State of the world, Year Eight of Barack Obama:
(1) In the South China Sea, on a speck of land of disputed sovereignty far from its borders, China has just installed anti-aircraft batteries and stationed fighter jets.
(2) Syria. Russian intervention has turned the tide of war. The U.S. response? Repeated pathetic attempts by Secretary of State John Kerry to propitiate Russia (and its ally, Iran) in one collapsed peace conference after another.
(3) Ukraine. Having swallowed Crimea so thoroughly that no one even talks about it anymore, Russia continues to trample with impunity on the Minsk cease-fire agreements.
(4) Iran. Earlier this month, Iran received its first shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft batteries from Russia. The U.S. response? Words.
To say nothing of the Islamic State, now extending its reach from Afghanistan to West Africa. The international order built over decades by the United States is crumbling.
In the face of which, what does Obama do? Go to Cuba.
Yes, Cuba. A supreme strategic irrelevance so dear to Obama's anti-anti-communist heart.
Of course, it mattered greatly to the quarter-million slaughtered in Syria and the millions more exiled. It feels all quite real to a dissolving Europe, an expanding China, a rising Iran, a metastasizing jihadism.
Not to the visionary Obama, however. He sees far beyond such ephemera. He knows what really matters: climate change, Gitmo and Cuba.
With time running out, he wants these to be his legacy. Indeed, they will be.

He is the poster child for affirmative action, because of political correctness giving someone a position souly on the color of his skin, example.......he was awarded the Nobel peace prize without having to do a thing and still hasnt
who would have thought an angry mixed-bred communist and muslim activist mentored/chosen by George Soros named “Barack Hussein” would cause so much trouble? It’s one of those mysteries you hear about
And Krauthammer and the other GOPe-ers did nothing but enable him.
Don’t leave out the enabling and phony opposition from the GOP.
And Hillary has promised to continue the Obama plan.
if the Capitol building were in session and on fire, I would get a stick and some marshmallows
I’m beginning to wonder when it is time to begin buying military surplus gear. If it is too soon, I’m a fool. Too late, I’m an idiot.
And Hillary pledges to carry on with the goals of the Obama administration.
Polls indicate that she’s even weaker against Trump than Sanders. (But she beats Cruz and Rubio.)
“It’s one of those mysteries you hear about”
Not a mystery at all. Who would have thought a republican majority would roll over and give everything Obama wants?
James Buchanan, move over, your legacy was you let the country fall apart and did nothing, Obama let’s the world fall apart and does nothing except help it along.
Stunning. And we thought it was change we could believe in.................
And Krauthammer and the other GOPe-ers did nothing but enable him.

To echo the article, their response was just words. There was no pushback at all. They all let him do whatever he wanted.
And Hillary has promised to continue the Obama plan.
And over half of the voting electorate have twice joined in this treason of Demonicrat insanity.
And the Demonicrats appear to have expanded with the devotion of many Common-Core-flatlined young voters.
Obama’s legacy: complete world disorder
Which is exactly what the twelveth imam, (or one who aspires to be) is supposed to achieve. Strange.
Yes, but it’s the kind of disorder that the American people can still celebrate.
Obama elected twice so much for voter logic you get what you vote for.
Hell Ill-ary = Obama..... in worse
She should be DONE ....normally
