Washington, DC—Barack Obama promised Hope and Change from
the Bush Administration’s eight-year disaster. The primary complaints by the Democrats
included that Bush had involved us in two incredibly expensive Mideast Wars. Bush supported and signed the dreaded Patriot
Act. The Bush Administration was simply not
transparent enough. The economy was
faltering and America needed jobs. Frankly, I can’t argue against the fact that
George W. Bush was one of our worst presidents ever.
Desperate Americans elected a nearly total stranger with a broad smile
who was a lot younger than his opposition, that has-been dinosaur, Senator John
McCain. McCain a well-known Republican
pretender was simply unable to excite or attract Conservative voters to the
polls. With only the Left and
African-Americans going to the polls Obama won the otherwise lackluster election.
Now with his first term set to expire, nobody can argue that
Obama didn’t give us everything Bush did, but in spades. Obama has yet to end the two Bush wars and
has gotten us into a third war with Libya.
As I write this, the Obama Administration is engaged in heavy-duty saber
rattling with Syria and Iran. Instead of
winding down these wars Obama has only turned up the heat and cost in both
dollars and our children’s lives.
The Democrats had always considered the Patriot Act, Fascist. Instead of wiping it from the books Obama has
made it far more draconian and un-American.
As for transparency, Obama sidestepped his vetted and
Congressional approved Cabinet and appointed a group Czars that answer only to
him and in secret. The so-called Health
Care Reform legislation was promulgated in secret despite Obama’s promises to
publish everything on the Internet. When
this monster was drafted the public and voting members of Congress had no time
to read it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
accurately said, We must pass the Health Care Bill to find out what’s in it.”
Faceless Czars recruited from the ranks of the Far Left
Fringe have been running the Obama Administration. It is these people that are pulling Obama’s
strings and writing the words for his Teleprompters. If Obama seems like he does not have a clue
sometimes it’s because he doesn’t.
Obama is apparently clueless and incompetent. He has walked all over our Constitution and
Liberty. To this day he’s never
publically delivered or revealed a plan for America’s future.
Imagine the screaming Democrats would have been doing if
George W. Bush brought about the NDAA to hold Americans citizens without trials
or access to lawyers? Imagine the same
with respect to authorizing our military to engage in law enforcement activity
on Americans?
Obama did this all in his first term. Imagine what he will do in a second term
where he’d not have to answer to the voters?
Other Democrat hot button issues like the Federal Death
Penalty have seen no reforms whatsoever.
Then there is the TSA abuse of our children; seniors and the
disabled that has gone unchallenged and supported fully by Obama. The Airlines, tourism and hospitality
industries have been hard hit at a time when America never needed jobs
more. Since the TSA began nearly every
airline has filed bankruptcy. As the
Obama Administration claim safety concerns they began to quietly end the
program that had trained and armed our pilots to protect our planes sending
mixed messages.
I cannot forget to mention the trillions of dollars in
bailout, bribery and “stimulus” handouts to anyone and everyone other than hard
working American taxpayers. How many
jobs did that obscene money waste create?
The only beneficiary seems to be the offshore banks where the bulk of
the money is today.
Obama’s supporters are slowly beginning to understand they
bought into this stranger’s hollow promises to make things better. Have they gotten better? Unfortunately we all know the answer to
that.

Good post! That shares an outline of the many faults of the Obama term as POTUS.
I say term and hope I never have to revise that with the qualifier '1st' in front of it.
When you are "THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER" "LOBBING" GRENADES at The Bush Administration was EASY, calling hin "UNAMERICAN" for raising the Debt Limit was easy, BUT when "GOOFY" became the Leader NOT SO EASY. He's going to lose in NOV. AND go down as one of the most inept POTUS NEXT to Jimmy Carter.
