Obama's Legacy of Division and Debt

Obama's Legacy of Division and Debt| National Review Online:
Here and abroad, the Obama administration damages whatever it touches.
The next president and Congress will inherit what President Obama left behind.
Whether Democrat or Republican, the president will have no choice other than to try to undo much of what Obama has wrought. 
But can he or she?
...The press for the last seven years has largely chosen to become a Ministry of Truth.
One reason why Donald Trump soars is that, after the press’s canonization of Obama, the public relishes Trump’s contempt for the media — and the latter have now lost the moral credibility to critique any candidate on the grounds of dishonesty, hypocrisy, narcissism, mendacity, or polarization of the electorate.
The tragic mess of 2009–2016 is ending, and soon the cleanup will begin — accompanied by stupefaction as to just how much will have to be thrown away.
