Infrastructure was not shot down by Republicans, Obama and the Dems rammed a trillion dollar stimulus package thru. Remember Obama saying the "shovel" ready jobs weren't ready? Where did the money go Millsy? It was Paola to Democrat cronies. Obama inherited a 9 trillion debt, which he called "criminal". He's leaving Trump a 20 trillion dollar debt, what does Obama call that? Now let's not really get started on Hillary. Obamas DOJ protected her from prosecution. At the very least, she couldn't get a job in government due to her total disregard in handling classified information. Face it Millsy, people may like Obama personally, but during his term, the Democrats have been crushed at every level of government. He campaigned hard to get Clinton elected and preserve his so called legacy. The voters said no. That's his legacy. Trump will undo the rest. Thank god.

And before you start on electoral college talk, go look at what Trump said about the electoral college after the last election. And that's when Obama won the popular vote on top of that. He's legacy can't be touched. He was the first black president. There is no taking that back. Gay marriage occurred under his term, Bin Laden killed, he helped prevent a depression. If Clinton is so corrupt, Trumps DOJ should investigate. The losing of seats in Obama's second term had nothing to do with him. The Democratic Party did drop the ball. That's true. But if you're talking about elections and not mentioning the laws that have suppressed votes, you're lying to people.

That's just one state. The ruling in Shelby v Holder helped increase the supression of votes.
Yeah Obama didn't want to do infrastructure:

As for the debt, you are looking at the dollar amount. And yes it increased by a good amount but it was a 68% increase in the debt. Reagan had a 186% increase to the debt.
As for payola:
Can't wait to hear your idea on Tillerson when his company makes billions off the oil refineries in Russia that they can't touch right now because of sanctions. But will likely be undone. Crony capitalism will take a new step during these 4 years.
