Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In just a few short weeks, the 44th president will look around the White House for the last time, step outside, and close the door on an entire era. For some of you reading this, Obama will be the only president you’ve ever been politically aware of. For others, he’ll just be the latest in a long line that stretches back through the decades. The only thing for certain is that America’s first black president will doubtless leave an enduring legacy. →Subscribe for new videos every day! https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenznet?sub_confirmation=1 → → GET A T-SHIRT - http://www.toptenz.net/toptenz-t-shirts →Top 10 Objects That Were Clearly Invented Just to Annoy Physics: https://youtu.be/0MVGeRa-vLo Entertaining and educational top 10 lists from TopTenzNet!

I know I voted for Obama, but refused to vote for him 4 years later. My main issue with Obama was I wanted us to stop spending billions on the war in the middle east, but he didn't, and therefore it was the only election I didn't vote for the President.

Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2016:
Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%
Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%
Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%
Estate tax went from 0% to 55%
A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added.
Remember these facts:
These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes.
Not a single Republican voted for these new taxes.
These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. -
where the bailout of the big banks?
-
I used to like Simon Whistler, but he doesn't know what he is talking about, when it comes to the US. Obama had decided to take over another huge area of Utah for "Federally protected lands", and Utah is not pleased. He even used a picture from somewhere else, and the government of Utah, thought that this was stupid. No kidding?
-
The "War on Whistlebowers". Does a free country's government have the right to lie to us? For their own agendas? Maybe they should read the Constitution, but, no, they don't want to see the truth if it disagrees with what they want. After all, we are just sheep, right?
-
The unemploment rate doesn't take into account all of the people who gave up trying. Look it up.
-
Libya? Of course, being the US, we made it worse than it was.
-
I believe the CIA knew where bin Laden was all along, and that he was already dead, but for political expediency, it was decided to show it at this time. Look for Navy Seal videos, and you will see what actually happened, and when. Also, why dump his body in the ocean? So no one can see it?
-
Obama had absolutely nothing to do with getting Bin Laden that was a hundred percent the military
-
Anti American and pro American comments down there.
-
You know who Snowden reminds me of? Tom Keen in the Blacklist. And I hate Tom. (His character I mean.) anyone else?
-
6:40 why protect the ocean?? Because there are squids killing other random fish in Hawaii. Keep your eye on the squid.
-
And what about his hand in DESTROYING race relations in the US? Hell I can name a dozen disasters under this joke of a president INCLUDING Obamacare but no mention of those. The bad list doesnt even touch on the real failures on this and shows Top10s serious bias in favor of Obama.
-
I see you deleted my comment once again you are so ignorant of American politics if you want to comment on American politics get someone who actually is an American citizen to do the videos than maybe well take you seriously.
-
Seal Team Six didn't kill Bin Laden. The whole event was a made up propaganda lie, simply to boost Obama's approval rating.
-
If you've been the victim of one of the liars presented in this video, it makes you doubt all the other stuff that's presented. I think that in some of these "bad" cases, the Obama administration is getting a bad rap.
