And Obama accomplished more in his first two years than most presidents do. Of course, a lot of it was just cleaning up the complete mess that was handed to him, stopping the bleeding of the economy (which was hemorrhaging 700,000 jobs A MONTH when Obama took over -thank you, George W. Bush) and getting the economy off of life support.

It works for business (you lay off your "undesireables"). SO we just need to get rid of our "undesireables" and make them "someone else's problem." Wheeee! Running a country is easy!

They'd probably be surprised. Employees are considered liabilities, not assets. Employees often go before property or other assets. Good luck running a country like that. The last President we had was a businessman. That sure worked out spectacularly for our economy.

Originally Posted By Donny Trump has done way more then make money as a real-estate developer you have to work with federal,state and local governments not just once or in one place but over and over in different country's it's extremely impressive. 2 facts about Trump 1. he came out against President Bush during his presidency and Trump also contributed to Rahm Emanuel's candidacy.

Originally Posted By Donny Mr. X I know my sentence structure is not the best but why is it that when I make a point you have no good argument for you instead attack my inability to put complete thoughts together.Don't be scared to admit that Trump is better then President Obama,Trump will not hurt you like President Obama obviously has.

Originally Posted By Labuda "Trump will not hurt you like President Obama obviously has." In what manner has the Presidnet hurt anyone, other than not yet being able to get us out of the unwinnable wars that Shrub & Company got us into?
Originally Posted By fkurucz "Trump has done way more then make money as a real-estate developer" You mean he's also a serial bankruptcy filer, or at least his businesses are. I'm sure he does a good job of protecting his assets so he doesn't lose them when one of his businesses goes under.
Originally Posted By fkurucz "In what manner has the Presidnet hurt anyone, other than not yet being able to get us out of the unwinnable wars that Shrub & Company got us into?" Donny probably believes that the current unemployment situation is Obama's fault. Nevermind that we were losing 700K jobs per month after Bush's bubble ecomomy popped in the year before Obama was elected.
