Obama’s Staggering Record of Failure

"...It’s not simply that Mr. Obama has fallen short of what he promised; it’s that he has been, in so many respects, a failure.
Choose your metrics.
Better yet, choose Mr. Obama’s metrics:
Job creation.
Economic growth.
Improving our health-care system.
Reducing the debt.
Reducing poverty.
Reducing income inequality.
Slowing the rise of the oceans.
Healing the planet.
Repairing the world.
The Russian “reset.”
Peace in the Middle East.
Red lines in Syria.
Renewed focus on Afghanistan.
A new beginning with the Arab world.
Better relations with our allies.
Depolarizing our politics.
Putting an end to the type of politics that “breeds division and conflict and cynicism.”
Working with the other party.
Transparency.
No lobbyists working in his administration.
His commitment to seek public financing in the general election.
The list goes on and on.
For those who obviously haven't been paying to the real world because they're in a right-wing news bubble....For those who obviously haven't been paying attention to anything but the Left Wing media apologists for his adminsistration from Day One, here is a synopsis of his presidency up to the time of the writing of this article.
He did about as good a job as any President can do. In case you missed it:Job creation.
How many positive quarters have we had in a row?Economic growth.
How many millions of Americans now have health insurance after the ACA passed?Improving our health-care system.
lolReducing the debt.
Oddly enough, the best way to do these things is to increase taxes on the wealthy, improve safety nets for the poor, and increase minimum wages. I'm sure the Republicans in Congress were backing him 100% on those policies. Oh wait...Reducing poverty. Reducing income inequality.
Again, almost all such efforts are stymied by Republicans. Kudos!Slowing the rise of the oceans. Healing the planet. Repairing the world.
Yes, I'm sure Obama is telling Putin what to do. (Nor did any other President do a better job at dealing with Putin.)The Russian “reset.”
Uh huh. No matter what happened in that respect, he'd get bashed for it. If we stayed in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, it'd be an endless quagmire. If we send ground troops to Syria, he'd be a war-mongerer who got us into another quagmire. When we stayed out of Libya, it was decried as a disaster, by politicians who had no interest in sending US troops to Libya.Peace in the Middle East. Red lines in Syria. Renewed focus on Afghanistan.
lolDepolarizing our politics. Working with the other party.
He's definitely blown those. He also flubbed the foreclosure crisis, which is inexcusable. Financial services also aren't as well-regulated as they should be.Transparency. No lobbyists working in his administration. His commitment to seek public financing in the general election.
In My Personal OPINION> I do not think that is the right question of this president. It is a genuine and simple question. Has Obama been a "Great" US President?
BUT - I think that PEOPLE across the United states are in two CAMPS or Two Different OUTLOOKS.
the ANSWER to the question, Depends on what You Expect of Your surroundings. If You are Willingly morally or Physically Weak, Lazy, On Drugs, Looking for Freebies at every Corner of Your path.
THEN this Man has done a pretty Good jOB. If You are into Homosexuality or Party, party PARTY --- A 24 /7. Swinging, Sex Crazed Lifestyle. with no CONSEQUENCES !.......... get pregnant ? Then Just wait for 9 months - to see if the Father Hits the jACKPIT or Strikes it Ritch, Then *( IF there is no FREE OVER -Abundance Of Cash ) CASH, And Free Stuff and More Stuff. THEN - Just before the Precious and Beautiful - Little Feller is to just about be Born. Hack it to pieces, Suck its brains out or Acid-ify the Little Feller _( baby. )
Then Obama is the Man who makes the Rhythm and the Rhyme to Your heart beat. The Priest and Lord whom Commends and Confirms - ALL - of all Your fantasies AND Pleasures
Obama is a Living God To these People. Exulted and Highly glorified to the Ends of all Eternality. And Evermore.
the Obama Fans already know what they wanted in a president. They Saw Him from afar off. The answer to all of their desires.
The people who do not think that Obama is a Good president. Mostly do so, based on CORE Values of The USA and its constitution. And of the Principles of Morality of the Heart and Mind and Conscience of Right and Wrong. Hard Work, Sacrifice, Truth, Honesty, integrity and basic Humanity. and Love of Values that Stem from a Free and Self Governing, responsible, productive society.
I do not think that Obama is a president. You can call Him president Obama. But he is not a president. He is like a Puppet OF a Puppet OF a Puppet. OF a Puppet of a million more Puppets.
He is un reliable, Un trustworthy, Un able to take responsibility for His OWN WORDS. because he CAN EXPECT his Puppets Who control HIM, to Change the meaning and structure of each and every word that he Says. He is Just a tool of a tool of a tool of a tool.
Hius ONLY jOB - is to make sure that You come to understand, that You can Never EVER, EVER expect to Use the Tool. That He is. He is Great in worthless-ness. Superb in Eloquent, Elaborate, Dignified and un Bridled, Un Apologetic - Blissful - ignorance. And All who are of this Frame of mind. Work to Keep Him in power.
The Dumber and more ignorant they Pretend to be In an Un- Controllable Half Rage half Stumble. Deep, Hidden Knife, is buried in their soul. A Victims ACT or Play and a trance of - AN Eternal Parade of Helplessness and Limited / Let me Fall on Your Fresh bed/ let me Stumble Into your Doorway / let me Crash Upon your Supper Table / Let me Dig Deep into Your Pockets / Let me inside Your Private Life.
We are Obama. We Are in Charge and We should - RULE and Govern YOU. We are All Just as dumb as You/ I am Just as Dumb as You.
That is the Obama Supporter. I AM JUST as Ignorant as You. This is what they Feel that they should tell You. But they don't EVEN know that, that is EXACTLY - what That they are actually Thinking.
they Just make the Monkey Expressions, like a MUTE / Speechless , Lost Person. They Raid everything that they feel deserves to be Raided.. Everything that the RESPONSIBLE, Hard Working Person has Saved and Sacrificed for. THEY Deserve - All of it. they are to be REWARDED for Supporting such a Low Life wretched, Horrible, Miserable Creature, Such as Barak Obama.
/ And Obama Will surely Reimburse You, AND - When they Take it All. If They CAN......... They Shortly find themselves with nothing, And Are Left with Nothing but Others around them takin, from them - what they have taken from You.
they are NEARLY all most certainly on drugs and are Spiritually, Mentally and physically - addicted - to the Distain and Ruin and Decay of Every State of America.
The Obama withdrawals will never, NEVER - EVER Hit them . Because Obama was always in their Lives. Just in a different form., .
The boiling frog is an anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to threats that occur gradually...
This topic has been plowed more times than the Kardashians.
But to answer the question - No, Obama hasn't been a Great President.
I predict that the historians (Most of them are liberals.) will rank him somewhere in the middle of the pack.
OTOH, I believe that G.W. Bush will be ranked mighty close to the bottom. Not the worst, but down there in that territory.
Let's wait and see what the historians say about 30 years from now.
That would be a better time to have this discussion.
When all HIS chickens come home to roost his performance will be judged to have been FANTASTIC!
He will not only have done a good enough job of keeping America running to fool many of you into believing he is what he tries to appear to be, but that he did so while SIMULTANEOUSLY advancing his secret agenda to bring America to it's knees (Cloward-Piven) and also making good on his deals with the world's Jihadists to give them a boost towards global conquest by flooding America with Jihadists, and also making inroads with the Dems to deliver them our sovereignty with ACA...and not to mention his assuring Iran will become a nuclear threat!
And all of this will come to fruition AFTER he leaves office so he can say, 'didn't happen ion my watch!'
That will give him the highest ratings in the book of historical infamy and treason there could ever be.
There has never been anyone like him, ever.
God help us, I pray there never is again.
And then...
You're gone :roll:
And you've added nothing to the conversation.
:lol:
Come back when you have something to say.

A great leader, a great President, is one who by his very force of will and righteousness can inspire a country to follow him where he wants to lead them. Can anyone name one issue where President Obama has displayed such greatness?
