Valerie Jarrett Cites 'Ending Two Wars' as Obama Accomplishments
Townhall.com ^ | May 23, 2016 | Cortney O'Brien

White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett was tasked with listing some of the ways President Obama made good on his promise to bring “hope and change” to America during her interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” this weekend. She cited a declining unemployment rate, a revived automobile industry and the millions of Americans who now have health care as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Some of those “accomplishments” are debatable, but one was downright false. During her answer, Jarrett had the audacity to say that Obama “ended two wars” during his two-term tenure.

Jarrett’s comments would be news to our military. The president declared he was pulling out American troops from Iraq in 2011, only to send over 4,000 soldiers back. Meanwhile, we are launching thousands of airstrikes against ISIS and assisting Iraqi forces in their new effort to retake the important city of Fallujah.

The Obama administration has had a hard time using the word “combat” to describe our presence in Iraq, despite military serviceman being killed while fighting ISIS. Earlier this month, Navy SEAL Charles Keating IV became the third service member to fall on the front lines of battle.

Oh, and Jarrett’s “60 Minutes” interview aired at the same time our military launched a drone strike against a major Taliban leader.

While the interview may have been conducted before the official Pentagon announcement, her comments coincided with the news that a drone strike had taken out Taliban leader Mansour in the Pakistan province of Baluchistan – the latest sign of the prolonged fight in the Middle East and South Asia.

So, we’ll ask again: What exactly are President Obama's accomplishments?

According to The Five, Obama has been at war longer than any other president in US history.

Hirohito ended one war, but it was a big one.

Obama’s biggest accomplishment:

Paving the way for the AntiChrist.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:4-8)

If, surrender is ending two wars. It is losing two wars, once won.

Exactly what are President Obama’s accomplishments? Well, for the most ideologically Marxist president in America’s history, he has accomplished more than most people know about but I’m going to start making a list, checking it twice.

1. first Marxist elected president of the U.S.
2. first Marxist president reelected president of the U.S.
3. first president to go on several around the world “America apology tours” including to enemy countries
4. Tried to betray the anti-communist govt of Honduras and put back a leftist who was undermining their constitution
5. Legitimized the communist dictatorship of Castro’s Cube while ignoring human rights activists beaten in the streets and tortured in jail.
6. Delisted Cuba and other countries as participating in “global and regional terrorism”.
7. Supported the Marxist regimes of Venezuela, Bolivia, the mini-Marxist leader of Ecuador, gave billions of dollars in loans to the Marxist/corrupt govt of Brazil (Lula, Rousseff), etc.
8. Let Mexico get away with murder and illegal immigrations crimes for years.
9. Failed to get the Mexican govt to share its oil wealth with the people of Mexico.
10. Gave Iran everything it wanted from money to diplomatic legitimacy, while getting humiliated on the open seas and having US citizens kidnapped and/or tortured for years.
11. Abandoned Israel to Hamas/Fatah and now Al Qaeda in the Sinai. Insulted Israeli PM Netanyahu many times and viewed him as a “dhimmi”.
12. Tried to overthrow Assad in Syria without any sensible and reasonable plan, which has left 250,000 Syrians dead, millions in exile (internally and externally), all the while giving Russia its influence and bases back there. Also allowed Iran to send it troops and Hezbollah proxies to weak havoc there.
13. Gave Iran a complete pass on its nuclear programs.
14. Allowed Russia to give Syria a very modern, hi-tech anti-aircraft system that could devastate both Israeli and US planes if they attacked Iran’s nuclear and missile sites.
15. Wanted to bail out corruption ridden, Marxist-undermined Greece.
16. Wants to and has to some extent, bring in unvetted Middle Eastern “refugees” including some on other nations’ wanted lists.
17. Forcing cities and towns to accept refugees or face federal prosecution and penalties.
18. Destroyed white/black race relations for decades esp. by supporting Treyvon Martin, Freddy Gray, the Ferguson riots, Baltimore riots, and the far-left, black racist Black Lives Matter organization/movement.
19.Supports race-hater/monger Al Sharpton and let this criminal extortionist, murderous arson inciting agitator, visit the White House over 90 times.
20. Let his racist buttboy Eric Holder demolish the Constitution and conduct race-based persecutions and prosecutions against whites, esp. Christians while allowing him to ignore the laws re illegal immigration, religious rights, and criminal/incarceration policies.
21. Has appointed communists, crooks, crazies and incompetents to every major position in every govt agency from the IRS to DOJ to the EPA, DOI, CDC, NASA, Energy, Forest Service and National Parks Service (remember the closing of the national parks?), the CIA (Brennan, there’s a winner for you), Dir. of National Intelligence (Clapper, whose bell is short of one); Commerce (the Hispanic racist Perez), Commie Van Jones, Green Czar, Anita Dunn, a big fan of the greatest mass murderer in history, Mao tse-tung, and James Hansen as science advisor (he’s a few molecules short of an atom), etc.
22. Decimated our combat experienced commanders and appointed (in most cases), arm-chair pansies and incompetents.
23. Appointed Jeh Johnson (Senate vote, a shame) as head of Dept. of Homeland Security. Jeh can’t even’t spell it.
24. Let the IRS leaders lie to Congress ad nauseum. The same for the heads of the VA and some regional offices.
25. Wants billions of dollars for the Center for Disease Control when they don’t have concrete plans on how to spend it effectively. Won’t allow the production of DDT, the best mosquito killer in the world, to be used in malaria-ridden Africa, some of Asia, and parts of Latin America.
26. Let the EPA be run by Marxist and fanatical leaders who don’t let any challenging voices be heard and checked re global warming, climate change (it changes every day folks), and the accuracy of scientific instruments, whether there are enough to make sound observations, and whether some scientists have cooked the books (East Anglia studies and other admitted tampered with evidence/studies).
27. Interfering with police departments all across the country, often on flimsy grounds and suppositions, thus creating a “blue stand down” in fighting crime in many major cities where those who suffer are the very minorities Obama should have been concerned with.
28. Wrecking gender identity to the point that our public restrooms are now wide open for cross-dressing sexual identity confused individuals to pick and choose where they want to go, as well as to let sexual predators use the transgender identity issue to mask their access to mainly Womens’ restrooms where small children are.
29. Destroying our relationships with Europe, or what is left of it. Tried to betray our allies in Poland and Czechoslovakia over anti-missile defenses.
30. OBAMACARE!

My hand hurts. Someone else take up this Olympian task of listing the crimes against American that is Obama.

Sure, Val, 0bama is responsible for turning Afghanistan and Iraq into the sweet-scented garden spots they’ve become. He’ll get credit for it, all right.

Mike Gallagher. The 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country, is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly.
He compiled and wrote the following essay entitles, “Obama: It was You.”

President Obama:
This is why you didn’t go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorist:
It was you who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner –“I am one of you.”
It was you who on ABC News referenced – “My Muslim faith.”
It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict “I will stand with the Muslims.”
It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that –“I am a Muslim.”
It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity
and professing Marxism.
It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
It was you who purposefully omitted –“endowed by our Creator” –from your recitation of the
The Declaration of Independence.
It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly
Referring to the ‘Holy Qur’an.
It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America
It was you who instantly threw the support of your administration behind the building of the
Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center
It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host and
Islamic prayer breakfast at the White House.
It was you who ordered Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ
BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested the
mosques you have visited to adjust their decor.
It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to you Czar corps.
It was you who appointed rabid Islamist to Homeland Security.
It was you who said that NASA’s “foremost mission” was an outreach to Muslim communities.
It was you who as an Illinois Senator was the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.
It was you who were the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the White House, and
went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.
It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorist.
It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.
It was you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women
throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of
hypothetical human-rights abuses.
It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global
Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of
numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.
It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.D. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
It was you who ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.
It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help “empower” the British Muslim
community.

It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across
our country.

It was you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
It was you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism of NOT
participating in seasonal WH religious events.
It was you who was Uncharacteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose
Egypt’s Hosni Mubarack, formerly America’s strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your
response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian, who is a member of the
Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was you who said this country is not a Christian nation.

Lord does it ever end?

Which two wars did he end. We are still in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now are in Syria. He didn’t cut unemployment, he hid it. According to CNN over 8 million people have stopped looking for work. As they are not being counted because the count list includes only those that are asking benefits, and these people don’t because they are not actively looking. But they are still unemployed. So during his term, he not only created the job losses, but further screwed it up so people couldn’t even look for jobs. And as for healthcare, he has provided a further welfare program as everyone above the poverty level in earnings has had to pay more to cover the health insurance for those that don’t pay anything. And at the same time, is destroying social security and medicare funds to support his idiocy.

These are accomplishments? They’re blights!
