WASHINGTON — The Obama legacy wasn't supposed to unfold this way.
Barack Obama was changing the political map, pushing the Democratic Party into the South and the Mountain West. He was building a new social network that would endure long after an Obama presidency. And he was building a new Democratic coalition for a new age, with greater turnout from young and minority voters.
Today, those ambitions are in tatters.
Obama's once-vaunted team wound up doing little more than electing him twice. Without Obama on the ticket, Republicans not only soared in 2010 congressional elections, but scored victories broad and deep again in 2014.

“You can only bomb up to 7 countries as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Any more than that and you have to turn it back in.”
Rules don’t apply to The One.
James who?
The dems will always make excuses for him, but once O’care starts getting dismantled, there will be no accomplishment whatsoever save for soaking the country in hydrochloric acid for 8 years.
Dems want to forget him. They will honor the shell - the first black pres, the great hope etc, but for the most part, they don’t want to talk about him. No one does. No one wants to be associated with him. Some will because it’s practical while he’s still in.
It may not register in the external presidential rankings because Americans can not be honest about a black man, but he will be remembered among the worst. He inspired Liberals less than did Reagan.
He’ll be remembered as a liar and a con man ... it’s just that Dems won’t speak about it or report it in polls.
#1 They're on the Obozo payroll, or they're getting a healthy "handout" in the form of a Government loan, subsidy, etc.
#2 They have their head so far up their a$$ that all common sense died due to lack of sunlight.
He's doing very well in creating a radical transformation of the USA. Between Obamacare taking over health care, and Common Core taking over education, the government will control the future. The Republicans are already talking like amnesty is a done deal, as they won't get serious in fighting it. Amnesty seals the deal on a Democratic majority for the next election and beyond. The next two years is just the ugly fight that the Alinskyites know is required to win. And the Republicans have already given up.
The GOPe just wants things to run smooth, and they really don't care in which direction things run. So they see any turmoil as a loss, while the Alinskyites see turmoil or crisis as a great opportunity, or even a required opportunity if you want great change.
That’s pretty much it....unless Cruz and his does his thing....which may be the Ace.
...ambitions are in tatters. Don’t think so because Obama isn’t finished yet. He knows he has the adoring media on his side and what few have spoken up against him have been threatened. I see republicans didn’t put the brakes on him for nearly 2 weeks when he threatened to do Amnesty by Executive Order. Any Emperor has the upper hand, isn’t that basically the way things are unless there is a person / group within the regime that can out the fraud / to destroy, make better changes.
Barry’s only experience prior to his do-nothing State Senate job and President job, was as an Acorn employee, hatching voter fraud schemes. The Democrats really lost the plot when they decided that a Marxist Acorner should head their party. Many Americans gave him the benefit of the doubt until there was no doubt that Barry has no business running any organization. He’s turned the Democrats into a crackpot fringe party.
It would be quite ironic if a drunk illegal alien driver of an 18 wheeler careened into the presidential limousine on I395 and sent it over the rails into the water. I’ve seen tremendous irony in my lifetime. You just can’t do all manner of evil against others and expect nothing to happen. In the end nobody will have to do anything. God is the great equalizer. He won’t let what’s been done to harm so many go unpunishe unless he allows it to for a reason. It may take awhile but it’s coming.
In 1992, we were told character was not relevant. After 2 terms of Clinton, we found out it was. In 2008, we were told experience was overrated. How about now?
I don't want whatever it is they're smoking.
After Obama bombed the 7th country (to date), "The Economist"
put him on their magazine cover dressed in Bush's flight suit.
"I can't be another Bush---I'm a Nobel Peace Laureate."
The future's not ours to see.
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA A sweet irony---the "party of the people" lacerated, and dumped, by "the people."
What the Republican takeover looks like as of midnight 11/5---Alaska is Repub, LA goes Repub Dec 6.

=============================================
WRAP-UP The treasure trove of The Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby in the Congress and down-ticket have yet to be fully- mined. But this we know:
<><> Astute Political analyst Chris Stirewalt nailed it on The Kelly File---Obama (and all the loser Dems) still can't fathom what happened---that their misspent lives as Democrats are going to change dramatically.
<><> When the next Senate convenes, 29 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare will be gone;
<><> the GOP's majority in the House will be so big and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Democrats won't be able to recapture it until at least 2022.
<><> Some say Republicans have a 100-year majority.
<><> Mega-star Sen-elect Joni Ernst ran a campaign ad, “Give Me a Shot:” she pledged when she gets ObamaCare in her sights, “she’s going to unload.”
<><> Democrats vaunted "War on Women" hit its most voluble target---Hillary Clinton. Only one of the eight Democrat women she campaigned for won.
<><> Also shell-shocked is Obama Senior Deputy Advisor--- Valerie Jarrett---who Heads the WH Commision on Women and Girls.
<><> One sap-happy NARAL campaign ad seemed to link Republican-driven "condom shortages" to global warming.
<><> Of the 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican.
No, in spite of all of this ol' snakehead's maxim 'its the economy stupid' still holds true.
The economy sucks and people sense it, in spite of the MSM's attempts to sell us their load of crap.
Of course the FAILURE of Obama's brand of marxism will be the last thing the MSM will attribute the Obama & the democrats sliding popularity.
The 2014 election was a major defeat of Democrats — a wave election that will have long-term consequences,” says a memo from Democratic strategists James Carville and Stan Greenberg, and Page Gardner, president of the Voter Participation Center, which advocates for single women voters.
What the heck??? Carville wrote a book about how Democrats will rule for the next 40 years. What happened?? Did the ragin Cajun dude change his mind after seeing the election results?????
His legacy is the most Republican’s in office since before the great depression.
And UKIP’s casting off their lizard people, as well.
Where are we going to put them all?
Why should anyone think that Obama is interested in a political legacy? He has been a president unlike anyone before him.
He came to perform a certain function — the destruction of the USA and he is close to achieving that goal because he has no opposition. He and his party call it hope and change.
Were the likes of Hitler, Stalin or Mao interested in a legacy? They were not interested in any form of honor but only in achievement, even if it was accomplished by bypassing a formerly established set of rules like a Constitution..
