Obama sucks. Because of Obamacare, Frank-Dodd, Common Core, did not ease up on war.
The real problem is the legacy this asshole leaves.
But undeniably the economy is improving: DESPITE Obama
A little hyperbole, but generally agreeable. Meanwhile the wheels are coming off Obamacare and more and more people are reporting such dramatic deductible increases that they are far worse off than before. The market is not having it either.
Meanwhile the wheels are coming off Obamacare
Will it be repealed?
If Trump wins, yes. If any of the Cuckservatives wins, it is questionable. Paul would also have pushed for a repeal but he is not going to win. If the Dems win it won't be repealed for sure. The problem with such monstrous legislature is that once it is enacted it is very hard and costly to dismantle.

Tru Dat, like any other agency once paycheck become dependent on it...

Obamacare was an attempt at the right direction which was mostly met with resistance and road blocks from the other side which is why we ended up with a hack job - we gotta vastly improve it not repeal I'd say - where would insurance premiums be without Obamacare, much higher. But it depends on everyone's personal story. I have friends who are very happy and others who are very upset because their family plan is out of reach.
Are republicans going to be the ones that will make health insurance affordable? How was it under Bush? Health Insurance in the USA is a disaster. Before and after Obamacare. Who is the one that will revolutionize it? I don't know who but it ain't gonna be republicans. That's for sure.

But what puzzles me is that whenever I talk to my die hard republican friends that they are so negative and deny an obvious recovery of the last 7 years...
It's because wages are flat, and the % of population actually working is still painfully low. That and Obama still wants to make more free trade agreements to keep Americans from getting jobs.

This is where we disagree.
There has been vastly too much growth in government. It has NO business meddling with healthcare or the alphabet soup list of agencies that it meddles now.
We need to shrink government across the board. Why because with the government there is NO price discovery.
The problem is hubris.

The same people that claims the economy is improving. Knows that if there's any improvement, it's because the easing of Oil prices.
Yet the same people that claims the economy is improving, is in the full mind set, that $200 Oil would be a correction to the to the Oil market.
Even if it took every remote resemblance of green-shoots now along with it.
You clowns have no opinion on the recovery, just spinning a disastrous failed Presidency and the last Democrat controlled Washington America will ever see again. Until a new Generation grows up for them to pull the wool over their eyes and get elected again.
Great news that the economy is recovering. We will soon be able to pay down debt,public & private, to a manageable amount.

I don't think America, particular its politicians, have the political will to pay down the national debt. We could have paid off the entire national debt any time over the past 50 years. America has a large and growing debt because we'd rather be in debt than pay for goods and services when we purchase them. It's a lifestyle choice, not a technical problem.

Especially if you constantly ask for more and more entitlements, kind of hard to pay any debt down. Typical scenario of a clueless teenager with a credit card, I want stuff, let the wealthy or mommy and daddy pay for it though.
Keep in mind that the average republican (and democrat) have a double digit IQ
People are dumb.
They're all just a bunch of monkeys, and the result is a monkey see monkey do population. Sure, they're capable of repeating a handful of simple buzzwords, but if you ask them some questions, in an attempt to get them to think an iteration or two out an implications chain, you will quickly realize it's a dead end. They're not even capable, and it's possible that it's not even their fault.
Has anyone watched these assclowns in the debate last night? It's beyond pathetic. How anyone even considers voting for these guys is beyond me.

He's just a little upset that his communist heroes Chairman Mao and Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un didn't show up at the Democratic debate to honor Bernie/Hillary.

I don't care about liberals or republican agendas...I prefer to see numbers and facts. Like a companies balance sheet etc
But what puzzles me is that whenever I talk to my die hard republican friends that they are so negative and deny an obvious recovery of the last 7 years...
