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".
