BUMP THAT!

Here and abroad, the Obama administration damages whatever it touches.
The next president and Congress will inherit what President Obama left behind. Whether Democrat or Republican, the president will have no choice other than to try to undo much of what Obama has wrought. But can he or she?
THE MIDDLE EAST
The policy of “leading from behind” and the crudity of “We came, we saw, he [Qaddafi] died” have left a human tragedy in Libya. Backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was an inexplicable choice, and it almost ruined the country ... ISIS was airily written off as a jayvee bunch as it spread beyond Syria and Iraq. There is little need to do a detailed comparison of Iraq now and Iraq in February 2009 (when it was soon to be the administration’s “greatest achievement,” a “stable” and “self-reliant” nation); ... the mess in between is attributable to Obama’s use of the aftermath of the Iraq War for pre-election positioning. Ordering Assad to flee while ignoring the violence in Syria and proclaiming a faux red line has now tragically led to a million refugees in Europe (and another 4 million in the neighborhood) and more than 200,000 dead. Israel is now considered not an ally, not even a neutral, but apparently a hostile state worthy of more presidential invective than is Iran... The Russia of kleptocrat Vladimir Putin is seen in the region as a better friend than is the U.S. — and certainly a far more dangerous enemy to provoke.
There is no easy cure for all this; it will take years just to sort out the mess.

"The tragic mess of 2009–2016 is ending, and soon the cleanup will begin — accompanied by stupefaction as to just how much will have to be thrown away."
It’s not “Obamism”, it’s “0bamunism”.
VDH ping ...
Only with real conservatism and constitutionalism. None of this American Idol BS.
BUMP THAT!
“Is Obamism Correctable?”
No. Nor is GOPism. Both bots will stand at their respective Pillars of Styro and defend them until their dying breath. And they have proved it time and again while calling their actions ‘conservative’, in the case of the GOP, The libs call their devotions ‘constitutional’ and ‘progressive.
In reality, both are openly communist.
“Is Obamism Correctable?”
Yes!
First, you build an Ark......
HA! We won’t even get Medicaid enrollment back down to manageable levels.
2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014.
It was a lesser evil.
History has never been inconsistent on this fact.
o-bom·mu·nism
oh-ˈbämyuˌnizəm
noun
1)Crony Socialism.
2)All the worst of Socialism, combined with all the worst of cronyism.
3)The worst form of government there is.
It is very correctable, but it will take a number of years to get the USA cleaned and fixed up.
bfl
Even then it wont be undone without violence.
Obama has been very successful at creating push button mobs that are more than willing to resort to violence on command.
Obama will do what he will do, knowing that those push button mobs WILL get crushed under a new President. Americans have had it.
In their Anti-War-with-Islam rush to zero and the left, American RAT voters chose dishonor over war, now they have both.
I hope even 20% of those voters have figured it out by now.
You stole my response word-for-word. I love VDH and his amazing grasp of history and current events, but he keeps insisting on calling it “Obamism.” Really bugs me.
If the President is the one crushing the mobs the left has won.
You’ve got a dictatorship which is what the left has been after all along.
Welcome to the Weather Underground playbook.
It will feel good doing it. Just look how much fun it has been to watch Trump smash one empty PC taboo after another and then double down for emphasis.
Not without lots and lots (LOTS) of hurt and sufferings from all. Even the ‘elites and elitists’ won't be immune.
