Hi Marian that was a great post, everything I've thought about Obama is put into words perfectly, I think he was the most
"underachieving achiever ever", whatever happens with Donald Trump it wont be boring thats for sure. I'd like to see someone with Matt Patterson's talent do a write up on some of our politicians, it would be a very entertaining subject
, cheers. JC

Despite what the politics of the writer of the article are, no one can dispute that what he has written is the truth.
I was on holiday in Florida last year and hard no one praising him, be they Black or White or from above or below the Mason Dixon line. Virtually every veteran I overheard or spoke to (they are easy to spot as they all wear their units baseball cap or shirt with pride) had nothing but vitriol about his terms in office and looking at the riots that have occurred in his last year of Presidency coupled with the rise in gun related deaths and violence along with his noticeable lack any attempt to curb the gun laws beyond spouting how terrible it was that X number of people had been slaughtered in another attack on decent people.
History will judge him as the most ineffective President of the past 100 years.

Well they don't come any more boring than Obama Ivan and Patterson made a good article out of him, I believe politicians
only ever let the public see their well practised image, politicians are a different breed there is always two sides to a person
whoever they are, cheers. JC

For all the time the spent on the golf course I believe he wasn't very good at that either.
An all round loser one could honestly say.
