It’s time to face facts: Obama’s presidency was a failure

The closing arguments for the Obama years are arriving, and they aren’t helping the outgoing president. A case in point is a new book published this week, one that acknowledges “Obama’s supporters have experienced [his presidency] as a continuous disappointment.”

Those supporters, and others, must have noticed that “for most of Obama’s term, wage gains were largely confined to the rich.” Or that “The administration’s planning in Libya clearly failed” or “It is certain that the actual outcome [of Obama’s Syria policy] was disastrous.”

Even many of President Obama’s proudest achievements look about as enduring as April snow: “If there was a single aspect of Obama’s legacy most vulnerable to reversal, it was his achievements on climate change,” the book says, and “Obama’s regulatory offensive is, of course, vulnerable to reversal by Donald Trump or the Supreme Court, since it rested upon executive action.” The longest chapter is titled “The Inevitability of Disappointment.”

When Trump is done, Obama will be able to write his legacy on a cocktail napkin.

“Was?

WAS?

Oh, happy day...”

Funny thing, I keyed on the “was” word just as much!

Will we make it?

A miserable failure. Remember that? Libs tried to make Bush's name show up when you google searched for that.

A complete lack of technical correctness is no way to measure success.

He couldn’t get a third term to fully achieve his (destructive) goals, so he’s staying behind in Washington to try and derail the Trump presidency. He won’t go away quietly.

Worse than failure:
a catastrophe
a major setback
a series of unfortunate events
a stupendous display of stupidity
a manifestation of evil
an economic quagmire
a domain of demonic design
a queering of national interests

I don't know who does these graphic memes, but even the labor dept shows food stamp recipients at 46.5 million way back in 2014.

As bad as these stats look, I'll bet the reality is even worse.
