SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With an eye on his legacy as the clock begins to run out on his presidency, President Barack Obama vowed Friday to "squeeze every last bit of change" out of his final two years.

In brief remarks that touched on his desire to lift up the middle class, a theme he discussed in last month's State of the Union address, Obama noted that his time in office is dwindling but said "two years is a long time."

Long enough, he said, to set the political and policy stage for years to come with his policies.

"Two years is also the time in which we're going to be setting the stage for the next presidential election and the next 10 years of American policy," Obama said.

"I intend to run through the tape and work really hard and squeeze every last little bit of change and improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans and middle-class families that I can," he said, concluding his remarks before launching into a closed-door question-and-answer session with the roomful of supporters.

We will have to wait to see the historic impact of the Obama presidency in different areas.

But, given the threats of Islamic fascism, ISIS, etc. I think that Obama could well get an historic reputation along the lines of Neville Chamberlain. Depending what happens in the future, we may look back at these years in the 2010’s decade as a time when Islamofascism could have been dealt with, but was allowed to grow into a cancer.

Today, we look back at Hilter’s actions before World War II, and we say, he could have been stopped when he militarized the Rhineland, he could have been stopped before the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, etc. before he was strong enough to invade so many European countries. I fear this may be the foreign policy legacy of Obama, that we will look back and see Islamofascism having grown very strong on his watch.

The last election, even according to him, was about his policies. Any American POTUS actually concerned about the consent of the governed would change direction but he doubles down on his transformation - telling us what is good for us....to eat our peas.

An arrogant lying malignant turd and a traitor.

“I intend to run through the tape and work really hard and squeeze every last little bit of change and improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans and middle-class families that I can,”

The drunk, compromised, neutered quisling rat John Boehner and his cohort Chicken Little McConnell will do everything in their power to help this Administration do just that.

I am middle class and took it in the ass, since he has been president.
