    One thing about Barack Obama, he's a confident guy. He makes me look
    shy. Yesterday in Greece he told the world that he did a heck of a
    job as president.

    (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

    OBAMA: People seem to think I did a pretty good job. And so there is
    this mismatch between frustration and anger, perhaps the view of the
    American people was is that just need to shake things up. I think I
    can make a pretty strong argument with the politics we put forward
    were the right ones, that we've grown faster than just about any
    advanced economy, and the country is indisputably better off.

    (END VIDEO CLIP)

    O'REILLY: Now Mr. Obama really believes what he says. In his mind he
    kicked serious butt as president and he has backup. The latest
    Gallup poll has President's job approval rating at 57 percent. Very
    strong number. However some of his support is surely based on
    personal likeability. But to be fair, he does deserve some policy
    credit for stabilizing the economy after the mortgage backed
    security fraud almost collapsed. Also for helping Americans with
    severe health problems so-called preexisting conditions.


    And for conducting himself with class in the White House as a recent
    meeting with Donald Trump demonstrated. But there is some very
    important things President Obama did not do in eight years things I
    hope President- Elect Trump will consider. First, targeted tax cut
    for businesses. While at the same time phasing out deductions that
    drain tax receives to the government. Mr. Trump is an expert at that
    and he will understand that in order to rebuild the military and
    roads, bridges, et cetera, you need cash.

    Also persuading corporations to bring the profits they are hoarding
    overseas back to invest in America would be a huge economic
    stimulator that would expand the economy and create well-paying
    jobs. If corporations would commit billions to expansion, the
    financial markets will go wild. And the USA would take on tremendous
    economic momentum. To be polite, President Obama does not understand macro-economics and generally sees a private business as an opponent
    of social justice.

    Now, on the individual tax front surely a fair percentage can be
    worked out with the goal being to allow American consumers to have
    more net income, more money in their pockets, another major economic stimulator. Barack Obama's philosophy is to give folks stuff rather
    than setting up a robust private marketplace so they can earn their
    stuff. Overseas, the Obama doctrine of containment through diplomacy
    has not worked and the pain has been immense. Millions of refugees
    are flooded into Europe, some of them terrorists.

    The suffering of poor people in Syria and Iraq is cruel, cruel, all
    because Barack Obama does not act aggressively against the Jihad.
    Talking Points has put forth a solution. NATO should formally
    declare war on Islamic terrorists, set up safe zones for refugees
    throughout the Middle East and punish ISIS in any way it can. Barack
    Obama would never ever think of doing that. Way too confrontational.

    Finally, President-Elect Trump should accept the Paris treaty on
    climate to buy some good will overseas. It doesn't really amount to
    much anyway, let it go. Mr. Trump should also learn from Mr. Obama's
    mistakes. Most Americans want a robust economy and a vibrant
    national defense including border protection. Donald Trump can make
    those two things happen, he will succeed in the toughest job in the
    world.

    And that's "The Memo".

    did to America.
