To begin with, in January 2009 Barack Obama Presidency swearing in ceremony, the gala event on global view turned into a major embarrassment with the pledge of allegiance by then President-elect Barack Hussein Obama were muddied and malarkey while repeating the solemn oath on camera presided by the United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. in the nation’s capital – Washington D.C.

As a result, the swearing-in after proper rehearsal was privately conducted at the White House a day or two later with merely the presence of the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G.Roberts Jr. and then President – select Barack Hussein Obama.

The beginning itself was stumbling and did not commence smoothly on the day of the swearing-in protocol which was quite telling in more than one way as celestial warning. 

Then onwards commenced the harrowing experience under the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. They were not only endured in ominous Obamacare continued till date, the carnage and catastrophe inflicted on billions of population from violent interventions worldwide were not ordinary in magnitude.

The victims of violent warfare, carpet bombing in Libya, cannibalism sponsored by the administration against children, women, youth and elderly in Syria, drone attacks deriving sadistic thrills in a manner as video game simulation rejoicing the sight of children, women, physically challenged and senior citizens fleeing for their life from humble dwellings in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Colombia and other destinations in South America etc., are not characteristics of human trait.

Importantly, the Presidency of Barack Obama failures in domestic mid-term elections and international affairs as well as sports events exemplified false magnification of self-image proven otherwise in outcome.

The 2010 mid-term election for Democratic Party under Barack Obama leadership and Presidency suffered severe setback with the party losing the House, Senate and losses in Gubernatorial race.

The Democratic Party had repeat episodes in 2012, 2014 and 2016 with then democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton losing to the Republican contender Donald Trump and thereafter the Presidency of Donald Trump subject to contentious legal and political bias with no end in sight.

The political vendetta anchored on 2016 Presidential defeat remain incessant evidenced in latest developments.

Internationally, among many unsuccessful endeavors involving the Presidency of Barack Obama, the prominent one is BREXIT. The former President Barack Obama could not prevail in persuading Britains to oppose BREXIT in the national referendum despite the former’s personal trip to London to campaign on the matter.

On other international event related to sports – the Summer Olympics venue selection, the personal visit of President Barack Obama and Michele Obama together submitting the choice to host the event in their native city Chicago, Illinois did not come into fruition.

The Obamas lost their bid for Chicago Olympics to Brazilians hosting the event in Rio de Janeiro in August 2016.

The disappointment and anger was visibly expressed on global lens projected at the Obamas not reciprocating cordially to the winner Brazil represented by then Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on the international stage.

Subsequently, the Trump Presidency bidding on the same event i.e. Summer Olympics was won with Los Angeles to host the international game officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad and commonly known as Los Angeles 2028 or LA28 scheduled in July 2028.

Actions with positive delivery matter and define attribute or the lack thereof.
