More failure to come from Obama

For seven years, the Obama administration has failed to address major issues like the economy, jobs, terrorism, international and domestic relations.

The administration has been plagued by one unresolved "phony" scandal after another. They have been involved in deals like the failed reset with Russia, the trade of five Taliban leaders for one U.S. deserter, multiple "get out of jail free" deals for Gitmo terrorist detainees, the nuclear deal with Iran, which allows them to get a bomb and gives them money to fund it, plus a trade of seven Iranian criminals for four U.S. hostages.

The man who promised to be the great uniter has proved to be the great divider. His economic policies appear to be taking us from "the Great Recession" to the Great Recession II as we all watch our retirement savings plummet.

Based on the president's State of the Union address, his final year will be more of the same with special emphasis on the critical issues like closing Gitmo, increasing minimum wage, and climate change.

You can be assured there is one thing the new president will carry over from the Obama administration; blame everything on what they inherited from their predecessor.

It was Obama's fault. At least Jimmy Carter must be happy. He has lived long enough to see that he will no longer be considered the worst president in the history of the United States.
