The Obama Legacy Deserves To Be Destroyed
The Federalist ^ | MAY 10, 2018 | By David Harsany

Posted on 05/26/2020 10:46:32 AM PDT by US Navy Vet

t’s strange that a president who had such a transformative effect on our national discourse will leave such a negligible policy legacy. But Barack Obama, whose imperial term changed the way Americans interact and in some ways paved the way for the Trump presidency, is now watching his much-celebrated and mythologized two-term legacy be systematically demolished. This, in many ways, tells us that American governance still works.

When Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Iran deal, he could do so without much difficulty because the agreement hinged on presidential fiat rather than national consensus. But Obama’s appeasement of Iran was only one in a string of unilateral norm-busting projects that deserve to be dismantled.

I’ve heard chatter, that Obama was devastated at Trump winning the election. And that he may get involved in a big way in Biden’s campaign, as he sees the Trump presidency overshadowing his presidency, what he sees as achievements of the Obama administration.

If so, the good news is, that when Obama has campaigned and endorsed candidates for office, those candidates have tended to lose their elections. If Obama sticks his nose into this campaign, he may well help Trump. Though Obama and his minions are too invested in the Obama legacy to perceive that.

Yep, but just remember: If the Dems win the WH, Congress, or both, they will do the same thing to everything Trump has done. EPA will be back, Planned Parenthood and NPR will get big raises, 2A will be trashed, and his replacement will be on an apology tour that will involve grovelling on the floor and kissing feet, not just bowing.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

We can be contacted at judgment.fund@fiscal.treasury.gov or 202-874-6664.

Obama and his monkeys need to pay for their massive corruption and malfeasance. Start by trying to find all the billions that went missing under their watch. Leave no stone unturned and follow the missing money. They robbed the treasury and that's punishable under law, right? If they won't bring them to justice for that, then they won't bring them to justice for anything.

Comments BUMP! Along with willing UNIPARTARIANS. SUPERCRIMINALS do not stop until incarcerated or eliminated. Witness history. Witness current events. American 2020. One day beyond Memorial Day. R.I.P. Thanks to all who have served, all who are serving, and all who will serve in the future. There is foreign EVIL. There is domestic EVIL.

What really ticked me off was how many HERE defended the Fraud’s payment of American tribute to his handlers in Iran.

Obama only has a legacy of being a halfrican. He didn’t accomplish anything except maybe getting Michelle to move a bit.

In eight years he still can’t swing a golf club. I only took 10 years and could probably beat him.

You can’t talk about the fake black man like that! Just to be clear, my mother and father was black.

President Trump is the “O” legacy.

He took corruption as far a possible in full public view...otherwise, “O” has no legacy

I never knew Obunghole really had that much passion to worry about President Trump and have a vested interest in Clinton. He always seemed to me intellectually lazy and inept and always had to have the Iranian monkey lizard Jarret to pull his strings. Maybe she still is. They practically live together.
