Here, I'll show you that it can be done...I promise you, that I disliked Obama, as much as anyone dislikes Trump. But here goes...Obama did some really good things with the economy, and he did some really good things with the war on terror.

There, you see? I'm still here, my head didn't explode, the world didn't stop spinning. Turns out, it's possible to give credit where credit is due, even to politicians you don't happen to like. It just requires a willingness to show a speck of honesty, and THAT is sorely lacking at the moment, and it's also a big reason why Trump got elected.
I'll fix that for you
But people screamed when Obama, that you liked so much, legislated by executive order and now it's OK
I don't think his policies are good for this country longterm.
Things are coming to a head with Trump anyways, first it was we had no contacts with russians, then it was no collusion, now it is collusion is not a crime, next it will be?
Trump is doing anything he can to make the economy grow so that he can win the midterms and avoid impeachment.
While it may stand up for his term, just like Obama legislating by executive order the next president can wipe this out also.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

"people screamed when Obama, that you liked so much"

Again, I don't know what's wrong with your reading comprehension, but I despised Obama. He made me sick to my stomach. But the fact is, he did some good things.

"legislated by executive order and now it's OK"

There's plenty of hypocrisy on my side. Conservatives also went nuts over the debt that Obama racked up, but are less concerned with Trump adding to the debt. That's pure hypocrisy. I freely admit that. Liberals do not have a monopoly on hypocrisy. I'm not a thoughtless ideologue.

"I don't think his policies are good for this country longterm"

That's a fair, legitimate opinion to have. What's not legitimate, is to say that the economy "appears" to be growing, when in fact, it is growing, and you know that it is growing.

If he committed an impeachable offense, I will call for his impeachment just as loudly as you or Spence or Zimmy. Fair enough?
