‘Legacy’: 10 Ways Barack Obama Broke the American Systemby Joel B. Pollak, 21 Dec 20160 Much ink has been spilled, and much bandwidth spent, on describing Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a populist revolt. Less attention has been paid to what voters were rebelling against. There were economic grievances — in the Upper Midwest in particular — but the economy as a whole is slowly recovering. (As Alexis de Tocqueville observed, revolutions tend to occur in times of rising expectations.) But at its core, the revolution of 2016 was an attempt at restoration — at fixing a broken system. What broke it? Both parties acquiesced in bank liberalization, open-borders immigration, and Wall Street bailouts. But the most acute challenge was Barack Obama’s direct attack on the constitutional framework itself. Obama sought to transform America, and believed that the ends would justify the means. Republicans, hypnotized by race and cowed by the media, put up little fight. So voters took matters into their own hands. Here are ten of the most serious ways Obama broke the system. www.breitbart.com/california/2016/12/21/legacy-10-ways-barack-obama-broke-american-system/
