In Spectre, the 25th James Bond film currently in theaters, Oscar-winning actor and villain Christopher Waltz snidely tells Agent 007 these words. While a bit of an overstatement, the point is well taken.
As the years unfold, I am persuaded that countless millions will identify words like these with the Obama presidency. Whether our next president can help dismantle some of what Barack Obama has done remains to be seen. Barring a spiritual awakening in America and the resulting returning to our conservative values led by a uniquely gifted commander-in-chief; the repercussions of Barack Obamaâs âtransformation of Americaâ will be catastrophic.
Itâs why seven years ago Rush Limbaugh said his desire for the Obama presidency was simple: âI hope he fails.â
Scripture tells us, âWhen the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sighâ (Prv 29:2 ASV). Plainly stated, people have cause to either rejoice or mourn dependent on whether their governing authorities are God-fearing or unrighteous.
When competent and godly leaders rule, they set a tone for the society as they conduct affairs according to Godâs standards. The result will not be utopia but rather a general happiness, prosperity and stability in the land. President Obama does not fit this category and that is a primary reason why there is so much mourning throughout our land.
I step back knowing I prayed for this man every single day of his terms in office yet must respectfully but forthrightly assess his âfruitâ as disastrous. What he has done has been unbelievably detrimental to the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our nation was founded. Are you aware of how far weâve fallen under his leadership and lack thereof?
Five Major Areas of Decline
1. The Military
Besides what has been called the âgayificationâ of our Armed Forces, weâve seen the undermining of religious expression among our military chaplains and officers. Lieutenant General (retired) William Boykin put it best, âIf chaplains and other personnel are censored from offering the full solace of the gospel, there is no religious freedom in the military.â
There have also been massive reductions in military personnel, leaving us dangerously vulnerable in the event of a crisis, plus military frustration at the highest level in decades. âThereâs a level of dissatisfaction among the uniformed military that Iâve never seen in my time hereâ said John McCain, Senate Armed Services Chairman.
For this I mourn.
2. Marriage and Family
President Obamaâs aggressive advocacy of the LGBTQ agenda has brought devastation to the traditional family. He endorsed gay marriage; violated young girls by forcing school districts to allow boys who identify as girls to have full access to the girlâs locker room and showers; undermined the Defense of Marriage Act; celebrated the LGBTQ lifestyle by affirming people âcoming outâ and appointing unprecedented numbers of LGBTQ proponents to government positions; and, now endorses efforts to ban âconversion therapyâ counseling for youth struggling with gay and transgender confusion.
President Obama has worked aggressively to transform marriage, sexuality and our children into considering participation in the LGBTQ lifestyle as a normal, healthy sign of liberation! His official White House website touts efforts to stop counseling young people struggling with same-sex attraction and transgenderism as âprotecting Americaâs youth.â
For this I mourn.
3. Radical Islam and Terrorism
President Obamaâs timid approach to dealing with the menace of ISIS and other radical, Islamic jihadists is unbelievably reckless. Believing that we can somehow diminish their strength and effectively defeat these barbarians by ignoring them or downplaying their threat, strains credulity. Their growing threat coupled with the Iranian ânuclear dealâ is bringing us to an apocalypse.
The latest terror warning in Sinai with 224 passengers killed in the âdowningâ of a Russian plane caused the Wall Street Journal to bluntly state in a lead editorial, âThe greatest folly of the administrationâs Mideast policy has been to imagine that an armsâlength approach to the regionâs troubles would keep its problems away from us. But as with the refugee crisis in Europe, or ISIS inspired jihadist attacks in the US, the tragedy in Sinai is another reminder that trying to downplay the threat of terrorism only brings its risks closer to home.â
For this I also mourn.
4. The Economy and National Debt
Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff, Professor of Economics at Boston University tried to wake up our leaders in testimony before the U.S. Senate. He stated emphatically that âAmericas fiscal insolvency and itâs generational consequences means our country is broke. Itâs not broke in 75 years or 50 years or 25 years or 10 years. Itâs broke today. Indeed, it may well be in worse shape (currently almost $19 trillion in debt) than any developed country, including Greece.â
Yet our president keeps spending, raising the debt limit, promising entitlements, all the while adding almost as much debt as all previous American presidents combined. And donât forget he conveys how our economy is booming while conveniently ignoring over 90 million people not in the workforce; 50 million on food stamps; Obamacare premiums skyrocketing; and, the inevitable day of economic reckoning drawing near. âTime is running out. Get ready for a roller coaster ride through hell!â warns economic forecaster Larry Edelson.
Forbes magazine helps us comprehend this staggering amount, which is leading us to the inevitable economic crash: âIn 2015, Taylor Swift did 55 concerts and earned $80 million. She would have to perform 365 concerts a year for three years to simply pay for ONE DAY OF INTEREST accrued on our debt.â Get the message?
For this I likewise mourn.
5. Illegal Immigration and Prisoner Release
President Obama refuses to enforce laws concerning the massive influx of illegal immigrants into our country, knowing these are grateful, potential Democratic voters! The majority is Hispanic but there are Muslims as well. Europe is being overrun by the immigrant crisis and what is happening there will be our lot in 10 years unless new leadership acts swiftly, legally and compassionately.
Have you noticed some signs of the times? Hamtramck Michigan City Council now has a Muslim majority. Washington, D.C. joins other locales in giving driverâs licenses to illegal immigrants.
Our president also believes in leniency and amnesty for drug felons. Almost 50% of the inmates in federal penitentiaries serving time for drug offenses are now having their sentences automatically reduced. âThese are young people who made mistakes that arenât that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made,â the president told journalists recently at a federal prison in Oklahoma.
The reality is 75% of these individuals are violent criminals. Their âmistakesâ consist not merely of smoking a casual joint but distribution of hard drugs, often involving gangs and weaponry. Their felony convictions resulted in many of the 44,000 who die from drug overdoses each year. Consider also the scores of young people getting addicted, families being destroyed and children now executed in drug gang wars like the nine-year-old boy a week ago.
Are these harmless, victimless crimes and simply minor âmistakes?â Or is this an example of misguided âmercyâ that likewise brings in new Democratic voters? Read âObamaâs Tragic Let âem Out Fantasyâ (WSJ 10/25/15) to learn more.
Yes, for this I also mourn.
Hereâs the Deal: In 2009, President Obama declared these words regarding his Obamacare victory, âElections have consequences. And at the end of the day, I won!â
It would do us well to remember that in the 2012 presidential election, Obama beat Romney by 5 million votes. Over 17 million evangelical Christians stayed home and did not vote. Is voting important?
For the past seven years we learned the hard way that President Obama was serious about his pledge to âfundamentally transform America.â I believe without question that his lack of character and questionable commitment to his professed Christian faith have wreaked havoc on the moral landscape of the United States of America. May we redouble our efforts in prayer, fasting and civic engagement to see competent, godly leaders raised up so mourning may be silenced and some rejoicing begins afresh in our land!
He fearlessly stepped in and flapped his big mouth every time a police-race incident occurred, regardless of how small, in order to whip negro citizens into a lathered-up frenzy. They used these incidents to do bodily harm to white citizens, to fill their larders and to fill their homes with other people's stuff. In short, they appeared rather like the typical gangs in Africa.
Well, he has stated that he hopes to be another Mandella, so he’s right on track for that!
I could think of several destructive things Republicans have done or left undone to hurt America as well.
Yeah, but what an a88hole he is for comparing the USA to Apartheid South Africa.
Why stop at just five?
The internal conflict in this guy must be off the charts being half-white and all. ;)
No, there isn’t any conflict. Obama’s White half was Communist, and so both halves hate real Americans.
I got saved while in the Army in Honduras over thirty years ago. Fortunately it had noting to do with a Chaplin or military policy on Christianity.

While I acknowledge that obama has been the worst president in history, it's the GOP Congress that keeps raising the debt limit. The gutless, complicit, criminally corrupt GOP Congress!
#1 is the overall destruction of the image of our country. Nobody respects nor fears us anymore.We used to be better than every one else and every one else knew it. Barry has made sure that we are no better than Ethiopia in the eyes of the world.

80 Illegalities of the Obama Administration

I’m surprised your excellent point isn’t mentioned in the original. Macro and micro, relations between blacks and whites are WORSE than when he took office, mostly having to do with him PERSONALLY supporting a victicrat society. His attitude does more harm to BLACKS than to anyone else. Maybe he’s sticking it to them because he can’t forgive his sperm donor for not giving a poop about him.
