how Obama will go down as one of, if not THE worst president ever.

A. He's not even in the top 20 of "Bad presidents".

B. He's so far and away greater than his dry drunk predecessor, who bankrupted the country, sold us out to the likes of Lloyd Bankfiend, committed war crimes and appointed two of the worst Supreme Court justices since Reagan gave Scalia a robe.

C. Wasn't it always conservatives who said "Presidents ain't got nothing much to do with the economy" when things shat the bed in 2007-8, but CNBC today never hesitates to turn positive news negative, as they always have under Obama.
