“Like FDR, Obama has walked us back from the brink. He averted a depression, ended one war and put us on the path ending the other, rescued the auto industry…Obama has deployed the shrewd combination of speaking softly and using a big stick. Ask Bin Laden.”
Okay, one bit at a time:
“Like FDR, Obama has walked us back from the brink. He averted a depression”
-— The worst year of the Great Depression was 1937 - 4 years after FDR became president. Obama did not save us from anything. TARP may have. Obama was NOT president when TARP was passed. Obama actually slowed our recovery with his taxes and regulations.
“ended one war and put us on the path ending the other,”
Actually fighting continues in Iraq and Afghanistan and we and our allies have suffered loses in both. Plus, we have a new war in Libya and ISIS spreading all around the world. We also have a soon-to-be nuclear Iran (thanks to Obama) and an emboldened North Korea. Russia operates with impunity in Ukraine, Syria, and Georgia. China is militarizing the South China Sea without any real resistance from the U.S.
“rescued the auto industry…”
You mean Toyota and Kia and Hyundai would have gone out of business without Obama??? Oh, you mean debt heavy, union organized, U.S. auto makers relying on outmoded thinking were prevented from experiencing a natural death for their stupidity by Obama?
“Obama has deployed the shrewd combination of speaking softly and using a big stick. Ask Bin Laden.”
If I want to ask anyone about Bin Laden, it will be the U.S. Special Forces who shot him to death and left with his body. How on earth Obama - and his sycophants - can make so much hay over shooting one scumbag terrorist leader I’ll never understand. If I want to rate how successful Obama has been against terrorist leaders, I ‘ll ask Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
