Book claims to reveal 'the worst president in history'
AOL News ^ | September 25, 2016 | AOL.COM EDITORS

Posted on 09/26/2016 8:14:02 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

As the United States gears up to choose the 45th U.S. president, a new book claims the worst president to serve in American history was Barack Obama.

Authors Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan claim to present 200 reasons why Obama is the worst commander in chief in history, offering readers a way to "easily find all the information that was ignored by the media and that Barack Obama would like you to forget."

A few questions the book is said to answer are: "The Worst President in History" are Did Barack Obama really save this country from another Great Depression? Did he really improve our country's image around the world, or unite America? What about the new era of post-partisanship and government transparency? Did he really expand health coverage while lowering costs and cutting taxes?

AOL can’t bring itself to write an unbiased review. Sad.

There was a recent biography of George W. Bush which claimed that he was the worst President in history, and that the decision to invade Iraq was the worst foreign-policy decision ever made by a President.

I can easily think of several worse foreign policy decisions...all made by Democrat Presidents.

Barack Obama was never eligible to be President.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

I am sure it is a decent enough book, but I already knew Odumbo was the worst president in history.

give us 40-50 years of perspective, and no doubt by 2060, it will be Obama.

Massive debt, purposeful, organized and politically motived racial strife, harmful domestic policies. Hell, we might even learn something real about his background, just like all the BS surrounding JFK is now falling apart.

The review states that the authors “claim to provide 200 reasons...”. Is the number in dispute? Did they actually provide fewer than claimed? Is AOL staffed by idiots that can’t write?

I agree. We've lived through 8 years of progressive hell. Why rub more salt into the wound, by dwelling on this Klown extraordinaire? We all know what's on Nachum's list.

The resurrection of ISIS is the worst US Foreign policy disaster in modern history. I struggle to think of one worse. Obama/Clinton pulled out of Iraq when we had ISIS on the verge of extermination.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant

According to a study compiled by United States intelligence agencies in early 2007, the ISI planned to seize power in the central and western areas of Iraq and turn it into a Sunni caliphate.[102] The group built in strength and at its height enjoyed a significant presence in the Iraqi governorates of Al Anbar, Diyala and Baghdad, claiming Baqubah as a capital city.[103][104][105][106]

The Iraq War troop surge of 2007 supplied the United States military with more manpower for operations targeting the group, resulting in dozens of high-level AQI members being captured or killed.[107]

Between July and October 2007, al-Qaeda in Iraq was reported to have lost its secure military bases in Al Anbar province and the Baghdad area.[108] During 2008, a series of US and Iraqi offensives managed to drive out AQI-aligned insurgents from their former safe havens, such as the Diyala and Al Anbar governorates, to the area of the northern city of Mosul.[109]

By 2008, the ISI was describing itself as being in a state of “extraordinary crisis”.[110] Its violent attempts to govern territory led to a backlash from Sunni Arab Iraqis and other insurgent groups and a temporary decline in the group, which was attributable to a number of factors,[111] notably the Anbar Awakening.

In late 2009, the commander of US forces in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, stated that the ISI “has transformed significantly in the last two years. What once was dominated by foreign individuals has now become more and more dominated by Iraqi citizens”.[112] On 18 April 2010, the ISI’s two top leaders, Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, were killed in a joint US-Iraqi raid near Tikrit.[113] In a press conference in June 2010, General Odierno reported that 80% of the ISI’s top 42 leaders, including recruiters and financiers, had been killed or captured, with only eight remaining at large. He said that they had been cut off from al-Qaeda’s leadership in Pakistan.[114][115][116]

On 16 May 2010, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was appointed the new leader of the Islamic State of Iraq.[117][118] Al-Baghdadi replenished the group's leadership, many of whom had been killed or captured, by appointing former Ba’athist military and intelligence officers who had served during Saddam Hussein's rule.[119][120] These men, nearly all of whom had spent time imprisoned by the US military at Camp Bucca, came to make up about one third of Baghdadi’s top 25 commanders, including Abu Abdulrahman al-Bilawi, Abu Ayman al-Iraqi, and Abu Muslim al-Turkmani. One of them, a former colonel called Samir al-Khlifawi, also known as Haji Bakr, became the overall military commander in charge of overseeing the group's operations.[121][122] Al-Khlifawi was instrumental in doing the ground work that led to the growth of ISIL.[123][124]

In July 2012, al-Baghdadi released an audio statement online announcing that the group was returning to former strongholds from which US troops and the Sons of Iraq had driven them in 2007 and 2008.[125] He also declared the start of a new offensive in Iraq called Breaking the Walls, aimed at freeing members of the group held in Iraqi prisons.[125] Violence in Iraq had begun to escalate in June 2012, primarily with AQI’s car bomb attacks, and by July 2013, monthly fatalities exceeded 1,000 for the first time since April 2008.[126]

I hope to live long enough to see the day (it could still be a few decades in the future) where 0bama isn’t even ranked among the Top 50 presidents.
