[tttppp]

Hello All,

With the upcoming general election and possibility of finally voting BO out; I'd like to compile a list of all the reasons why Obama has been a horrible president. Should be a good one to tell my grand-kids one day.
Now, I'm looking for intelligible reasons with adequate factual and/or logical backing. In-depth reasoning is appreciated. Bonus points for broken promises, quotes of them, and flip-flops.
Should this thread go well enough, I can edit this post to include all your user entries, and even categorize it all.

I'll start:

1) Obama has increased national debt by 5.1 trillion from the time he's taken office to 5/27/2012. That's increased our national debt by 48% from the prior level of 10.6 trillion; in just 3.5 years. Our debt to GDP is now over 100%.
2) “Today I'm Pledging To Cut The Deficit We Inherited In Half By The End Of My First Term In Office.” Obama is the first president to preside over a trillion dollar deficit. Not only did he break his promise to cut the deficit in half, he increased it by record levels. Every year of his presidency has presided over a trillion dollar deficit.
3) "The fact that we're here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means 'The buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit." Obama talks tough as a senator;flops as president. Not only does he contradict his past-self and raise the debt ceiling, but he's the first president to lose our AAA credit rating.
4)In a rare show of bipartisanship, Obama has his 2012-13 fiscal budget unanimously smacked down. A senate vote of 97-0, and house vote of 414-0.
5)In a further show of economic ineptitude, Obama appoints medical doctor Jim Yong Kim to head the World Bank. Of course, this in the midst of BRIC nations pushing for their own nationalities to become appointed.

6)"Let me say this as plainly as I can: By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end,""I intend to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011." Nope. Obama continues the war in not only Iraq, but also Afghanistan and involves the US in Libya. He follows the G.W. Bush timetables for our withdraw from Iraq. The story now? We'll be supporting them until 2024, and that's with no extensions.
7)"I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture. And I'm gonna make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world." Did he? No.
So much for the Nobel Peace Prize. Do they come in happy meals nowadays?

8)“No more illegal wiretapping of American citizens” BO signs a four year extension, 2011-2015. No reforms. Broken promise? I think so.
9)Obama signs National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Indefinite detention of American citizens by U.S. military.

10)From Obama website: Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. . Another broken promise. Obama is more vigorously combating whistleblowers than any other president. In his presidency, he has charged 6 under the Espionage act for alleged mishandling of classified information. Twice the number of all other presidencies combined (3).

11) "When I was a kid, I inhaled, frequently." Obama smoked marijuana; yet he has presided over one of the most vicious federal crackdowns on state medical marijuana. "I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue." Wrong. More than 100 raids in three years; he might just surpass Bush. In fact, he's even brought in the IRS; threatening property owners with repossession if they don't evict dispensaries.

12) ObamaCare. The monstrous federal takeover of healthcare; 2000 pages of legislative nonsense. Passed with only unilateral support from Democrats and Nancy Pelosi saying "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." Yes, the first attempt by federal government to coerce citizens into buying a product. Obama contradicts himself, for some reason believing universal healthcare will fix our problems despite this quote "if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house."
There are so many flaws with ObamaCare it's unbelievable. To add insult to injury, the CBO later projected ObamaCare was going to cost 1.76 trillion instead of the assumed 940 billion over a decade. Anyone familiar with Austrian economics and price controls will understand the government's attempts at price controls will merely prolong shortages and introduce rationing.
Equally appalling is the deceit of government health insurance. There is no such thing. By definition insurance involves risk, which government health welfare does not by its universal coverage.

So, these are the atrocities I'm familiar with; there are no doubt many, many more. In fact, I recall an article about Obama creating a task-force to watch "propaganda". He wouldn't want his election hopes dashed. Hope he doesn't shut this thread down.

The list I've compiled so far is by no means comprehensive, I look forward to other user submissions. Also, I did stumble across a list of broken promises (although I'm unsure of its accuracy) here: newsgnome.blogspot.com/2009/03/official-list-of-obamas-broken-promises.html if anyone wants to jog their memories.
If any of my information is inaccurate or misleading, bring it to my attention.

Ron Paul 2012

Good point about the raising of debt when he said he would reduce it. He also stated that he would have $1 in cuts for everyone $1 in spending. If he had done that, I don't know how he could have raised our debt by so much.

Also, Mitt Robmoney will never have my support. I will vote Ron Paul in November; that's that.

That's all I needed to hear.

Welcome to the forums.

Pay my snark no mind in the previous post.

 

[WhistlinDave]

Maybe I missed it, but I can't believe no one has yet mentioned Executive Order 13603.

Talk about some seriously sinister Evil Empire shit. This thing makes the Patriot Act and NDAA look like Obama gave everybody a ticket to Disneyland. We're talking the legal authorization of COMPLETE TOTALITARIAN CONTROL of everyone and everything.

[anaconda]

Obama has been quite effective for his globalist handlers.

 

[Elfshadow]

Any time I see "Obama is the worst president" I normally don't bother listening to anything that is said afterwards, cause it normally means a republican, vote for the lesser of the two evils, and support Romney speech is about to start.

 

[Voluntary Man]

He's the worst president in U.S. history because he beat McCain.

that's it, exactly. if mccain had won, he would have deserved that title, just as clinton had it, until W took the crown. it's all a matter of who happens to be in the driver's seat, as the bus races closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. the best president will be the one who actually turns the bus around.

 

[Don Lapre]

Barry is easily the worst of all-time.

He's a criminal fraud who's not even eligible to hold the office.


Whoever is 2nd worst is a very distant 2nd.

 

[MelissaWV]

I don't know. NDAA, flipping on FISA and teh Patriot Act, CISPA and goiing around Congress when it couldn't muster support to regulate the internet doing it by executive dictatorial fiat, Libya and all the other end runs of Congress, on and on and on.....

He's the worst imho, however, it is in part cumulative. There aren't two things I can think of that he would do differently than Romney. I'd say the Bush tax cuts but note that he did extend them....

Drafting your own citizens to fight against people who would otherwise be your own citizens, taking a nice long piss on the Constitution, managing to look like you freed the slaves (to history) while actually being a massive racist, signing people fresh off the boat into a sort of indentured servitude with the notion that your wages and some sort of decent lifestyle would be provided for the family of the newly minted soldier (and all the while "Irish need not apply" kept them poor and likely they died sooner than the soldier did)...?

Honestly, I think we see the shit we're in as worse than the shit other people were in, or are in, all the time. Those acts are there, but many of them have not been exploited yet. If we're to be angry, we should look back and be angry at the Fed, Social Security, Executive Orders, "conflicts" (which we now have instead of wars), and so on. It is cumulative, as you said, and it would be silly to blame the present for the obvious blunders of the past.

People toss "worst" around like there's any real way to tell.

Agreed, I think he's only the worst because of lack of perspective. Is he bad? Yes. Is he real bad? Yes.

Is he the worst? I don't think so...............

 

[Simple]

When Obama's spokesman explained that Obama will work with Congress on the stuff that they want to pass and Obama will legislate by executive order on issues that Congress isn't cooperating on, this is when I realized that Obama is the worst president ever. His own spokesman is telling us that he is acting openly as a fascist.

 

[cheapseats]

Barack Obama cares more about himself than he does about the well-being of American Citizens.

Same was true of Gee Dub.

Barack Obama cares more about his LEGACY than he does about the integrity of the United States.

Same was true of Gee Dub.

 

[tod evans]

Fire all of Washington, every last one of them from the prez down to the court clerks, tar and feather every lobbyist and put 'em on a slow boat to China.

Throw a dart at each states map, go to the local diner and recruit new "politicians" using one simple credential; callouses...

No callouses = no job.....Can't represent me.

Bet things would change in a hurry.


Oh.....Obama.....Same monster, different head.

 

[osan]

Yeah, he's pretty bad.

So was Bush.

So was Clinton.

So was Bush the Elder.

And Reagan was no great shakes in the main either, especially considering deficits.

Isn't that the truth. I've never understood the Reagan worship deal. Hannity, I am sure, would oblige Ronny with all the oral sex he could stand, were he alive. In fact, I'd keep Hannity away from Ronnie's grave, especially if he's carrying a shovel or a strap-on backhoe.

I remember as a young adult watching in slack jawed amazement as the Raygun spouted off endlessly about "small government" as government grew to the greatest proportions this nation had ever known at the time. All I could do was wonder just who, exactly, was buying this line of shit. Apparently, nearly everyone - certainly enough. I recall cringing when the national defense budget was announced at $200 BILLION. Oh if only we could go back even to that...

The Reagan presidency was a clear message to the people of the USA. It was an overt expression of the utter, bitter, and sheer contempt for which those in power hold the rest of us. And to be honest, we deserve their contempt because we sat back and let the train keep building steam. We should have apprehended the lot of them, tried, convicted, and then very publicly executed them. But no, we chose to be lazy, ignorant imbeciles charging into the 80s to the strains of "Wall Street['s]" Gordon Gecko. How many of us looked at what was going on and felt the horror of it? Not too many. So fuck the assholes of America. They deserve the shearing they are getting and the ones yet to come. My regret is that the good people, the worthy people, will be sucked down the vortex with the scum.

OK, now my head hurts again. I'll be over here in the corner if anyone needs me.

PS: Obama is like a well-tanned Mussolini. Just look at how his body language is so similar.

 

[seeker4sho]

Like all presidents, Obama mostly approves what Congress authorizes. If you are upset about the way things are going, take a good look at your voting record -- who have you voted for during your life time and what was their record? Somebody voted the tyrants into office, could it be you?

 

[truelies]

Got to agree here. However, I do Rate BHO as the worst Prez because he is the first to openly decline to meet the Constitutional requirements for the Office of President, him not being a Natural Born Citizen.

PRESIDENT + CONGRESS + SCOTUS = HANDMAIDENS.

George Bush was no more free to jeopardize the BUSH DYNASTY FORTUNE than Paris Hilton is free to jeopardize the HILTON DYNASTY FORTUNE. Genuine Deciders mainly stay outta the limelight . . . 'cept for DICK CHENEY.

Money talks? Billionaires HOLLER . . . AND they control the microphones.

 

[truelies]

That said Romney will probably double down on being a bad Prez as he also seems to fail the NBC test and will quite likely pick another NBC failure as his VP. Naturally this is all part of teaching Americans that not only are they helpless to oppose their National Elite but are also helpless to resist INTERNATIONAL Elites.

Thus describing the key characterisitic of American Style Fascism with its signature thin 'progressive' veneer..

He's definitely got that Mussolini-esque inclination-of-the-head thing going on. Creepy.
