“The greatest disaster of all was after all the difficulties and loss of life and expenditures, President [Barak] Obama walked away, in 2011, and it is a disaster.

This may be fine for some mathematical problems where there is in fact only one right answer. The difficulty is that most of life isn’t this way.
