When I hear people say that former President Obama is responsible for the good economy we are experiencing, it reminds me of a statement he made about manufacturing jobs in America.
The former president said , some of those jobs of the past are just not gonna come back, and questioned Donald Trumps ability to do what he was promising, to bring back manufacturing jobs. Obama even went on to mockingly ask, What magic wand do you have?
And statements about the new reality, a scenario where America must accept a reduction in lifestyle, a downgrading of our economy and acceptance of our industry moving out of the country and taking good paying jobs with them to nations with much lower pay scales, where they manufacture products and sell them in the USA without penalty.
I dont think Barack Obama really wanted to see America be all it could be. I believe Obama saw America as a bully, as an expansionist nation forcing our will on the world at large, a repressive tyrant that needed to be brought down a notch or two and take its place in the New World Order, a placating, passive nation of repentant supplicants, forever apologizing for our greatness and paring it down by sharing it with the world.
I think the statements Obama made to describe those he so disagreed with and feared the ones about people clinging to their guns or religion and that America is no longer just a Christian nation most clearly define the disparity of his ideas about America.
Most all the people I associate with believe in Almighty God and own guns that they will never give up without a fight. And I dont know where President Obama got his stats, but America is still, by and large, a Christian nation.
I think what he meant was that the people who clung to their God and guns and practiced Christianity were standing in the way of the kind of future he envisioned for America, where the government controlled everything, setting itself up as some kind of pseudo-deity.
Christians will never accept government as their god and people with guns are willing to protect their stand against any government who would infringe on their beliefs.
Obamas third term, insofar as intent and policy, was to be carried on by Hillary Clinton.
But along came Donald Trump, a New York real estate developer and former television star brash, abrasive, pugnacious, plain-spoken, and afraid of no one who could trade punches with any politician or pundit, and who was willing to stand toe to toe with any detractor and insist that his concept of America was totally different from Obama, Clinton, et al.
He believed and made the disenfranchised believe that those jobs Obama declared gone forever could come back, that America could drill, frack and pump our way out of the clutches of oil producing countries in the Middle East who hate our guts.
He believed in the sanctity of life and stood against the wholesale abortion policies of Obama.
He was pro-gun, pro-Israel, embraced Christianity and told us that with the easing of regulations and some sane tax policy that the manufacturing jobs we had lost, or basically given away under Obama could be brought back on shore.
He told us that NAFTA was a bad deal for us and should be either renegotiated or abolished. He told us that China had for decades taken advantage of our lax trade policies and should be made to toe the line with tariffs if necessary.
He told us he wanted to Make America Great Again and that GDP numbers in the 2 percent range were totally unacceptable.
He told us we needed a wall to help stem the overwhelming flow of people and drugs across our borders.
He told us he would appoint Supreme Court justices who would level the playing field against the liberal onslaught of the Obama appointees.
And despite the biggest and most concentrated all-out war by Democrats, media and even some establishment members of his own party, using government agencies, false FISA court warrants, and a U.S. Senator who has turned his whole tenure into trying to impeach him, he has been able to deliver on most of what he promised.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

“...No one who assisted in the Kenyanesian Usurpation will be going to jail much less executed. Because BOTH parties cooperated in violating the Constitution....”
No disagreement with that...and I’ sure not holding my breath that any of these traitorous azzhats ever get arrested, tried, etc. but that is exactly what needs to happen.
GOPe = RAT = UniParty = Deep State = Communists
The whole bunch of em should be held accountable for the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
“The only good news, is how completely worthless the magic negro was.”
I disagree.
No president did more for our foreign and domestic enemies.
George P. Bush? Isn’t that Jeb’s little boy? Is he still trying to rise up in politics?
Thank you, that’s a classic by Charlie.
“But along came Donald Trump ...brash, abrasive, pugnacious, plain-spoken, and afraid of no one ...”
The way a real Republican SHOULD be.
He’s now the electivity standard to me.
“Since theyll never arrest, try or jail the first black POTUS,”
Obama is personally responsible for the invalidation of the race card. Let the title of first black potus revert to Bill Clinton, and hang Obama for treason.
Jaz, remember one of Obama’s 'brilliant' economic strategies: ‘CASH FOR CLUNKERS’? An economic insanity no different than ‘eating the seed corn’...Daniels 'gets it'... Glad he's with us.
Poignant.
Each time it’s heard the tears fall freely.
We were so Blessed!
George P. Bush got himself re-elected as Land Commissioner in Texas and has plans to be Gov.
Texans better get smarter, soon.
(He was born a Mexican national, his mother was not yet a US citizen and was still a Mexican national.)
I absolutely remember that, what a farce.
I’m glad he’s with us too.
Yes, Charlie is right! But I think he’s going a bit light on 0bama, to give him the benefit of the doubt as to his allegiance to the USA.
“No president did more for our foreign and domestic enemies.”
Oh, I agree completely! In very many ways, the Zero was dangerous to America!
But in terms brought out in the article, he was also worthless. America had pinned its hope on the healing salve of electing its first Black President. His presidency accomplished absolutely nothing for Blacks, or for ordinary working non-black Americans, either.
Then there was some “shovel ready jobs” program, that Biden was going to oversee and report on. I don’t recall ANYTHING having come out of that. I expect it was billions of dollars used to fund some union loyalties, and nothing more.
You're right NEMDF... AND none of the MSNBC moderators will ask any democrat about these issues for the 'debates' this week either...
Your post deserves a standing ovation.
You didn’t build that. I’m pretty sure that is the direct quote. It was in refernce to any business owner (If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that).
Yes, it was build.
