As historians begin to assess Obama’s record as president, there’s at least one legacy he’ll leave that will indeed be historic—but not in the way he would have hoped. Even as Democrats look favorably ahead to the presidential landscape of 2016, the strength in the Electoral College belies huge losses across much of the country. In fact, no president in modern times has presided over so disastrous a stretch for his party, at almost every level of politics.
Legacies are often tough to measure. If you want to see just how tricky they can be, consider the campaign to get Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill 178 years after he left the White House. Working class hero? How about slave owner and champion of Native American genocide? Or watch how JFK went from beloved martyr to the man whose imperial overreach entrapped us in Vietnam, and then back to the president whose prudence kept the Cuban Missile Crisis from turning into World War III.
Yet when you move from policy to politics, the task is a lot simpler—just measure clout of the president’s party when he took office and when he left it. By that measure, Obama’s six years have been terrible.
Under Obama, the party started strong. “When Obama was elected in 2008, Democrats were at a high water mark,” says David Axelrod, who served as one of Obama’s top strategists. “Driven by antipathy to George W. Bush and then the Obama wave, Democrats had enjoyed two banner elections in ’06 and ’08. We won dozens of improbable congressional elections in states and districts that normally would tack Republican, and that effect trickled down to other offices. You add to that the fact that we would take office in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression

Obama doesn’t care about his legacy. It was his mission that he embraced and at least partially succeeded at, to destroy America.
It’s the GOP’s House Now
The Democrats had 257 House members when Obama was sworn in. Today, there are only 188.
The big GOP gains came in 2010, when Democrats lost 64 House seats—the worst midterm showing for a party since 1894.
State Legislatures Turn Red
Democrats controlled 27 state legislatures in 2009; Republicans held full power in 14.
Now? The GOP is in full control of 30 state legislatures; Democrats hold full power in just 11.
His economy ain’t too great either,
Down 502 today.
Hey quota boy, you suck.
Are and always have been in over your head.
If he succeeds in destroying “The Great Satan” - America - his praises will be sung in every mosque for thousands of years.
How much greater a legacy could any muslim aspire to?
Legislative-wise, the democrats still run both houses, as Boehner and McConnell have proven to be nothing more then obama lap dogs. Hence the name Uniparty
for evidence, see 'Trump popularity'.
But he's crazy. Our problem, the problem with America, is that he's not that much crazier than the people who put him in office.
Liberalism is a mental illness. He's just a bit more liberal than those tofu eating, Prius driving fools.
Did you mean it's the Uniparty's house now?
But he’s crazy. Our problem, the problem with America, is that he’s not that much crazier than the people who put him in office.

Call a spade a spade!
I totally agree...he just used the rat machine to please his real masters - the muzzie takeover of the world.
[[If he succeeds in destroying “The Great Satan” - America - his praises will be sung in every mosque for thousands of years]]
Sadly, you are right. We are not the audience he really plays to.
He does care, which is why he will be engaging Steven Spielberg to preserve his legacy in his post presidency. Should be quite a fantasy tale...

Most Freepers are focused on our own problems within a Republican Party who have turned their backs on their Conservative base, a problem that is both real and annoying.
But, the Democrats have much bigger problems which is the reason that they are doing whatever they can do to stuff as many illegal immigrants into the electorate as they can do while they still are able. The Communists currently run the Federal Government and they are on the cusp of running it for a very long. Once they get that done, all of those losses at the state and local level will no longer matter.
Democratic congressional majorities back then didn't count for as much as it might appear, since there were enough moderate to conservative Democrats who voted with Republicans against their more liberal copartisans to defeat some of the party leadership's schemes.
I’ve said before that Obama is going to have some legacy to live with for the rest of his life and he’s a fairly young man. Years from now people will look back and say how could this have happened?
OBozo will leave America is worse shape then the Depression.

“OBozo will leave America is worse shape then the Depression.”
And what did it take to get America out of the Depression? The biggest war in history.
It’s all quickly coming to a head. China is collapsing, the DOW lost hundreds of points this week, Europe is floundering economically, the Middle East is a tinderbox, North Korea is making trouble again, and Latin America is a disaster looking with envy to the north and with a Fifth Column of millions already in place.
This is to be expected when the erstwhile most powerful stabilizing force in the world loses all semblance of leadership.
