I'm also an Ike fan. He was a friend of my father's and I have a personally autographed picture of Ike in my study.

How soon we forget. The market meltdown, caused by the GOP's deregulation and lax oversight, was fully recovered and more under Obama's watch. Made me wealthy. Trump and the GOP want to deregulate the banks again. We know exactly how that will end up. They never learn. Trump will destroy this country if he's not reigned in.

Obama got Bin Laden, Bush II gave Bin Laden's family safe passage.
As for Trump, he has met his match in Lil Kim, another deranged despot and wants to pick a fight.

You can think Bill Clinton and Barney Frank with help from Allen Greenspan for causing and then ignoring the housing bubble.

If people had simply paid the mortgage that they agreed to pay there would have never been a housing collapse.

No wait, Bush told them to default and walk away from what they agreed to.

You've reached a new low in failed debate tactics: putting words in other folks mouth. Congratulations.

You're too tribal and dimwitted to realize that the MIC that Ike was warning against is embodied by Trump and today's GOP in that they've never met a defense expenditure (no matter how wasteful or ineffectual) they'd question in favor of helping the poor and underprivileged.

You're too tribal and dimwitted to:
  1. realize that what you're actually doing is changing the subject to make your point, and;
  2. understand that all you really have left in your aresenal is name-calling.

So sad.
