The closing arguments for the Obama years are arriving, and they arent helping the outgoing president. A case in point is a new book published this week, one that acknowledges Obamas supporters have experienced [his presidency] as a continuous disappointment.
Those supporters, and others, must have noticed that for most of Obamas term, wage gains were largely confined to the rich. Or that The administrations planning in Libya clearly failed or It is certain that the actual outcome [of Obamas Syria policy] was disastrous.
Even many of President Obamas proudest achievements look about as enduring as April snow: If there was a single aspect of Obamas legacy most vulnerable to reversal, it was his achievements on climate change, the book says, and Obamas 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.

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.
