Obama was Successful, not a Failure

Please bear with me as I explain myself.
Obama's stated goal was to "Fundamentally chang America" Now consider what he accomplished.
1. Millions more on Food Stamps,
2. Millions more in poverty
3. Accumulation of more debt than all previous Presidents
4. Drastic reductions in our military
5. Dramatic reduction in world respect for the USA
6 Mandatory purchase of health insurance or payment of increased taxes (Individual Mandate)
Taken together all of these things and many more, large and small changed the USA and to my mind not in a good way. These are all fundamental changes to the American Way. so given his goal of making a fundamental change to America, he had a great deal of success.
If Hillary had won, the downward spiral would have continued.
So don't say he did not achieve his goals, he most certainly did. It is just the fundamental change he wanted and stated he would work for was not what most Americans thought it was or would be.

    It depends what your definition of success and failure is?

    Your title should have been "Obama accomplished his goals", but that by definition is not success. Success only by his terms.

    In general, to be successful you have to do something with redeeming value to the country or citizenry.

    There was no redeeming value in anything Hussein has done. The goals were his own, to glorify his presidency and built his legacy. The country did not ask for them and their implementation has done tremendous damage.

    You should change your title.

    Obama wasn't a 'Democrat'. I saw him kiss that Saudi prince's ring! What had he done for the prince? Ask yourself that question. We already know.

    If it doesn’t stop, I see a day where individuals that still believe in objective reality will be forced to wear a patch with the symbol, “O”. And that will not stand for, “Obama.”

    Sadly, 49% still voted for more of that crap. Maybe we get 6 more years before they elect another Democrat to finish us off.
