I gave up at the guy repeating "lie" a zillion times. It may be comedy gold, but I'll just have to miss out.

That is patently unfair. They are obsessed with gender politics as well.

and abortion. Dems are IMO fixated on aborting foetuses, as they are demanding that it be so available.

I'm not American so don't have to. At least he made a start to universal healthcare in the States. Why does the right want to take it away? Like they want to take away just about everything? 

It was just a bad policy, IMO. He should have done better.

There is one overriding reason why Obama was hated by so many.

 

Pigmentation.

 

Wrap it up as much as you like. It is the USA. It is hardwired into a large segment of the population.

I gave that a laugh emoji, as it's just barking IMO. That may have applied to some, but to most, IMO, he was just not very good at his job.

 

BTW, you do realise he was only half pigmented, don't you? It's always been a mystery to me that his white mother was so completely ignored. I never saw him even refer to his parents. I can understand that for his father, but his mother brought him up. Surely he should have acknowledged that more?

I wasn't referring to medicare, unless I missed something and Obama care was medicare.

As I recall, it didn't make anyone happy. Didn't go far enough for the socialists and too far for the capitalists.

His "half pigmentation" allowed the party to embark on the destructive identity politics strategy that continued, as though on steroids, after he left office in 2017. In reality, he was raised by his white mother until she placed him in her parents care in Hawaii until college. He likely had minimal connection to black people until leaving Harvard and going to Chicago.

Whatever care. I mean what is wrong with the idea of healthcare like just about any first world nation has? If I want private healthcare (like we have to in Thailand) you see that even with world policies the US and Canada are always excluded, Same with travel insurance. Why because the costs are insane! Having a baby would set you back 20 k US dollars.

Nothing at all. The NHS is the best thing about living in Britain IMO.

 

Unfortunately, Obama didn't use his majority in the house and the senate to bring something like that in. The GOP will never allow that if they can stop it.
