More of the so-called "Obama Legacy" has been dismantled, in less than a year and a half of the Trump administration, than has happened in the history of U.S. Presidential successions. It was easy to do, since Obama did most of it through executive fiat and rickety court decisions, rather than the Constitutionally-mandated passage by Congress. Easy come, easy go.

And the reason the Obama Legacy was so rickety, was that once normal Americans got a look at what Obama intended (as opposed to what he promised), they turned around and elected a Congress whose new members ran mostly on their assurance they would vote AGAINST his programs such as Obamacare.

The Obamanites tried to pretend, of course, that Congress wasn't "doing its job" and so Obama had to act unilaterally. As usual, they were blatantly opposing the Constitution, which put Congress into place mainly to prevent any one man from exercising the unilateral power that Obama tried to usurp. And when the 2016 election came around, those same normal Americans, fed up with the Democrats' constant violations and lies, elected a President who ran on the idea that he would get rid of Obama's ill-gotten "legacy".

The rest is left as an exercise for the class. Despite huge opposition from the Big-govt Left, President Trump has kept more of those promises than any President ever has, dismantling Obama's pet projects, treating our international adversaries toughly instead of timidly, and putting what normal Americans want, first.

The Barack Obama Legacy Deserves To Be Destroyed

The Obama Legacy Deserves To Be Destroyed

Smash the rickety legacy of executive abuse!

by David Harsanyi
May 10, 2018

It’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.

ALL Presidential legacies should be destroyed. The whole idea of a President is sickening to begin with. 330 million people and some dude thinks he can rule over us.

And BS deserves to be called BS. Exactly what this all is. It's nothing but Trump's continuing butt hurt over Obama revealing Donny for the jackass he's always been at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Erasure of all things DJT is certainly a happy thought. Can hardly wait for that day. Great anticipation for that promising event.

Oh, it will happen. It will definitely happen and with the removal of every single thing Trump has done or touched, over half the country will cheer.

This country now functions on how much power we can leverage over the other half that disagree with us.

But Obama’s appeasement of Iran was only one in a string of unilateral norm-busting projects that deserve to be dismantled.

You’ll remember the panic-stricken coverage we endured when the United States withdrew from the faux international Paris climate agreement last year. It’s true that the deal was oversold as a matter of policy (by both parties for political reasons), but it was symbolic of how the Obama administration concerned itself more with international consensus than domestic compromise.

We know this because the president would never have won ratification for a deal remotely similar to the one he entered — nor did he attempt to. Obama, despite the hagiographic framing of his scandal-ridden presidency, had about as much interest in genuine concession as his political adversaries did.

Obama allies at home incessantly pointed to poll numbers as a justification for his executive abuse, mostly because the only polls that really mattered, congressional elections, continued to soundly reject his agenda. The defense rested on the idea that the Republican-led Congress had failed to “do its job” and act on issues Democrats had deemed vital. But Congress, of course, “acted” all the time by checking the president’s ambitions. This was not only well within its purview, but in many ways the reason the electorate handed the GOP Congress in the first place.

Someone said it earlier but it bears repeating.
Obama's Presidential Library is down to a Phone & Pen display, in an old Kodak Film developing kiosk

Win? You mean like the man in question who actually won the peoples' vote? TWICE!

Let Donny do that before prancing around alleging he's the peoples' choice.
