The closing arguments for the Obama years are arriving, and they aren’t helping the outgoing president. A case in point is a new book published this week, one that acknowledges “Obama’s supporters have experienced [his presidency] as a continuous disappointment.”
Those supporters, and others, must have noticed that “for most of Obama’s term, wage gains were largely confined to the rich.” Or that “The administration’s planning in Libya clearly failed” or “It is certain that the actual outcome [of Obama’s Syria policy] was disastrous.”
Even many of President Obama’s proudest achievements look about as enduring as April snow: “If there was a single aspect of Obama’s legacy most vulnerable to reversal, it was his achievements on climate change,” the book says, and “Obama’s regulatory offensive is, of course, vulnerable to reversal by Donald Trump or the Supreme Court, since it rested upon executive action.” The longest chapter is titled “The Inevitability of Disappointment.”

Even from his “fundamental transformation” commie-left perspective it was a failure, as it will soon, hopefully, be all or largely undone.
In the case of Obama’s presidency, to say that there is no success quite like failure would be more than wishful thinking, it would be pathological delusion.
Well, there was at least one person who loves O’Dummy’s record: Jimmy Carter.
I'ts all about race, nothing else. The writer cites nothing that merits the claim "You did us proud." Can you really be that blind?
Si se puede.
Obama has the reverse Midas touch.
Obama feels he has had a successful presidency because he achieved most of what he set out to do...
Drag America into the gutter...
I can’t figure out how to make it go faster, maybe you can. ;)
Well, duh!
It’s time to face facts: The usurper inflicted exceptionally grave damage on the United States of America, but patriots in and out of government limited the scope of what could have been far worse.
Waiting for Bob Costas to say it
LOL!
What he did to the nation, we certainly aren’t proud about.
At the very least, he should have to register as a Hex offender.
Hmm. But I keep hearing how Obamas eight years were scandal free.
