Fact check his speech if you dare

But I do know his base eats that stuff like candy, they don't care because they hate the democrats and want to hold on for four more years.

I new Pete would follow quickly, saves me typing, but some of the lies are just outrageous. The one about pre-existing conditions is ridiculous, since they have done everything legally they can possibly do to eliminate all aspects of Obama Care.

Carry on, nothing will change, the lies will continue and we will continue to be governed by tweet.

I agree with some of that. Would have been better if he said "while the previous administration inherited a mess and did a decent job bringing us back...I took a different approach by cutting taxes and eliminating regulations, and that has allowed us to improve meaningfully, far beyond what anyone thought was realistic." I'm not sure you can say that Obama's economic agenda was a failure. It wasn't nearly as robust as what we have now, but it wasn't a failure. The $750B "stimulus' was a pathetic failure, but that was one bill that flopped completely, even Obama later admitted so. . But As a whole, the economy was better when Obama left than what he inherited.
