Obama sure has caused a lot of destruction in this world and in America since becoming President of USA in 2007-2008. During his 8 years in office Obama destroyed the 'middle class' of America. The middle-class that he destroyed in those 8 years were the educated Americans educated in the 20th Century in America. Even before 2008, he was already at work spreading his personal progressive and communist beliefs as well as his upbringing in the early years in the Muslim beliefs of his childhood. Now as we review the carnage, our nation is facing an election that we must win for America----by supporting and voting for Donald J. Trump for President. This election in 2016 is an opportunity to make a clean sweep of the Obama and Clinton 20 plus year of the destruction of America and the world. To prevent the destruction of the budding middle class-----we must have a President of the United States of Your and our America to lead and rebuild America to assure that we are all a part of the rejuvenation of America. THAT PERSON, MAN, IS DONALD J. TRUMP with another leader MIKE PENCE . They are ready skilled and educated to lead America and Congress. To follow the Trump and Pence Campaign there are two main boards on SI------one moderated by Ground Zero and one moderated by Honey-Bee. mj Virginia Woman for Tump and Pence

It’s only been a few weeks since former President Barack Obama left the White House, but presidential historians have already placed him on the right side of history.

AC-SPAN survey of 91 historians and presidential experts ranked the Democrat the 12th best leader in United States presidential history — just ahead of James Monroe and right behind Woodrow Wilson.

Another Illinois politician, former President Abraham Lincoln, claimed the survey’s top spot. He’s followed closely by George Washington, with Franklin D. Roosevelt rounding out the top three.

Experts who participated in the survey were asked to grade the presidents on 10 different facets of their terms in office, like “Crisis Leadership” and “International Relations.”

Obama earned high marks for his pursuit of “Equal Justice for All,” ranking third in the category behind Lincoln and former President Lyndon B. Johnson. He also cracked the top 10 for his “Moral Authority” and “Economic Management,” ranking seventh and eighth, respectively.

The 44th president’s lowest mark is for his relationship with Congress. Historians ranked him 39th, ahead of only a few others including former presidents Franklin Pierce and Andrew Johnson, who was ranked last.

Experts said the passing of time will likely effect Obama’s rankings in the future and remained mixed on whether the former President’s marks were higher or lower than expected, Politico reported.

“Although 12th is a respectable overall ranking, one would have thought that former President Obama’s favorable rating when he left office would have translated to a higher ranking,” Howard University professor Edna Green Medford told the news outlet.

Douglas Brinkley, a Rice University professor and C-SPAN adviser, was a bit more impressed with the Democrat’s ranking.

“That Obama came in at number 12 his first time out is quite impressive,” he said in a press release cited by Politico.

Medford, also a member of C-SPAN’s historical advisory board, emphasized only the passing of time can truly show the impact of Obama’s term in office.

“Of course historians prefer to view the past from a distance,” she said. “And only time will reveal his legacy.”

Reuters Just Confirmed FBI Is Conducting THREE Different Investigations Into Trump’s Russia Scandal

Just how deep do Trump’s ties to the Russian hacking of the 2016 election go? According to Reuters, the FBI wants to know and have launched three separate investigations looking into the scandal. The news organization confirmed the investigations through five current and former government officials with direct knowledge of the situation, shedding light on the scale of the investigation for the first time.

President Donald Trump has claimed numerous times the election was wrought with fraud, yet has insisted it came from the Democrats and illegal immigrant voters.

It seems the FBI does not agree. While their investigations are not centered around the final election results, they are each looking at what role Russia played in hacking the Democratic National Committee and just how much influence the Kremlin had over Trump’s and his campaign.

The White House has been quiet about the investigations, a spokesperson would only point to an earlier quote by Trump during the campaign in which he said, “As far as hacking, I think it was Russia, but I think we also get hacked by other countries and other people.”

While it has been previously reported that the FBI was looking into the hacks, the number of independent investigations and just what they are looking for was previously unknown.

Of the three, the most damaging to Trump’s presidency could come from FBI counterintelligence agents based in Washington. According to Reuters, “This counterintelligence inquiry includes but is not limited to examination of financial transactions by Russian individuals and companies who are believed to have links to Trump associates.”

If agents find direct ties to Trump or his campaign, this could be grounds for impeachment if our Republican-strangled Congress chooses to act. Just how many ties to foreign corporations or governments Trump has are still unknown, as he still refuses to release his tax returns to the public.

Previous reports have indicated that Trump and some of his staff could be victims of Russian blackmail. Hopefully, these investigations can shed some light on just how serious this claim really is.

If the President of the United States was installed or was blackmailed by a hostile foreign government, the American people deserve to know.
