Precisely. +1 and Sowell's research is always excellent.

"12,000 civilians fell victim to the Obama drone program."
Amazing! There were protests every week when W Bush was president, even though there were more deaths while Obama was president. It's disgraceful.
"'Collateral' casualties among civilians around the terrorists are harder to come by"
It's impossible to know who's a criminal without fair trials.

The title says it all.

Goodbye and Good Riddance!

"This is all silly...". Really, CG? Exactly what is so silly about what is being pointed out by ISank?

Awesome post, blarman! Reminds me of the book "The Worst President In History: The Legacy of Barack Obama" by Matt Margolis & Mark Noonan. It was recommended elsewhere in the Gulch and I purchased it and found it a very informative read.

I would have additionally commented that the fact Clinton administration was able to "balance the budget" was due to the economic boom in the 90's (credit falsely given to Clinton) was quite a bit due to Reagan's economic policies in the 80's. Yep, trickle down Reaganomics actually worked. Additionally, the economic crash/credit freeze of 07/08 (blamed on Bush) was mainly due to the meddling in and destruction of the American mortgage backed security during the Clinton administration. Thomas Sowell wrote a nice book describing this real estate related boom and bust due to government meddling, but the title escapes me as I write this and I'm a long way from my home library.

I am expecting that or something like it.

Having "Senator" before her name and a "D" after it will be qualifications enough for the 2020 upcoming Pocahontas Woo-woo-woo-Warren.

Being black, white, asian, or female has nothing to do with qualifications for the job of president.

He is ego maniacal and conceited to a fault. Just the right kind of personality needed to be easily manipulated by the powers that be. Such a weak, ineffective person.

Yah, sure. January 20th, 2017; "A Day That Shall Live in Infamy", 2.

One quibble: being black is not a legitimate qualification for President. It is a non-factor that got made into the primary factor of both the 2008 and 2012 elections and many people admit that they voted for Obama because he was black - not because he was qualified as an Executive.

Lol.

I watched his speech (all but the first 10 minutes of it) and, have to say, he is still an excellent speaker.

Now, saying that, he did lie, misinform and mislead everyone who was listening, but, then, that's no surprise.

Oh, I heard a rumor that he liked his own speech so well that he's considering a sequel...

I think that there are lot of entitled people who want free health care. The congressmen will vote for that to be paid for by the taxes. BUT, I do think that the mandates and stupid regulations inherent in Obamacare will go away, and the costs for the typical middle class people will go back down to where they were before Obamacare

Did I hear? "I brought opaqueness from transparency, hypocracy from truth, strict regulations from freedom, divisiveness from harmony, and disparity from unity!" If I didn't, I should have.

Thanks. I tend not to start threads on message boards that I have just joined. I'm fine with you doing it.

Thanks!

There won't be a slowing, it won't be as noticeable while the pundits claim Trump is undoing things like the ACA while in reality they will be adding to it.

I do think we will see a slowing of the march to socialism for the next 4 years. After that, it will resume its relentless march.

I am so DONE with black entitlement and also white entitlement. It does seem to be more prevalent in the black culture courtesy of Obama, though.

The media just wants to keep us interested in what isnt interesting at all, so that advertisers will pay them. I only listen to FOX, and not very much anymore. Its stuff that isnt going to help my life at all.

arrogant, petulant brat is how I would describe Obama.

I agree. Good riddance of the most arrogant, petulant, brat of a president I have ever known. His only qualification was that he was black. May he drift into obscurity quietly and never be heard from again. His legacy will be one of corruption, racism, and inept foreign and domestic management.

I have doubts there ever was a good president in that they respected the rights enumerated in the constitution of the republic and always sought ways around it to achieve their goal of political and universal slavery of the masses while trying to keep themselves out of it, i.e. the ACA which all congressmen voted to not be part of. Will the incoming president be different? As likely as Obama bringing all the troops home and ending the war as he promised he would do 8 years ago and yet it still goes on. Will socialism slow under Trump? I doubt it. It is what the masses demand and want and the tyrants will be only too glad to give it to them.

Answer granted, though I will pull it if you would like to post it yourself. You did the work, you deserve the credit.
