The DNC recruited John Kerry to write a Trump smear email and blasted it out to the "list" on which I have been for many years, you know, to get the inside intel from the enemy camp so-to-speak. In said email Kerry spewed the following outlandish steaming heap of excrement:
Never before have I seen an American president make such embarrassing remarks on the world stage as we've seen from Trump -- and his speech at the United Nations General Assembly this past Tuesday was another disturbing example.While addressing the body, Trump once again boasted he had accomplished more in two years than any administration in history. His so-called "triumphant" moment was quickly met with laughter from world leaders.Never before has an American president become a joke to the world.We can change course in 38 days by electing Democrats nationwide who will stand up to Trump. Tomorrow is the last quarterly fundraising deadline before Election Day, which is why I am asking you directly [...]
It didn't take much "Googling" to discover how wrong John Kerry is, unless he actually slept through most of Hussein's presidency. The Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby dropped a scathing truth bomb in January 2017 outlining Obama's "trail of failure and disappointment."
He wrote in part:
- Obama took office during a painful recession and (with Congress's help) made it even worse. Historically, the deeper a recession, the more robust the recovery that follows, but the economy's rebound under Obama was the worst in seven decades.
- The Affordable Care Act should never have been enacted. Survey after survey confirmed that it lacked majority support, and only through hard-knuckled, party-line maneuvering was the wrenching health-care overhaul rammed through Congress. But Obama was certain the measure would win public support, because of three promises he made over and over: that the law would extend health insurance to the 47 million uninsured, that it would significantly reduce health insurance costs, and that Americans who had health plans or doctors they liked could keep them. But Obamacare has been a fiasco.
- The 44th president came to office vowing not to repeat the foreign-policy mistakes of his predecessor. His own were exponentially worse. In his rush to pull US troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, he created a power vacuum into which terror networks expanded and the Taliban revived. Islamic State's jihadist savagery not only plunged a stabilized Iraq back into shuddering violence, but also inspired scores of lethal terrorist attacks in the West. For months, Obama and his lieutenants insisted that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad could be induced to "reform," and pointedly refused to intervene as an uprising against him metastasized into genocidal slaughter. At last Obama vowed to take action if Assad crossed a "red line" by deploying chemical weapons — but when those weapons were used, Obama blinked. The death toll in Syria climbed into the hundreds of thousands, triggering a flood of refugees greater than any the world had seen since the 1940s.
- As a candidate for president, Obama promised to soothe America's bitter and divisive politics, and to replace red state/blue state animosity with cooperation and bipartisanship. But the healer-in-chief millions of Americans voted for never showed up. According to Gallup, Obama became the most polarizing president in modern history.
Jacoby closes his lengthy scorching of Obama's legacy with: "What followed, alas, was eight long years of disenchantment and incompetence. Our world today is more dangerous, our country more divided, our national mood more toxic." So true.
