The Obama Legacy Deserves to Be Destroyed.
May 11, 2018 by
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 […]

Devastating Blow to Obama Legacy.

Obama’s Real Debt and Deficit Legacy.
February 20, 2018 by
Congressional Republicans have been raked over the coals in the last two weeks for slamming through budget caps and inflating government spending and debt by another $300 billion. The criticisms are well-deserved. It’s a historical truism that Republicans are much more fiscally conscientious when they are in the minority than when they run Congress. And […]
The Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
January 15, 2018 by
Martin Luther King on the Limits of Civil Disobedience More than most years, 2018 will be a year filled with remembrances of Martin Luther King Jr. because in it falls the 50th anniversary of King’s assassination.

And along the way, President Trump even […]
Here’s How Trump Has Silently Gutted Obama’s Legacy
October 14, 2017 by
President Donald Trump has surgically dismantled Obamacare over the course of his first year in office, largely under the noses of the American public, Democrats and members of his party that have spent the last nine months trying to upend the American health care system. Over the course of his first nine months in office, […]
Fact Checking Obama’s Phony Legacy.
April 19, 2017 by
The Washington Post’s fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, recently gave Susan Rice four Pinocchios for a false and misleading statement regarding Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile. But what is notable about this story is not that Rice lied. She has done that many times. Rather, the remarkable part of this story is that the Post took so long […]
The Rotten Obama Record — and Legacy.
April 10, 2017 by
There is an excellent cartoon showing a circle of people surrounding Barack Obama, guarding him, preventing anyone from bringing him harm. An observer asks if those people are the Secret Service. The answer: No, that’s the media. I don’t think there is a better portrayal of the Obama legacy. This cartoon succinctly communicates how this […]
BOOM: Another Obama legacy DESTROYED
March 29, 2017 by
“My administration is taking steps to put an end to the war on coal.” These were the words of President Donald Trump yesterday as he signed another executive order, this one dealing a death blow to the myriad of rules, powers, over-reaches and job-killing regulations of the Obama-era Environment Protection Agency. CNN began its coverage […]
Just in: Trump hammers ANOTHER nail into Obama’s legacy
February 17, 2017 by

Obama’s Mideast Legacy Is One of Tragic Failure
January 18, 2017 by
Obama’s one-sided Cairo speech, on June 4, 2009, took place before a large number of Islamic sheikhs and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

‘Legacy’: 10 Ways Barack Obama Broke the American System
December 22, 2016 by
Much ink has been spilled, and much bandwidth spent, on describing Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a populist revolt. Less attention has been paid to what voters were rebelling against. There were economic grievances — in the Upper Midwest in particular — but the economy as a whole is slowly recovering. (As Alexis de Tocqueville […]
Unbelievable: Obama now blames THIS for his failed legacy…
December 8, 2016 by
In the wake of the 2016 election, one thing has become perfectly clear about the Democratic Party; they have become an excuse factory. Instead of mastering the art of saving manufacturing jobs like President-elect Trump, they’ve mastered the art of manufacturing excuses. Democrats will blame everything except themselves for their failures. When Hillary Clinton lost […]
Obama Attempts to Distort His Legacy
November 25, 2016 by
The election of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on November 8 was not only a rejection of Hillary Clinton, based on her trustworthiness and her legal and ethical problems, it was also clearly a repudiation of Democratic policymaking, with Trump promising to eliminate or revise a number of Barack Obama’s signature achievements. But, speaking to […]
House Passes Sanctions On Iran, Syria In Overwhelming Rebuke Of Obama Foreign Policy Legacy
November 17, 2016 by
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives sent a defiant message to President Obama in a near-unanimous vote for sanctions on Iran and Syria: the Obama Doctrine of appeasement is dead. Congress, it seems, is interpreting Donald Trump’s unexpected victory as a referendum on the current president. On the heels of the GOP’s massive electoral triumph, the […]
Obama’s Legacy: The Total Destruction Of The Democratic Party
November 12, 2016 by
A day after the election, CNN’s Amanda Carpenter aptly noted that while the rest of the Democratic Party’s confidence that their Obama coalition could bring about consistent wins in national elections, Republicans were eating Democrats alive up and down the ballot. “Who thought Obama’s legacy would be the destruction of the Democratic Party,” she said […]
Obstruction, Lies and Dishonor: Hillary’s Benghazi Legacy
July 6, 2016 by
“If you guys don’t get out here, we’re all going to f—-ing die.” These first words of truth, spoken frantically by a Diplomatic Security Agent in Benghazi while under attack, are quoted for all to read as the first sentence of the House Select Committee’s comprehensive report Part I, “Terrorist Attack on U.S. Facilities in […]
Obama’s Legacy: 3rd Mass ISIS Attack in Days Leaves 143 DEAD in Iraq #Ramadan
July 4, 2016 by
This is Obama’s legacy. His frenzied withdrawal from Iraq (proclaiming his betrayal as some fictional victory) created the perfect storm, a vacuum for jihadists to grow and thrive. Obama’s ‘JV’ team is global and they are on the march, leaving mass murder and mayhem in their wake. All of Europe, Africa, the Middle East are […]
Obama’s Legacy: 1M Muslim Migrants to USA

President Obama’s Deceitful Legacy Tour
May 9, 2016 by
As President Obama’s second term nears its end he has begun a media tour emphasizing what he claims are the positive aspects of his policies. The complicit media, of course, have long worked to inflate positive impressions of Obama’s legacy, and this latest set of interviews is no different. “In two recent interviews, with The […]
Obama fabricates a legacy of economic achievement
April 29, 2016 by
President Obama is using Whig history to shape the narrative arc of his economic achievements. In 1931, Herbert Butterfield, an Oxford University don, wrote a short book entitled The Whig Interpretation of History. It’s not on today’s NYT’s Best Seller list, but it does describe President Obama’s efforts to frame the economic policies of his […]
The Legacy of Antonin Scalia
February 22, 2016 by
When I first became engaged in national public policy and politics in the mid-1980s, the conservative movement had a saying, which I believe originated with former Heritage Foundation president Edwin Feulner: “People are policy.” In essence, the phrase represented our collective recognition that success (or lack thereof) ultimately rested with the people of our movement. […]
OBAMA’S LEGACY
January 17, 2016 by
It seems like all we are hearing about from the main stream media these days is what Obama is doing to protect his legacy. He has one year left in his term and so I have a pretty good idea what that legacy will be and how it relates to what is happening in […]
Barack Obama Is Not Seeking “Legacy”
November 5, 2015 by
To the many gullible souls out there who truly think that Barack Obama is “legacy building” in his all-out assault on America, I implore you to bow out of the conversation because you are not seeing clearly. The term legacy carries positive connotations of something bequeath that is to the receiver’s benefit. Everything that Barack […]
