Obama's Legacy!


I recently mentioned in a piece I wrote that Obama is concerned about establishing a legacy in his last year of his imperial rein. I read an article recently that made me realized that Obama could stop worrying about his legacy because he has already established several.
Every president has a legacy that he is remembered by - George Washington was the first president; Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves; Ronald Reagan revived the economy; Bill Clinton balanced the budget; Carter coward to Iran; First Bush attack Iraq and second Bush will be remembered by 9/11.

How will Obama be remembered? He was our first black president? Let take a minute to review his accomplishments: He killed Bin Laden; He screwed up our health care; He increased federal spending by one-fifth and the national debt by two-thirds; He expanded presidential power via executive action, often without legal authority; He was responsible for the Democrats losing 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, both houses of Congress, 12 governorships, 30 state legislative chambers, and more than 900 state legislative seats; He was the worst President since Carter;  His Iran deal will give Israel a decade to figure out how to defend itself against a nuclear-armed theocracy bent on its destruction; He mismanaged the withdrawal of troops in Iraq so badly that it allowed the “J.V.” ISIS terrorist group to organize and grow stronger than anyone could imagine; He received an undeserved 2009 Nobel Peace Prize; He oversaw a Job growth so weak that the definition of what constitutes a “recovery” had to be redefined downward; He increased the National Debt more than all Presidents before him put together; He oversaw increasing the food stamps program from 26 million to 46 million recipients, etc. He could promote his ability to fail and not learn from it!

He can pick and choose or lay claim to all the above for his legacy, but he no longer has to worry about leaving behind a legacy – he already has.
I hope his primary legacy will be that Americans woke up and realized we cannot afford to have another President like Obama ever again and will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We do not need a Third Obama Term.
