We have been fortunate to have him in the White House. Name one scandal that his administration caused or created. I cannot think of any.

The Ben Ghazi dude and the email server are not on him, but are tied (rightly or wrongly) to our presumptive nominee.

To some degree, the whole Tea Bagger movement was an artificial creation, funded by Kochs and others, which unfortunately gained power over time. Now, the rotting remnants that are left are quite easily described, compared to the initial outpouring of anger, fear, mistrust and frustration that crossed many lines. Today's Tea Baggers are racists, sexists, Fox News Devotees who are in their 60s or older, white, not well educated, and fearful of anything called change.

Given how they have put up so many roadblocks during Obama's presidency, I am still amazed how much he managed to accomplish. I agree. His terms in office will go down as one of the top 5 or 6 presidencies ever.
