The Record: Big media and left-leaning pundits are engaged in an effort to revise the history of Barack Obama's four years in the Oval Office. But the facts are clear: Obama is the biggest presidential failure in modern history.
Obama is unique among presidents in large part because he fails to even recognize his deficiencies and mistakes or when he does, he learns the wrong lessons and doubles down on his policies.
Whether it's food stamp rolls that have swollen to 47 million, or the decline in household income that has left millions more with a lower standard of living, or the diminution of esteem for America around the world, Obama's time in office has been subpar.

47 mistakes? Did they run out of time or space?
I dunno about that. At least he made the call that got Bin Laden when he had the opportunity. And he got that opportunity by continuing Bush's policies, taking much criticism from his own side and ridicule from the other in the process. It's one of the very few examples of real leadership I've seen from this President, but I'll give him credit for it.
That's more than I could say for Clinton. His only saving grace was being in office when the Tech Boom, the advent of Ecommerce, and Y2K created all of those tech jobs. Take away the jobs created by the Tech Boom and the tax revenue they created, add in the cost of the WOT, and Clintonomics wouldn't look any better than Obamanomics.
Never thought in my 53 years I would witness a president who makes Jimmuh Carter look like George Washington....
Good, good article.
AM: Do you think this should go on the side panel?
47 mistakes? Did they run out of time or space?
Read the article. It answers that question at the end.
This imposter should be in prison...not sitting in the oval office.
The contents of this article shows why Obama had to stand there like a shadowy mute, at the 1st. debate, and couldn’t refute a single thing that Romney said about him. Poor Obama had/has such a more than dismal record. There was nothing he could defend?
They neglected to mention Obama’s nationalization of student loans.
That will simply keep pushing college costs higher - and eventually will lead to a de facto nationalization of colleges and/or what they teach. Mark my words.
