Obama's Presidency

Dipa has retired recently and has plenty of time to follow Fox News. Obviously this Channel has little affection for Obama.

Thus, Dipa formed this impression of Obama.

Obama ran the Office of the President of USA as if he is undertaking a course for an Institution of Higher Learning's Scholastic Award. He stuck closely to the White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) prescription almost textbook-like to ensure his re-election.

In his second term when he is no longer eligible for re-election, he made bold moves reflecting his true colours. He broke away from the WASP script and is very much his own man. He took a strong stand against Israel - a traditionally close ally of the US. Opened up ties with Cuba. Gave generous concessions to Iran. Neglected Syria. Abandoned Iraq and Afghanistan.

At home, strengthened gay rights and the pro-choice agenda. Weakened support for the law enforcement agencies leading to increased violent crime and murder rates. Released 6000 drug users-pushers.

All actions seemed to be motivated in handing in a glowing report card when he leaves Office in January 2017. A report card that showed high scores when checked off against the election promises before the 2008 win. One big black mark, however, would still be the inability to shut down Gitmo. Not too bad an overall academic record to be housed in The Barack Obama Presidential Library when it is completed.

Really ?.... the Presidency of the US to be conducted this way, like University Dons prepare for their post-doctoral citations or evaluations or whatever you call them. No wonder so many political novices are crowding the GOP field vying for 2016.

GOD save US. 

But, this is the Fox News influenced take.. See latter post on Obama (Minus Fox News)
