Bum Face you’re joking right? The Great Recession began in December 2007, during the time bush was president and over a year before Obama became president
Max C No I was not joking. I was just saying how great the world was doing before Obama came in. We had trillion dollar deficits, a failing financial system, 200,000 troops in 2 pointless wars, and a war criminal in office. Are you saying you didn’t like George Bush? He was a truly good president, but unfortunately that idiot Obama had to go and give 20 million people healthcare and do shitty things like invest in science and infrastructure.
@ divided only for racists. Everyone was united and were all working together towards a greater America, You see how country is divided on almost all issues since trump? If you dont have this much of understanding and you get carried away by so called political influencers words then I cant help you.
Man, we had it good back then huh? When you could actually think about and choose a candidate that both had different things to offer. Now I feel like my choice was made way before any ads or speeches because both sides are at odds. We've strayed so far from even 10 years ago :(
I'm not a Republican by any means but he really did screw it with Palin, didn't he? Still think Obama would've won, but damn... Also it has gotten so ugly. I think social media is really destroying democracy thanks to Facebook and the spread of disinformation. Zuckerberg has a lot to answer for.
Wow, 8 years ago. Blackberry was still relevant. IPhone didn't exist. Tablets were something that characters on Star Trek carried around. Just think where we will be 8 years from now.
When Obama won Ohio, I looked over to my family, and said, "The election is over. Obama has won. Obama was leading in all the Kerry states, and Kerry had 252=20 for OH is 272. Boom. Obama wins!"
@@meljohnson5116 The 2020 elections is also the first election where most notable bellwether counties such as Vigo County, IN (which voted right since 1956) and Valencia County, NM (which voted right since 1952) voted wrong on the presidency, breaking a massive bellwether record. Very tragic.
YSV Rao Yes, i know racism and birtherism and every vile and ugly prejudice he played on and how he motivated bitter bigots to vote for him. I also know how little he knows and cares about his supporters. He used people's prejudices and stupidity to his own advantage seeking power at any cost. I don't think Trump is a true racist, but he very well may be. At any rate, he capitalized on ignorance and fear and people who voted for him were conned, robbed, and ripped off. So because a bunch of bigots were offended by Barack Obama, we have Donald "grab em by the pussy" Trump-the billionaire champion of everyday working people who cares so much.... but he lost popular vote by 2,000.000 and counting and has no mandate and will preside over a country where a majority of people rejected him.
Trump actually grabbed some of Obama's key coalition voters. He reached out and spoke to the White Working Class and they resonated with his message and showed up in droves. U know they r the majority of voters? The ones Hillary alienated
I was 18, and it was my first election, and this still brings a tear to my eye both because of how historic it was but because of how our country elected a man based on hate to succeed him as president.
"CBS Projects that Senator Barack Obama of Illinois will be the next President of United States"- the line which still echoes in my brain since that night. I was fortunate to watch that live.

Obama divided the country. Even before 2016 the country was completely split
Omg I still choke up when I recall that night, indeed it’s the power of democracy respect to late Mr John McCain how he defended Mr President elect vs how the orange guy and his deplorable have always insulated.😢
They mention Ebenezer Baptist Church a lot, which made a lot of sense then, but you look at it now and realize that the man who was senior pastor at that church when this happened is now one of Georgia's US Senators.
It was one night the South Louisiana girl who heard her teacher tell her cousin. You can’t be President He asked why not and we were in 2nd grade. She said because you’re black be like George Washington Carver….Because of President Obama our Son can be what they want to be!!!
I personally will never forget this election because both guys have good intentions to take care of the country at this time. Also, in my neighborhood I never seen so many people got involved to vote for that year. Obama won by a landslide and it shows if you have went to the poles.
Honestly, I must admit that Obama is and continues to be my favorite president of all time. He presided our nation during my youth years and he was such a truly disciplined man who was really on top of things when it comes to national/global issues. Wish we could have leaders like him in the near future.
@tyrese3745 That is right. The only thing that can finish Obama in 2012 would high inflation, enough so that people would rise up against the Fed Bank.
Define. The NSA spying and the pro-Wall street agenda he has employed were present under Bush as well. Both things are garbage, to be sure. The ACA is different - based on Republican ideas, though. How is it radical? The most radical things he has done? Ended two wars, one of which was started on false pretense quite likely. Also, he DID NOT do any gun legislation, though the country may have been ready for it, considering some of the mass shootings. I am tired of people saying that Obama failed because he was some radical socialist. He failed because it was the same old, same old. The government could have restored jobs and economy sooner, and it could've yanked health care away from the employer (easing burdens on employers, quite honestly) and made it public like with Medicare. But no. Housing bubble? Another one appears on the horizon. No, this was no radical socialist. Just a placeholder.
The great thing about America is that you can choose whichever candidate in elections you prefer. If you want to be a Communist, there's nothing I can do to stop you.

Obama entered the presidency with a united country, and left it with a divided country in turmoil.
@@richarda.w.4562 The only people who felt divided where racists who couldn't Belize that a black person succeeded to become the president.
