1. Unemployment over 8% since Obama took office despite trillions in bailouts and stimulus. Actual unemployment 14% counting underemployed, part-time employment and those who have simply stopped looking for a job. Obama’s unkept promise 5%. 23 million Americans unemployed—the most since the depression of the ‘30s.
2. National debt under Bush 5 trillion. National debt under Obama 16 trillion. That exceeds the combined debt of all the so-called bankrupt countries of Europe. It would be impossible to pay off this debt in our lifetimes, so we are passing a 16 trillion debt to our children and grandchildren courtesy of Obama. $136,000 for every American family.
3. Obamacare. The single most intrusive, most expensive and most reviled law ever passed. The worst parts not in effect until 2014 (how convenient). Doctors warn the cost of medical care will increase sharply while the quality of care declines precipitously. While concentrating all his effort on getting Obamacare passed the President totally ignores an economy in deep recession.
4. Obama becomes a dictator using “executive orders” to supersede laws passed (or not passed) by Congress (e.g. requiring churches opposed to birth control to pay for that coverage as a part of Obamacare). When Congress refuses to pass the “Dream Act” Obama uses “executive orders” to permit illegal aliens special status in the U.S.
5. Obama raids Medicare to the tune of 670 billion to finance his Obamacare.
6. Obama does have success in one area—he has succeeded in dividing this Country as it has never been divided. Haves versus have-nots, old versus young, White versus non-Whites, conservatives versus liberals, insureds versus non-insureds. Bitterness and antipathy are at a zenith under Obama’s mean-spirited leadership.
7. Failed bank bailout. Taxpayer money wasted—again.
8. Failed stimulus. Quoting a uniquely honest Obama administrator “We still don’t know where the money went.”
9. Obama refuses to enforce immigration laws, but he fights to keep Arizona and Texas from enforcing those same laws. (Remember the Latino vote could determine the outcome of the election, especially if Obama successfully eliminates the picture I.D. requirement—thus permitting illegals and dead people to vote—sometimes several times.)
10. “Obama transparency”—executive privilege claimed by Obama for “Fast and Furious”. A. G. Holder the first A.G. in history to be cited for Contempt of Congress for withholding thousands of documents on “Fast and Furious”.
11. Obama clamps down on private businesses costing thousands of private sector jobs while hiring 16,500 new I.R. S. “enforcers” to police Obamacare.
12. Iranian nukes. Obama sits on his hands while Iran builds nukes capable of reaching our troops in Afghanistan and in Europe. Obama turns his back on Israel when asked by them to help rid the mid-east of Iranian nukes.
13. Terrorists. Obama continues to treat them with kid gloves and tries to permit them to be tried in civil courts—something not even his Democratic allies approve of.
14. Energy. Obama succumbs to pressure from environmental extremists to virtually halt all coal and oil development in America although we have gigantic untapped natural resources. Obama refuses to O.K. the Keystone XL Pipeline which would bring oil from Canadian oil shale to the U.S. Tens of thousands of jobs are lost as a result. Not surprisingly, fall gasoline price is the highest in this nation’s history—quickly approaching $4/gallon.
15. Obama, the “food stamp President”, increases food stamps by 45% and uses another “executive order” to eliminate the work requirement for food stamp recipients. 45 million Americans on food stamps.
16. Obama refuses since his election to provide a budget as required by law and spends whatever he wants on whatever he wants.
17. Those receiving “entitlements” jumps from 6% in 1962 to 35% in 2012. This virtually assures that the vast majority of these recipients will vote Democrat to assure continuation of the “entitlements”.
18. Intelligence leaks. Obama’s Whitehouse staff leak national security secrets and Obama refuses to allow his staff to be interviewed by Congressional Investigators.
19. Joe “Big Mouth” Biden—a heartbeat from becoming President. Part of this frightening package.
20. Obama refuses to compromise on tax increases scheduled to begin in 2013—increases that will substantially raise taxes on middleclass Americans. C.B.O. estimates failure to extend these tax increases will raise unemployment to 9% and cost 2 million jobs.
21. While kissing the ring of a Saudi Prince Obama, declares that “America is not a Christian nation”. Obama and his family do not attend Christian worship services. Obama seems to have lost his zeal for the Christian religion since he left the fold of Rev. Jeremiah (God Damn America!) Wright—his last real pastor and confidant.
22. Obama begins his term by apologizing to Europeans for being “imperialists ” when in fact we saved the bacon of Europe from Nazi terrorism and Asia from Japanese dominance. Perhaps we could forgive Obama’s nescience (remember he wasn’t even born then), but he is obviously not a student of world history. America came out of WWII as the unquestioned superpower and savior of the World. Now insignificant countries thumb their noses at the U.S. and trash our embassies knowing it’s a “paper tiger” under Obama.
23. “You didn’t build it.” The now infamous quotation from Obama in a speech in which he deprecates private enterprise entrepreneurs and suggests the government can do everything better—the definition of socialism.
24. Afghan retreat. Obama labeled Iraq as “Bush’s War”. Afghanistan is definitely “Obama’s War”. Now unpopular, Obama is attempting to surrender to Al Qaeda and our troops are being killed by Afghan security forces trained by us. The Afgan war accomplished nothing and left us with many casualties—some with no limbs and many with traumatic brain damage.
25. “If I don’t get this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition.” (Barrack Obama, 2009) Let’s make his prophecy our hope and reality. America cannot survive another four years of Obama.
