Assessing the Obama Legacy—Against His Own Milepost

The president’s stated priorities have not turned out well. In his 2016 State of the Union address, President Obama summarized his achievements. That same night, the White House issued a press release touting Obama’s accomplishments. Now that he will be leaving, how well did these initiatives listed in the press release actually work out? “Securing the historic Paris climate agreement.” The accord was never submitted to Congress as a treaty. It will be ignored by President-elect Trump. “Achieving the Iran nuclear deal.” That “deal” was another effort to circumvent the treaty-ratifying authority of Congress. It has green-lighted Iranian aggression, and it probably ensured nuclear proliferation. Iran’s violations will cause the new Trump administration to either scrap the accord or send it to Congress for certain rejection. “Securing the Trans-Pacific Partnership.”

Obama’s legacy is the election of Donald Trump with Republican control of Congress; Ferguson/Baltimore is the icing on the cake.

I would not be surprised to see Obama work in one last State of the Union Address days or even hours before the inauguration, perhaps not a formal address but one that comes close.

The sick diseased liberals and thier media lap dogs will create the false narrative that he was a shining star atop the hill when we all know he was an arrogant, little turd who was given the presidency by our enemies foreign and domestic because we were programmed to run scared of the “racist” tag

The cover-up has already started. The media has their “Trump is inheriting an economy already on the road to recovery” talking points and are busily creating the new reality for those they hope are too blind to see the truth.

It is astounding what damage this fake president did not only to this country but to the rest of the world.

Did the sea levels fall yet?

When Obama took office in January 2009, sea level was 2.03 inches higher than the benchmark year of 1993.

Today, sea level is 3.2 inches higher than the benchmark.

Sea level has risen .99 inches during the Obama Administration.
