America Will Miss Obama When He's Gone (LOL alert)
The Atlantic ^ | January 15, 2015 | Dominic Tierney

Posted on 01/16/2015 4:04:48 AM PST by Zakeet

It’s 2018, and Barack Obama leans toward the computer in his Chicago townhouse and punches in the title of his memoir. He enjoys the silence and the solitude. It’s been over a decade since he had time to write. This is Obama’s third memoir and probably not the last. Aged only 57, his story is still in mid-stream. What next? Go back to teaching law? Charitable work? Whichever avenue he pursues, Obama can take encouragement from sky-high approval ratings. As soon as he departed the White House, Obama’s polling numbers started to pick up. Now, he’s one of the most admired men in America. People even see a touch of King or Mandela.

This optimistic vision may seem outlandish today, as Obama’s approval rating is stuck in the mid-40s, the Tea Party depicts him as an un-American socialist, and progressives tire of endless fighting in the Middle East. Many people have mentally checked out from his presidency. But the way that Americans think about Obama today is not the way they will see him in three or five years’ time.

My opinion is that he’ll be golfing 365 days a year, and no one will notice him.

The devotion his dwindling supply of hopeychangers have is at a level I've never seen.

The president is going to give a overly rosy critique in his SOTU speech on the economy. Somehow I have the foreboding sense that eventually will become a cruel joke based in early indicators

What a completely fluff bogus story.

Look the GOP is out to lunch about American jobs, but so are the Democrats. Everyone is buying ever more crap off the boat, from China.

That will eventually catch up with America. Big-time.

When it does, we will either bring back production right here to America.

Or America will fold.

Obama has done nothing to turn around that situation. His only salvation is, the GOP is equally, every bit as much, completely sold out to China as the Dems are.

Someone needs to advocate the return of America jobs. Right here.

Nobody is doing a thing about this yet. When it eventually happens however, look out.

Look for Obama to be the final “sell out America’s future to the Peoples Republic of China” president.

History will (not) be kind to him.

He and the fam will take numerous trips abroad-—to visit his billions in holdings-—stashed in secret accounts.

His presidency makes a potentially great story: the first African-American in the White House, who helped the country recover from recession and ended two wars....

Historians may place him toward the top of the all-star rankings.

If they do it certainly will not be for helping the country recover from recession and ending two wars so that leaves only first African-American in the White House.

I bet they won’t take many vacations as a family. They already take separate vacations, and they’re still in office and supposedly need to attempt to resemble a normal all-American family.
