Provide me with a picture of this president, standing beneath the white columned portico of the White House, the sun on his face, a gray shadow behind him and I will eat my hat. I might even eat your hat. The reason he casts no shadow anyplace is that there is no substance to him, not even a smudge. He is almost a totally illusory figure.
The last time I drew attention to Mr. Obama’s lamentable condition some readers scoffed at me and pointed to Obamacare, which has practically wrecked the health care system of millions of Americans. Surely that disaster casts a long and dark shadow behind the 44th president, they admonished. I remained serene. And what about Mr. Obama’s dealings with Israel, our most loyal ally in the Middle East? Just the other day one of his henchpersons ambushed Israel in the U.N. Security Council. Admittedly, there have been setbacks suffered by the United States while this incompetent was in office but I believe they will be short-lived. Donald Trump is coming to town and he is bringing with him an exceptional Cabinet. Already he is threatening to erase Mr. Obama’s foolishness, and he is doing it on Twitter. Wait until he is seated in the Oval Office with the power of the other two branches of government behind him. In the end, it will be seen that I was right, as I was right in calling the last election: Mr. Obama leaves no shadow, not even a legacy; Donald Trump won on Nov. 8.
President Trump will arrive at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue carrying an attache case bulging with executive orders to rescind and agency regulations to nullify. I am sure he is aware that for years the 44th president and his servitors have been promulgating regulations large and small to give the bureaucracy ever more intrusive control over business and the citizenry. Mr. Trump will as he promised cut the waste, rein in government, and "drain the swamp."
