Obama An Embarrassing Experiment

[LogikAndReazon]

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?


Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as legislator.


And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?

The economy is much better than it was when Obama took office, much better. And how many of our soldiers are coming home in body bags these days compared to 2008? Yea, Obama has been just horrible for America. You clowns are living in some fantasy world that just doesn't exist. Maybe we will all get lucky and the bunch of you will fall off the edge of the earth.

Wow...
So the President who saw:
Deficit halved
Unemployment halved
Started no major land war
Got Gay Marriage
Obamacare
Iran Deal
No major terrorist attack on US soil
the list of achievements is pretty astounding

Loks like a serious case of ODS

Baseline numbers from the "bottom depths" of the housing collapse skews GWB and BHO actual results.

And how many of our soldiers are coming home in body bags

I will give some credit to that one. BHO has kept out of ME as much as possible. Can't say I disagree.

History will remember Obama fondly barring some catastrophe over the next year. Meanwhile, Dubya remains in exile for his disastrous tenure 7 years later.
