On topic, for future records:
For the full year, the U.S. grew just 1.6%, compared with its 2.6% clip in 2015. It was the weakest performance since 2011. The last time the U.S. topped 3% growth — the historical average is 3.3% — was in 2005.

If this trend continues, you can bet it would be used against Trump.. but let the records show that things were indeed slowing down in Obama's final year.

Does anyone need further proof that any semblance of rationality has left the poor left. Sorry Antoine, but it's worth pointing out that the Obama's of this world, and more specifically, their policies, are why People such as Le Pen are in the running. Some inflection is needed on the left, but I'm sure they'll just blame Russia.
Wait.. what?

Not totally true. I was in France more than 20 years ago when her father Jean Marie le Pen came on the scene and started to gain traction. There's always been a far-right element in France mostly due to France's colonial meddling elsewhere and the result of that. Ghetoisation has also been a huge problem in Paris and Marseilles with Senegalese, Tunisians and more importantly the Algerians. Trouble has been brewing for decades. More recent events have allowed it to surface again.
But did he ever win? There's always been a far right in the US, and to listen to anyone in the Trump thread, he's their poster boy... So I guess I should just rephrase that with "if she wins".
That said this French Obama brigade doesn't see to think anyone is left enough...Honestly, they should really do some research on what Obama's administration actually did, particularly in the middle east. Is it completely lost on them that the immigration issues pushing the right to the fore are very much the results of Obama's geo-political decisions.... truly facepalm worthy.
The healthcare reforms in the US were big news to a country with arguably one of the best healthcare systems in the world. The french are very proud of their free healthcare and obviously approved of Obama trying to achieve a little of that. Furthermore Obama's predecessor helped with the coining of the phrase "freedom fries" so they were fine with overlooking a few things compared to Bush junior.

never gonna convince the hard cores, on either side, who cares
the left in the south and supporters are still mostly babbling, not often, or been awhile that they are trumped, if not humiliated
whereas, the left won the vote nationally here & for good reasons, vs the then available options

pipe dream just like in canada, at least with some french language basics, the more the better
You don't think a nation being labelled as cowards affects the nations view of the name caller? Ok.
Using a dislike for Bush as a supposedly rational reason for this guy and his movement... Silly.
How so. Dislike of Obama = like for Trump is just as stupid yet that's exactly how Trump got elected. He wasn't Black or liberal or a woman. Maybe it is silly at its core but it is reality.
