Both Obama and Trump are familiar with Sir Winston Churchiills strategic directives in WWII

1. Destroy means of production of enegy, target coal and oil

2. Destroy all manufacturing capacity

3. Terrorize civilian population

Obama: make it so

Trump: do the opposite.

You’re exactly right. The Walk Away movement is a good sign that people are waking up. They want off the Plantation.

Barnes and many of the GOPestablishment missed or ignored Obama’s proclamation that he was going to ‘fundamentally change America’.

The Obama policies were by intent, because he had no interest improving the US economy. Rather, he was intent on destroying [fundamentally changing] the USA as founded.

Barnes and many of the GOPestablishment should have realized Obama had little to no expertise when Obama in 2007 claimed his executive experience was in running his own presidential campaign. Obama couldn’t even run a lemonade stand.

All the beltway Republicans got all over Rush when he said he hoped Obama would fail. From the Bush family on down, they swallowed a false premise, that Obama wanted what was best for the United States.

Rush (and most of us on FreeRepublic), wisely, proclaimed the opposite view: that Obama wanted what would diminish the United States.

When you accept that premise, every policy, regulatory, and rhetorical thing that Obama did made perfect sense.

Every thing.

America has long outgrown having a politician as POTUS. She needs a strong businessman at the helm.

“Trump has pretty much erased Obama’s entire presidency.”
________________________

Thank GOD! We pray that eraser wipes out this very dark portion of our USA history. To even elect this clown was insanity at its worse. DID NO ONE LISTEN TO THE WORDS FROM HIS SNEERING LIPS? Perhaps he was groomed for this position to awaken persons (who have no clue) as to the truths they refused to see; which cleared the path for a true victor by the name of TRUMP.

MAGA!

The Kenyansian Usurpation was only possible with the complete cooperation of BOTH parties.

The beltway Republicans didn't swallow a false premise. They knew what Obama wanted and they were in agreement with him.

They had, and still have, the idea they are our betters and we should be groveling at their feet for scraps of food, clothing, and a cardboard box in which to live, while they lord over us and think of themselves as demigods.

Obama knew exactly what he was doing, and was very successful doing it.

Rush Limbaugh, 2008: “I hope he fails.”

“they” -the Beltway Republicans. NEVER swallowed a false premise.

They knew as well as every other member of the UniParty knows that what is bad for the country is good for DC.

Its really that simple. Jobs and opportunity in DC open up every time regulatory law expands and burocracy grows

In the year 2000 DC was 84rth per capita income in USA. Today its #1. Thats all you need to know.
