@catbeasy,
Our domestic policies under Obama have been just as inept and lead to just as many bad consequences as has his inept foreign policy. He hasn't balanced a damn thing - he's dropped every ball that came his way.
Obama's persistence in interpreting undesirable events arising in the Black community as a consequence only of supposed White racism has bred irresponsibility and destructive internal leadership on their part and growing civil unrest in the country. Inocent Policemen sitting in their vehicles were assasinated by possibly racially motivated Black men with no comment whatever from our President while lawful arrests of theives by white policement are labelled as racially motivated by him. There are real problems on both sides of this issue but the persistent focus of the president on only one aspect of this matter has done real harm to all involved.
We recovered OK from the 2008 Housing bubble, but our economic performance since 2010 has been seriously hampered by the flood of restrictive (and unpredictable) regulations affecting every aspect of commerce at the hands of an administration that sees a need for government intervention in almost everything. As a result companies are retaining cash and unwilling to invest it in new economic enterprises. The result is reduced job creation and stagnant wages. Instead firms use their cash to pay dividends and buy back their stock, thereby boosting its price. Owners and investors do fairly well but workers are screwed. This is the cause for the growing split between the middle class and the well -off, but our stupid administration refuses to recognize this well known and increasingly obvious fact.
Perhaps it isn't suprising that their appointed Democrat successors are having a very hard time recognizing the reality of the election either.
