With less than a year remaining in his term, those who still support President Obama are trying to put a positive spin on his time in office. This New York Times article yesterday initiated a “Proud of Obama’s Presidency” trend.
Black Americans say they are counting down the last months of Obama's term with pride, sadness and a looming despair https://t.co/3flf5ZIAXj

There’s one major problem for them: Obama’s record.
If you're "Proud of Obama's Presidency" you haven't been paying attention these last eight years…

Here are some actual sentiments from Obama fans:
Also Proud of Obama's Presidency because he was about policy, not drama; courage, not fear; strength, not bullying; kindness, not hate.

Obama drama? Never. Bullying? Please.

And all this time we thought the bin Laden raid was carried out by our brave Navy SEALs.
Proud of Obama's Presidency. Republican smears don't change facts.

Now that’s actually one legacy Obama will leave: Accusing Republicans of being behind everything, including his failed policies.
There are many good things about his administration, but I'm most proud of Obama's presidency for bringing thinking back. @BarackObama

Wow. Here is a reality check:
Anyone who is Proud of Obama's Presidency needs to compare black unemployment figures before he took office to today's figures.

Anyone that says they're proud of Obama's presidency is lying. They don't want to admit that they voted for the worst president since WWII.

There are over 90 million Americans unemployed and you're proud of Obama's Presidency? That's failure. https://t.co/ZK2eoJdBH6

I am proud of Obama's Presidency: drone killings, free trade agreements, domestic spying, bailouts. So much to expand upon.

Yeah i'm Proud of Obama's Presidency because he killed our debt, unemployment went skyrocket, played golf more than worked.

Who's proud of Obama's presidency? Iran, Assad, illegals, Hamas, ISIS, cop shooters.

Pretty much sums it up. His presidency has failed working Americans and emboldened the enemies of this country. But hey, he is probably getting pretty good at sinking a 10-foot putt.
