Now that his time as president has come to an end, it’s time to ask what Barack Obama has done to the country, and how he has been able to do it.
Obama is the most left-wing president in American history. Never mind his speech at the 2004 Democrat National Nomination Convention, or during the run-up to the 2008 election, when he was presenting himself as a moderate.
Someone scrutinizing Obama’s history, including his early years in and out of the U.S., his time in school, his stint as a Chicago community organizer, his law school experiences, and his political career as an Illinois state senator and a U.S. senator, should have recognized him for what he is: a radical leftist, steeped in Marxism, contemptuous of America’s Constitution, hostile to traditional values, and committed to Alinskyite notions of social justice.
It’s stupefying to realize how little the Mainstream Media (MSM) vetted him before January 20 2009. Perhaps it is therefore understandable that some who could not, or would not, recognize Obama for what he was believed he was some kind of moderate capable of uniting the nation along post-partisan and post-racial lines.
Obama’s term as chief executive has been disastrous for the U.S. in terms of both domestic and foreign affairs. There is no need to reprise the litany of Obama’s deleterious policies. If one wants a partial glimpse of the damage Obama and his minions have done to our domestic institutions, read Yuval Levin’s article in the December 2016 issue of Commentary. His disastrous cuts to America’s military, and his commutation of “Chelsea” Manning’s sentence show how little he cares about U.S. national security.
These terrible developments stem from his successes in fundamentally transforming the country.

He was a nobody! He was groomed for just this, to take America down. He is still a nobody, but a nobody on a mission to fulfill his programming! He sucks and is now invisible to my eyes! I cannot say what hopefully becomes of him.
He was able to do it because we have become a nation of whiners with our hands stuck out for free freaking STUFF!!! That is how. If you get enough free crap from the government, you will vote for that party to stay in office to keep getting your free stuff. That is what got this criminal elected. Our first foreign individual to be elected prez of a free Republic. A British born Kenyon became our prez and he was the first muzzie prez also. If people worked for a living instead of milking off the gov for living, it would be a billion, trillion, smillion-million times better.
obama got away with so much primarily because there are so very many cowards holding elected office.
Because the public willingly didn’t see what he was doing, with the help of a lying media.
He should have been IMPEACHED early on...
Congress was derelict and negligent...
That’s how...
How? With the assistance of Republicans led by Boehner.
Back in 2007, a Hillary-supporter friend asked me what I thought of Obama. I said ‘he’s an empty suit that the news media is promoting’. But I started looking into Obama to see what he was really about. He took very few votes when he was in the Illinois state Congress. But one vote he did take,.....he voted against BAIPA. I thought ‘this man has no conscience’. I wouldn’t have voted for a Dem anyway, I knew I would vote for whoever the Rpublicans put up. I am just surprised Obama has been able to fool so many people for so long. I have many friends lamenting him leaving the White House. Like they don’t see what he has really done to this country. We MUST get the education system back to EDUCATING, not INDOCTRINATING. Return the responsibility to the states and let them control their schools. NOW.
It only takes one word: RACIST
The DemocRATS have established this word to intimidate anyone from questioning any member of the DemocRAT party. However, if the person is not black, then we have other words to use: sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, etc.
However, as usual, the DemocRATS have overplayed their hand. Now, they have overused the word “racist” to the point that IT NO LONGER HAS ANY FORCE BEHIND IT.
And .. Hillary put the nail in the coffin by calling us all “Deplorables” .. which we love.
Good job DemocRATS ..!!!!
Because in a perverse sense, Eric Holder was right.
We are a nation of cowards when it comes to race.
Essentially white politicians run for the tall grass and cower in fear whenever they hear the word “racism......BOO!”

A haiku:
He’s Manchurian
Groom’d to fulfill agenda:
Destroy our greatness
In fact, he's a perfect reflection of the people who elected him.
A haiku:
Demonization
Of those who love their country
Those were his orders
He was elected the first time because the media (and Democrats, but I'm being redundant) tied the financial crisis on Wall Street to the policies of George Bush. Bush never defended himself--any of his actions--and that was his downfall. Furthermore, the Republicans ran a terrible candidate in 2008, in John McCain.
Adding to Obama's allure was the fact that he was a light-skinned black man. The nation, already treading lightly on the eggs shells of political correctness, wanted to prove they weren't "racists" and voted him into office.
From there, he's been on an 8-year honeymoon, as no one in the media dared challenge him or his administration for fear of being labeled "racist." Even so-called "comedians" wouldn't touch him; he wasn't parodied, mocked or at the center of many jokes.
Trump will have no such honeymoon. His personality for one, won't allow for it. But mostly, those on the Left (including the media) don't like Republicans, but his style is combative, and they'll be ready for a fight.
Go way way back....find who shoved Obama forward, and then look in the shadows.
He has an answer to the second part:
"Congressional Republicans and the media."
No question.
Indeed, these people care less about politics, just how they are going to get their free stuff
