Obama Attempts to Distort His Legacy
AIM ^ | November 24, 2016 | Roger Aronoff

Posted on 11/26/2016 5:28:28 AM PST by detective

The election of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on November 8 was not only a rejection of Hillary Clinton, based on her trustworthiness and her legal and ethical problems, it was also clearly a repudiation of Democratic policymaking, with Trump promising to eliminate or revise a number of Barack Obama’s signature achievements. But, speaking to the press in his first press conference after the election, President Obama maintained that he is leaving the White House and America in as good a shape as possible.

“As I told my staff, we should be very proud that their work has already ensured that when we turn over the keys, the car’s in pretty good shape,” Obama told the press on November 14. He then pointed to the jobs market, poverty levels, health insurance, and curbing carbon emissions. “…[M]y goal is on January 21, America’s in the strongest position possible and hopefully there’s an opportunity for the next president to build on that,” he said.

Does he base these beliefs on ANY advice from his czars or does he make up this crap out of whole cloth? Has he even SEEN any real numbers?

We’re circling the drain and he thinks it’s a merry-go-round. Incredible.

He could easily curb more gas emissions by just shutting the hell up and going away

Just in regards to the military, I hope President Trump’s legacy is “we’ve got your back.”

Obama’s is “we’ve got your backside.”

Obama has been living in a parallel universe, a different dimension since 2008, out of sync with what is truth and falsehood, leading us into an abyss of his own creation.

Jobs: down

Poverty: up

Health insurance: unobtainable

Curbing carbon emissions: lunacy

Indeed, on all counts: Obama is batting zero. Only someone who epitomizes cluelessness could claim that America is in great shape after eight years of incompetency.

Yet we are the ones accused of promoting Fake News. I really hope this country has awakened to the continuous manipulation by Obama’s Big Media. I am not convinced it has completely awakened.

Barack Hussein "maintained that he is leaving the White House and America in as good a shape as possible."

That is true, although not the way that communist meant it to be understood. I am amazed that America is still standing after eight years of destruction by the most evil, anti-American bigot ever to set foot in our White House. Our national debt has been doubled to $20T. Our medical care system has been wrecked. The world is far less stable. Terrorists are rising globally, including among the 15-20 million or more illegals invading our country. With all that, it could have been far worse if Barack Hussein had been more energetic and more clever in his plans to destroy freedom.

His legacy is Hillary Clinton. He beat her. He hired her. He loved the work she did for him as SoS. He endorsed her for President. He tried to cover up the mess she made as SoS, He campaigned for her presidency. If it gets to the point that he has to pardon her before he leaves office, books, movies, decades of analysis by analysts and maybe even laws passed prevent us from straying into a dictatorship again, with his and Hillary's names in the title, to remind us, who they were, what they did and why they wanted to do it to us.

No doubt he was pitied as a child for being of mixed race. Back in 1961, it was severely frowned upon. When a child is pitied, there is no level of expectation for said child.

Witness those “parents” who feel guilty about divorce, etc. and compensate by having zero expectations and simply overindulge their children. Who turn out to be spoiled brat little dictators.

Obama is the textbook case of the result of pitying instead of having expectations placed upon him.

Most of the Millennial Generation as well as Generation Snowflake were raised this way.

To top it all off, the aforementioned generations are also given A.S.S. (Adult Spousal Status) as their separated/divorced/never married “parents” view them as their equals/confidants from the moment they are born and end up “free ranging” them.

Said generations have complete control over their parents, leaving them deep down distrustful, dissatisfied, insecure and generally miserable.

A legend in his own mind. The only thing he can attribute to his legacy was that he was born half black.

Yes, Obama thinks he can speak things into existence. Completely delusional.

To complete his work, he will likely set fire to the White House as he walks out the door. And unlike Dolly Madison, Melania Trump is not moved in yet to save anything.

Everything out of his mouth is to prime the pump for big buck donations to his tax-free foundations (two that we know of). Valerie jots it all down....and ....bingo....he's got another fund solicitation letter ready to go.

==============================================

This dangerous megalomaniac clearly got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

===============================================

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough Boobamba says he intends to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

All of this is fodder for his foundations. The reality is the Boob and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.

GET READY FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL MONEY-MAKING MACHINE ---Boobamba already has two Clintonesque get-rich-quick foundations (that we know of)....mission statements sounding suspiciously like the Clintons.

SOURCE http://www.barackobamafoundation.org/

President Obama said, "the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen. " (TRANSLATION: Me and Michelle want the money pouring in faster than we can spend it.)

FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT (cue laugh machine): The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

Inform visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

===========================================

ROTFLOL.

Prior to the 2008 Presidential election, candidate Obama stumped in Ohio.

His uplifting words mentioned "good jobs, high paying jobs ..." and that he would cut the Federal debt in half, ..." "I will close GITMO in the first days in office ..." was also heard, ...

He, as we know, was elected in 2008.

After four years of dismal economic growth, a few "red lines," and continued military non-CONUS presence, ... it was all Shrub's fault.

He was re-elected in 2012 ... go figure?

So, by some accounts (which cannot be rationalized) in the real world, ... All is Well as I pass the baton."

His legacy will be written by the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague that he will be facing next spring.
