans > 65 whether retired or not, all kids over 16 whether in school or not. The actual number of people between the ages of 25 - 64 who are not in the workforce is 8.3 million. And that is nowhere near an all time high.

How about 50% more people on food stamps.

The actual number of people on food stamps is 43 million but between April '15 and April '16, the participation decreased by 1.9 million and has been declining in the last few years with the improving economy.

soldiers who now have to share rifles.

In what war do soldiers have to share rifles? They have to share them now in training

and ps.......the price of gas has NOTHING to do with Obama. It would probably be lower if it wasn't for his anti fossil fuel energy policies.

So what you're saying is all the negatives in the entire country are directly the fault of Obama and the good things have nothing to do with Obama.

Have you ever considered that some jobs are lost with the increase in technology? Or, that some people on food stamps and social assistance choose to stay where the are and not look for work. Or, that some things in the country aren't necessarily the direct result of one person?[/quote

Wrong about food stamps.....while it did decrease slightly as you noted in the past year, the number is still 36.2 % higher than when he took office. Over 50% of recent college grads (last two years) are unemployed or underemployed.....all time high. The percentage of 18-34s who still live at home is at an all time high. Wages for millennials have decreased over the past 5 years. 40% of millennials have used a pawn shop or payday lender.... an all time high. There are 125 million 25-54s in the country and 29 million are unemployed....23%. No idea where you got your figures. Violent crime in major cities is now increasing thanks to Obamas "endorsement" of BLM as police officers now avoid confrontations. Military leaders can't stand the guy. School lunch programs are now a joke thanks to Michelle. Home ownership at an all time low. The divisiveness in this country is at an all time high......and this was well before Trump ever became a candidate. I'd like to know what good things you refer to above. Apparently the voting public didn't think much of the "good things" over the past 8 years either as they sure voted against another 3rd term of Obama. And all this doesn't even include his atrocious/incompetent handling of the "jv team", ISIS.....the Benghazi "video" and the FT. Hood "workplace violence" disaster. The markets sure think good things are about to happen after the last 8 years of anti business policies.Hopefully we can all be proud of our country real soon.
