Obama is petulant

Americans should be concerned that, for the next two years, President Obama will do everything to achieve a legacy. To date he hasn’t accomplished anything that he can put in his library. His followers probably believe that he belongs on Mount Rushmore. Fortunately, there isn’t enough room for two more faces. They’re the same people that believe he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.

He praises himself for his failures. He said drilling for oil would not bring down oil prices. Now that they’re down he’s taking credit even though it’s done mostly through fracking and drilling on private land; two things that he opposes. He should tell the American public what he accomplished instead of campaigning on what he did.

After six years of going without any input from the Republican Party, he wants to work with them. Maybe it’s because he lost the Senate and former Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid was the only man who kept him from having to make any big decisions.

He is the most petulant president in modern day history and the worst since World War ll. This is a good start for his library.
