Well, his stated goal as two-term president was to fundamentally transform (destroy) the United States of America. Was the destruction he caused permanent or temporary? His “legacy” depends on the answer to this question.

>> ...Obama’s studied sense of fiscal responsibility...<<

This is an example of modern “journalism”.

BTW ... notice they’re no longer even trying to hide that Obamaharm isn’t about providing insurance but about wealth redistribution?

Recall that it was similar “journalism” the Left used to convince many people the Democrats could be less spendthrift under W ... and then the Democrats showed us what REAL spendthrift was like!

Seditionist & Traitor nobama's "legacy" will always remain. His legacy is one of dishonesty, anti-Americanism, racism, anti-science, no-accountability, perversion, lawlessness, feral behavior, larceny, thuggery, bombing more nations than any president since WWII, murdering American Citizens without trial, excessive spending, allowed invasion of the USA and so forth. What a putz.

Hussein’s legacy won’t be destroyed, only diminished. Many entitled Americans miss him and his hopey changey feely stuff. And a great many Afro-Americans are still hoping for reparation$.

The scars Hussein left on America will fade but remain. The cancer he fed in our federal departments remains festering. One hopes he will be criminally charged and prosecuted one day.

Don’t be misled folks, this is not a pro Trump / the Right commentary.

It trashes Trump for abandoning all things Leftist.

The writer is an intellectual seventh grade level giant in his own mind, exclusively. Third grade is more accurate.

That, plus cop killing, open borders, an FBI and CIA used for partisan political purposes, an entitled ruling class and a swamp which has barely been drained yet, just to name a few more fruits of BO’s legacy.

They were gaslighted. They believed Candidate Trump and by extension all us Deplorables were evil. It is sad. they talk about Russia, however, Hillary's campaign was a Soviet Style campaign to keep the Revolutionaries from defecting, they were all "Comrades" and didn't know it. Worse, on all social media we got browbeaten even after they lost, they didn't stop, this is truly the behavior of a statist. They will loose as a party and their party will be lost, they haven't gone through the 5 stages of grief, they are still at Anger and Denial.

They look a bit young, so if my speculation is correct, they will get jobs in this booming Trump Economy, and not even know how he helped them. In the fog of the unknown they are...

Erasing the stain of Hussein was why we elected President Trump. See everything Obama did? Do the exact opposite.

And he has! MAGA!

He and his ilk just transferred their propaganda to Netflix.
