“Since Obama chose to ignore Congress, much of his ‘legacy’ can be wiped from history with a signature from that magic pen of his, which Donald Trump will soon wield.”

I sure wish I could’ve taken more comfort in that fact while it was happening, but it sure felt like a stick in the eye to all of us, EVERY time this POS did an end-run around Congress.

I wrote this to a friend yesterday:

I realized today, probably since viewing the PBS American Experience program, The Divided States of America, that I can actually eke out a little bit of gratitude toward soon-to-be-former pres__ent B. H. 0bama.

I am grateful that he didn’t fundamentally transform the U.S. enough that we can’t reverse the damage.

I am grateful that his actions in his first six months of office led to the outrage that birthed the Tea Party movement, putting over 80 tea party candidates in Congress.

I am grateful that GOP state and federal legislators have continued their gains in every election since 2010.

I am grateful that he didn’t close Guantanamo and cede the land to Raoul Castro.

I am grateful for the little poison policy pills he has left behind, for we’ll be reminded of his treachery every time Trump has to fix one of them.

I am grateful for his hypocritical wearing of the flag pin, for we’ll continue to be reminded of Pres. Trump’s true love of country.

I am grateful for the petulant boycott of the Inauguration by 0’s hysterical supporters, for that will leave more seats for Deplorables.

I am grateful for his pretending to be magnanimous to the Trump Transition Team. If it isn’t genuine, at least there’s the appearance of respect. It’s better than being in the streets with a bullhorn leading the faux insurrection.

I am grateful in advance if his people don’t trash the White House. 0 isn’t a Clintonite. I am grateful that everything he tried to do to get Hillary elected backfired.

I am grateful he will no longer be using Air Force One.

I am grateful he can appreciate the intelligence and innate skill of Donald Trump in winning the White House by plowing through the elites of both the Republican and Democrat parties. I am glad he has publicly stated one should not underestimate Trump.

I am grateful he sent the Winston Churchill bust back to the British, for it will be all the sweeter to enjoy its return.

I am glad he stabbed Benjamin Netanyahu in the front, only to increase respect and cooperation for the Israeli Prime Minister.

I’m somewhat glad he bungled everything from Fallujah to Benghazi, because it will gain respect for Trump’s generals.

I’m grateful he downsized our military, for it will re-emerge to be the best equipped and staffed military in the world.

I would be grateful for his half-billion dollar check to the UN this week if it’s the last money they get from us, to be used to vacate our shores.

I am grateful for his regime’s political correctness, as the power of our resulting fury swept Donald Trump into the White House.

I am grateful he didn’t declare martial law and occupy the White House for a third term.

I’m grateful for 0’s endless narcissistic soliloquies, because they are essentially over, and because they give me a new appreciation of 140 character tweets.
