Was Barack Obama Bad for Democrats?
New York Times ^ | 12/23/16 | STANLEY B. GREENBERG, ANNA GREENBERG

**SNIP**

Why such political carnage?

Faced with the economy’s potential collapse as he took office, Mr. Obama devoted his presidency to the economic recovery, starting with restoring the financial sector. But he never made wage stagnation and growing inequality central to his economic mission, even though most Americans struggled financially for the whole of his term.

At the same time, Mr. Obama declined to really spend time and capital explaining his initiatives in an effective way. He believed that positive changes on the ground, especially from economic policies and the Affordable Care Act, would succeed, vindicating his judgment and marginalizing his opponents.

The good news - Hussein plans to remain in a rapidly dimming spotlight. That should be fun.

It’s not just that the words of this article are lies. Even the commas and periods are lies.

Lol. He is still whatever these “educated” “journalists” want him to be.

He is the empty suit that they can fill with their imagination.

He said a lot but did nothing....

The Obamas are only interested in accumulating tons of money---and creating ways to loot and pillage the US Treasury. These two Chicago kingpins got plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Obama gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on her recent visit to Morocco, to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be held by, and doled out by, the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

A new era in looting and pillaging the US Treasury has been set.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE Michele, her daughters and her mother in
Morocco's palace. 100 million dollars to spend when she and Mr O
get back to Chicago

EXHIBIT TWO---How did Malia, the oldest Obama daughter, come to be worth 300 million dollars? She's only 17 and worth a fortune.

No, no, he's been great. Wonderful. Make him the head and very public face of the Democrat party just like he wants to be.

Give him his own weekly one hour TeeVee show, in fact. He can open every show with a reading from the Co Ran, yea, that's the ticket, Barry on TeeVee in his traditional Muzzie garb to show everyone how much more open the democrat party is than the Trump party.

Was Barack Obama Bad for Democrats?

Bad for the Democrats, bad for the nation, bad for the world. Many thousands of people have died because that unaccomplished mouthy asswipe was President. It may come to pass that millions of people will die because that ignorant jackass was President.

Barackistan Obamanation was bad for all of America and her allies. For eight yearas he abjectly violated his oath to the constitution, to protect and defend if and bear true faith and allegiance to it.
