Generally, a puff piece with all the usual propaganda. For example, "Democrats today are more than twice as likely as Republicans to say that immigrants strengthen the country." Lacking is a definition of "immigrants" which is where the problem lies. However, the essay "assumes" that we all know the answer (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Pew is far from puff but it may not be slanted in your basic direction so therefore Pew is not credible. Is egocentrism contagious?

Col Rebecca Lorraine - It's always easier to dismiss a person than his ideas, isn't it?

I would say that is true. Your ideas are yours, your dismissal of Pew as unfactual was your but I posted the puff piece and instead of providing perhaps factual opposing info, you chose your words and I accept responsibility for mine.http://time.com/4675860/donald-trump-fake-news-attacks/ CPT Jack Durish -

Thanks for sharing this Colonel. Although we'll never know, It would have been interesting to see what the Nation might have achieved with even an inkling of support from the obstructionist Republican Congress. He was far from perfect but we might have been able to improve infrastructure and employment. I know we often resort to unemployment figures but there are still a lot of families in dire straits, and I think this was key in the 2016 Election. If over 30 Governors had not opted out of ACA it may have turned out differently as well. We'll never know.

Very interesting article. From what I ascertained is that while Obama may not be viewed positively by many, he did improve our global image and he did improve the relationships America had with its allies.
Welcome back, Good Colonel

Thank you, I respect PEW surveys and do think they portrayed an much rosier picture that we just don't see through the media.
