My life hasnt suffered at all. I think President Obama did an OUTSTANDING job. He was the first POTUS in a long time to remain scandal free, he was very intelligent and represent Americans very well.
To me race relations havent changed with him in office. People still think the same way but Trump has brought out all the undercover bigots out.

I find it hilarious when people say race relations have gotten worse. It hasnt changed to me. It was just kept under wraps until these Trump rallies allowed the bigots to come out in full force. Then Trump encourages them and hypes them up at these rallies.

Also, I have seen a few experts who believe that a lot of the economic turns were effects from Bush's policies. Whether that is right or not is a discussion for someone with far more expertise than I have on the matter. Many have also pointed out that the unemployment is higher today than it was in 2008, when talking about total number of Americans who are currently out of work. It's not nearly as black and white as you would make it seem.
I agree though; I do think he handled himself well, and I'm not sure I will be able to say the same about Trump in 4 years.

My gains at the gym have skyrocketed. I bought myself a new 2017 Harley Davidson Night Rod Special. Adopted a Golden Retriever puppy. Oh wait, I did those things as I am the master of my domain. No one affects my life but me. Democrat, Republican, black, or white...it's all me. Though the president may take credit for what we Service Members do, I will not take credit for what they do. I see the country as a whole worse off but we shall see what the next administration has in store for us.

MSgt George Cater I can't say we have suffered personally, but our national credibility and security has very much. Race relations is worse, and the national view of our police has suffered a great deal. Without the ROL (Rule of Law), we would descend into anarchy. Hopefully, Mr. Trump can move these things back forward...
I do think (don't hate me) that some of the provisions of ACA were good... like being able to keep kids on our insurance past 23... But, ACA is another topic altogether. Hopefully, we can find a good solution moving forward.
