CNN aired a special highlighting 

President Obama’s legacy on 

Wednesday. As expected, the 

network offered a glowing review

 of his two terms, while praising

 him for being able to overcome those racist Republicans in 

Congress.

You probably could have guessed how it was going to go judging

 by the host, former Obama adviser Fareed Zakaria, who once

 called Donald Trump a cancer on democracy. On Wednesday 

night's report, Zakaria explained how the president faced unfair

 pushback as soon as he was elected.

“Within half a mile of where Obama and Michelle are dancing and 

celebrating their great victory, his Republican opponents are wining

 and dining and plotting his defeat,” he said, eerily.

He used two other liberals' opinions to support his claim.

DAVID AXELROD: It's indisputable that there was a ferocity

to the opposition and a lack of respect to him that was a

function of race.

VAN JONES: I can't name one thing that this congress

supported this president on in eight years. You have to

have an extraordinary explanation for this level of obstruction.

Later in the two-hour program, Zakaria suggested that the fight over

 Obamacare was also rooted in racism.

The host wouldn’t dare say this, but most Republicans did not

 oppose Obama’s policies because of the color of his skin. They

 fought against them because they were counter to a freedom-loving, conservative agenda.

I’m left to wonder, where was the legacy special for President

 George W. Bush? You would be hard pressed to hear the media

 talk about his successes or defend him from his Democratic 

dissenters. Apparently that opposition was completely justifiable.
