Obama started to reverse Reaganism (so-called neo-Liberalism)
One of Obama's greatest political achievements is halting and reversing the federal War on the Poor with the first War on Poverty program since LBJ: Obamacare ;and opposing tax cuts for the rich;
Obama got passed a first time ever _explicitly_ Keynesian fiscal STIMULUS,$700 Billion, the opposite of Reaganite trickle down tax breaks for the rich , monetary "stimulus".
Obama fought the Republicans to extend unemployment benefits.
Obama passed a Pay Equity for Women law.
Obama bailed out the GM and Chrysler autoworkers from bankruptcy.

Trumpism is a species of the genus Reaganism. What is Reaganism in 2016-20? It is rightwing government continuing the War on the Poor, neo-White Supremacy, escalation of the nuclear arms race and warmongering, union busting. It was initiated by Reagan's Presidential leadership , but politically metastasized among millions of Americans , and was continued after Reagan's Presidency in the Gingrich Gang in Congress with its Contract on America; Bill Clinton's ending welfare as we know it, even, sadly; Bush's Crimes Against Peace in Iraq and Afghanistan and tax cuts for the rich;the tea Republicans and all current Republican Party Presidential nominees, and most Republican politicians with power , and Blue Dog Democrats for 35 years . One of Obama's greatest political achievements is halting and reversing the federal War on the Poor with the first War on Poverty program since LBJ: Obamacare and opposing tax cuts for the rich. Obama has UNstayed the Reaganite course in the Presidency; Reagan's action was only in the Presidency at first; there were Democratic majorities in Congress for all his term. Reaganism spread to Congress and the states later. Reaganism is all around anti-99% policies of government fraudulently presented as pro-working class; it is tragically successful demagogy.
