Two recent statistics on the performance of the outgoing Obama Administration do not reflect well on his time in office. On the one hand, the Obama years were the only presidential term going all the way back to FDR that failed to meet a 3% GDP annual growth rate for any year of his eight in office. Even the “malaise” of the Carter years did better. So too, did the Great Depression years of FDR’s 12-years at the helm.
Despite the media’s portrayal of Obama as “one of the all-time greats,” in the Gallup poll of job approval ratings of the presidents between the post-WWII period and the present, Obama ranks near the bottom. Obama’s 47.9% topped only Ford, Carter, and Truman. Obama’s rating was lower than the media’s punching bag GW Bush and Nixon, who was driven from office by the Watergate scandal.
Race relations expert and host of MSNBC’s PoliticsNation Al Sharpton attributed these statistics as “evidence that America is still a racist nation. GDP figures are put out by white economists. Gallup poll respondents are largely comprised of white racists. The vendetta against Black people continues unabated despite the heroic efforts of probably the greatest human being to ever walk the Earth.”

The Sharpton quote sound like an excerpt from his diary, or his latest monologue from his show.
