Barack Obama, the President, is delivering his final speeches reflecting on the achievements of his eight-year tenure.
Observing his awkward speech, punctuated by lengthy pauses, feels akin to witnessing an actor perform a soliloquy…before making their exit.
He articulates well but fails to clarify the subject matter he discusses.
He boasts about significant successes, particularly in combating terrorism. However, terrorism appears to be more pervasive in numerous countries today than it was when he assumed presidency.
He bears a striking resemblance to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair always articulated what the public wished to hear, irrespective of the actual global circumstances.
Tony was a kind individual who was persuaded to partake in the Iraq war—a miscalculation that President Barack Obama wisely avoided.
Throughout his eight years, he has managed to steer clear of major blunders and diligently sought to avert conflicts. He can be considered a successful, albeit not particularly charismatic, leader.
He has balanced the interests of military advocates while fostering positive relationships with the majority of nations across the globe.
With the benefit of hindsight, we will review his presidency and conclude that he performed admirably.
And following Trump’s tenure, we will recognize Barack Obama as the standout president.
