Obama's brilliant legacy

Via: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/09/obama-legacy-becoming-crystal-clear-quite-brilliant.html

"Obama’s popularity grows by the day.

Within a couple of years his numbers will be through the roof. The reasons are quite simple—even though they are not fully appreciated today.

“Family values” actually means family values:

A beautiful family with unimpeachable values. What type of deplorable person would struggle with the family values on display for the last eight years? Compare this family with the Palin family—which family has exhibited pristine values? It is quite brilliant to recognize that there is still such a thing as American exceptionalism."

His main achievement is passing THE WORST version of healthcare reform imaginable and allowing the Democrats to take all the blame for a plan cooked up by Republicans who then ran against it to win more seats and governorships than at any time in modern history.
He bought into and embraced austerity and reduced the deficit at the expense of economic growth.
He made the Bush Tax cuts permanent for some of the richest people on earth.
He tried to push TPP down our throats.
All these moves gave us Trump who will now erase the little good his paltry neoliberal legacy brought us.
