End Of An Error

Obama's terrible presidency is coming to an end.

End Of An Error

On January 20th, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. I am not all too excited that Trump is coming in, but I am very much pleased thaat Obama is on the way out. Obama has lied his way through two terms and then lied on his way out during his farewell address. Obama does not deserve a thank you. He needs to be shown the door, because the sooner he leaves, the sooner we can get to work. Let's go through his "Legacy".

Responsible for the weakest economic recovery in American history

Obama loves to brag about how he got us out of a recession and helped create this thriving economy. All of that is true except for being completely false. Barry has had a record number of quarters where economic growth has been two percent or lower, labor force participation was brought down to a 40 year low, and there has been a decline in business startups and investment thanks to the administration's heavy regulations. Those examples are just a fraction of his damaging policies.

Obama's foreign policy has been disastrous

Obama has successfuly weakened America's foreign image over the last 8 years. The Obama administration has lied to us about the Iran deal and they have constantly been against Israel. We also should not let his administration forget what happened in Benghazi. Obama has not performed well on the foreign stage.

Race relations are worse now than what they were eight years ago

Obama could also be described as "The Great Divider" for how much he has been able to push the victimhood mentality and demonize cops. Obama has had a poisonous rhetoric, infecting our society. Polls show that Americans believe that race relations have gotten worse even though Barry stated otherwise. Two racist and hateful groups emerged under his two terms, that would be Black Lives Matter and the Alt-right. Obama has been race baiting his entire presidency, even inviting other race baiters like Deray to the White House.

Obama has been against the values that founded this country. He has lied his way through 8 years of scandals even though he has claimed to be scandal free. The change he has brought us has been awful, and I have not even discussed the dumpster fire that is Obamacare. Obama needs to pack up and get out, because America needs to get to work on repairing the damage he has done. He can kiss all of his so called "progress" goodbye.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
