But the big ones, like the failure of the Obama presidency, I got right. That's just it...........you didn't get that one right either. You have yet to learn that you just can't declare something that is your opinion and expect it to be considered fact. The world doesn't work that way. So sorry.

If Obama's administration has been a failure, we need more like it. Want failure? Look at Dubya's administration. Two unnecessary wars, costing a trillion dollars and counting. We actually lost jobs over the course of his administration, something no other president has managed to do. He presided over the near collapse of the global economy. Granted, it wasn't solely his responsibility, but he pushed for policies that made it worse than it would have been otherwise. He spent like a drunk sailor, the budget was spiraling out of control on his watch. The Middle East, not exactly a paragon of stability, was destabilized even more with his little adventure in Iraq. Iran had its main counter-balance taken out of the equation, boosting them to being the power in the region. Taking the Iraqi oil off the market, along with growing demand in China and India caused the price of oil to skyrocket. Only recently has that trend reversed. Our international reputation was seriously damaged, Obama has done a great job in rehabilitating our image in the world. With the creation of Homeland Security and eliminating the controls on the NSA, we have become a security state who spies on everyone and in great detail. The damage he did to the country will take decades to repair. Obama has made a good start at the repair, but he only has 8 years. So you blew both of those projections. Obama is doing a lot better than you projected and Bush was far, far worse. We still haven't seen the hyper-inflation you so confidently projected because of the stimulus. Shall I continue?
