Well NAFTA, passed under Clinton, didn't do American workers any favors. The TPP won't be any better. The debt has continued to blow up under Obama. Obama has had his fair share of ball outs. But according to Obama increasing the debt limit doesn't increase the debt
Obama's Middle East policy has been a disaster. I won't put the Iraq mess on him. Bush owns that nightmare. Helping with the overthrows of Egypt and Libya was stupid. Screwing around with Syria and Ukraine isn't exactly wise. Using a pseudo embassy in Benghazi to ship weapons was brilliant. That turned out well. But according to Dems none of that is the main reason ISIS is pissed at us. According to Hildabeast and her fellow Demtards it's actually Donald Trump. Why would overthrowing governments and significantly increasing drone bombing of Pakistan have anything to do with it. Nope, Trump is the new battle cry for ISIS
Then you have Obama Care having all kinds of problems. Quite a few state exchanges having trouble. Guess they miscalculated that one. Not surprising since it was passed in stealth and no one knew what was in it. In the words of Nancy Pelosi " we have to pass it to see what's in it". Seriously think that woman is brain damaged.

The debt Incurred under the Obama administration is mostly a direct result of the financial collapse and has steadily decreased since the economy bottomed out. I'll take a president who take a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit and turns tham into $400 deficits versus a president who takes a $250 SURPLUS and turns them into $1.2 triillion deficits any day of the week.
How much did the US involvement in the overthrow of Libya and Egypt cost the US in terms of money or US lives lost? certainly nowhere near the cost of our misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems you have a real hatred of Hillary, while her statement about Trump may or may not be true, you inclusion of all Dems thinking the same way is a gross mis-characterization. The rise of Isis is a direct result of our invasion of Iraq. I find it interesting that you complain about egypt and Libya not being good decisions, but ignore the creation of Isis, a far greater threat
I find it interesting that you quote Pelosi, but don't quote congressmen who say virtually the same thing regarding our 1,000 page defense appropriation bills. Yes, one Obama's mistakes was Obamacare, He should have held out for a single payer system, the most economically efficient system.
Among Obama's other mistakes was being too easy on the banks(his biggest mistake), allowing the military industrial complex to continue raping the taxpayers, and continuing the prohibition against things that we can't talk about here. Over 1000 people killed in the us per year, $50 billion per year spent and the highest incarceration rate in the world. This is the land of freedom?
Looks like to me you failed miserably in showing anything Obama has done that rises to the level of Bush's major screw ups and I haven't even brought up his lesser mistakes like "mission accomplished" and no child left behind.
