You mean a peaceful, stable Iraq, which disintegrated under his watch?
Obama deserves credit, obviously, for stopping the freefall in the economy. But that needs to be balanced against the staggering amount of debt that he accumulated, which our grandkids will spend their entire careers paying interest on. And the fact that he did exactly nothing to help shore up Medicaid or Social Security. But the economy was much healthier when he left, than when he came in, and he gets credit for presiding over that.
But if you don't think it's a safe bet that businesses will feel more comfortable investing in growth under Trump than Obama, you aren't an honest person.
The guy is vulgar, offensive, paranoid, cocky, and brash. But he knows how to cut through the red tape and get stuff done. Will the good outweigh the bad? Maybe, maybe not.
But if you want to point out every single time he acts like an azz, you will be busy for the next 4 years. Very busy.
The Carrier jobs. Obama went on TV and specifically said those jobs could not be saved, and he mocked Trump for suggesting he could save them. Trump picked up the phone and got it done, with Pence's help. Would never have happened under Obama, because even Obama admitted that he had no way of saving those jobs.
