Obama's Amazing effectiveness

So Obama gives clemency to Chelsea Manning, a treasonous WikiLeaks leaker, who was trying to damage our military, but that must be okay.
But if anyone leaks info about Hillary or Podesta, well that's a whole lot different, can't have that!
So it must depend on what the leaks were about.
He's left his media's heads spinning, how can they explain this? It kind of fun watching them try.

Which is it Obama your party, or your country?
Hardly a feather on the cap of your legacy, more like a bird turd.

Democrats in the Wilderness
Inside a decimated party’s not-so-certain revival strategy.
By Edward-Isaac Dovere
January 19, 2017

Standing with some 30,000 people in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia the night before the election watching Hillary Clinton speak, exhausted aides were already worrying about what would come next. They expected her to win, of course, but they knew President Clinton was going to get thrashed in the 2018 midterms—the races were tilted in Republicans’ favor, and that’s when they thought the backlash would really hit. Many assumed she’d be a one-term president. They figured she’d get a primary challenge. Some of them had already started gaming out names for who it would be.

“Last night I stood at your doorstep / Trying to figure out what went wrong,” Bruce Springsteen sang quietly to the crowd in what he called “a prayer for post-election.” “It’s gonna be a long walk home.”

What happened the next night shocked even the most pessimistic Democrats. But in another sense, it was the reckoning the party had been expecting for years. They were counting on a Clinton win to paper over a deeper rot they’ve been worrying about—and to buy them some time to start coming up with answers. In other words, it wasn’t just Donald Trump. Or the Russians. Or James Comey. Or all the problems with how Clinton and her aides ran the campaign. Win or lose, Democrats were facing an existential crisis in the years ahead—the result of years of complacency, ignoring the withering of the grass roots and the state parties, sitting by as Republicans racked up local win after local win.

Meanwhile, under Obama's approach, the Iraq army just took over most of Mosul--against the forces created when Bush's guy in Iraq de-Naathified the Iraq army. Some say he just didn't blow his horn enough.

No kidding!
Mosul should have never been taken over by ISIS in the first place (under Obama's watch), but that's what happens when you draw a red line with a cheap crayon instead of a solid permanent marker.
