Most of the posters appear to be conservative/right individuals so a bias about Obama's legacy creeps into one's opinion based upon a constant repetition of the same message, "Obama has failed as our president."

But there is a method to his madness.

I watched a YOUTUBE video of a young kitchen table activist from my old home town which town was the subject of a Nixon era MODEL CITIES program which leveled almost every building. Despite living in a brownfield of broken bricks and dreams, this young activist found hope in Obama and supported him in his rise to power because she saw "that Obama was a part of all of us."

Obama consciously re-made himself into an image acceptable to blacks, whites, the young, Bush haters, and everyone else comprising at least 51% of voting America.

Now a placeholder, never to be re-elected, his actions appear to be out of step with the American Way, big time.

Will voting America elect another president of color? Heavens no. Has Obama queered it for minorities in the US? Absolutely.

So his legacy will be that he both opened and closed the door on millions of Americans' political aspirations.

Obama: A liar so dishonest that he makes Nixon look like a choir boy.

Actually you have it backwards. Obama's initiatives are screwing the poor, or at least the working poor and the rich just keep getting richer, or at least HIS rich buddies do.

And now his amnesty for illegals will screw the working poor even more. Everything Obama does hurts the working class.

That would seem to be where this lying POS is going, having already violated his "no boots on the ground" promise with more troops readying to be sent back. Point of fact, he encouraged another war with his stupid ideals of how to deal with ISIS.

Yep, and the idiots voted for him again in 2012. Hard to feel sorry for people who vote for their own hardships.

You've been "informed." It's up to you to comprehend.


Yep, Bush had congress for six years and this "depression" you wail about actually started when the dems took over congress. Convenient fact that you continually omit in your hate of Bush.

And, lacking another choice, so did blacks. Another fallacy you try to claim as a salient fact.
