Doubly shocking the Times would print this.

Sorry, I can't read past this.

He rescued an economy in crisis and passed the recovery program, pulled America back from its military overreach, passed the Affordable Care Act and committed the nation to addressing climate change.

I have problems with the rest but most notably the highlighted part. The NYTimes still can not bring itself to be honest about him.

As I've noted many times, we have a President Trump because the NYTimes and so many others refused to be honest about Obama's failures and to hold him accountable for those failures.

The NY Times is owned by a Mexican Billionaire. I wouldn't trust a word they print.

Even the first line is a bald-faced lie. He's not thoughtful or dignified (just look at how he and Michelle are undermining Trump) and his administration is anything but honest.

President Obama will be remembered as a thoughtful and dignified president who led a scrupulously honest administration that achieved major changes.

That is why Obama wasn't anywhere near as successful as he could have been.

The left refused to be honest about him.


Case in point...Obama campaigned saying that he would allow 5 days of public debate before signing bills into law -- for public transparency and to develop better policy.

His very first bill - he signed instantly - and it was a non-emergency bill. The left gave him a free pass. The people who started cheering, chanting, and fainting when Obama proposed a 5 day waiting period refused to criticize him when he instantly broke it.

Obama then continued to disregard that easy to fulfill promise as he knew the left would give him zero reasons to fulfill the promise.

Meanwhile if someone brought up that Obama was breaking an easy to fulfill promise - the left would accuse that person of anything from racism to watching to much FoxNews.

Yep. A scrupulously honest administration that had a dozen sets of circumstances happen where everyone under investigation at the IRS for targeting accidentally had their hard drives damaged.

You can't help it. Drudge links to it. Unless you look at the URL when the cursor hovers over the link, you don't know where you're going. I hate it when they link to a site you can't read unless you subscribe like the Wall Street Journal. The Los Angeles Times keeps asking me to subscribe because I've reached my limit. Why would I want to subscribe to them? I can't help it if Drudge keeps taking me there.

From the article:

Are they kidding? Per the bolded --- What a crock! His DOJ was corrupt to the core.

"Major changes"? Yeah, sure there were "major changes" and all of them were abysmal.
