Obama's Legacy: The Tea Party Movement

I have commented a number of times that Barack Obama is the worst enemy of Liberalism and of my Black brothers and sisters. The country was being moved slowly and gradually to the Left by Liberals of both parties, but the lurch to the Left engineered by Team Obama, Pelosi and Reed created a backlash that will transform American politics for a generation. Race relations in this country had improved dramatically for a generation; qualified Black candidates held some of the highest offices in the land. We were ready for a Black president; but not this one: imperious, disdainful, an egomaniac and ever ready to play the race card.


Steven den Beste Obama's Legacy:

A long time ago I came to the conclusion that one of the motives driving Obama is his concern over his legacy. How will he be seen once he leaves office? In particular, given that he’s the first President who isn’t white, what kind of record will he leave behind for the next non-white to make the attempt?


Will voters say, “Oh boy! This guy might be another Obama!” or will they say, “God help us, he might be another Obama”? Obama doesn’t want it to be the latter.


Unfortunately, it is increasingly looking as if that will be his legacy. The Obama administration is rapidly shaping up as a good bad-example. Obama has done nearly everything wrong that he possibly could do. Those that follow will learn from his example not what to do but rather what not to do.

Obama’s main legacy is going to be to utterly blacken the reputation of the “Progressive” political program for the next fifty years, if not even longer.


History will judge Obama’s biggest historical effect to be the backlash he will inspire against him among voters. His most important legacy will be the Tea Party movement, which wouldn’t have happened without him.
