It is much more difficult to change the minds of Obama supporters and liberals, despite the facts; during the Obama administration: real wages declined during the eight years; the U.S. economy grew at its slowest pace since the Great Depression; millions more were on welfare; millions more were on food stamps; unemployment was stagnantly high for years at and very near 5 percent (fueled in large part by over-regulation that held the job creators down); the racial divide widened; the class divide widened; law enforcement was denigrated too often; America's leadership in the world slipped; ISIS was allowed to develop and gain strength after the pre-announced withdrawal of most of American troops from the Middle East; Americans were targeted by the IRS because of their political beliefs; health insurance premiums and deductibles skyrocketed; Iran was given a path towards nuclear armament; four Americans were killed at Benghazi because a stand-down order to the U.S. military and then a lie was told repeatedly to the American people about what caused that terrorist attack; Fast and Furious; and charges were dropped against the New Black Panthers for blatant voter intimidation.
