"I thought it would be easier"

• isadore

  Hail Trump!
  
  Reality strikes the least reflective of humans.
  
  
  
  “I loved my previous life,” Mr. Trump told Reuters. “I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”

  Seems pretty obvious that he underestimated the size of the mess that the previous turd (Obama) left for him to clean up.

  North Korea? ISIS? Obamacare? Need I go on? Obama turned the other cheek (internationally) and just let these things continue to build up.

  This thread won't go like any other politics thread. I can feel it!

  North Korea isn't an issue. They have always been a recluse nation that makes obnoxious claims to keep themselves in the news. Obama didn't take the bait whereas Trump is clueless on international politics or NK history and is eating it up.
  
  ISIS? Not sure that Obama left him this mess. What do propose Obama do differently to eliminate a terrorist ideology?
  
  Obamacare? Resounding success and a massive improvement in healthcare for the people. Is it perfect? No. However, it is certainly a massive improvement over the previous system and is one of the reasons the GOP is having trouble getting support for a repeal/replace bill.
  
  Try not to sound so ignorant and watch something other than Fox News.

  Keep up that "character" you've decided to create. LOL...And yes, North Korea IS an issue and it has nothing to do with nuclear capabilities.
  
  Obama CREATED the ISIS "mess." He underestimated the "JV team."
  
  And Obamacare? "Success?" Get your head out of the sand. The program is terrible. The "Unaffordable Care Act."

  There's no character so grow up.
  
  So Obama created ISIS/North Korea and also a program that is so bad that a GOP congress and President can't get a repeal/replace bill passed? Please. This isn't Fox News.

  Actually CNN and MSNBC have been critical/not loving how Obamacare turned out. It's not just FOX news.

  Yeah, it's a character.
  
  He created what ISIS is today and he let North Korea do pretty much what they wanted. Right now, I don't think that NK's nuclear capabilities are all that much to speak of but if Ol' Barry had a 3rd term, they would've been pretty substantial with his "turn the other cheek/I'm a p#ssy" philosophy...but as I said, their nuclear capabilities are the least of our worries.

  Okay care to explain why Obamacare is so bad? I don't want a link, I want an explanation on why you feel Obamacare is not a great program and what you would replace it with?

  Obama did not create ISIS. North Korea is not doing anything that they haven't been doing for the past 50 years since the Korean war. What do you propose we do in NK that Obama did not do?

  He created what ISIS is today by turning the cheek so his "brothers" could flourish.
  
  Really? NK is not doing anything today that they haven't been doing for the past 50 years? NK was building up their technology to be able to create weapons of mass destruction 50 years ago?
  
  Frankly, at this point, doing "anything" would be more than the "nothing" Obama did.
  
  Face it, Obama was a wimp. Dude let people walk all over him and had no issues with it.
• CenterBHSFan

  

  I don't think people should be increasingly fined in order to succumb to the will of some imaginary, benevolent government.
  (Fined: either by taxes or by increasing premiums/payments, also over time - which by the way, we were promised would not happen.)
  Employees who had their jobs cut completely or their hours trimmed down to part-time so that employers could still give medical coverage to some employees.
  Small business insurers who had to close up shop.
  People losing their doctors who they might have had for decades and trusted because they were lied to.
  People losing their insurance that they had previously because they were lied to.
  The added tax burden younger people will face, when they had no input in the matter whatsoever.
  
  Those are my own personal gripes. It's not about being flawless. It's about being shit on a stick.

  Ah, so Obama is a Muslim and he wanted ISIS to flourish so Islam can take over the world. Gotcha.
  
  And yes, NK has been trying to create nuclear technology for the past 50 years. This isn't a new development and you blaming Obama shows your entire bias not to mention your conspiracy theory above that isn't reality.
  
  There isn't a single policy wonk that would support unilateral intervention into NK. You don't understand the situation nor its complexities and frankly come off as Fox News brainwashed and ignorant. Sorry!

  Obama actually did let other countries "walk all over him". That is not just an opinion, that is a fact.

  I honestly don't know if I have the mental energy today to expend effort to explain to you why you are absolutely clueless on reality.
  
  I will say this, I do agree that Obamacare has its flaws and is not perfect. The best option is Single Payer insurance like every other industrialized country in the world that produces higher quality results at a significantly lower cost. But that's "socialism" and we can't have that!

  Those are Fox News talking points. What conservative blog did you get the "Obama is a Muslim" line from? Maybe infowars?
  
  And glad you finally dropped the NK comments. You are clearly not smart enough to engage in policy debate nor do you understand how the world works.
