What Has Obama Done to Us, and How Was He Able to Do It?
American Thinker ^ | January 20, 2017 | Richard Winchester

Posted on 01/20/2017 5:14:07 AM PST by Kaslin

Now that his time as president has come to an end, it’s time to ask what Barack Obama has done to the country, and how he has been able to do it.

Obama is the most left-wing president in American history. Never mind his speech at the 2004 Democrat National Nomination Convention, or during the run-up to the 2008 election, when he was presenting himself as a moderate.

Someone scrutinizing Obama’s history, including his early years in and out of the U.S., his time in school, his stint as a Chicago community organizer, his law school experiences, and his political career as an Illinois state senator and a U.S. senator, should have recognized him for what he is: a radical leftist, steeped in Marxism, contemptuous of America’s Constitution, hostile to traditional values, and committed to Alinskyite notions of social justice.

It’s stupefying to realize how little the Mainstream Media (MSM) vetted him before January 20 2009. Perhaps it is therefore understandable that some who could not, or would not, recognize Obama for what he was believed he was some kind of moderate capable of uniting the nation along post-partisan and post-racial lines.

Obama’s term as chief executive has been disastrous for the U.S. in terms of both domestic and foreign affairs. There is no need to reprise the litany of Obama’s deleterious policies. If one wants a partial glimpse of the damage Obama and his minions have done to our domestic institutions, read Yuval Levin’s article in the December 2016 issue of Commentary. His disastrous cuts to America’s military, and his commutation of “Chelsea” Manning’s sentence show how little he cares about U.S. national security.

These terrible developments stem from his successes in fundamentally transforming the country.

The brilliant Dr Sebastian Gorka---a frequent Fox guest---summed up Obama (and the Clintons) beautifully: "They don't believe in objective truth. They're post- secular modernists. They believe in cultural relativism.......that all cultures are equal..... except America, which (in their minds) is worse than everybody else."

========================================

ANALYSIS The spoken truth is what THEY say it is.....it must be stripped of any concept of 2000 years of man's knowledge of right and wrong.

2008 candidate Obama’s calm cool voice of reason was supposed to prevail. Remember when Obama calmly assured America that once he was elected all Mideast “hostilities” would cease. A confident Obama would make sure America was once again “respected” around the world. And who could forget Obama’s “Arab Spring” when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?

2012 Ohaha used the same conniving 2008 strategy patented by PR honcho Anita (Mao) Dunn---to manipulate voters, to downplay Ohaha's bgrnd, his destructive policies ....and his scary plans for his next term.

Remember, Dunn said back then, that THEY and only THEY decided what the media and the voters should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha. The strategy was to have Ohaha and his shady handlers play the innocents---the "don't worry--we're harmless" act.

===============================================

The WH teemed with the kingpins of crooked Chicago politics. (Looting the Treasury and voter fraud are the Chi/mobs specialties).

Let us not forget----the minute they hit the WH, the Chi/mob went into action: (1) the WH Chi/mob took over the census---and have all the CV they need to file phony FEC reports using stolen federal dollars as campaign contributions. (2) Plus COS Rham (The Godfather) Emanuel was put in charge of the US Treasury.

2012 Ohaha even bragged his was the first "billion dollar" campaign---a creepy way to show how "popular" he is (gag).

As Judge Judy would say: "Show me where you got the money to pay for this."

Obama championed and promoted a destructive sense of national weakness. Thank God we will have a president who believes in strength and wants to Make America Great Again.

The D.C. UniParty. It has been unmasked by this administration.

All along, we though we had a two-party system. We didn’t.

Now, we are building a true second party.

As I said on another thread, “former” is the best f-word we can apply to Obama on this day. Matter of fact, I think I’ll make that my tagline for a few days.

Øbama has for eight years been inflicting tremendous damage to the United States of America...

but the USA is so vast and strong that she is like a prehistoric monster into whose armoured hide showers of arrows can be shot in vain. But a frightful measure of cruelty of the enemy's assault!

paraphrased from Churchill's Do Your Worst speech

MEMO TO President Trump: another Obama ex/order to trash.

“Obama Executive Order Unleashes “Behavioral Science” Squad to “Nudge” You
by Alex Neman Sept. 18, 2015, The New American

“Under the guise of better “serving” the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging “behavioral science” techniques against the public.

The Obama order also establishes a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team charged with applying psychological research to manipulate the beliefs and behaviors of Americans under various pretexts, and guide the vast federal bureaucracy as it hones its abilities to manipulate the public. “ --SNIP--

==================================================

(HAT TIP ANIMA MUNDI)---this sub rosa stuff commands people to believe the absurd----(a) a total acceptance of gay marriage, (b) global warming tagged climate change, and, (c) Hillary looking into the camera, admitting to lying and betrayal, yet, she still is supported.

(NOT TO FORGET (d) Muslims are peaceful, (e) Mexico is our friend, (f) illegals violate our borders looking for a better life, (g) The Clinton Foundation is saving the globe.

=============================================

FREEPER ANALYSIS Behavioral Sciences and psychology are dismissed by our side is being USED by the other side. Psychology is not just “counseling” or some frivolous study. It is a weapon when used in certain ways to strategically position image, words, feelings of large groups of people.

Trayvon Martin becomes a moral cause, his name on everyone’s lips....fund-raising as a bonus. Kate Steinle killed by an illegal in San Francisco??? Well, “things happen.” Benghazi? “Well, so long ago”, etc.

We had better start paying attention to this and grab the language: stop using their terms, stop giving into their demands, stop apologizing for offending them, stop changing team names and acting as if their complaints are real when they are not. All of it is connected and goes back to manipulation of public opinion. These tools are available to us as well.

Bears repeating, the single most important thing that must be done to keep our country:

We MUST get the education system back to EDUCATING, not INDOCTRINATING

In his last few days he has unleashed a horde of criminals and terrorists on the American people.

Beyond disgusting and reprehensible.

? “He was groomed for just this, to take America down.”

Yes. There were people behind him pulling his strings but he was constrained by people inside the federal security agencies and the federal courts. In this sense, the Constitution’s check and balances worked but not well enough. Obama was very close to ruling the United States by edict without any interference. In other words, the Republic was nearly lost.

There is more to the ‘hacking’ story from the democrats. Of course, what they were pushing as ‘hacking’ was a lie. But they pushed it because their own ‘hack’ was thwarted by a ‘counterhack’ in the final hours of the election tabulation.

If the democrats, and note not just democrats but all persons involved or tied to the leftist powers behind Obama, if they had succeeded in their ‘hack’ of the vote totals, then the republic would surely have been lost under Clinton. There’s no doubt of that.

What is now necessary to destroy the left after this week of celebration is to ‘out the progressive powers’ behind Obama, to name names and reveal exactly who they are. Many hide behind the secretive ‘Democracy Alliance’ http://democracyalliance.org not to be confused with the ‘Democratic Alliance’ which is a political party in South Africa. There are many leftist billionaires behind the Democracy Alliance that need to be outed and questioned in a court of law.

? “I have many friends lamenting him leaving the White House.”

That’s easy to see on Facebook where liberals after the Bernie Sanders rigged failure remarked that they still thought Obama was a “great guy”.

Nothing can be said to such people to make them see the light. They are not salvageable.

One thing about Obama, his deception was ‘smooth’. That made him much more dangerous than the typical ranting melting leftist like for example Van Jones.

Democrats fall into one of two groups: they are either rabidly socialist anti American savages that hate all things Christian or, 2) they are really, really stupid. The latter group blindly follow the first.

And both groups are enabled by RINO congressmen who, when they get to DC, do no more than to jockey for career advancement and hookers, regardless what they promised their constituents.

All the above bodes ill for the majority of America. Until now, we've had no one to speak for us.

HOW WAS HE ABLE TO DO IT?

Political Correctness.

The majority of the people have lost their ability to think clearly, to distinguish fact from leftist dogma, or to use their brains to make fact based judgement calls.
