Obama: ‘We’ve Made Extraordinary Progress’ Over the Past 8 Years
Breitbart ^ | 31 Dec 2016 | IAN HANCHETT

During Saturday’s Weekly Address, President Obama reflected on his time in office and touted the “extraordinary progress” the country has made over the last eight years.

Transcript as Follows:

“Happy New Year, everybody. At a time when we turn the page on one year and look ahead to the future, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for everything you’ve done to make America stronger these past eight years.

Just eight years ago, as I prepared to take office, our economy teetered on the brink of depression. Nearly 800,000 Americans were losing their jobs each month. In some communities, nearly one in five folks were out of work. Almost 180,000 troops were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Osama bin Laden was still at large. And on challenges from health care to climate change, we’d been kicking the can down the road for way too long.

I defy anybody to name one positive thing Obama has accomplished.

I have a relative who took issue with me in a facebook post about this fantasy from Obama and the left...

I asked him to one just one aspect of Obama administration that has not been a abject failure except the SJW agenda...?

Still waiting for an answer...I think it's going to be a very long time...

According to wiki leaks, that economic decline was intentially
orchestrated. Evil is as evil does!

America’s enemies made extraordinary progress on December 7, 1941.

America’s enemies made extraordinary progress on September 11, 2001.

America’s enemies made extraordinary progress over the eight terrible years we just survived.

If Obama had any decency, he would not brag about what he has done to us or the company he has joined.

“Progress” is what progressives do.

Cancer is progressive.

“Obama: ‘We’ve Made Extraordinary Progress’ Over the Past 8 Years”

In this instance, “we” = Muslims.

Progress means leaving a nation more polarized and divided than ever.

Progress means leaving a planet in chaos.

Progress means enabling your own superpower country to become a banana republic and the laughing stock of the world.

Yes, if all of the above are Progress, then BHO has done an outstanding job...

Amazing, is it not, the statements that can come out of an uneducated and very small mind.

If all you hear is how Russia hacked the election, you
are hanging around way different people than I am.
Even the academics were quiet after the election, it was
as eerie as was the shock after 911. I do hang out in a blue little dot
in Nebraska, perhaps when I refused to apologize for being
a conservative and declared the open bar was the only thing
that made their conversations amusing, they realized I wasn’t one
of them.

Not the least of which is throwing loads of democRats out of office, and electing Donald Trump to the presidency!

‘We’ve Made Extraordinary Progress’ Over the Past 8 Years”........

Depends on what his original goal has been, and we all know what that was, “To destroy America”. He made a good effort so finally there is something I can agree that bastard with.
