5 Reasons Barack Obama Will Be Viewed As One Of The Worst Presidents of All Time
Townhall ^ | Dec 03, 2016 | John Hawkins

Posted on 12/03/2016 6:57:20 AM PST by detective

Compiling a list of reasons why Barack Obama is a terrible president seems like a project for a book rather than a column. However, when we start looking at the catastrophic mistakes he’s made that may reverberate for years to come, it’s clear that he’s been a disaster for America on a scale that few other Presidents can match. Just look at his record.

1- He’s a foreign born Kenyan national and thus an illegal ‘President’.
2- He’s Muslim-and thus believes in the supremacy of Islam over everything-especially the Constitution.
3- He identifies with everything that is an enemy of this country.
4-He’s infiltrated the government with Muslims and accelerated the invasion of this country by illegals.
5- He’s A Kenyan Muslim socialist.

Carter is stupid. Obama may be smarter, though that’s hard to know. Carter was not intentionally trying the destroy the U.S.A., though his stupidity had the same effect as if he were.

Thank god Hillary will not be the successor. Otherwise we might never learn the half of what we don’t know at present

even with an almost all the press rooting for Obama, note that his admin clamped down on leakers and attacked any press that tried to do their job. So there is a lot we don't know yet

If you look at his actions and ignore his words, it is clear that Obama disdains America as she was founded. He is an enemy whose mission was to bring the country to its knees and hand it over to global control to keep it there.

If we didn’t sound like conspiracy nuts by pointing this out, more people would say it.

It’s by God’s grace that he hasn’t gotten us all killed.

Yet. Don't forget, 9/11 happened 9 months into Bush 43 following the Clinton presidency. I know I won't breathe easy or stop stocking prep supplies until at least a year has passed.

Jimmy Carter owes Barack Obama an eternal debt of gratitude.

Jimmy Carter is still the worst "ex"-president in history. But Obama is certainly going to beat him out for that prize as well.

Compiling a list of reasons why Barack Obama is a terrible president seems like a project for a book rather than a column. However, when we start looking at the catastrophic mistakes he’s made that may reverberate for years to come, it’s clear that he’s been a disaster for America on a scale that few other Presidents can match. Just look at his record.

1) Nearly Doubling The National Debt: Let’s see, what was it that Barack Obama said about our debt back in 2008 when he was trying to convince Americans to vote him into office?

The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from 5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents -- number 43 added 4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over 9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic.

Meanwhile, once he got into office, Obama added more debt than all previous presidents combined (which even the liberals at Politifact admit is true). Before Obama, it would have taken some real work to stave off a debt-driven economic collapse down the road, but because of the amount of debt he added on, it’s now probably unavoidable. This country survived the Brits burning the White House in the War of 1812, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11, but all of those horrors combined will pale to the long-term damage to this country Obama will cause with his reckless spending.

2) Unleashing The Genie From The Nuclear Weapons Bottle In The Middle East: Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has been a high priority since those weapons came into being. It was obviously worrisome when nations that are not friendly to America acquired nuclear weapons capable of reducing our greatest cities to ash in a moment, but there were important considerations that kept those countries from ever acting. You nuke us, we nuke you. Okay, we have a stalemate because no functional state wants mutually assured destruction.

Of course, that kind of stalemate doesn’t work with basket-case nations run by totalitarian dictators or religious fanatics… which brings us to the Iran Deal Obama signed that will end with that monstrous nation acquiring nuclear weapons. Inevitably, if Iran develops nukes, various other countries across the Middle East will also develop nuclear weapons to protect themselves. Israel may already have nukes, but it’s also not going to try to subjugate nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The same can’t be said of Iran.

In other words, Obama’s Iran Deal marks the beginning of a nuclear arms race in an area largely run by religious fanatics and anti-American dictators. The chances of a nuclear war or even more importantly, a nuke going off on American soil, have increased astronomically because of Obama’s foolishness.

3) Facilitating Illegal Immigration: The federal government has never put the amount of money and resources needed into shutting down illegal immigration. Unfortunately, crooked businesses that benefit from the practice have always paid off enough politicians to keep that from happening.

However, the Obama Administration’s practice of actually encouraging illegal immigration was a new low in our nation’s history. Obama illegally tried to give millions of illegal aliens the ability to stay here without fear of deportation; states and localities that enforced immigration law were harassed by the DOJ; he blocked the border patrol from doing its job and increased the number of refugees being imported. By doing so, Obama destroyed the rule of law, created a protected criminal class and imported poverty into the country because he thought it would benefit him politically even if it hurt the country in the process.

4) Encouraging Racial Polarization: No president ever had a better opportunity to encourage racial reconciliation than Obama. Instead, America’s first black president went in exactly the opposite direction and tried to create as much racial polarization as possible because he thought it benefited him politically. Unlike Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, Obama is subtler. His administration encouraged hatred of police, turned a blind eye to race riots and did nothing to slow down the incessant cries of “racism” from his supporters that greeted every disagreement with Obama’s policies. During Obama’s presidency, the Left openly used race as a political weapon and it created a level of racial strife in America that we haven’t seen since the sixties. 

5) Losing A War We Had Already Won In Iraq: Today in 2016, people tend to forget that Bush had largely pacified Iraq with the surge before he left office. By 2010, things had gotten so stable that the Obama Administration was trying to take credit for Iraq. Here’s Joe Biden,

I am very optimistic about…Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.

Despite the fact that our generals wanted him to work out a status of forces agreement with the Iraqi government so we could leave troops there, Obama wanted political credit for getting all our troops out of the country and he didn’t much care what happened afterwards.

So we pulled out of Iraq rather than leaving a residual force there as we have in nations like Germany, Japan and South Korea. Predictably, the whole country then fell apart. Worse yet, because of Obama’s incompetence, ISIS was able to take large swathes of territory in Iraq and it became a major player on the world stage. All the blood and treasure we spent in that nation was squandered because an incompetent politician cared more about getting a minor political advantage than winning a war.

He can save his “Legacy” by moving into the area in Chicago where all the shooting and murders Happen.
Then he will truly show his ability t o work with his People and straighten the problems out.. He could also work out the “Sanctury” Problem and show the people how to live a life of Law and Order..

#1: He hated the U.S.A. and wanted to destroy it.


That sums it up.

I think 100 years from now Americans will look back at recordings of him (viewed in some way I can’t imagine yet, maybe internal hologram or press a button on their wrist and it shows in the air in front of them) and see him without having to look through the “holy mocha” glassses he has been viewed with in this century.

They will see an insecure, effeminate liar. They will see someone who is wholly phony (by then they will know he was not even close to eligible to run), and who lies and doesn’t even care that a lot of people KNOW that he is lying as he lies. They will be shocked that he dares to read EVIDENT BULL POOP off his prompter, and his nonchalance about the degree of truth in his speech betrays an obvious disrespect for America and Americans.

There will be university level sociology classes on how someone like him made it to be President. How did he fool the smartest people of his day? And I am so frustrated that the course will NEVER MENTION FREEPERS OR SEAN HANNITY OR RUSH OR ANYONE WHO KNEW HE WAS A USURPER FAR BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Mistakes???

That's part of the problem right there. Those weren't mistakes. Those were by design.

That's like calling the 911 attacks "pilot error".
