GW shut down all non-business private aviation for months even though general aviation never posed any credible threat to National Security. Almost everything that he did was for looks and not actual results. Even the war resulted in a whole lot of pain and expense for little benefit. I threw away a bunch of crap that we were saving that was sent from the Whitehouse during his reign... Christmas cards, and thank you letters sent to supporters. At this point I want no reminders that I once believed in him and his dad.
In the end, as you said; " Almost everything that he did was for looks and not actual results." And that goes for being silent and complicit in the demonization of anyone who questioned Obama's qualifications for office, as if US Citizens are racist for asking.
