I can easily explain my motives for elaborating on all the trepidations and misgivings of Barack Hussein Obama. For one, we might not continue to be an exceptional America going down this same road in the future, and, Obama’s scheme and agenda of “transforming America,” isn’t even close to working. We need a complete turnaround in selecting our next president going back to things that made this country great in the first place.
Has the failure of far left liberalism ever, in our history, shown, so very clearly, this is an ideology that does not work. For example: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics April 3, a record 93,175,000 Americans not working (that’s a 37-year low); record 12,202,000 blacks not in the labor force; record 56,131,000 women not working, and that’s just a small sample of records being set and an administration making history.
In my last two writings, in case you missed them, I mentioned the many ways in which our president is different than other presidents in the past. This column is a continuation of Obama’s extraordinary background and extraordinary governance.
I read where Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurological surgeon, and GOP African-American presidential hopeful, commented about “the ease with which Obama lies.” Our president routinely, at a record making pace, stretches the truth, but you wouldn’t know it, since liberal mainstream media doesn’t mention it. History books will not be kind to him on this score. Polls show there is an all time low by Americans about the trustworthiness of this government. How can anybody believe anything Obama says. Even Iran’s Ayatollah Khameni claimed Obama was lying about the framework for the nuclear treaty.
Another example: No other president would have the gall to announce on TV some 20 times for all to see and hear that no president has the constitutional authority to grant amnesty to illegals then deny ever saying as much, and worse yet, go ahead and unconstitutionally do it through executive authority. Other presidents did it based on a law. There is no law passed by congress in Obama’s case. Previous presidents exercised executive authority but not for the reason Obama does it. Our pres expects Hispanics to vote Democrat in elections and swing all elections toward Democrats.
Obama lied about the Affordable Care Act not paying for abortions.
The most powerful and feared U.S. government agency is the IRS. Can readers ever think of an agency under any other president that clearly set out to put the fear of death in conservatives, called targeting. That scenario, along with many other unethical ones, gave Obama a second term. .
In recent American history no other U.S. attorney general has been in the president’s pocket like Eric Holder. Nothing the president does is in any way a problem for our Department of Justice. There is absolutely no accountability – none. An Attorney General’s job is to ensure “all” branches of government function within the law. Not with Holder.
This administration is setting records for lack of transparency. The Associated Press recently stated “the government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it could not find documents, and refused a record number of times to turn over files that might be especially newsworthy. In nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law” Another word for this behavior is “stonewalling.” Holder’s Dept. of Justice looks the other way.
Never before, in recent history at least, has there been such anti American sentiment, even by Americans. The accusations of racism have runamuck along with cries, by liberals, of “white privilege.” Far too many no longer believe in “the American Dream.” Christians feel they are being discriminated against. The successful are criticized and the less successful coddled. Polls show the majority of Americans believe this country is on the wrong track.
As a counter argument, instead of name calling, I challenge liberals to show readers how this country is better off in a major way with Obama as president. Liberals will claim our economy is getting better, but it is not, and is setting records as the slowest recovery since World War II.
