Not that I care, but he seemed to get away with actually achieving very little

Really? I doubt he achieved as much as he wanted to on taking office. But he had the biggest financial crisis since the 30's to deal with at the outset.

 

Halved unemployment - won the Nobel peace prize - steered the US from a borderline depression - introduced the affordable healthcare act - ended the war in Iraq and began withdrawing troops from Afghanistan - agreed a deal to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons - championed climate change emission reduction policy - introduced a whole raft of social and welfare reforms.

 

You might not necessarily agree with them - but the idea that he didn't achieve anything is a bit wire of the mark.

I've never massively followed American politics, but it was often presented that he was frequently thwarted by "colleagues" in the houses.

How accurate this, I don't know.

I never knew that!!

 

he wasn't

 

it was a fake news campaign led by none than Trump

 

Obama proved he was born in Hawaii

 

So Trump renounced it

 

then changed his mind and started going on about it again

The news about Obama being born in Kenya was rife long before Trump had any interest in politics

Didn't stop him going on about it despite it being proved false though

Anyone see a pattern setting?

 

Numerous people bring up Obama being born in Kenya for decades, hardly a whisper, Trump mentions it....meltdowns

 

Obama deports thousands and sticks kids in cages, hardly a whisper, Trump does it....meltdowns

 

Obama says if he gets in power he will recognise Jerusalem as the capital....hardly a whisper, Trump does it....meltdowns

 

There’s always been walls and fences between Mexico and america, no bothers, Trump wants to reinforce them so that they serve a purpose....meltdowns.

 

Hummmmmmm

there wasn't a meltdown - Trump went beyond mentioning it, he was the one that ensured it became "big news" as part of his campaign

 

you could say it was Trump who had the "meltdown" - after Obama produced his birth certificate and Trump acknowledged it was real

he then started going on about wanting to see college applications and passports

Which makes you wonder why would Obama not mention being born in Hawaii in the early 90s when folk first mentioned it!

 

Now instead of the name calling between the pair of them what about the meltdowns that effected and effects thousands of lives, you know important subjects

Loved it when the UN laughed at the moron. 

He's not used to speaking to people who don't lap up all his verbal bollocks. 

That's because under normal circumstances he only meets people that agree with him, because those line that the UN laugh at are the same one were people cheer and applaud him at the rally's he has

Best bit

 

Not long after the people on TV announced that Trump had won Pennsylvania, Jared Kushner grabbed Christie anxiously and said: “We have to have a transition meeting tomorrow morning!” Even before that meeting, Christie had made sure that Trump knew the protocol for his discussions with foreign leaders. The transition team had prepared a document to let him know how these were meant to go. The first few calls were easy – the very first was always with the prime minister of Great Britain – but two dozen calls in you were talking to some kleptocrat and tiptoeing around sensitive security issues. Before any of the calls could be made, however, the president of Egypt called in to the switchboard at Trump Tower and somehow got the operator to put him straight through to Trump. “Trump was like ... I love the Bangles! You know that song Walk Like an Egyptian?” recalled one of his advisers on the scene.
