The one act that defined President Barack Obama
American Thinker ^ | January 12, 2017 | Peter Heck

Posted on 01/12/2017 4:59:39 AM PST by NYer

It is fitting that presidents give farewell messages.  But given the venue and setting President Obama had chosen, it was fairly easy to surmise that this would be a final political rally and national lecture.

I will simply recount the one lasting legacy of Barack Obama that will always be emblazoned in my memory.  When I think of him, I will think of this.  When I reflect on his promised era of hope and change, I will be drawn to this image. 

Despite your personal feelings on his coolness, his character, his charisma, or his competence, Barack Obama will forever be the president who worked diligently to put the gun of government to the heads of the Little Sisters of the Poor, demanding that they either pay to destroy children in the womb or be crushed.

You can't candy-coat that.  You can't hide it.  You can't pretend it wasn't what it was.  For 177 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor has been a large Roman Catholic religious ministry that takes vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and hospitality.  Serving the Kingdom of God on earth in over 30 countries, they have one stated mission: to care for impoverished people as they near the end of their lives.  As Ashley McGuire describes it, "The only fight they go looking for is to make the last days of some very downtrodden people brighter and happier, to send as many people into the next life surrounded by love, not garbage."

Barack Obama knew that, personally.  Regardless, he instructed his administration to rewrite executive regulations nine separate times to ensure these nuns be forced to either violate their conscience by helping distribute abortifacients or be fined $70 million a year and out of existence.

His obsession was so out of touch that the Supreme Court, divided as it is, issued a unanimous ruling telling Obama he must find another way. When Ruth Bader Ginsburg joins hands with Clarence Thomas to rebuke your fixation with forcing nuns to violate their conscience, you have reached the pinnacle of ideological extremism.

Hateful man, ping!

Folks...only 6% of the 325,000,000 million Americans tuned in the Obama “Farewell Speech”. This...is an amazing low number of viewers considering the speech was broadcast on just about every TV station in the country!!! I guess the “Obama, Hope & Change” mantra failed miserably across the board!!!

I will simply recount the one lasting legacy of Barack Obama that will always be emblazoned in my memory . . . Barack Obama . . . instructed his administration to rewrite executive regulations nine separate times to ensure these nuns be forced to either violate their conscience by helping distribute abortifacients or be fined $70 million a year and out of existence.

I wish that was the one single act of pure evil from these eight terrible years that stood out in my mind. Unfortunately, this ordeal has been a string of events at the same shockingly high level of malice. When I think of Obama in the future, what I hope to remember is how much of his legacy disappeared, rather than just how much hatred he held for everything decent. I will not hate him once he is no longer a threat to my country, to my children, or to freedom in general, but I will always hate the pure evil that he stands for.

Barack Obama personally knew that, for 177 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor served the Kingdom of God on earth in over 30 countries to care for impoverished people as they neared the end of their lives.

Regardless, this degenerate half-caste instructed his underlings to rewrite executive regulations nine separate times to ensure these nuns be forced to either violate their conscience by helping distribute abortifacients, or be fined $70 million a year, and force them out of existence......leaving the world's unfortunates sans their comforting ministrations.

These Obamanations expose a person devoid of any human kindness.

Nevertheless, his perverted fantasies....about men in little girl's bathrooms....expose him as an individual w/ a dangerous criminal mind.

But, but, but the Media tells us his popularity rate is over 50%! But that’s probably more Fake News, making the Media more and more irrelevant.

Agree. The persecution of the Little Sisters is probably one of the sickest things I’ve ever witnessed in “politics.”

I’ve run out of words to describe both the soullessness of this illicit president and how much I despise him.

The one act that defined President Barack Obama.....for me, his outrageous comments of “police acting stupidly” and subsequent beer summit right at the start of his term set the tone and was an immediate red flag of what a pathetic man he was and that civilization would be set back immeasurably. The fact he got a second term to do even more damage is a total mystery even if Romney was a poor candidate.

He's a piece of sh*t, through and through.

Catholic nuns wear what's called a habit.

...although some have dispensed with it nowadays, many of the conservative orders - and the cloistered ones - retain it.

FWIW, not restricted to women...

” . . .to ensure these nuns be forced to either violate their conscience by helping distribute abortifacients, or be fined $70 million a year, and force them out of existence. . . “

This is the spirit of anti-Christ at work in this evil man and his lawless administration.

Pray that demonic spirit leaves with him,

How do you collect fines on an organization founded on vows of poverty? TheSisters have no assets to seize. They can refuse this abominable directive, be fined from here to Kingdom Come, and still go cheerfully about their mission of mercy. Not defiantly, but in the sure and certain knowledge that the master they serve is the eternal one.

Actually, I have a hard time choosing between the rainbow-lit White House (biggest insult I’ve ever experienced as an American), vs. the time, early in 2009, when he called in Republican leaders to hear what they had to say (you know, to work together w/ demwits), and, when a suggestion was made that brocko modify his stance on this-or-that, he replied, “I won”. It was all in-your-face, all the time.

After that, it would be holder’s “prosecutorial discretions”.
