The Left May Come to Loathe Obama
Commentary ^ | 4 Dec, 2016 | NOAH ROTHMAN

Posted on 01/04/2016 7:11:30 PM PST by MtnClimber

As we glide with trepidation into another presidential election year, the American mood might be best characterized as apprehensive. The right, which has for nearly seven years eagerly anticipated the last moments of Barack Obama's presidency, is suddenly no longer certain that the next president could, at least, be no worse. Liberals, too, have their misgivings about the end of the Obama era; about Hillary Clinton, about the current president's legacy, and about the stability of the electoral coalition Democrats cobbled together in the last two presidential elections........The indications are already clear, however, that Democrats will come to see Barack Obama's presidency as a misguided failure - particularly if a Republican takes the White House in November.

Obama will be seen as a traitorous president who tried to harm this country.

Common sense says yes but any Democrat today is a nut

If that happens, it will only be after something catastrophic happens, of historic dimension.

Oh, I doubt it.

Maybe not the most appropriate place to post this, but I am wondering, is it not possible for the next president to sign and executive order (on the first day, if possible), cancelling all of Obama's executive orders immediately? Similarly, could he not also waive Obamacare laws for all 320 million Americans? I don't know if that would happen, but what would stop it?

...Obama will be seen as a traitorous president who tried to harm this country. ...

He actually did harm his country. From deceit, to division, to ineptitude, to actual possibly irreparable harm, guilty as charged.

Doubtful that brain-dead Democrat drones would show disdain for Dear Leader.

I have not seen an Obama sticker in the triangle of Durham for some time.

That is something.

For the elitists, this may be true. But for the Useful Idiot, LIV, Obama will be looked upon favorably.

The left that think Castro, Chavez, Mao and every tin hatted Marxist dictator in the last century are wonderful revolutionary leaders will place Obama in their hero worship too...

Plus the media will prop up Obama for years..

Democrats never see wrong in their “leaders”. Hypocrisy is unknown in the party of the donkey. Even the Borg of Star Trek The Next Generation don’t practice “group think” that the Democrats do. Politics is a religion to these people. Any president is a deity. They think more of Obama than they do of Jesus and they always will.

You are insulting NUTS, Java. Nuts are harmless, but Dems are very dangerous.

The Left may come to loathe Obama...

Well then, we'll finally have something in common with the miserable bastards.

And you all say Obama is so divisive :-)

So far in the Democratic areas of Tampa, I only saw 1 Bernie bumper sticker, which is 1 more than Hillary. I do see a few Trump stickers...

I would prefer to see him reverse the waivers given by Obama quickly followed by giving waivers for the rest of the country.

Goose, gander.....

Actually, my real dream would be a president that follows the constitution. A guy can dream.
