Obama's biggest sin is being born black. I have never met one of them who thinks Obama did anything good. They all think Trump is a successful businessman and is good for the economy. I don't think they are stupid. I think that their entire worldview and political affiliation is warped by their prejudice and racism that has been instilled in them, usually from the day they were born.

you will find it always comes back to race. It is like 7 out of 10 people around here support the sob. Being a white guy myself I hear them use the n word on a daily bassis. In the general public you wouldn't think that but in private they do.

turned the economy around. You can recite the facts like the unemployment figures or the Dow average when Obama took office but they refuse to believe it.

He loves taking advantage of them because he can con them easily knowing they won't be able to find the facts and the truth, and instead will blindly believe his propaganda, and help him promote it. He's just using them , just like putins using trump from stupidly allowing himself to become so compromised.

to pay for everything in the budget! They think he gives all his money to charity and that he pays for all his campaigning and golf trips out of pocket!

Seriously, a behavioral health counselor told me that recently. Many of his clients have told him this. I'm not surprised.

One is a lawyer (so I guess its debatable), two are engineers, two nurses, two pilots, etc. But its like they leave all that at the door as soon as the topic turns to trump. Its really amazing to see how they drop all objectivity when he is the subject. So he is rarely the topic when i'm around.
