From The American Prospect:
Barack Obama will be president for only two more months, and any judgment of his presidency will have to account for all he failed to accomplish. Consider this partial list of things Obama was supposed to do but never did:
This is an idea they have never let go of. You'll recall the primary debates, when Marco Rubio was mocked for repeating over and over, "Let's dispel with the notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing.

- Destroy America's image and influence in the world
- Dismantle our military
- Send us into a Greece-like debt spiral that would crash the economy
- Institute a government takeover of all health care
- Kill elderly and disabled people who had become a drain on the system
- Transition the U.S. to communism
- Outlaw Christianity
- Reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine then use it as a tool to silence conservative media
- Force gas prices up to $8 or $10 a gallon to make driving impossible
- Open the borders to a flood of undocumented immigrants
- Confiscate Americans' guns
- Throw dissenters into concentration camps
- Force whites to pay reparations to blacks in order to wreak vengeance for the sins of the past
- Declare martial law and cancel the 2016 election so he could stay in office
