    I gave him credit for the affordable care act in my previous comment. I weighed it against his other shortcomings.

    Still mediocre.

    Apparently I have a conservative mindset for thinking Obama could have done much more with the power he had.

        I read the narrative you were trying to convey. He did a good thing giving protections against healthcare availability.

        Why does that remove him from mediocrity?

          You certainly did not. I chose to assume you just aren’t paying attention enough, and just talk to whatever you think people are saying to you instead or actually reading the text. Otherwise that will mean the level of literacy we’re working with is below zero, and I refuse to assume that, because in this case what are we even doing here.

            You said he “gave people access to healthcare” I agreed.

            What else is there to engage with in your comment?

            Assist me in understanding.

              Wait, seriously? Like, seriously, you’re not joking? You really can’t get the point from the original comment? You have read it and that was your understanding? Be honest, if not with me than with yourself, did you really read it, or just pretended to read and now digging your heels?

                    Your point was that he got people health care coverage that otherwise wouldn’t have been covered. I agreed with that point.

                    My point is that his presidency led us to trump.
