Regardless of "other presidents" that are used to defend his terrible job, Obama has circumvented congress with E.O.s and also refused to allow certain laws to be enforced. Regardless of who is to blame for his seven plus years of terrible economy and welfare payments, his encouragement of racial division has set America back many years. Regardless of any wars that he may not be responsible for, his foreign policies were/are terrible. Yes, history will always be kinder to the past, especially to the first black president. Defensive excuses have been and will continue to be used to cover for his inept, lack of ability. It is not his fault totally. He was not prepared for the job, and had no experience or leadership training to rely upon. Obama was/is a failed experiment. He is only considered a traitor by omission and dereliction. Only history will tell whether he has been a catalyst willingly or negligently to America's crippling.

I can understand why liberals in their embarrassment of him, find it necessary to defend their willing accessory to his election.
