Yeah, I don't think Obama's legacy is looking too good.
Did everyone hear that UPS is cutting out spousal benefits because it says it can't afford the costs associated with Obamacare?
The middle east...
I don't necessarily blame Obama for the mess over there. Some people question our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan to begin with and it's no surprise to me that Iraq is reverting back to even more chaos with our departure.
Egypt? I dunno, we could cut financial aid there; I wouldn't be opposed to that but I think the hope is that they have another "democratic" election (although we should be calling a coup a coup for chrissake).
Syria. I think we're definitely fucked if we do/fucked if we don't. I'm not ready to jump in and support the rebels at this point but those damn chemical weapons...Obama looks weak with regards to his "red line". He shouldn't have made that statement in the first place but, like I said, I'm not ready to start dropping bombs on Assad at this point either.
Russia...that ties back to what's happening in Syria, now Snowden...mess. But yes, the administration has to take some responsibility for the deterioration of that relationship. IIRC, Obama basically got caught saying he thought Putin was an asshole awhile ago, right? Nice......
Obama's fuck ups are going to make it harder for Hillary if she runs in 2016. She's going to have to figure out a way to differentiate/distance herself (besides the whole male/female, black/white thing) in her candidacy.
