I do believe that both Clinton & Obama brought down the deficit.

Trump Promises On Health Insurance Appealed To Family Struggling With Cost : Shots - Health News : NPR
i have no doubt that Obamacare premiums may have been as much a determinate of the election as much as Comey or fake news or any other reason given for the results.
but what i hear from these people is what they really want is a public option. that seems to be the only solution where everyone has access to quality insurance, and that insurance is affordable.
Do you miss the good old days when the press just fainted in the presence of POTUS? This guy is an embarrassment to journalists everywhere.
Yeah I voted for him, and I would do it again. He's a bull in a China Shop, and the China Shop is our government which has descended into a cronyist morass over the past 20 years. 15 trillion in debt since 2000. It's time to break some china (no pun intended). I didn't watch the whole press conference, but I thoroughly enjoyed the parts that I did. The press has a lower trustworthy rating among the Public than the congressional favorability rating of ~15%.
CNN has truly become a joke. Proven collusion with the DNC against Bernie and Trump. If you say that is BS, then why was DWS forced to resign? That is not journalistic integrity of holding Truth to Power.
We have had 8 years of Obama bashing Fox News. Trump calls CNN 'fake news' and suddenly everybody is panicked that the 1st Amendment is on the chopping block.
Everybody take a deep breath.
America's health insurance situation certainly needs an overhaul, both pre and post-ACA, but it seems that a little education for its citizens on why insurance is so important in the first place wouldn't be a bad place to start.
NEW YORK -- Donald Trump was met with a rousing round of applause when he exited the elevators Wednesday at Trump Tower for his first press conference in 167 days.
But that enthusiastic greeting came from supporters and members of his own staff, not the estimated hundreds of reporters who gathered to ask him questions.
Trump's family waited in the wings of the stage to his right, while senior advisers including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer and Steve Mnuchin stood to the left, out of view of the cameras. A small, vocal group clustered near Trump's family by the elevators acted as cheerleaders for the President-elect for the duration of the hour-long event, laughing heartily at his jokes and responding aloud to his rhetorical questions.
When Trump asked if Russian president Vladimir Putin would have found Hillary Clinton to be a greater adversary, a few of his staffers called out "no!"
His mention of his longtime secretary, Rhona Graff, while he recalled how he set up his own test to smoke out any leakers on his staff after a meeting with U.S. intelligence officials was also met with a knowing chuckle.
This chorus of affirmation made a jarring contrast to the adversarial tone of the press conference itself. Trump refused to take questions from a reporter from CNN, which he branded "fake news," and from BuzzFeed, which he called a "failing pile of garbage."
CNN on Tuesday published a report that U.S. intelligence officials presented both Trump and President Barack Obama with a two-page document summarizing allegations that Russian operatives had "compromising personal and financial information" about the President-elect, while BuzzFeed published the 35-page dossier from which the news site said those allegations were drawn.
Most notably, applause broke out in Trump’s cheering section when he shut down the repeated efforts of CNN’s Jim Acosta to get a question in and admonished him not to be “rude.”
“No, I'm not going to give you a question,” Trump told Acosta. “I am not going to give you a question. You are fake news.”
“Mr. President-elect that is not appropriate,” Acosta interjected.
As other reporters stood up to get the President-elect’s attention, a few in Trump’s circle whooped and others clapped enthusiastically.
Because Trump's staffers and supporters were blocked by a line of reporters crowded into the packed room, it was difficult to differentiate them from members of the press. That prompted some observers on Twitter to believe that it was the assembled journalists applauding

I also love how the right is laughing at CNN as if the left likes them.
I blame CNN largely for where we are today. It's their 20 years of "presenting both sides" and "both sides do it" false equivocating and their running of Trump's events, speeches, interviews 24/7 for the last year that contributed to him getting elected. Appalling behaviour driven by ratings/money.
So they can go fuck right off along with the revolting Trump.

FFS you have to learn to make honest and real comparisons.
I've edited this post 5 times, trying really hard to be nice; it's embarrassing that you think this is the same.

Bring back George W, he's like a dream compared to Trump. Trump is a con artist and trying to bluff his way through being president, he clearly doesn't know what he's doing which combined with his lashing out and narcissism is a terrifying prospect. If we think it's bad so far, it's only going to get much worse.I'm watching Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz complain about the UN treatment of Israel and talk about how Obama has been so terrible, our enemies don't fear us and our friends don't trust us, etc.
And it feels ok. Because they are speaking actual, understandable, appropriate language on topic about which they are informed. And you know what, they aren't talking about themselves and how great they are, just terrific, and how there are so many sick, sick people out there who are out to get them.
The difference between these two and our PEOTUS is profound, and these two are hardly a high bar. But I feel like they are using their words in appropriate, informed ways and are speaking about something other than themselves. They are wrong, but they are using a langue with which we can disagree.
The Trump team and their denial of reality and discrediting of facts are a bunch of nihilists.
you guys are just living in the liberal echo bubble. if you'd get off your elitist high horses you'd see all the good Trump is going to do.
BVS was successful, as embarrassing is the absolute nicest way to put it.
There's being loyal to your party, and there's being blind. You, sir, are Steveie fucking Wonder.
So that's a thing.
