Welcome to the final full day of Barack Obama’s presidency. Let’s look at his “legacy.”

We should probably thank him...Congratulations, Mr. President, and thank you for your service

By weaponizing the IRS, the Obama administration whetted America’s appetite for the elimination or restructuring of the IRS.

By constantly wailing about the evils of the 2nd Amendment Barack Obama became history’s greatest gun salesman.

I still say that Obama should announce his pardons, and then resign today so that Joe Biden can officially also be Mr. President for the rest of his life, even if he was President for only one day.

There is no positive legacy for Barack Hussein Obama...and, there never will be. I will admit, however......that a dedicated engraved church pew awaits him and Michelle Obama, in the Black Racist Church of the America Hater, Rev. Jeremiah Wright!!!!

Three months from now.....rather then the leader of the Democrat Party.....Obama will be lucky to get interviews with Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck combined!!! Although, I do suspect CNN, the viewerless Cable News Network, will honor Obama with an interview with Van Jones and Debbi Wassermann Schulz together. golly gee...what thrill, “NOT”!!!

You may be right there. It was a great factor in my decision to support Pres. Trump.

Excellent! Obama's legacy. We don't how many of us he has $crewed nor all the ways he has $crewed us.

Hat tip CFP, from the article: "That map is the legacy of Barack Obama. Most of the damage he’s done should be rectified by the next Congress and the next President. But the utter destruction of his own party’s electoral hopes will - at least for the foreseeable future - stand as the only real achievement of his tenure."

Question of the Day: “Will he or won’t he pardon Hillary”? Less than 24 hours to go. Place your bets.

I bet "no pardon." If he does pardon her, then there is a good chance that she will re-emerge -- like Freddy Cruger -- for the 2020 POTUS election, which would conflict with Moochella's goal of becoming the first black, female, former first lady to become POTUS. If he does not pardon her, then there's a chance that HC is convicted and spends the 2020 campaign behind bars (or with a fancy ankle bracelet).

I posted on another thread: "I say no Hillary pardon. As I understand it, Hillary would then be free to answer any and all questions regarding Obama without fear of self incrimination. She doesn't have to 'plead the 5th' or use the tried and true 'I don't recall' defense. She can sing like a bird regarding Obama with no consequences. A 'tell all' re the Obamas? I think Hillary would relish the thought, as would Bill."

"Obama violated Federal Law in not reporting that Hillary had an unsecured server. . and probably many other violations unknown to us but known to insider D.C. attorneys such as Judicial Watch, etc. The probably would love to subpoena Hillary and do depositions regarding potential violations of law by Obama."

Krauthammer: Obama Has Broken The Law 15 Times

75 Times Obama Broke the Law during his Presidency

Take your time Jeff Sessions. Interrogatories, subpoenas, a slow gradual buildup of evidence for multiple violations of Federal Law.

Is he so crass that he would use his last half day, tomorrow, to further destroy this country? I hope he finishes doing damage by midnight tonight.

I think he will. He really has no choice if he doesn’t want a latent crap-storm of stuff to come out of the Clinton black-mail archives. Also, if he doesn’t, he will be on the very top of the current Clinton “hit list”, and they have always been quite efficient at getting rid of anyone who screws them. If he hangs Hillary out to twist in the wind, he won’t live to be an old man. Of this he’s very aware.

I think he will wait until the very last possible moment so he can avoid any political backlash or public outrage that might possibly affect him. Once he’s gone he won’t care.
