The Obama legacy


David Limbaugh: Obama's National Security Report Card — Unsatisfactory  "In his speech at MacDill Air Force Base, President Obama bragged that he has made America safer while preserving America’s values.
"The incessant self-absorption is annoying enough, but the self-delusion puts it over the top. Whether he’s talking the economy or national security, he always paints a picture of his performance that contradicts reality." . . .
Trump Meets with Ohio State Terror Victims and Hero Officer While Obama Makes Plans to Go on the Daily Show  "Still six weeks until he’s sown in, but he’s already acting presidential. Meanwhile, Barack Obama continues to be Barack Obama." . . .

Trump's picks promise a new national security direction.
"One thing that has become patently obvious with President-elect Donald Trump’s national-security selections to date: The era of apology tours is over. With General James “Mad Dog” Mattis as secretary of defense, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as national security advisor, and General John Kelly as secretary of homeland security, there’s a distinct message being sent: America’s back, and we’re not putting up with certain crap any longer." . . .
.  .  . "It’s safe to say that the highly restrictive rules of engagement under which our troops have labored will be history."
