Trump calls out Obama

[binö]

Yes, because the amount of support he received from a tea party controlled GOP is indicative of the reality of how his record compares to past Republican presidents.

meanwhile, let's look at a center right dem pres and the support he gets (bill clinton)
family and med leave act
introduced by a dem, passed 265/171 and 71/27
nafta
132 house and 35 senate gop votes
immigration reform, broad bipartisan support
DOMA, introduced by a GOP and signed by clinton
the amount of support his legislation got and his signing of GOP sponsored legislation is indicative of what a truely center politican looks like.

I want you to explain how the support (or lack thereof) of an opposition congress determines whether or not a Presidents policies are left, right or somewhere in between.

Youre not making much sense - just trying to form something into your preconceived ideology.

by claiming obama is center right he should have support amongst left leaning GOP members, which he does not.
because he is hard left, and has been his entire life.
by showing bill clinton's support received from across the asile, you have a better idea of what a truely center president would look like.
three times in this thread you havenot made much sense while attempting to be smug about your preconceived delusions of political granduer
-claiming nat silver is republican
-claiming obama is a right winger
-and claiming obama didn't get any love on the bills i posted because of the tea party being in office (which wasn't the case the bills were passed in 2009)

lol @ all of this. I wish I owned a straw manufacturing plant - Id make a killing off of your posts. I also love the throwing in of the occasional big word or term that makes no sense - how does "preconceived delusions of granduer" apply to my post?. How Mike Tyson-esque of you.

Anybody capable of intelligent discourse that wants to address my posts above:

Starting with Obamacare: explain how mandating that people purchase a product from a private company = socialism. Unless your doctor is a government employee (see the NHS) you arent taking part in socialized medicine.

Also, remind me which president signed the EMTALA, which actually socialized emergency health care?

Feel free. After that we could move on to the concept of a stimulus and perhaps someone could speak to the amount of government purchases from the private sector during the "Reagan Recovery."

What do you do for a living 75th?

Last I checked the auto industry is a major employer in Ohio...

Actually auto industry jobs are down 10% in the state of Ohio. They are not the reason for Ohio job success might be the republican governor.

I co-founded and help run a (very) small investment bank. Basically evaluate early stage technology companies and raise money for them.

Actually, governors have very little to do with job creation in their state, as much as they like to think otherwise.

PolitiFact | Did Mitt Romney's Massachusetts rank 47th in job creation?

Funnily enough, we created our platform to provide an alternative to angel investing, which is extremely inefficient. For instance, the Hyde Park Angels here in Chicago see maybe 500 deals a year and invest in 2-4 of them. Couple that with the fact that if an angel gives a company $500k, they will want to have a board seat, be the CFO, etc.

We raise money on either the retail (individual investors) or institutional level for companies that already have good traction. $3-5 million is our sweet spot.

You may be familiar with this company as, while they were founded in Chicago, they moved their base to Austin:
