Thanks Obama … The Democratic Party Is Decimated!BY: Andrew Kugle, January 4, 2017 4:04 pm Thank you to President Barack Obama for leaving office with the Democratic party in ruins. The past eight years have decimated the political party at all levels. After Obama was first elected president in 2008, he enjoyed a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, an eventual supermajority in the Senate, and Democrats had full control of 20 state governments. The victory of “hope and change” led to comments that the Republican party was dead and in the wilderness. Flash forward eight years and the Democratic Party is now in the wilderness... freebeacon.com/politics/thanks-obama-democratic-party-decimated/

Yet another obama 'legacy'... Obama Sets Record For Lowest Supreme Court Win Rate Since Zachary Taylor In 1850by Tyler Durden, Jan 25, 2017 4:15 AM A new study conducted by Lee Epstein of Washington University and Eric Posner of Kirkland & Ellis analyzed nearly 100 years worth of Supreme Court decisions and found that President Obama had, by far, the worst "win rate" of any President in their data set, going back to FDR, and perhaps the worst since Zachary Taylor held the White House in 1850. With a win rate of just 50.5%, Obama fell well short of previous presidents in modern history that won nearly two-thirds of their cases. To assess presidential performance in the U.S. Supreme Court, we created a dataset of cases of concern to the President. The dataset covers Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt through Barack Obama (1932-2015 terms), which amounts to 84 Court terms and 13 Presidents.
Three findings emerge from the raw data.www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-24/obama-sets-record-lowest-supreme-court-win-rate-zachary-taylor-1850
