After all that has happened over the past eight years it seemed odd to hear that Obama is concerned that Donald Trump would destroy the 'legacy' of our first African American(?) president. This, of course, left me wondering what that ''legacy" might consist of. His signature legislation, Obama Care, from the day it began and the billion dollar website that did not work, to the ongoing resentment of taxpayers who used to get refunds every year until Obama stole them as 'penalties' for not having insurance that was ridiculously expensive and had deductibles they can't afford (rendering the $7000 a year insurance we had to buy useless), to triple-digit premium increases with dwindling options all the time, is a complete and total failure. The only way it can be considered a success is that now that healthcare has been shifted to the government it can never be re-privatized. Socialized healthcare is here to stay, score one for the democrats. They fucked us all forever with this one.
So what exactly is 'the Obama legacy'? Before I go look it up, off the top of my head, these are the things I can recall as significant events of the past eight years:
Deal of the Century
The tax stimulus
Obama Care (Affordable Care Act)
Identity crisis - aka the birther movement
The Net Worth Sweep
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Or lie.
The murder of Muammar Gaddafi
Practice What You Teach
Fast & Furious.
The IRS Targeting Scandal.
Michelle Obama and the 'healthy' lunches kids won't eat.
Drone killing an American citizen without a trial.
The fake Bin Laden strike and mysterious burial at sea without collecting a DNA sample.
The withdrawal from Iraq and the rise of ISIS
Ban on 'radical Islamic terror.' (The words, not the reality).
The most corrupt Cabinet ever, from Eric Holder & Loretta Lynch to Susan Rice & Hillary Clinton, this crew makes the James Gang look like choir boys.
"A spontaneous reaction to a video."
Lot's of golfing and vacations.
The email scandal (HRC's problem, but he hired her).
The DNC hack.
Terrorists released from Gitmo, knowing full well they would be terrorizing again as soon as the plane landed. They were, of course, and still are.
Drew a 'line in the sand. And when it was crossed? Changed his mind.
He gave billions in cash to Iran.
Bowing to the Saudi king.....
Knew Russia was fucking with the election, decided to tell Putin to 'cut it out' was the best course of action. (It is highly unlikely this ever happened, at least to his face. Putin would have died laughing as he pushed 'the reset button.' Obama lacks the huevos to stand up to anyone, but the video where he describes it is hilarious).
Sold out American businesses by imposing regulations and restrictions to meet his environmental agenda. The thousands of jobs it cost were simply off-shored to countries where labor is cheaper, workers lack rights, and the factories contribute many times the greenhouse gases as ours would have. All his policies benefited either Islam or Asia at the expense of American business and people.
Forced Islam down our throats, even though it is no secret they plan to destroy our culture from the inside, just like Europe. Giving aide or comfort to the enemy during time of war is treason.
I could go on for days on all the b.s. that went down on the Liar in Chief's watch, but aside from #1 above, I don't see much to be proud of. Nonetheless, one thing history will forever say about the presidency of Barack Obama is that he broke tradition. And I do not mean because he is black. The tradition he broke was way more significant than such an inevitable event as a black president. Barrack Hussein Obama violated our most sacred political tradition, the one that set America above even the great Roman Empire. From the moment Hillary lost, the traitor in the White house embarked on a deliberate plan to undermine, complicate, and sabotage Trumps presidency.
The peaceful transition of power was the last thing Obama intended for the man hell-bent on fixing the wreck called Obama Care. Instead he spied, laid traps, and changed rules. His minions broke laws, faked reports, unmasked names, and leaked all they could. They called Trump illegitimate, claiming he won because the Russians hated Hillary. They instigated, promoted, and funded resistance marches, protests, and riots.
This is the extent of the legacy of Barrack Obama. Impostor. Liar. Coward. Traitor in Chief.
