Democrats Need To Recognize That Obama Screwed Over The Working Class

Liberals see Obama as an economic savior who stopped a financial crisis, created scores of (crappy or part time) jobs, and did his best to fight for the little guy. That’s what the Left says. Stoller added that the evidence presents a different picture and one that offers a reason why Trump beat Hillary Clinton last November. For starters, Obama allowed the banks for foreclose on nearly 10 million homes, favored creditors over borrowers when both probably should have been shouldering the burden of the housing crisis together, and didn’t prosecute anyone who was involved in almost setting the world on fire. In short, Obama only accelerated the Left's fall with the middle class:

Sorry, the dnc is having a crisis of relevance right now. Please call back at a later time. The official response from the FORMER (p)resident: "Nuh uh!" With an emphasis on the "uh" part. The true believers will NEVER believe this to be true.

p.s. Uh, to have a crisis of relevance, wouldn't that require relevance to begin with? Just sayin'.

Democrats (the leadership) DO realize that truth. Screwing that population was the plan all along.

The answer is always “MORE SOCIALISM!”

Obama's attacks on the working class are many.

ITEM---From the blabbermouthing idiot Maxine Waters: “Well you know I don’t know and I think some people are missing something here. President Obama has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

==============================================

Obama is so corrupt---he cant fathom that gathering info on citizens is a despicable tactic of a totalitarian dictator---NOT DONE in a constitutional republic.

They’ll realize that as soon as pigs fly out of the butts of laser-equipped alligators.

They couldn’t prosecute anyone for the housing crisis. The biggest cheerleaders and benefactors were a “who’s who of the left” and the root cause of the crisis was the unspoken affirmative action lending spree that the left forced on banks. In order to facilitate it they ballooned the GSE’s so they got the profits and the taxpayers took the bath.

I wish it had been thoroughly investigated and people had been prosecuted. It is pretty clear to me that there were outright lies told by the liberals in charge about the solvency of the GSE’s and in return they got huge bonuses.

[AFreeBird]

BINGO!

[Liz]

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later. Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> The Iran-Nuclear Agreement, considered by many to be “The worst agreement in U.S. diplomatic history”… certainly an accomplishment that rates high on the list of ex-president Obama’s “successes”.

<><> $2 billion funding to half-brother Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare PR scam.

<><> the billions missing from the State Dept under Hillary.

==========================================

MASSIVE GOVT LOOTING---Remember "compassionate" Michelle talking about "teaching Muslim girls"? Obama sent Michelle off to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars "to teach Muslim girls." Recently, he gave her 100 million dollars to give Muslim Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" (to be held by, and doled out by, the Obama Foundation).

Can you say kickback?

Obama pledges $7 billion to upgrade power in Africa
CNN ^ | Updated 0044 GMT (0844 HKT) July 1, 2013 | By Faith Karimi and Matt Smith, CNN / FR Posted by vannrox

U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa.

Funds from the initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years. Obama made the announcement during his trip to South Africa, the continent's biggest economy.

"Access to electricity is fundamental to opportunity in this age. It's the light that children study by, the energy that allows an idea to be transformed into a real business. It's the lifeline for families to meet their most basic needs, and it's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," he said.

Two-thirds of the population of sub-Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, including more than 85% of those living in rural areas, the White House said. "A light where currently there is darkness -- the energy to lift people out of poverty -- that's what opportunity looks like," Obama told students at Cape Town University.

"So this is America's vision: a partnership with Africa for growth, and the potential for every citizen, not just a few at the top."

Obama was pushing for partnerships in energy as he concluded a three-nation trip to Africa. Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, third from right, joined Obama at the Symbion Power Plant at Ubungo.

Obamas invoke Mandela's legacy: The program includes $1.5 billion from the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation and $5 billion from the Export-Import Bank, the White House said. Sub-Saharan Africa will need more than $300 billion to achieve universal electricity access by 2030, it said.

The preliminary setup will include Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique. -- SNIP -- (Excerpt) Read more at edition.cnn.com ...

Anybody who thinks the 4 or 8 years of Trump are going to change the progressive agenda isn’t paying attention...

Of course the dems and Obama screwed over the middle class, there is no middle class in the revolution...

[Ciexyz]

To me, Obama’s biggest crime was not giving Social Security recipients and federal and postal retirees a COLA in their pension checks for three of the eight years of his miserable presidency. No president ever did that before. That was taking money from the middle class and spending it on illegal aliens and immigrants to flood the voting rolls, and giving expensive homes to HUD recipients, in one case in my area, a four hundred thousand dollar home that the new owner trashed and left uninhabitable. Stories you hear from business owners in the area who saw it happen to nice areas because Obama hated nice middle-class areas.

[volunbeer]

Not enough Americans recognize the dangers of wealth redistribution or that it is a centerpiece of the leftists agenda.

[Logical me]

When you really analyze it, King Obama was a communists black Muslim terrorists. He has nearly brought America to ruin in 8 years and much of the damage will take years to recover. That is only if we can get the Republican RINOs and GOPe the hell our of President Trumps Administration. Ryan is at the top of list.

So to be honest, it will be almost impossible in 8 years of President Trump trying to fix what King Obama destroyed.
