The Death Rattle Of Obama’s Reputation
Obama officials have been pulling out the stops this week after the Obama-Hezbollah report was revealed, to deflect and attack Trump. This shows how badly Obama performed on the world stage in our interests compared to Trump.
Quote:The members of Barack Obama’s administration in exile have become conspicuously noisy of late—even more so than usual. Former CIA Director John Brennan accused Donald Trump and his administration of engaging in “outrageous,” “narcissistic” behavior typical of “vengeful autocrats” by threatening proportionate retaliation against countries that voted to condemn the United States in the United Nations, as though that were unprecedented. It is not. James Clapper, Obama’s director of national intelligence, all but alleged that the president is a Russian “asset.” Perhaps the most acerbic and incendiary series of accusations from the former Democratic president’s foreign-policy professionals were placed in the New York Times by Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice. In her estimation, America has abdicated its role as a “force for good.”
It’s no coincidence that these overheated condemnations accompany abundant evidence that the Trump administration is finding its legs. As the last administration’s undeserved reputation as sober-minded foreign policy rationalists is dismantled one retrospective report at a time, its jilted members are lashing out.
Rice’s attacks on the Republican administration deserve the most attention, if only because they are the most apoplectic. Donald Trump’s recently released national-security review paints a “dark,” “almost dystopian” vision of the world, Rice contended. His world is full of “hostile states and lurking threats.” Rice claimed that there is “no common good” in Trump’s worldview. What’s more, there is no “international community” and no “universal values.” There are just “American values.”

The fact that he and his henchmen won't be quiet and stay out of the public eye is all you need to know. Oballah needs to focus on his library in Sudan.

The job was bigger than the man. All the other world leaders knew what a weakling he was. Chicago style politics brought to the White House. What a legacy.

In 2008, he actually had a chance to be a uniter. He instead chose the political route which was to be a divider. Divider in chief.....
As I said, the job was bigger than the man - and he never grew into it......remained a hack politician for his entire time...

For the love of god woman, the world IS full of hostile states and lurking threats, always was, and no amount of liberal feel-goodism is going to change that. Trump represents America, Americans, and American values. Obama should have tried it.

all that guy had was the gift of gab......
that's the beauty of DJT.....he's a such a goon with his 'speak' at times, but his ideology is simply spot on.....it's the latter that matters.....that's what the dippos have forgotten and continue to do so....

Yep. It's the age old truism of it's less important what someone says than what they do. Libs tend to place a lot of importance on looks and how well someone speaks and follow them even if that same person has no spine and is empty inside.......why else love and follow the Hollywood crowd.

Trump (and Obama) was elected to be president of the United States, not president of the world.

Which is EXACTLY what a NATIONAL security plan should be full of. AMERICAN values for an AMERICAN national security policy.

Believe me, this dipshites name will be in the news more often now. Everyone will be speaking about Oblunder. Tee hee.
The only legacy that POS will be one comparable to Benedict Arnold but instead of aiding the Brits OBlunder was aiding his people the Muskees.

Exhibit One of why Libturds love OBlunder...no brains at all, or like Pancho, the Cisco Kids partner would say, "David ain't got no brams".
