I found Obama to be likeable as a person, as to his job I don't know enough about it to rate him on it. Is the country in better or worse shape than it was in 2009? Seems to me like it's a little better! And one more barrier has been knocked down! :)

Obama’s ugly bid to snub voters and tie Trump’s hands

In his waning days in the White House, President Obama is desperately trying to make his policies as permanent as possible by tying the hands of his successor — and far more than other presidents have done on their way out.

From his dramatic and disastrous change of US policy on Israel to his executive order restricting 1.65 million acres of land from development despite local objections, Obama is trying to make it impossible for Donald Trump and a GOP-controlled Congress to govern.

Even Thursday’s announcement of wide-ranging sanctions against Russia presents Trump with a foreign-policy crisis immediately upon taking office.

By contrast, many of Obama’s predecessors have stood back in their final days in office and refrained from any dramatic shifts, in deference to the agenda of the man voters sent to succeed them.

But Obama won’t accept the election results. As he suggested the other day, Trump’s election was a fluke — and he himself would have easily been re-elected if allowed to stand for a third term.

The USA is in better shape now than it was under traitor Bush whose Great Recession was the worse since the 1930s. You can gauge Obama's success by the fact that his approval ratings are the highest on record. After all, this was what right wingers said when Reagan was in office.

But Americans were so happy with Obama that they replaced him with Trump .

What did you find likeable about Obama? And how is the country in better shape than it was in 2009?
I disagree with you on both counts but would like to hear your reasoning.

The only thing that corrupts people more than wealth is power. Seems Obama was bitten by the 'power' bug. But when he had the power he used it badly and ineffectively.
Thank the highest powers he is soon gone!

Trump has all of the credentials to clean the place up ... no wealth, there, and he hates power. So do the bankers and generals that he is surrounding himself with to "drain the swamp".

Northern Ontario,
Don't you hate it, when visitors are leaving, with the door open, and they keep talking and can't seem to be able to just say goodbye?

Same thing on the phone.

Haha! yes. Poor Obama is devastated by having to give up his eight years of fame as dubious as it was.

Trump and his 'bankers and generals' that he is surrounding himself with have all the credentials necessary. They obviously knew how to become successful. They have the knowledge to make America successful.
What has political 'experience' every accomplished? Career politicians only claim to fortune is what they have milked from the public and what they have gained from insider deals. Their only real talent is in deceiving the naïve public.
I'd put my money on people who have proved that they can make it in private life.

Breaking Tradition, World Series Champion Cubs to Visit White House Before Obama Leaves, Avoiding Trump

Breaking Tradition, World Series Champion Cubs to Visit White House Before Obama Leaves, Avoiding Trump

by Joe DePaolo | 1:56 pm, January 11th, 2017

Just four days before President Barack Obama leaves office, the World Series champion Chicago Cubs are going to pay him a visit — in a break with recent tradition which dictates that the champions’ visit take place during the next season.

NBC Chicago first reported that the Cubs, who broke their 108 year World Series drought by finally breaking through this past November, will visit the outgoing President on Monday — just days before the Inauguration of his successor, Donald Trump.

Obama — a longtime fan of the Cubs’ crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox — extended the invite on Twitter immediately after the Cubs secured their dramatic Game 7 victory.

Funny how the elitist Ricketts family is Republican but they want to give Obama the privilege of hosting the winning team.
a lot of globalists have been masquerading as both democrats and republicans

its the old infiltrate and take over strategy the old communists have been using since forever.
look at the bankers that sent the Bolsheviks into Russia - investing in fomenting the Russian revolution

that's what you have in the US today, that's what is behind things like the fake news - and the PURPLE color revolution started and funded by country killers like george soros, who would like to see the US as a third world slave state

that's why on this forum we have some commentators pushing that very agenda, and we have all seen how much BS they are shoveling to that end
karma is a bitch though
