Excerpt:
While the Clint Eastwood shtick at the Republican National Convention wasn’t very popular, in retrospect it is perfectly apparent that the legendary actor hit the nail right on the head. President Obama is a disastrous President, an empty chair, who is harming American interests immensely.
As Obama’s second cousin, Dr. Milton Wolf said, “Barack Obama is the worst president in our lifetimes, If not in our history. He has been a disaster. It’s mostly because he either doesn’t understand or has forgotten what America is all about. The American idea itself is about individual liberty, limited government and free-market values.”
Sadly, for so many reasons this President will go down in history as one of the worst:
Obama has created a system whereby people who believe in self-reliance, economic freedom and the like are to be combated. The “You Didn’t Build That” campaign rhetoric has filtered down into political policies nationwide – and is something that will harm America for many years to come.
The reality is that there are one million less Americans working today than when Obama took office – and it is likely to get much worse. Is that what he meant when he said “Yes, we can?”
No one has been caught for the lynching of the American Ambassador in Benghazi, and the entire Middle East is in a shambles thanks to this President who claimed to have a unique understanding of the region. From Egypt, where America helped unseat a pro-West President Mubarak, to Syria, where every single “red line” was crossed, American interests are in a much worst place than when Obama took office. Shameful.
No one has been held accountable for the misuse of IRS power against political enemies by the government. This is a complete misuse of political power and a shame on American rules and processes. Imagine if a Republican had done this? He would have been impeached.
Obamacare – which has failed miserably – cost Americans more than $1 billion according to Bloomberg News. If there are 319 million Americans, couldn’t they simply give each of us $3 million dollars to take care of ourselves? Obamacare has increased the amount of uninsured Americans and is socialized medicine. And those who remain insured have seen worse service, and heavily increased health insurance premiums.
The Obama “Yes, We Can” has not created new jobs, and median family income continues to decrease. There’s an all time record high of 48.1 million food stamp recipients – up 80% over the past 5 years.
Taxes continue to rise, Obama promised America in 2009 that if his nearly $1 trillion “stimulus” spending was enacted, it would bring down unemployment to 5%. That hasn’t happened – yet taxes keep rising and rising and rising.
Obama has been President for eight years, the recovery still doesn’t exist and he keeps blaming the Republicans. During his State of the State of the Union address, he said, “The cold hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by.” Six years he has been President — and still can’t make anything happen? He keeps making excuses and has not performed.
American allies have learned that they cannot trust America, and those hostile to America have no fear of the hot-air Obama Administration. Unfortunately, much worse than an empty chair, President Obama’s failures have inflicted great and durable harm on the United States.
