Obama, the Worst President Ever, Except Maybe for Hillary
Townhall.com ^ | August 18, 2016 | David Limbaugh

Posted on 08/19/2016 5:59:58 AM PDT by Kaslin

It's one thing for "Never Trump" Republicans to criticize Donald Trump, but Democrats, the liberal media and pedestal-perched professors who have enabled President Obama and now support Hillary Clinton have no standing to do so.

President Obama set out to fundamentally transform America (read: systematically destroy America as founded). Measured in terms of accomplishing this goal, Obama has been one of the most successful presidents in history. Measured in terms of doing what is best for America, Obama undeniably ranks among the worst.

Obama's progressive defenders whitewash his record, but it is objectively horrible -- unless you either are in a fantasy world or truly consider America's comeuppance and its economic, military and cultural decline glorious developments.

With just a little more time -- darn that 22nd Amendment -- Obama could hammer those last few nails in the nation's coffin, but not to worry; he is backing a successor who promises to double down on his mischief, and he will be covering her flank as a civilian community organizer writ large -- agitating in the private sector on the national stage. What a duo!

Liberals scoff at our supposed sensationalism in depicting Obama's record, but they are the ones in fantasyland -- not us. Their judgment is so skewed that they wouldn't recognize a disastrous, perennially sluggish economy if it hit them in the face -- because it has. They wouldn't see it if Islamists were waging war on the United States, because they are and they don't. They wouldn't be alarmed if the Constitution and rule of law were under ongoing assault, because they are and they aren't. They don't care that the nuclear family is in peril, because they favor diluting traditional and gender distinctions. And they wouldn't care if the federal government were deliberately fostering dependency addiction among its citizenry and demonizing work, the work ethic, productivity and business, because it is and they enable it.

President Obama couldn't be more of a menace to this nation's interests if he were trying to be -- and thus, coupled with his stated intentions, it is reasonable to assume he is and irresponsible to downplay the suspicion.

I jampacked two long, well-documented books chronicling Obama's reign of terror, and he was just getting started. There is easily enough material for two more equally comprehensive books.

In fact, Obama has done so much that I fear the electorate will tend to forget the extent of it. When I occasionally go back and review it, I realize that half of it has disappeared from my active memory. But revisiting it is enough to make your blood boil -- and more than enough to make you understand that Hillary Clinton, the personification of Obama's third term on steroids and independently terrible in her own right, must be defeated at all costs.

In every subcategory of domestic and foreign policy, Obama has damaged America. He has turned everything upside down. Wrong is right. Bad is good. Strength is weakness. Culturally sound is culturally taboo. Economic decline is economic growth. Deliberately exploding the national debt is reducing the deficit. Destroying health care, qualitatively and quantitatively -- and as a matter of cost and choice -- is progress. Demonizing victims of terrorism and excusing terrorists is enlightened. Opening our borders to those with hostile intent toward Americans and America is compassion. Releasing coldblooded terrorist killers helps show the world how wonderful we are. Facilitating the world's evilest regime's acquiring nuclear weapons and capital to fund terrorism is a triumph of diplomacy and world peace. Fostering a war on law enforcement is an achievement for justice.

Flouting the Constitution and the rule of law shows executive leadership. Implementing provisions of the DREAM Act that Congress not only didn't approve but explicitly rejected is humanitarianism. Intervening in Libya in defiance of Congress is laudable leadership. Repeatedly apologizing for America here and on foreign soil is commendable. Smothering the economy with taxes, spending, regulation and debt and punishing small business are prudent economic policies. Presiding over the worst recovery in 70 years is sagaciously steering America out of a dire economic crisis. Perpetual malaise is a strong economic record. Impeding entitlement reform -- and thereby guaranteeing the bankruptcy of Social Security, Medicare and the United States -- is saving Social Security.

Regarding climate change as a greater threat than terrorism is sane thinking. Selectively compromising the First Amendment and gratuitously attacking the Second Amendment for the good of the cause are admirably nuanced. Squandering billions of dollars on environmental boondoggles proves good intentions. Undermining our military readiness and managing our national decline atones for our alleged misdeeds. IRS targeting of political enemies is just business as usual. Politicizing the Justice Department is social justice. Dismissing proven charges against the New Black Panther Party is racial justice. Converting NASA for Muslim outreach beats getting a man on Mars. Waging war on religious liberty releases us from the clutches of those crazy Christians. Dividing Americans on the basis of race, gender, religion and income is uniting America.

As tired as I am of the left's Machiavellian euphemisms, I could go on for hours. But please understand: Everything Obama has done is fairly and necessarily imputable to Clinton because she participated in and ratified his policies and actions and promises to do worse. In a number of areas, she already has done worse.

On top of all this, Clinton is the most opportunistically ambitious, double-dealing, corrupt fraud in the modern era.

My fear is that some, by obsessing over Trump, are overlooking just how monumentally horrible Hillary Clinton would be as president. We can't let that happen.

As this Olympics has shown, everyone who comes along wants to set a record.

If/when hillary’s in the White House, she’ll make obama look like a pillar of virtue and a genius.

In many respects Obama was lazy and distracted. He could have done even more damage to the country had he been more focused and disciplined.

The risk with Hillary is that the Clinton Machine is probably more effective and systematic in achieving its nefarious objectives. That really worries me.

I lived through the Jimmy Carter presidency. We all thought he was bad, 18% interest for a house, killer rabbit attack, wearing a sweater in the White House and general malaise in the country. Well Carter looks like a regular Reagan when compared to Obama. It’s totally correct that Obama is the worst president in the history of America and it’s not a very big leap to think he could also be the last president of America.

No, David, it is NOT "It's one thing for "Never Trump" Republicans to criticize Donald Trump

because they may as well be campaigning for Hillary (some are openly).

The people, misguided as they may be in the Never Trump crowd's minds, have picked their nominee and just as we were expected to vote for the last five republicans that the establishment selected for us, a vote for anyone other than Trump in November is a vote for Hillary to continue Obama's evil agenda.

There was a 19th century President responsible for killing 600,000 Americans who is a league of his own.

David worries that some much damage has bee done that many American will not remember a lot of it. The problem is many Americans know and applaud it; many are totally unaware and vote for Democrats because their parents, grandparents and great grandparents did so. It is clear they confuse the Democrat party with their religious faith.

May God preserve us and shine upon us in November. I will add to this - when I tell my friends that I am praying that God will help the best candidate win [and prevent Hillary from winning], all in my prayer group say the same thing.

This is why Obammie is pimping so hard for Clintoon and desperately wants her to win. He’ll move up from the bottom and Clintoon will take that last place spot. Jimmah Cahtah will be third from the bottom.

Barry only became president because the democrats hated Hillary. They still hate her but just couldn’t embrace an old white commie the way they did a young black one.

Clinton should not be measured by, or compared to carter or zero, in terms of worst.

She is in a stand alone category, as yet undefined, relative to past presidents or presidential aspirants.

Treacherous, deceitful, treasonous, vindictive ,murderous psychological train wreck of human garbage is in a class by herself.

I think it’ll be a tie between them for last if she gets in there.

It’s one thing for “Never Trump” Republicans to criticize Donald Trump,
***************************

David Limbaugh was one of them, sounds like he is starting to come around.
He really needs to talk to the rest of them.
The NeverTrumpers are really trying to elect Hillary to preserve 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws and borders.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
They are not about to allow the citizens to keep the rule of law or their country.
The most important thing to the establishment is blocking the citizens from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.
