I agree with your take.

There are still fools and dupes who honestly believe that the people that put Obama in power have any love for their own country.

Obama did exactly what he was put in place to do. And as a bonus, like the Clinton Regime, managed to ensure that an existential enemy, Iran,(in Clinton’s case, North Korea) has gained as much ground in producing a deliverable nuclear weapon as possible.

This is in keeping with the D cold war strategy with Carter providing USSR with a massive truck plant which produced the vehicles necessary to make the, at that time, new and improved mobile surface to surface nuclear missile system possible. Of course, the reason provided to his fellow Americans for this was to allow the poor Russians to build the trucks they needed to haul grain from the fields to the cities to alleviate the near famine conditions in Russia at the time. Unfortunately, that near famine was due to the Russians taking the greater majority of their own grain supply, plus what we were giving them in aid, storing it in specially constructed warehouses, spraying it with a substance, and growing a fungus which produced “yellow rain” a horrible, flesh eating bio weapon.

And Carter gave the PDRChinese one of the few existing super computers. The excuse given for that was to aid the commie Chinese education system. The computer complex was installed into the 3rd floor of an admin building on the college campus at Peking. Funny thing is, though, that that admin building was admin for the PDRChinese strategic nuke missile command and no one other than members of that command were allowed anywhere near that building.

Yes. There’s a difference between legitimate trade or helping a friendly country -—— and giving our most dangerous advanced weapons and technology to communist dictatorships or Islamic regimes. Hopefully DJT will see to it that reason prevails hereonout

I thought this was hilarious.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria recently offered a two-hour special concluding that America failed its president: “It remains unclear if the country was ready for Barack Obama’s vision.”

A pic from the 2008 campaign:

Obama set out to make it so.

and got 1 SCOTUS pick

Two. Sonia Sotomayor, the Wise Latina, 62, and Elena Kagan, the wide hack, 56.

Then there is Merrick Garland, 64, whom Zero appointed last March to fill Justice Scalia's seat. Whatever you can say about Mitch, he made the Senate sit on the Garland nomination all through the campaign and the election.

But, apparently, the Donkees think they have a plan to slip him thru in January.

Has this pub apologized yet to Trump and all his supporters?

#12 Well I don’t know about that. He did lower his handicap on the links.


I bet he is lying about that too just like the unemployment rate.

My point of course is that as much golf as we’ve bought for Obama he should be on the PGA tour by now. I’ll bet he still can’t break 90.

Jonathan Chait’s ill-timed forthcoming book argues that “in the eyes of history, Barack Obama will be viewed as one of America’s best and most accomplished presidents.”

He did one thing good. He accelerated the liberal agenda into hyper speed thus waking up the silent majority. Had he plugged along at the normal speed and slowly transformed America just as other libs before him; those who were sleeping might still be and we would have hrc in office now.

He also showed the country and the world the danger of the liberal mindset and agenda and why it must be stopped at all costs.

So yeah, his Presidency was a failure in our eyes but to those who agreed with his vision, he did well. I think he sucked, will always suck, and sucking is all he has ever been good at but hey; that’s just one person’s opinion eh.

WE will probably hear more about, and from the Obamanass after his departure from the White Hut than ever, because the leftist MSM won’t let us have otherwise.

Exactly. Get ready for pronouncements from "The Office of the Former President of the United States", complete with a new shield on the podium.

I beg to differ with the writer. Obama succeeded. Men in girls’ bathrooms, no Confederate Flag, white cops being assassinated at high rates, muslim terror in the West increased, massive muslim invasion of the West. Obama succeeded. That is the problem, and why Trump will be next POTUS.
