    How Trump’s Election Shook Obama

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...e8N?ocid=ientp

    What if we were wrong?” he asked aides riding with him in the armored presidential limousine.
    What do you mean, "what if" Mr. President?

    In the weeks after Mr. Trump’s election, Mr. Obama went through multiple emotional stages, according to a new book by his longtime adviser Benjamin J. Rhodes. At times, the departing president took the long view, at other points, he flashed anger. He called Mr. Trump a “cartoon” figure who cared more about his crowd sizes than any particular policy. And he expressed rare self-doubt, wondering whether he had misjudged his own influence on American history
    Expressed "self-doubt?" Misjudged his own influence on American History

    Your entire influence has been reversed, orange crushed, thus fixed.....Barack.

    Set to be published next week by Random House, Mr. Rhodes’s memoir, “The World as It Is,” offers a peek into Mr. Obama’s tightly sealed inner sanctum from the perspective of one of the few people who saw him up close through all eight years of his presidency. Few moments shook Mr. Obama more than the decision by voters to replace him with a candidate who had questioned his very birth.


    It wasn't your birthplace, Barack! It was your socialist agenda and idiotic feckless foreign policy that cooked your goose. And your legacy.

    The was not brilliant by any means. He was politician managed by handlers that would rather debate bathrooms than tariff reform.


    And don't get me started on being just as much a narcissist...That dude loved to hear himself talk.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    Obama, and the DNC moved the Democratic Party away from the working class and embraced multiple fringe groups- that along with Hillary being a horrible campaigner is why Trump won.

    Oil prices rose independent of either campaign. They may have peaked. Also summer gas in the US always rise in cost because of our added environment regulations- the summer blend costs more.

    @Ransom "orange crushed". love it.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Higher gas prices are eating into Trump tax cut, trimming spending by Americans


    The tax cut giveth, and higher gas prices taketh away.

    Rising pump prices are blunting the positive effects of sweeping tax cuts on Americans' spending, potentially undercutting a pillar of economic growth this year.

    President Trump’s decision this week to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and reinstate sanctions against that oil-rich country could constrain global supplies, further pushing up crude and gasoline prices.

    “While the tax cuts have lifted take-home pay for the vast majority of workers, rising gasoline prices are eating into that benefit,” Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients this week.

    I am getting a heck of a lot more in tax cuts than I spend on gas price increases.

    Oil is going to fluctuate in price- that is a historic fact.
