The Golf-Pro in Chief...

In his final days in office, Obama created the largest ever expansion of access to non-minimized NSA intercepts, creating a path for all U.S. intelligence to gain access to unmasked reports.

This bolsters the information already presented by Devin Nunes that an entirely separate network of surveillance, unrelated to the Russian conspiracy story, was directly targeting the candidacy of Trump and the post-election surveillance of the President Elect Trump-transition team.

The legacy of Barack Obama...

...a continuing series...

The CIA had created, in effect, its "own NSA" with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified.

Home of the free, huh?

"A man whose life sentence for drug distribution conspiracy was recently commuted by former President Barack Obama is back in jail after allegedly crashing his vehicle while fleeing from a (kilo of cocaine) drug deal."

"In a signed notification approving the commutation application, then-President Obama wrote that Gill deserves it 'because you have demonstrated the potential to turn your life around'."

It gets better...

One of the dozens of people whose sentences were commuted by former president Barack Obama during his two terms in office was Damarlon C. Thomas, who had served eight years of a 19-year sentence for distributing cocaine.

On Monday, Thomas was brutally shot and killed in a halfway house in Saginaw, Michigan.

For the record, it wasn't "dozens of people"... it was hundreds.

The same keen sense of judgement that added over 8 trillion dollars to the national debt.

“Look, this is also not unprecedented, by the way,” Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel said. “I mean, Barack Obama put a pause for six months on refugees coming from Iraq back in 2011.

The legacy of Barack Hussein Obama

In a last major act as president, Barack Obama cut short the sentences of 330 federal inmates convicted of drug crimes on Thursday. With his final offer of clemency, Obama brought his total number of commutations granted to 1,715, more than any other president in U.S. history.

And let's talk finances...

"The debt hike from $10.7 trillion to $19.9 trillion is not just some accounting concern. It is unsustainable."

Don't get me started on "the exponentially exploding racial divide."

It's like he was actually trying to make America implode.

Goodbye President Argle-Bargle

We need a "common baseline of facts." That always sounds to me like longing for a time when liberal mainstream media filtered the facts. That's over. What are you going to do about it?

The facts are open to debate now, and many voices can be heard. If you really love democracy, why aren't you thrilled?

UPDATE: They can dream, can't they?

As the nation prepares for the peaceful transfer of power on Inauguration Day, CNN is dreaming up scenarios whereby the Obama administration can keep power if President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence were blown up as they prepared to take to oath of office./

Sounds like inciting sedition to me.

Community Organizer?

More like Divider-in-Chief...

This anodyne term was created by Chicago leftist Saul Alinsky who created the position to “rub raw the sores of discontent”.

Many thought Obama's moderate sounding speeches meant he had tossed Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals in the dustbin. Instead, upon entering the White House, he created Organizing for Action, which has trained 5 million Americans in Alinsky tactics.

When I said, “My favorite part of the Obama era is all the racial healing” two years ago, I thought I could retire the tweet in January 2017. But perhaps the Obama era is just getting started.

"So now we are left with a bloated race grievance/ identity politics industrial complex that he nurtured. What are these people going to do?

“Not even Ann Coulter included one of the biggest names of all. You know, the guy with his own national holiday.”

Apparently Hillary Clinton was unavailable for comment.

You can take the Congressman...

...out of "the hood", but...

On January 6th, it came to the attention of the nation that a painting was hanging in the Cannon Tunnel on Capitol Hill which depicted police officers as pigs who are brutalizing black citizens.

Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter took the painting down, calling it offensive, and set off a battle which is more fitting of a middle school lunchroom than the halls of Congress.

Which is also why even lifelong Democrats held their noses and voted for Trump. People are sick of these "professional agitators" purporting to speak for them.

Earlier this week Representative Lacy Clay (who, incidentally is both black and responsible for hanging the painting) told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “Yes, some people find it offensive. I don’t find it offensive.

In fact, Clay is so much of a fanboy, he will be rehanging the painting back in a very public location.

Congressional Black Caucus and Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., whose office for months had sponsored the display of the student artwork, announced that Clay and CBC members will “rehang” the piece Tuesday morning in the Cannon Tunnel.

You have to wonder how Representative Clay would feel about the painting if it depicted the black protesters as monkeys.

This is the legacy of Hussein Obama, whom history will inevitably come to regard as "The Great Divider."

Of course Barack deserves his Nobel Prize...

...it's not like he dropped 30,000 bombs in the course of 2016... right?

"The U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs last year, 3,027 more than 2015. The majority of the bombs were dropped in Iraq and Syria."

Remember, only bomb strikes by George W. Bush cause collateral (ie. innocent children) damage.

And with that one statement...

"...Obama lost the diplomatic war with Russia..."

"Although we have the right to retaliate, we will not resort to irresponsible ‘kitchen’ diplomacy but will plan our further steps to restore Russian-US relations based on the policies of the Trump Administration."

Hussein Obama just got his ass handed to him.

LAST WORD: Corrupt to the bone...

...the real legacy of Barack Hussein Obama...

“I’m so glad I can early vote. It’s so exciting. I love voting,” Obama said. But what he and his fellow Illinois Democrats love most is voting “the Chicago Way.” That involves bending every rule in the book, appointing compliant election judges, and looking the other way when some of Chicago s notorious voter fraud occurs behind the curtain.

“We have a sick political culture, and that’s the environment Barack Obama came from,” Jay Stewart, the executive director of the Chicago Better Government Association, warned ABC News when Obama ran in 2008. He noted that Obama “had been noticeably silent on the issue of corruption in his home state.”

And now America, after 8 years of Obama, is how many trillions of dollars in debt?

Hillary thinks this is a lot of hufflepuff and, although he doesn't die, Billy finds himself under an impediment curse which means that for the rest of the book he hardly gets to take his wand out at all and Uncle Vernon starts calling him Nearly Headless Bill.

“I can’t pardon somebody who hasn’t gone before a court and presented themselves, so that’s not something that I would comment on at this point,” Mr. Obama told the German newspaper.

As it turns out, Barack Hussein is lying. Perhaps he thought, "It's Germany, no one's gonna notice."

November 9, 2016 | 4:10pm The White House isn’t ruling out the possibility of Hillary Clinton receiving a last-minute pardon from President Obama — even though she hasn’t been charged with a crime.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is granting clemency to 72 more federal inmates whose sentences will now end earlier than expected.

Obama has been commuting sentences at rapid-fire pace in his final months, including a batch of 98 last week. All told, Obama has granted 944 people clemency, including 324 who were serving life sentences.

The White House says it's more than the previous 11 presidents combined.
