In a recent article, the learned Victor Davis Hanson lays out what President Obama has done for liberalism, and its current state. His analysis is aggressive, yet does not delve too deeply on any one specific misstep.
It could have been much, much more brutal. I suggest you read the entire thing here
If you lack the time, I've included his insightful conclusion:
Six years after the summer of hope and change, no one in the Democratic party is showcasing American foreign policy, pushing for cap-and-trade legislation, singing the praises of Obamacare, bragging about the way amnesty was handled, or pointing to a new cleaner and more transparent federal bureaucracy. What started out with “hope and change” and “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” ended up with a president who habitually misleads his countrymen, a baffling array of scandals, the discrediting of the obsequious media, and policies that not only did not work but by any historical model could never really have worked.
As proof, watch as Democrats regroup for 2016. Their unspoken commandment will be that most of what Obama did, they must either ignore or deny.
