At last we have the definitive word on Obama's legacy!!! From Obama himself!!! In his "farewell address", which C.B.N. described as "longer than the accumulative addresses of Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, he mentioned himself 75 times, promoting the many accomplishments of his administration, at least as he sees it. It's almost as if he is trying to refute the almost inevitable historical assessment of his terms in office as the worst, and weakest in the history of American Presidents, even before they are written in future history books. Perhaps he feels he must promote himself, because no one else is likely to do so. This is finally the first issue that I can heartily concur with him about!!! And I wish January 20th could get here even faster, and then, "Good Riddance to Obama, and the idiots who served under him"!!!
I'll admit to reservations for the Trump administration. The man's heart appears to be well-intended, if his libido can remain in check. He seems to have a good idea for what the business world needs to bring America back to world prominence. But does that translate into common sense in the field of international Geo-politics ? We'll have to wait and see, about that, I guess.
The one major impression I have left over from this past election is this: Trump won the Republican nomination, not because he was so good, but because the other candidates were more concerned with appearing presidential and wanting to moderate the Obama legacy, though the American people wanted to abolish it!!! After that, it was a choice between an egotist, and a criminal, and that was not a difficult choice, at least not as I see it.
But if Trump wants a second term, he'd better keep his hands to himself, and get his fiscal house in order, quickly. Because the Democrats will pounce on him if his policies take more than a couple years to show signs of improvement, especially in the areas of job creation, and a replacement for "Obama-Care"!!!
