I meant during the time obama was in office. The market more than doubled during that period. I didn't mean he's responsible for what's going on now. But neither is really responsible. Presidents are like coaches - easy to blame or give credit to when there's really a lot more involved because they're an easy figure to single out. Presidents have next to no impact on the average person's every day life. Sure we get annoyed when they pay off prostitutes or possibly rig elections, but that's just personal opinions. It really has zero effect on my every day life. It's more entertainment value than anything. The president's policies can have an impact in your every day Life. The way they push Congress, executive actions, policies etc have a huge effect. Let's say for example that a president puts in policy of using the IRS to target citizens of the opposite party. That could have a huge impact. Allowing out borders to be useless greatly impacts the days of the poor in our country. Putting our military in never ending wars impacts the days of the average citizen whether they are in the military or have family who is Could and does are two different things. The average American's life isn't really affected by the president. I'm not saying he has zero impact at all on any level possible, but it's very little. Not much changes from president to president. Other than you being happy he's in office, how has your life really changed from the time he took office that he had a direct effect on? Don't tell me your 401k is better than before. |

I remember Jimmy Carter. Big difference between him and President Reagan for sure. Double digit mortgage rates, massive unemployment and wage and growth stagnation. A president has a ton of influence and impact on the American public. |

Thank the fed for those low mortgage rates, not president reagan. The rest is a product of the state of the economy. None of which the president has much of an effect on, but people love to give them credit for. Right time, right place for the ones that get credit. In terms of the average person, the president is no more than a mascot. |

And just an fyi... average mortgage rates were still in double digits under reagan too. |

Until his policies took effect and the economy started humming along. Then they went to near historic lows. |

Yeah... we the people need you to represent us. I have witnessed what happens when a person of color is the big boss, the white guys all get together and assume they’re all f’d. Wonder why they think that? I’m assuming this is in a government type setting? |

that is change you can believe in

Kinda like believing the Obama’s WH was all for BLM killing police officers. Racism goes both ways and both are wrong. My my experiences aren’t invalid because someone didn’t experience or witness it. |

That's a pretty specific number to know how much your saving 6 months before taxes are even due, but ok. If correct and sustainable, that's a difference maker. I'll give you that. I'm not against paying less in taxes. I'll give him credit if I'm paying less this year when that time comes. |
