As I contemplate the ghastly election in front of us, I can see PBO receding in the rear view mirror, and it makes me want to weep.

And you agree that it's negative so pretty much you're shooting the messenger.

What I was thinking.

Many of the polling firms skew right, so as you said Pres. Obama's numbers more than likely are a bit HIGHER than mentioned in Gallup polling.

Trump will not like it when he gets the President Obama treatment. Obama will tear Trump a new one that will hard from trump to counter outside of a 3 red grade response.

Obama's list of major accomplishments as President numbers in the hundreds. No President since FDR got more done that was of consequence. He changed the direction of this country in almost every way. Through pragmatism he took small victory after small victory, each one that made America just a little better and a little more fair, they all add up to an A+ grade. Sure he wanted more radical change than what he was able to get on most issues, but he took the wins rather than hold and and get nothing.
