“Obama is unlikely to be seen as a bad president overall, maybe not the black president many hoped for but definitely not a bad leader of the country as a whole.”

This is probably true in the hyper-racialized climate that he and his ilk have forced on us. But whether he really was “not a bad leader” is very debatable. What’s the standard?
Domestically, the economy is in the doldrums and millions of Americans are still out of work. Illegals and refugees have flooded in and are straining social services and law enforcement. Racial tension is at an all time high and the Democratic Party has gone full-on hate for Christians, Pro-Lifers, and Law Enforcement Officers.
We’ve had more Islamic terror attacks on our own soil than ever before. And while the total body count is lower than 9/11, it should be remembered that the 9/11 attack was planned during the previous Democrat president’s tenure and that it was only Bush’s strong response that prevented the planned second attack.
Abroad, Obama has involved us in more wars than any president before him. Our allies can’t stand him and our enemies laugh at him. He pulled our troops out of Iraq prematurely, allowing ISIS to swarm in, so now our troops are back there. They’re also STILL in Afghanistan. He has armed Muslim extremists and encouraged their predations. Then, while saying he “had Israel’s back”, he has actually stabbed Israel in said back.
The only good thing I can think of to say about his 8 years in office is that he isn’t as bad as I feared he would be back in 2008.
A FB friend said she didn’t think he was a bad man, just that he had a “different mind set from most Americans.” She pointed out that most people who meet him say he’s a really nice guy. I declined to engage on that topic, finding her remark to be so painfully naive and woefully uninformed that the only positive response I could make was to pray for her.
Bill Clinton is also reportedly very charming in person, yet he ruined numerous women’s lives, most famously Monica Lewinsky. I fully expect the Anti-Christ will be enormously charismatic, but it won’t mean he’s not a seriously bad man.
Barack Obama has lied to us over and over and over. His profligate spending has doubled the national debt and his health care plan has trashed our health insurance system and driven health professionals out of the business.
Those things alone would make him a crappy president in my view. Add in Benghazi, his use of federal agencies to seek out and destroy his political enemies, and his ridiculously expensive lifestyle while in office and I just can’t find a single good thing to say about him.
No wait. I can. He has a beautiful smile and looks really good in a suit. He also fostered the birth of the Tea Party and helped destroy the Democratic Party. Beyond that … I got nothing.
Another parting gift from the worst president in American history.
Multiple federal laws and regulations require that officials preserve all documents — including email and text messages — created in the course of conducting official business of the U.S. government.
The White House looked to Austin Mayor Steve Adler, going around the governor to confer with a city leader who espoused the controversial Syrian resettlements, the records show. Shortly after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state wouldn’t accept any more Syrian refugees, the administration responded by colluding with Adler, according to records of a conference call between the mayor’s office and the White House. The administration also furnished Adler with “talking points” involving the refugee resettlement and the parties discussed Abbott’s lawsuit. It seems bizarre that the feds would discuss legal action with a town mayor operating in the state suing them.
Overall speaking, the tax burden for manufacturers in China is 35% higher than in the U.S., Cao Dewang told China Business Networkin an interview. He added that a combination of cheap land, reasonable energy prices and other incentives means that, despite higher manufacturing costs, he can still make more money by making glass in the U.S. than by exporting Chinese-made panes to the U.S. market.

The gala recognizing Reid’s 30 years of service will take place at the end of the legislative session next week at the Kennedy Caucus Room in the Russell Senate Office Building, the Washington Post reported.
On January 3, 2017, Democrats will hold the majority in the Senate for a few minutes, until the newly-elected Senators are sworn in. Biden could convene the Senate in those few minutes and call for a vote. The majority could then suspend the rules and vote in Merrick Garland. The key here is that VP Biden would have to be willing to convene the Senate and recognize Senator Dick Durbin instead of Mitch McConnell. Durbin moves to re-nominate Garland, and Senate Democrats then vote to confirm him. They will have a quorum for those few minutes. It’s bold. Garland would be confirmed by 34 Democrats and no Republicans.
The pardon would avert Bergdahl’s court-martial trial, which is slated to begin April 18.
Junior would lose his chance at getting elected again, so he wants a pardon.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbot says the state will cut off funding to any public school that declares itself a “sanctuary campus” for illegal immigrants.
OBAMA AND REID ARE GOING TO SCREW TRUMP ANY WAY THEY CAN
“She’s awesome,” said one activist of Schlapp, one of the Hill’s “50 Most Beautiful People” and the influential wife of Matt Schlapp, who heads the American Conservative Union which hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. The two have a political business together.
It is perhaps unprecedented for a U.S. president or president-elect to speak directly with a leader of Taiwan, a self-governing island the U.S. broke diplomatic ties with in 1979.
THIS IS FROM AN EBAY AD. I KNEW THESE WOULD BE COLLECTORS’ ITEMS
TRUMP NEEDS TO LEARN TO IGNORE FOUL-MOUTHED HACKS WHO ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR ATTENTION
WHAT A BACKSTABBING LITTLE PRICK
And so a new media narrative has just been launched: If Donald Trump succeeds, it will be because President Barack Obama gave him such a great push. How else to explain the near simultaneous publication of two articles on Friday, one in Politico, the other at FiveThirtyEight.
On the campaign trail, Trump slammed Nabisco for moving jobs to Mexico, vowing to never eat another Oreo even though he loves them.
A 2015 study found the coal industry lost 50,000 jobs from 2008 to 2012 during Obama’s first term. During Obama’s second term, the industry employment in coal mining has fallen by another 33,300 jobs, 10,900 of which occurred in the last year alone, according to federal data. As a result, many ex-coal miners are unemployed and Appalachian “coal country” has faced very real economic devastation as a result.
In his boldest challenge yet to incoming President-elect Trump, outgoing President Obama is demanding that Congress more than double its spending on illegal immigrants to nearly $4 billion, a bigger increase than he sought for the care of war veterans, Secrets has learned.
This is the department perhaps most in need of help and a competent hand. It should be someone whose experience really can change things.

In a highly unusual move, President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night left his Manhattan residence without notifying the reporters covering him or giving any indication of where he was going.
“According to the Washington Post, he has the power to do this since Congress has refused to vote, and apparently that can be considered a waiver of its rights to advise and consent,” she said.
A lot of the newer democrat reps think after 14 years as leader, it’s time to put this swaybacked nag out to pasture.
Like a baby sea otter on MDMA, basically: frolicking and swooping and frisking and diving in the lovely warm, salty water made up entirely of the tears of Hillary voters, greens, and the bien-pensant wankerati.

“We have to get to the truth. It was was never about a political targeting of Hillary Clinton. She created one of the biggest security breaches in the history of the State Department. We still have tens-of-thousands of documents we still haven’t seen, there’s more than Hillary Clinton involved in this, you have dozens of people within the bowels of the organization,” Chaffetz said.
In reality, the president does not possess this authority, as unauthorized presence in the U.S. is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Presidential pardon power only applies to federal crimes, described as “offenses against the United States” in the Constitution. As such, “a pardon can’t make someone a citizen or lawful resident,” explains John Harrison, a law professor at the University of Virginia. “Deportation is not a criminal proceeding, it’s a civil process that removes from the country someone who is not entitled to be here.”
When I asked Pace, who retired from a job in dress manufacturing several years ago, if he thought Mr. Trump would ever win him over, he responded: “He said he’d protect Medicare. I can go along with that. He said he’d get rid of the Bloods and the Crips and the gangs—get them out of here. I like that. If he does those two things, he’s my man.”
TRUMP KNOWS ENERGY IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY. HOPEFULLY, HE ALLOWS PRODUCTION TO START
Democrats have repeatedly proven that bipartisanship to them means that Republicans roll over for whatever Democrats want. If not, Republicans are tarred as obstructionists, racists, or whatever other epithet du jour. That’s because progressives are cultists hungry for more power so they can impose their ideological vision by any means necessary. Like Goldfinger, they don’t want Republicans to talk, they want them to die.
“This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving,” he added.
Before he leaves office, President Obama is decorating a starry list of entertainers, newsmakers and civilians with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe,” Cummings wrote. “Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people.”
THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS….BUT PETE WILL

Obama replaced the Churchill bust with a photo of himself walking on water.
Mr Farage said: “We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively.”
Over the last eight years of the Obama administration, the EPA “used the legal rubrics of the Clean Air Act really to pursue a low-carbon energy policy and really not to further environmental protection,” she said.
IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ASSUME PUTIN REALIZES HE CAN’T PLAY TRUMP LIKE THE FOOL CURRENTLY RESIDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
“Here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to put– I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life. They’ll very much—” Trump said.

HER LEFTIST BUDDIES ARE NOT HAPPY
The Republican congressional leadership is seriously considering an unprecedented procedure to guarantee that its and President-elect Donald Trump’s highest priorities are quickly enacted soon after Congress convenes next year.
WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST HE HAS A PLAN.

IF I WERE TRUMP I WOULDN’T DO ANY TAPED INTERVIEWS, GIVEN THE MEDIA’S PENCHANT FOR “SELECTIVE EDITING”
Gwen Ifill, the longtime news anchor who had served as a co-host of PBS’s NewsHour and as moderator of “Washington Week,” has died after a battle with cancer, PBS has confirmed. She was 61.
Hmmm. You mean they’re all terrified they might now lose their jobs, and you suddenly realised you’d also lose your $40 million contract with Netflix and your gated mansion in Bel Air, and have to eat paella for the rest of your life.
In February of 2016, The New York Times reported that everyone in Clinton land thought they were going to slaughter Donald Trump. It was hubris. It was typical elitism from the liberal elite. And in the end, the Trump campaign smashed the face of the Clinton operation with a brick, doused it in gasoline, and set it on fire. It was an upset that no one, except for white working class America and die-hard Trump supporters, saw coming, which explains the epic temper tantrums emanating from the Left.
OBAMA AND CLINTON WOULDN’T TURN DOWN A PLUGGED NICKEL. IT’S NOT LIKE THEY EVER HAD A REAL JOB OR ANYTHING.
A record number of anguished calls flooded suicide prevention hotlines just before and after Donald Trump secured his shocking presidential victory.
As the Democratic Party enters a long, lonely road out of power, it should be a lesson and a warning to Republicans. Never build a party apparatus and voter coalition so firmly behind a single, term-limited president. It’s dubious as to whether a successor can keep that winning coalition in place. For Clinton, she failed. In the end, Trump was expected to torpedo GOP gains; that didn’t happen. And Barack Obama will have to watch hopelessly as congressional Republicans–now working with a Trump White House–will undo most of his signature domestic achievements.
THEY JUST DON’T GET IT.
Given the dearth of hands-on Washington experience in the inner circle of President-elect Donald J. Trump, Mr. Pence, a former Republican congressman, is emerging as a commanding figure in the administration taking shape as well as the chief conduit between Capitol Hill and the White House.
DON’T COUNT ON IT
Her life-long dream of total and complete power was shattered for the second and final time. I can’t find one molecule of sympathy for her. Off to the dustbin.
“No Washington insider, regardless of who it is, should serve as President Trump’s chief of staff,” Martin said. “Appointing Reince Priebus (or any other DC establishment insider) would make it more difficult, not less, for President Trump to achieve the change the people voted for. It’s time to drain the swamp — not promote insiders beholden to the Washington establishment who helped create it.”
WHY WOULD THE PRESIDENT GIVE A FOUL-MOUTHED, TWO-BIT PUNK LIKE YOU THE TIME OF DAY?

THAT WON’T STOP THEM FROM VOTING FOR HER…OR HAVING SOMEONE CAST A FRAUDULENT VOTE IN THEIR NAME.
Bowles’s efforts to undo Social Security through “partial privatization” began during the Clinton regime. The left-liberal economist Robert Kuttner, in his 2007 book The Squandering of America, detailed how Washington elites of both Parties had been planning to weaken Social Security since the Clinton Administration.
THE DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE…THEY’RE NOT PAYING FOR IT.
Three well-respected people within the same household in my town who mailed in their ballots in favor of Trump went online to make sure their votes were counted – only to find they were not going to be counted because the signatures on the ballot didn’t match those on their letter. They would have never seen this if they hadn’t gone online to verify!”

Doug Band, the former top aid to Bill Clinton who helped found the Clinton Global Initiative, accused Chelsea Clinton of illegal activities by using foundation money to pay for her wedding and getting paid to campaign, all while avoiding paying taxes.
