There are other Obama Administration disasters already established.

"but this is the first to rank as a disaster"

The capitulation to the Syrian Dictatorship, running away from Barack Obama's infamous "red line" was already an established disaster. Ceding all power and authority to Putin. It set the table for Barack Obama's appeasement of Iran, as it is clear this failed Presidency is weak and absolutely if afraid of more embarrassment - thus is enabling the worst. Benghazi as well ranks as a massive disaster, having inspired Al Qaeda and like minded militants with the most absurd incompetence.

The Democratic Party has continued the vast naive incompetence during the Clinton era which negligently handled the rise of dangerous terrorism and foolishly tried to appease the brutal North Korean dictatorship. The Clinton malfeasance enabled the most dangerous threats throughout the globe, many have paid dearly with this folly. It was no surprise Hillary Rodham's "smart power" would end in utter failure as well, with vivid lies peddled to hide the gross Benghazi catastrophe. And now the Carter denial returns to make things far worse again under the guise of the Obama Administration.
