SBR is the perfect forum to see the racism in full force and that's been the case before Obama made office.
Obama has been a perfect example of a president. He's never fukked around with interns, didn't get impeached or did some illegal shenanigans and cared about his family. He couldn't get a lot done because of partisan politics. That's Washington, the 2 party system has basically sand bagged progress. Trump won't be able to get much done either because Washington is really ruled by lobbyist and special interest. Trump will soon find out that you cannot compete with those 2 groups.

this is rich. true U-6 is closer to 15%. true U-6 still counts people that have given up finding a job. true U-6 counts people that are now underemployed because of ACA. true U-6 doesn't weigh "santa claus at the mall" job the same as a full-time, 40-hr/wk job. go talk to your fellow americans in the flyovers and tell them how great things are. tell them how you've been around for a "looong" time and if they don't have a job it's because they're lazy. go tell them 95M americans out of work-- and the lowest labor participation rate since Carter-- is their problem. go tell them 20M more americans on food stamps in the last 8 yrs is a good thing because hot pockets rule. as for your silly, facile take on race relations, they have devolved because his DOJ chose to politicize law enforcement... because it revs up one's base before a midterm election... f*ck that white cop in Ferguson, right? "pigs in a blanket... fry em like bacon... what do we want... dead cops... when do we want em... now." that's who big lefties like you caucus with and that's why you and your party were just put out at the curb like the trash that you are.
