 Obama suffers brutal rebuke as America votes Trump

By Sarah Wheaton

11/09/16 04:33 AM EST


President Barack Obama said his legacy was on the ballot.

His legacy lost on Tuesday night.

Donald Trump’s election was a stinging rebuke for the president who pushed through transformational reforms on healthcare, Wall Street and the environment. And, especially for Democrats, it was all the more confounding given that his approval rating has rarely been higher — “paradoxical,” as former Obama strategist David Axelrod described it early Wednesday morning.

Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, both she and Obama gambled that tethering her agenda to his rebounding personal popularity would help seal the progress he spent eight years battling for.

“My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot,” Obama told a gathering of black leaders in September, in a formulation he would deliver repeatedly throughout the fall as he stumped for Clinton. He ticked off his accomplishments: expanded health coverage, economic recovery and troops largely removed from harms’ way in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That is the only reason I'm somewhat happy this morning...King Barack got a poke in the eye, and the Clintons are (hopefully) gone forever from Washington. Here's hoping people can clean up the slimy trail they left.

Total repudiation of Obama's rPresidency. Glad that the first woman President won't be a treasonous corrupt lying thief with  serious medical condition.

This kinda makes the presidential popularity poll that the MSM has been touting lately irrelevant. Who cares how much people like you if they reject your policies.

After 8 years of watching that smarmy smirky little gnat-man poke America in the eye and try and bully all of us into his progressive utopia with his executive orders, I'm enjoying this electoral machete getting stabbed right in his eye and wiping away everything in one fell swoop.
