Obama had ZERO executive experience when he became POTUS. He famously never so much as ran a lemonade stand before he entered the White House. So not surprisingly, his legacy is the destruction of Libya, the near destruction of Syria, the resulting refugee crisis that is tearing Europe apart, and the launching of Cold War II with Russia. If you don’t think that last one is important then watch the movie Dr. Strangelove over and over again until you get it.

Obama isn't on the ballot this next time, so you can stop running against him. No, really, I mean it, he has no plans for a coup and is not seeking the title of President-for-Life, let alone a third term, so all you slow learners out there in Nether Fundistan can stop campaigning against him now. You'll have a lot more spare time in which to learn to count your toes.
I don't remember all the love Kaddafi, Assad and Hussein got when their nations were stable.
do you have any policy positions, or are you just contrarian?
Wasn't Obama a lawyer and a senator?
How many lemonade stands did Dubbya run before he entered the White House?
Sweden, which received more refugees per capita than any other European country (to my knowledge), is having a strong economy, and was recently deemed the best country to live in (highly biased probably, but still). That's how hard the refugee "crisis" is tearing at us.
We're not the ones with a crisis; Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Irak, Lebanon are the ones with the real crisis.
Nobody has experience of the Top Job. But at least Obama had political experience, tempered with expertise in Law; the US Constitution, and all that jazz.
Running a company =/= running a country .
Frankly, that what's on Donald Fart's head has infinitely more experience than the... thing it rests upon. Perhaps that's why he has it on his head: it's his most trusted adviser?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
B-But Swede! We have a scary black guy in our white house! And we have a womin running for president! Gays aren't being lynched for existing, We can't threaten people who aren't Christian, and Muslims are allowed to walk two feet without being strip-searched! It's a crisis I say! A crisis!
In the meantime unemployment is down to 4.9%, the Dow Jones is over 18,000, the deficit is down to $400 billion, we have a nuclear agreement with Iran and NATO is the strongest it's ever been.
Libya and Syria were always a mess. Balanced against the positive things coming out of the Obama Administration I'd say things have gone quite well.
Of course Putin, peace loving guy that he is, hasn't been doing anything suspicious has he? Any "refugee crisis" there may be in Europe is Europe's concern or do you think the POTUS controls that too?
And I bet it was Obama who cancelled Firefly!
"his legacy is the destruction of Libya, the near destruction of Syria"
The near destruction of Syria was caused by the descent into civil war after Assad turned violently against protestors. There's an argument that you could apportion some blame onto Obama for this in not intervening in Syria or aiding the Kurds and other rebels sufficiently, especially after it was clear that Assad had overstepped the red line of chemical weapons usage, but given that you blame Obama for the Libyan crisis, presumably because of the no fly zone implemented, I doubt that this is the reason why you blame Obama for Syria. This leads me to believe that you're a biased fool who'd blame Obama regardless, be it a case where he made an intervention of some kind (i.e. Libya) or one where little has been done (i.e. Syria).
"and the launching of Cold War II with Russia."
Yet it's the Russians who have shown a more forceful push for their own interests and against the interests of other sovereign states, be it in Georgia, Ukraine or Syria, forcing the USA to act or sit idly by. I have little doubt that you'd say "but, what about the western backing of regimes/factions against Russia," as if the mire US friendly groups not wanting to their country to be a buffer state for Russia warrants destabilisation by the Russians.
To fnn's credit, Dr. Strangelove is a great movie. Though I wouldn't suggest repeated watchings right after each other. It is a bit long and slow in places. Also, like many comedies, repeated watchings right after each other might lessen the fun. So once every so often watching Dr. Strangelove is a good idea. I will give the post that much credit. Hope you all have a great day and be sure to keep all of your precious bodily fluids pure.
This kind of clueless self-contradiction is always hilarious, same as the 9/11 Troofers who credit Bush with supernatural powers of concealment ... supposedly used to distract from his incompetence.
Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, ran for US Congress and lost, served as chair of the Health and Human Services Committee in IL Senate, elected to US Senate in 2004.
Trump? Not even County Clerk.
Bush had lots of executive experience when he became POTUS. He destroyed an oil company and a sports franchise. So not surprisingly, his legacy is the 9-11 attacks, the great depression part II, the destruction of Iraq and the creation of ISIS.
If little Barry Obama had a lemonade stand, fnn would have found evil in it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
