    How sweet it is!! Making the VA useful to Vets, just as he promise.

    One President takes away your hard earned Health Care coverage. And then and honest one restores you coverage. Sort of a plan B but it helps. Doesn't help my wife or the million of other that lost their coverage due to the cavalier disregard for a life time a work millions of people did, but I appreciate this President keeping his word.

    I did not vote for Trump. Actually I did not like him long before he decided to get into politics.

    I must confess, he is making things happen, something Obama did not know how to do.

    It is not what he is doing that bothers me, it is how he is doing it. He has zero political skills.

    I agree with most of what he is doing, but believe he made at least two huge mistakes.

    1. The wall is going to be a very exspensive failure.

    2. His tarriffs on foreign products is a completely misguided attempt to correct a problem.

    Trump has had an easier time getting what he wants done, much of it will not be good as it so appears to some of you, because the republicans have control of the house and senate. Obama had to deal with a republican senate\congress who did whatever they could to fuck him...openly...publicly.

    Exactly and even with control Trump still fails to accomplish much as the courts have knocked down many as illegal.

    Excuse me? Say what you want about Obama - but he got shit done, even if it is not shit you like.

    Inherited the worst recession since the depression - avoided depression and complete meltdown and had sustained economic growth. Check.
    Passed the health bill. Check.
    Got Bin Laden. Check.
    Got the troops out of Iraq. Check.

    You can argue that you disagree with his methods or with what he chose to accomplish - but the idea that Obama did not accomplish things is non-sense. Plain and simple.

    Trump gets some shit done as well. He seems to be on a pardon kick right now. That's usually done by presidents at the last year of their term. Maybe he knows something we do not...

    I'll stand by my words . Obama did not know how to get things done.

    Q. If Obama did such a great job, why did the people vote in a rep controlled Senate and House, plus a rep president?

    The last time all 3 were controlled by one party was 1955.

    Because Obama did not run for Senate, House or in the 2016 presidential elections.

    Given his approval ratings - do you really doubt he would have won either of these were he to run in the first 2 or if he could in the last one?

    But this does not matter one bit as far as his ability to accomplish things. I gave a very concise bullet list of big things he did accomplish given very tough circumstances. These are in direct opposition to your statement. You can stand by it as much as you want, it is factually wrong.

    It's easy to accomplish your goal if your goal is to break stuff.

    Making stuff is a lot harder.

    Very odd. Not one person in S2 can find a good word for Trump working to fix the VA. A wrong where Obama did nothing.

    Your quoting a post from a different thread. Very odd.

    Yes it is. I intended no quote here. I must have made an error.
