The Cheat Sheet ^ | April 23, 2018 | by Lizz Schumer

Now solidly into the second year of Donald Trump’s presidency, we can look back at Barack Obama’s legacy with some context. Many aspects of Obama’s eight years in office will go down in history as a success, but not all of them. Let’s take a look at the worst mistakes he made and one force that may have rested even outside his control.

1. Confidence in the economy recovered post-Obama.

2. Obama oversaw a period of struggling labor.

3. The stock market struggled during Obama’s tenure.

4. The 44th president heightened tensions in the Middle East.

5. Obama let the intelligence community run rampant.

6. 44 bungled the Arab Spring uprising.

7. He also failed to establish Asian alliances.

8. Obama believed the world operated the way he does.

9. America’s racist underbelly began to show under Obama.

10. Disrespect for Obama’s presidency may have led to Trump.

Let me fix #10:

"10. Disrespect for Obama’s presidency may have led to Trump."

Should be:

10. Obama's disrespect for the presidency may have led to Trump.

ALSO, Obama couldn't annihilate ISIS in 3 YEARS? Trump nearly accomplished that in ONE YEAR!!!! BTW, Obama/Hillary/McCain CREATED ISIS, so..

The lamestream media CONCEALED most of Obama's FAILURES and CRIMES. AND THEY STILL ARE.

ALL OBAMA EVER DID WAS TO DAMAGE THINGS and Trump is TRYING to fix it.

I thought there are probably hundreds of reasons why we don’t miss that scoundrel.

Suspicions about Valerie Jarrett's role in Obama’s inner circle abound. The former Chicago lawyer and businesswoman has been a top adviser to the president since his election in 2008.

Jarrett's official WH title is "Senior Deputy Advisor" (in Chicagoan gangland parlance that means "wire transfer artist") Michele Obama--then Obama's fiance---was hired by Jarrett then an official in the corrupt Daley Admin. She was cashing Chicago pension checks in her $150,000 WH job.

===============================================

Laura Ingraham insightfully said that “all roads lead to Valerie Jarrett," noting Jarrett's involvement in secret dealings w/Iran (where Jarrett was born and raised). She has her tentacles into every issue and every topic..... at least part of her role is to serve as “chief liaison to the business community, state and local governments, and the professional left,” but her influence is undeniable.

Jarrett commanded a staff of nearly three dozen, and has a hand in decisions ranging from invitation lists to state dinners and gifts to foreign leaders, to USSC nominees, ambassador appointees, President Medal of Freedom awardees.

When Warren Buffett visited the White House for lunch, the table was set for three.

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates near zero for all of Obama’s 8 years . So the Fed created a fake economy for all these years for Obama and to help democrats.

Now the Fed is trying to pop their own bubble economy and stock market.They raised rates 6 times already since Trump became president.

Democrats/marxists have taken over every institution in the USA, the media, academia, federal bureaucracy , courts,internet(facebook, google, amazon etc) etc and also the Fed.

If you look at graphs 2 years before the Obama election you will see the fed raising rates to close to 6% which crashed the economy and gave us Obama in the first place.

ditto for the “great depression” which they blamed on protectionism . Now they are doing the same thing lying blaming the stock market downturn on Trump's tariffs. No it's the Fed. There is no industry in the USA .Everything is made in China. The Fed created a fake economy keeping rates the lowest ever near zero for 8 years to help Obaama.

Remember "Cash for Clunkers" and the downturn in the used car market?

Remember the $8,000 he gave to home buyers and the assault that took place in the market for months as a result of that program?

How did we survive the eight years of that @$$hole?
