Are people actually saying this?

If true some of this country is more out of touch than I thought.  What is Obama's one big thing he did in his 8 years? Obama Care?  Obama phones?  I am not and never was a Trump supporter.  I don't vote Democrat or Republican.  I despise politics and what it has become but to say that Obama was a positive as a President doesn't work for me.  This country has deeper race issues than I can remember in my lifetime and that that did NOT start with Trump.

Obama might be a great man and I don't want to discount him as a person.  As a President I can't feel good about what he accomplished and the direction this country went under his tenure.  Obama was an awful Commander in Chief.

Trump has made me feel better about this direction is going in just his first year.  If you can look past the media and the drama they like to associate with him (yes he brings some of it to himself) what has he done in his first 365 days that is so bad?  This country is in a better place now than it ever was under Obama in my opinion.

The market is going to continue to drop if I had to guess.  The correction was going to happen and the market can't rise forever.  If people are patient this drop has potential to earn people a lot of money when it corrects back in the other direction.  When will that upward correction start again? It could be later this year, next year, I don't know but it will happen.  I hope it does drop further so I can buy low while I push money into my mutual funds and IRAs.  Patience is the factor and a lot of people don't have it.
