I think Obama needs to become a Realtor.

And pure Columbian White in his nose. If he could have blown weed with his ears, he would have.

He did. One ear drum is missing.

Can Facebook employees properly function without the smell of Starbucks, shit and piss in their nose all day?

Well, that's the thing about Starbucks: You can get it practically anywhere in the country. And, it's really not all that great anyway. As for the "shit and piss" — I'll take a pass, thanks!

I can see that San Francisco has some nice benefits (or at least it used to have nice benefits). And the weather throughout the greater Bay Area is fantastic. After that, most people are here because of the job opportunities. (jobs in high-tech and elevated salaries of jobs supporting those in high-tech) If high-tech isn't tied to the area, expect a massive change over time.

it can be done via self-service pretty much anywhere too.

President Obama guided the massive TARP program in a way that recovered more than was actually spent, by forcing banks to pay back more of the money.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/secrets-and-lies-of-the-bailout-113270/

So what did bailout officials do? They put together a proposal full of even bigger deceptions to get it past Congress a second time. That process began almost exactly four years ago – on January 12th and 15th, 2009 – when Larry Summers, the senior economic adviser to President-elect Barack Obama, sent a pair of letters to Congress. The pudgy, stubby­fingered former World Bank economist, who had been forced out as Harvard president for suggesting that women lack a natural aptitude for math and science, begged legislators to reject Vitter’s bill and leave TARP alone.

In the letters, Summers laid out a five-point plan in which the bailout was pitched as a kind of giant populist program to help ordinary Americans. Obama, Summers vowed, would use the money to stimulate bank lending to put people back to work. He even went so far as to say that banks would be denied funding unless they agreed to “increase lending above baseline levels.” He promised that “tough and transparent conditions” would be imposed on bailout recipients, who would not be allowed to use bailout funds toward “enriching shareholders or executives.” As in the original TARP bill, he pledged that bailout money would be used to aid homeowners in foreclosure. And lastly, he promised that the bailouts would be temporary – with a “plan for exit of government intervention” implemented “as quickly as possible.”

But in the end, almost nothing Summers promised actually materialized. A small slice of TARP was earmarked for foreclosure relief, but the resultant aid programs for homeowners turned out to be riddled with problems, for the perfectly logical reason that none of the bailout’s architects gave a shit about them. They were drawn up practically overnight and rushed out the door for purely political reasons – to trick Congress into handing over tons of instant cash for Wall Street, with no strings attached. “Without those assurances, the level of opposition would have remained the same,” says Rep. Raúl Grijalva, a leading progressive who voted against TARP. The promise of housing aid, in particular, turned out to be a “paper tiger.”

So yeah, all praise OBAMA! because he took bankster's cock down his throat more graciously than Bush did and trump does now...

And more, about Obama HAMP achievements:

HAMP, the signature program to aid poor homeowners, was announced by President Obama on February 18th, 2009. The move inspired CNBC commentator Rick Santelli to go berserk the next day – the infamous viral rant that essentially birthed the Tea Party. Reacting to the news that Obama was planning to use bailout funds to help poor and (presumably) minority homeowners facing foreclosure, Santelli fumed that the president wanted to “subsidize the losers’ mortgages” when he should “reward people that could carry the water, instead of drink the water.” The tirade against “water drinkers” led to the sort of spontaneous nationwide protests one might have expected months before, when we essentially gave a taxpayer-funded blank check to Gamblers Anonymous addicts, the millionaire and billionaire class.

In fact, the amount of money that eventually got spent on homeowner aid now stands as a kind of grotesque joke compared to the Himalayan mountain range of cash that got moved onto the balance sheets of the big banks more or less instantly in the first months of the bailouts. At the start, $50 billion of TARP funds were earmarked for HAMP. In 2010, the size of the program was cut to $30 billion. As of November of last year, a mere $4 billion total has been spent for loan modifications and other homeowner aid.

In short, the bailout program designed to help those lazy, job-averse, “water-drinking” minority homeowners – the one that gave birth to the Tea Party – turns out to have comprised about one percent of total TARP spending. “It’s amazing,” says Paul Kiel, who monitors bailout spending for ProPublica. “It’s probably one of the biggest failures of the Obama administration.”

Cities are generally more fun to visit than to live in.

The issue with these folks leaving the cities is that they bring their infection of liberalism with them. Note the change to Austin, Texas. No, I say: please stay in the big Ci-tay and rot.
If they were to disperse in 1's and 2's or families across the USA, our values might survive.

jazz_music says

The bailouts were passed during the Bush era, and then Obama finialized terms which were far more favorable for America than were ever discussed under Bush.

Jazz,

this is not fully true. Please read the Rolling Stone article.

Geithner announced on March 23, 2009 a Public-Private Investment Program (P-PIP) to buy toxic assets from banks' balance sheets. This qualifies as fellating banksters, and was done with Obama in power.

It would have been enough if the BANKSTERS! would have been allowed to go broke, followed by their mass jumping out of windows. But they were bailed out - and this caused the last bailout, which will cause another one, and so on.

jazz_music says

So get used to it, this will continue until the people either rise up and force regulations once again onto our system or alternately the holders of the debt will declare our government insolvent and put America into receivership, which means corporate rule. I personally believe that is the direction that our oligarchy has set us on.

Imagine the bankers in direct control of our military and all of the enforcement and the Supreme Court set up to enact all the things that make their profits optimal alone.

I don't think they are intelligent enough for any calculation beyond looting/bailouts. If they were, their businesses would not fail and need bailouts. More likely outcome is some type of stagflation and continued looting with the current system in place, which anyhow allows the top 0.001% do whatever the hell they want.

Nearly 500 Accomplishments by President Obama, With Citations

He bombed 7 nations over 8 years, he legalized gay marriage, and he made it illegal not to buy health insurance whether you could afford it or not and he created a national discussion on transgendered bathrooms.

That's his actual legacy.

As the first black president in the United States, he spent a lot of time on trivialities and continued all the wars that George W. Bush lied us into. He was an absolute disaster for the nation, and much more of an embarrassment than Trump could ever be. That people fawn over him is absolutely disgusting. He was George W. Bush in blackface wrapped in a gay pride flag.

Hope and Change - wars didn't change. That's what he was specifically hired to stop, and he didn't. He was a complete failure, and the reason the establishment fucks didn't retain power is because he was so precisely awful.

jazz_music says

That's his actual legacy.

Negative assessment.

No comment about the 500 accomplishments list with citations either.

You really think something like:

"President Obama expanded trade agreements like NAFTA to include stricter labor and environmental agreements. http://bit.ly/etznpY"

Is some remarkable accomplishment that I'm supposed to care about? The reason YOU are pointing to articles written for a "news" paper, is because YOU don't know what Obama did. They are all weak, pathetic examples. How, exactly did Obama change NAFTA to include stricter labor and environmental agreements?

Trump destroyed the credibility of the media and demonstrated they are complete propaganda. He's also discredited the leadership of the intelligence agencies, and has exposed that the DOJ is completely corrupt. He's also demonstrated that both party leadership is pro war, and won't end any of them. He hasn't started a new war either.

That's an actual accomplishment.

I don't have to find some propagandists' puff piece to rattler off what Trump has done, and what Obama did. He was just as awful as George W. Bush, and Bush was awful.

Would the forced pussy sniffing leg lock to the neck have killed George Floyd?

To read the American Mainstream Media, mean and conformist as any pack of hyenas, you would never dream that Biden is actually doing rather well.

They haven't had any credibility in decades. You're wasting your time even paying any attention to them.

Hillary was also way ahead of Trump for almost the entire campaign. In fact, the only time he was ever ahead was right during the Republican Convention I believe, for a day or two. He still won.

"Why aren't I 50 points ahead?"

DILLIGAF says

My approximation figure was always that keeping the death toll below 50,000 would ensure Trump’s reelection. U.S. national deaths between 50,000 and 100,000 in number would put his re-election in the Twilight Zone. Figures soaring above 100,000 would lead inexorably to defeat in November.

Why did author pick this particular pair of numbers? Why not 100,000 and 200,000?

FuckCCP89 says

Because millions didn't die like the democrats were hoping for. Why? Orange Man bad!

The murder indictments haven't started yet, you're going to be shocked by the numbers of people that actually died from pneumonia vs those that were murdered by Liberal edict to pad the numbers. More than half of the US numbers were professional murders.

Why do you keep coming back under new account/user names? It's not a big deal, but I don't understand the reasoning. I know I've posted dumb shit here, but I don't care. Is there a reason for changing names and setting up new accounts?

Agreed.

Trump has accomplished an impressive amount.

Obama was a Democratic clone of G W Bush, who started a major war against Iraq on a flimsy pretext that the media went along with, while everyone knew that it was Saudi Arabia who attacked us. Almost all of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. We should expropriate all Saudi assets.

Obama was not a G W clone. Obama expanded medicaid and increased taxes on the wealthy to pay for it. That's something G W would never do.

Obama was hand selected to be his successor, by Bush. Obama is his 5th cousin.

Bush is a bigger piece of Shit than Obama, that Cock Sucker gave us 9-11, he wasn't just the president when it happened.

The Liberals dominate the Good School Districts, they fight like hell to get 90% of every county budget they belong in for their school districts, and they dominated every adult sized job in the Obama economy. Education, Healthcare, and Government henchmen and Aides.

Wasn't handpicked by G W. McCain's economic advisor stated publicly that the economic downturn was all psychological. With an economic advisor like that, and coming from the same political party that had just run the economy off a cliff, McCain didn't stand a chance.

Another achievement of President Obama:

continued policies of Bush to increase inequality in American society to stratospheric levels:
