And if you don’t vote for Hillary, Obama will be personally insulted and take it as a slap against his legacy.

How many of you will slap down Obama’s legacy?? How many of you are so fearful of slighting Obama, that you will now vote for Hillary instead, so that Obama won’t be mad at you???

Too bad he couldn’t reach full perfection.

When nobody has any income, things are perfect.

He moved 90 million people in that direction.

Nice try. He was shooting for 100%.

They don’t make them much dumber than our president. He pisses in a pitcher and tells us to make lemonade.

Lowering the income equality really means that working Americans are paying way too much in welfare tax thereby reducing their take home pay to almost that of a welfare recipient.

This is not a viable solution.
