Barack Obama’s presidency was historic. Pundits said it, celebrities tweeted it, and the community organizer from Chicago was not shy about constantly bringing it up.
And it was true.
Over a decade after his inauguration, we are still living in his shadow. His history of economic decline, racial division, and terrorist appeasement is our present. The third term of his presidency under Biden makes him inescapable even long after leaving office. The Biden administration is extending his fundamental transformation of America. Its open borders, woke military, critical race theory, terrorist appeasement, and wealth redistribution are a continuation of Obama’s war on our national sovereignty, on the middle class, on the family, and on free enterprise. From a new administration staffed with all his old people to the familiar economic misery that Americans thought they had left behind, it is as if the Obama administration never ended. And, as the nation endures a third term of Obama, many wonder if it will ever end.
His legacy of defeat abroad and division at home is all around us. From race riots to defeat in Afghanistan, from the war on the middle class to massive power grabs, we are not only still living out his history, but it’s clear that we will go on living there until we break free. Obama made history, but not the way that the mainstream media would have it. The truly historic elements of his presidency were not his accident of birth and choice of racial identification, which a political establishment obsessed with identity politics told Americans would serve as a national atonement for racism. Now that his third term is taking place under an old, white male figurehead, it is clearer than ever that identity is not history. The true legacy of Obama and Biden lies in the impact of their destructive radicalism on the country, not what box they checked on their census form. The community organizer from Chicago did not heal our racial wounds. Instead, he presided over a historically divisive era that reversed generations of improvements in race relations.
But Obama did not just divide Americans by race (“Punish your enemies”), but by gender (“You know, there’s a reason we haven’t had a woman president before”), by faith (“They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion”), by all the flavors of sexual identity, and by every sort of identity politics. He broke America, and the fractures of our time are the aftershocks of his destruction.
Obama powered a historic economic shift that took power away from workers and gave it to Big Tech, that took American jobs and shipped them to China, and that took jobs from black teenagers and gave them to illegal aliens. He oversaw a historic power slide away from America and to China, Russia, and the Islamic terrorists of the world laboring to build their caliphates. And under Biden, in Obama’s third term, all of this is worse than ever. To understand the crisis of the Biden administration, we have to go back to its origins in the Obama administration. And that is exactly what “Barack Obama’s True Legacy” does.
muzzy marxist scumbag. *spit*

I saw through that POS in a matter of hours and spent thousands of my own money to print flyers making it clear that he was America’s MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY. I put a good friend in a wheelchair and had him sitting in front of stores and shopping malls all over northern Virginia and out into western PA and eastern Ohio. Ignorant people ignored my warning and we’ve been paying the price for it ever since.
obama is just a puppet for the socialists that are running things from the universities and people like Soros and the communists in china and russia, wef, Blackrock, Vanguard, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett etc.
Look at western europe now all doing the same.
Not a coincidence.
Buy off a handful of politicians is cheap for these people who think they are ‘elite’.
As the Blackrock employee said that $10,000 can buy a politician.
BTW have you seen how old obama is looking now.
Probably has a disease. He is known as bathhouse barry.
You wouldn’t happen to have that chart still ?
We MUST prevail!
Nothing is impossible with God!
