How did Obama's Administration affect the Security and Economy of the US?
The world, as curious as I am, want to know what the American people and the world think about Obama's administration so far, especially how it affected the security and economy. Did his administration stabilized or weakened the security and economy of the United States? Or made good impacts in both aspects?
In your own view, what do you think?
Of course, the Obama 8 years was a decline in the US both for security and the economy.
There have been more terrorists attacks in the US under Obama, and ISIL settled in during Obama. This created ISIS and they are the ones threatening our safety in the US.
There are more than 47 million people on food stamps, the Obamacare has increased the cost of health insurance, so much that many people have to take very high catastrophic deductibles to afford insurance. Now, Obama want to reduce the benefits under Medicare for seniors. Apparently he thinks that it is a waste of US revenue to keep old people healthy.
He wants to bring in hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Middle Eastern immigrants into the US without even properly vetting them. We have had terrorist attacks here by Muslim Americans already in the country.
There is racial unrest in the country, and police are being intentionally killed.
Do you feel safe??
Hi brad, welcome to the conversation. So according to your statement, are you generally saying that his administration messed up everything in both systems? And does that mean the security was strong during Bush's tenure?

sorry but I don't seem to get notifications.
Obama definitely messed up in both systems. The ? wasn't about Bush, but he messed up the economy and got us into Iraq. Obama didn't improve it by focusing on Obamacare instead of the economy
All right.. Thanks Brad for sharing your view.

A Bloomberg poll shows that most Americans either don't know or don't believe the positive effect many of Obama's actions have had on the economy. Remember that Bloomberg is hardly a bastion of liberalism. Obama's tax cuts on the middle class have done little to persuade Americans that they're not...
