Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson.

I'm still going with FDR. But Obama's got a shot.

I used to think Biden would be just as bad, but now... I think he’d mostly just do nothing that harmful. hussein’s been doing horrific damage almost constantly.

There is still one way ObaMao could save his reputation:

Find a nice stout rope and hang himself and leave a suicide note blaming it on George W. Bush.

He doesn't have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us..... not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task -- all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us.

It's that he's not one of us.

Many of us have been saying this since before November 2008. Too bad so many didn't heed it.

“Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China.”

####

While not the staunch conservative, we all would like, Nixon’s “disgrace” was largely a Communist media driven event, payback for his efficiency in nailing anti-American Commie hides to the wall during the HUAC hearings.

Nixon made the mistake of staunchly and loyally defending his subordinates after a petty break-in.

To those with even some knowledge of history, Nixon did not require the redemptive “overtures” with China to insure his legacy.

Amen to that! Plus, if Zer0 goes it also means that the socialist voice behind the throne, Mookie, will also be gone. You just know that that angry B has been chirping in his ear, 24/7.

I'd have to agree with you there.

I'm not an expert on the legacies of past US presidents, but from what I know, America has never seen anyone as unsuited and unprepared for the task of governing the nation, in its history.

He may be all those things, but he still was a jack ass of gigantic proportions...(establishing the EPA for one thing). He did as much damage as he did good.

The fact that so many would prefer to have the bumbling Joe Biden as their president only underscores what a pathetic and total failure Barack Obama is.

Like I said, he was not as conservative as we would have liked.

But really, for pretty much the entire 20th century, what president besides Reagan, (himself far from the perfect conservative), did anything to arrest the ongoing march toward larger, more instrusive, more expensive government?

Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.

Nailed it right there!

Why I call him--The Alien Usurper. He is not one of us. He is no American despite his US citizenship, a mere technical fact in his case.
