Obama's Legacy - Lost Opportunities

WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND FAIL TO USE IT, WELL, IT'S LIKE NEVER HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY IN THE FIRST PLACE. OBAMA'S LEGACY OF LOST OPPORTUNITIES DEFINES HIS PRESIDENCY. WHAT IF O'BAMA ADDRESSED BLACK AMERICA AND ADDRESSED BLACK CRIMINALITY AND BLACK GUN VIOLENCE? WHAT IF O'BAMA CARVED OUT A NEW PATH FOR BLACK AMERICA TO FOLLOW INSTEAD OF THE SAME TIRED PATH OF DEPENDENCY ON THE WELFARE STATE AND GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS? WHAT IF O'BAMA HAD BECOME A REAL CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER INSTEAD OF A CHEAP RACE BAITING POLITICIAN? WHAT IF O'BAMA HAD ACTUALLY CLOSED DOWN GITMO AND CEASED ALL MILITARY ACTION IN AFGHANISTAN? WHAT IF O'BAMA HAD WAVED OFF BORROWING TRILLIONS AND ACTUALLY SHRUNK THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF MASSIVELY EXPANDING IT? WHAT IF O'BAMA HAD LIVE UP TO HIS YOUTHFUL IDEALS AND HIS SPARKLING RHETORIC AND REIGNED IN THE NSA AND THE CIA AND TOLD THEM TO UPHOLD THE US CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS?

AN OPPORTUNITY SQUANDERED IS LIKE NEVER HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN WITH. LOST OPPORTUNITY DEFINES O'BAMA AND HIS YEARS IN OFFICE. HE'LL BE FOREVER SECOND GUESSING HIMSELF IN THE YEARS AFTER HE LEAVES ASKING HIMSELF, "IF ONLY, AND WHAT IF". IT'S TOO BAD BARRY, YOU HAD POTENTIAL.
