I've been reading a bit of the HuffPo.  The comments of the liberal readers are hilarious -- predicting everything from Republicans impeaching Trump within 6 months to Trump resigning within 2 years because he can't take the pressure or is bored. I'm going to research to see which companies make crayons and Play-Doh.  Libs going to be using a lot of that in their safe spaces.

The sad thing is that the influence of Obama will likely last for more than a few years. I know most people believe in instant gratification with saviors with magic wands riding in on unicorns to save the day, but that's not how the real world operates. There are multiple problems left over from goobermint spending like debt and the future cost of servicing that debt if interest rates rise when the economy grows. If Trump succeeds in getting his policies passed by congress, he might see some benefit at the end of this four year term, but more likely whoever is elected president in four years will be the one who gets the praise or blame. As an example, it was the Reagan administration that greatly reduced the tax rates and paid for the military research that produced the 90s tech boom. Yes, Clinton raised tax rates again in 1993, but they were far less than rates before Reagan and taxes were again lowered when Gingrich and Trent Lott bargained glossies and negatives for a signature in 1997.

I got what I wanted from Trump. No hilliary. Now we have a four year "grace period" to start a turn around, and to see if we can get the claws and fangs of the demoslops out of our country, and hopefully that leads to four more, and then leads to the day there are no more demoslops in office anywhere. Not even as dog catchers.

Hopefully the deserving will see more out of this admin. than
we got from the Bush era.

Assuming you mean shrub the two'th, he is a good example of inheriting the blame for other administrations. He inherited what Ross Perot called the sucking sounds of jobs leaving the US when industries made a run for the border or for China after the sleepovers in the Lincoln bedroom and when Al Gore played bagman for the "Buddhists for Bubba" scandal. He also inherited the banking laws that put people in houses they couldn't afford and created the unsustainable house flipping craze.

Bush did try to stop the impending housing crisis by trying to regulate the agencies most responsible for the blowup , but didn't really fight the loss of good jobs. 

September 11, 2003

The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.

Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.

The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.

The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.

I hope y'all are right, I'm afraid the middle class is in for a rough ride. I voted against him, but if he makes my life better, I will congradulate him and admit I was wrong.

Being right has nothing to do with it, hellery said she will leave
everything as is except she wanted to bring in 500% more
ragheads than mobumy, at the same time this country is in
a death spiral to hell...That's why it is concluded you're one
of millions too stupid to vote.
You can't lay justification for her success when she hasn't been
successful at any one time in her career..

One thing about Trump, he doesn't care if you congratulate him or not. You're a hypocrite to say you didn't vote for him but will "admit you were wrong". He and we already know you were wrong when you voted for hilliary clinton. You didn't care that she would have made our lives worse. True to form it's all about what you thought she'd do for YOU.
