A Failed Legacy Filled With Bitterness

The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer leaves behind a Western world that is weaker and poorer than the one he inherited.  The American middle class continues its decline.  Russia is asserting it military might.  China is wielding its economic strength.

We are learning today through a published report in the New York Post President-elect Trump may have to work outside the Oval Office for up to a year because President Stompyfoot  allegedly refused to renovate it bulletproof glass and other security features the Secret Service would not comment on.

“My understanding is that for the first year of his time in office, President Trump will not have the Oval Office,' former senior advisor to President Bush Karl Rove said.  “President Obama could have told the Secret Service, ‘I know you want to modernize the Oval Office with security enhancements—literally strip it down to the bare walls and build it back up so we’ve got bullet proof glass and so forth and so on, security arrangements in it, in my last year in office. But Instead he said, ‘Why don’t you do that [with] whoever comes next so the president of the United States, President Trump, my understanding is, will spend most of his first year using Richard Nixon’s old office in the Old Executive Office Building across executive drive and up the Navy steps."

What a spiteful little man.

Remember when he changed the rug in the Oval Office?  New York Magazine memorialized the change saying his predecessor’s rug with golden sunbeams radiating out from the presidential seal depicting optimism was replaced with a "new America-hating" rug with a noticeably thinner bald eagle at the center of the presidential seal and a ring of iconic hopeful quotations from five American legends.

You’ll also remember the international incident that arose from Obama sending the Churchill bust back to the British Embassy along with all other art lent to him as President Bush’s presidency came to an end.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who at times campaigned for president-elect Donald Trump, said the Churchill bust will take back its rightful place in the White House to show solidarity with the UK.

Farage told Express in the UK:

“At the end of our time with Trump we asked him if the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Obama had removed from the Oval Office could be put back in its rightful place. He enthusiastically thought that was a good idea. Need I say more?”

Charles Moore, who covers politics for The Telegraph opined:

Mr. Obama’s most famous electoral message was “Yes, we can”. His electoral message to the British people is “No, you can’t”. 

If we want influence, security, free trade, democracy and the rule of law, we can get these things only by staying in the European Union, he informs us. We cannot contemplate living—as his own country so proudly does—as a wholly independent state. If we do, we “go to the back of the queue” in trade, he told the press conference last night. 

The president has spent most of his time in office neglecting old allies and seeking new ones, being chummier with Iran than Israel and with Castro than Cameron. [Emphasis mine]. 

He belatedly praises the network of alliances and programs—the Marshall Plan, Bretton Woods, NATO, the United Nations Security Council—which helped create the post-war order, but what he has actually done is to tiptoe away from NATO commitments, hoping that the EU will take up the slack.

Moore well remembers the firestorm The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer created when one his first acts as president was to remove the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office.  Britons viewed the move as a snub, one of many I might add, to the special relationship our two countries have maintained throughout our history,

He said he took the sculpture of Britain's wartime leader out of his office, where it had been placed by George W. Bush, because “there are only so many tables where you can put busts, otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered.”  The White House originally denied that the bust had been removed and sent back to Britain, before admitting that it actually had. 

He insisted that he had not snubbed Churchill or the Brits, adding: '”In the residence, on the second floor, my private office is called the Treaty Room and right outside the door of the Treaty Room, so that I see it every day, including on weekends when I'm going into that office to watch a basketball game, the primary image I see is a bust of Winston Churchill.  It's there voluntarily, because I can do anything on the second floor. I love Winston Churchill, love the guy.”

The controversy over Churchill’s bust happened in 2009.  So why did the president feel compelled to address the matter now?  Seems London’s mayor, Boris Johnson, told London’s newspaper The Sun the bust’s removal was a “sign of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike for the British Empire—of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.”

Obama finally admits to British Churchill bust removed because Oval Office had bad feng shui. https://t.co/KLRymVSWp9 #churchillbust
