Obama is not a true Black - continued

Obama did not do anything to address the core economic issues of USA - huge debt and massive trade imbalance with China. He should single mindedly gone after creating employment within USA. Being hugely popular with a large majority of the population, his tough actions on bringing back jobs to USA (like what Trump is doing now) would have got him bipartisan support. Instead he and his party were weak on major issues such as immigration which were of major concern to white voters cutting across party lines. In fact, Hillary Clinton's appeal to minorities as well as women smacked of vote bank politics. It is no wonder that the voters of USA rejected Obama's legacy by voting in Trump.

Trade imbalance with China did not start with Obama. It existed long before Obama took over.

Wrong to say that Obama did nothing to address core economic issues of USA. When he took over, USA was in a complete MESS, the economy in a complete meltdown (it was called the "Sub-prime Crisis").

Explaining away Hillary Clinton's loss as a "reaction to vote-bank politics" doesn't seem right. Wasn't Trump indulging in vote-bank campaigning blatantly too ?

Trump won simply because of social media was hijacked by Russian meddlers, with or without Trump's knowledge and colusion

Obama's legacy

USA had already become weak under the earlier Presidencies of Clinton, Bush by increasing its Debt burden enormously as well as running up a huge negative trade balance with China. Obama should have addressed these concerns and also made the big players like Apple etc to manufacture in USA to increase local employment. That would have made him one of the greatest Presidents of USA. Instead he was continuing to run USA as a superpower which it could no longer afford to be.

Obama is not a true black

The first mistake made by the media is to describe Obama as the first Black President of the USA. He is NOT a Black. He is an interracial. A truly Black President would have been accepted by the Whites as well. Obama's tendency to pontificate without doing anything spectacular is the real reason for the downfall of his legacy.

Trump may be a irritant for us (Indians) but for the average redneck or church going mom he is a angel.
