Rape? Pretty sure that was never on the table.

It's been reported, just not sure how good the sources are.

Good enough for Fox network, anyway. In this particular case, it seems trustworthy enough.

The JB claims never gained traction because of when it happened 1978 and when it was reported 1999. Not suggesting it's impossible but in 78 Clinton was pretty far from the WH. He was behind the presidential firewall back then.

The old saying "Where there's smoke, there's fire" probably applies here. . .

Yes but in BC's case it's a history of affairs. It's not like the Cosby thing where there are many detailed accounts. That's why people are calling bunk on the Trump attack, because he was the BC figure in his own affairs.

By Politifact, Trump is must more dishonest in terms of the false things he says compared to what Hillary has said.

I'd sign up for a lifetime of Obama before I'd choose anyone still in this race. The country is in a better place than it was 8 years ago.

I would only if we had a republican controlled congress. 

The primary reason the country is better is because nothing got passed. There is some thing to be said about just keeping things from fluctuating so much businesses can't get a footing required to stable out.

Some things got passed others didn't, it hasn't been 8 years of total gridlock.

Placing a value on them in terms of how influential they were is something else entirely.

Sure but so far my measuring stick is before 2008 and after. Turned out the sky didn't fall.

As I recall at least one of them was very influential. That one alone might have gotten Trump where he is now. :-P

Sorry to say this, that is horrible logic when trying to determine if a president was good or not. 

If want to take his biggest achievement, his healthcare bill, and why it's not really a good bill. 

Spoiler

 

1. Insurance companies that only make 5-6% profit margins are dropping out because they are losing money on the Obamacare market. 
2. Healthy young people rather pay the penalty each year than get health insurance. The penalty isn't big enough to cover cost of having so many risky people in the Obamacare market pool. The government will not raise the penalty to cover the cost because it would look bad. Obama hasn't been able to get a tax change passed to cover this cost. 
3. Businesses rather pay the penalty and dump their employee into Obamacare. 

This bill did nothing but increase the cost of health care because it increased access, but primarily increased the risk to the market. It also never covered the cost of medical school, the frivolous law suits against doctors, and the fact we'll have a doctor shortage in about 10-20 years.

Then you have this knock on Obamacare, http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obamacare-court-ruling-20160512-snap-story.html

The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law," Collyer noted, but the administration has continued to pay billions to insurers for their extra cost of providing health coverage.

"Paying [those] reimbursements without an appropriation thus violates the Constitution," she wrote. "Congress is the only source for such an appropriation, and no public money can be spent without one."

Basically this means that Obama can't have the executive branch pay out subsidies with out it being appropriated by congress. If you have a GOP controlled congress they can slash the budget of the subsidies. 

 

I don't see much on what he's done other than sit back and let the economy work itself out of the mess the banks and the government put ourselves in.

    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!          
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
    • Wordle 1,092 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Day 175: 6/15/24 Putting practice through gates, and some chipping indoors.
    • Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.
