Utter nonsense. Like unemployment, food stamps and poverty began rising before Obama was in office due to the Great Recession; and kept on increasing after he was sworn in.Black on black murder has nothing to do with the riots or this thread or Obama. That predates him also. Food stamps and poverty rose because of the Great Recession.YOu still have
You still haven't addressed why there were so many black-on-black murders during Obama's 8 years. Or why the poverty rose rose, food stamp usage increased, and quality of living went down for blacks while he was President.
I'd really like to hear just how you're going to spin those.
It certainly does. Whose houses, stores, and neighborhoods were they they burning down for the last 8 years? Certainly not the white folk's.
Poverty and food stamp usage among the blacks did not rise because of GW. You can't blame George W. Bush for the crap that happened under 8 years of Obama: You people own it. Obama had the lowest GDP growth of any President in history. The labor participation dropped to Carter era levels. There was a 44% increase in food stamp usage, topping 46 million for 38 straight months in 2015, a record number of people went on Medicare, and home ownership among blacks went to an all-time low
Why the hell do you think black people were so pissed off when Obama was in the White House?
And no, Obama did not have the lowest GDP growth of any president in history. By far, Herbert Hoover had the lowest GDP growth in history. Obama wasn't even second worst -- GDP growth under George Bush was lower than Obama. Only unlike Obama, he wasn't handed the worst economy since the Great Depression, which also lowered Obama's GDP growth...
2000q4 ... 12,679.3
2008q4 ... 14,577.0 ... Bush ...... 15.0% GDP growth
2016q4 ... 16,851.4 ... Obama ... 15.6% GDP growth

That's why I didn't even bother to respond. Nothing you can say or do is going to change the opinion of a leftist. I've been battling those pinheads for the last 8 years on other boards, so screw 'em.
I like a good battle, especially when I know it's one I can win with facts.
DumBama doubled the food stamp role within his first few years of presidency as the chart shows. He did that by lowering the requirements in his Pork bill which the Democrat congress passed. Nobody on the left can deny that. He also increased the amount of food stamps that a person could collect.
