You said it brother!
You mean the economic crisis that was created by Bill Clinton through the community reinvestment act and led to the exponential growth of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The two mortgage giants that were identified in 2004 as huge threats. And when W tried to reign them in who motioned to block the legislation: Chris Dodd and Barack Obama. He did get UBL. But I believe the piece of intelligence that led to him was obtained through the much maligned water boarding. Regarding Obamacare, you can't be serious.
It's a disaster. I think Jonathan Gruber does a pretty good job of explaining it.
What we do know is:
95 million Americans are out of work.
The labor participation rate is at it lowest in over 40 years.
He more than doubled the national debt in 8 years.
Median household income is lower today than 10 years ago.
There are more people today on food stamps than 8 years ago.
There are more people today under the poverty line than 8 years ago.
We've had the longest streak since the depression of sub 3% GDP growth.
I'd continue but you get the idea.
And for the record I'm not some angry middle age white guy who watches nothing but Fox News.
