In his piece yesterday at Human Events, Dennis Prager does about as good a job at concisely defining the presidency of Barack Obama as I've seen so far. He aptly points out that virtually nothing Barack Obama has done has left America or the world better since he became president. Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse. Unfortunately for America, and the world, there is one promise he has kept, and that is the one he made on October 30, 2008 - five days before the 2008 election, when he said that "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." He has indeed done that ... and it is entirely possible that we may never fully recover from the damage he's caused.

Prager writes:

[...] I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged by a president. So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America. The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.

Domestically, his policies have gravely impacted the American economy.

He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history.

He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion dollars in five years (this after calling his predecessor "unpatriotic" for adding nearly $5 trillion in eight years).

He has fashioned a country in which more Americans now receive government aid --means-tested, let alone non-means tested -- than work full-time.
