Barack Obama: Worst President Ever
Barack Obama: Worst President Ever
By Todd Strandberg
I am forever thankful to the people who passed the twenty-second Amendment. Without a limit on a third term, it just seems we would be stuck with Barack Obama as the commander-in-chief until the day he died in office. My greatest joy is that the carnage this man has been inflicting on the U.S. will finally come to an end.
The liberal media certainly do not see this as a joyous occasion. They are crying like they are about to lose a political leader in equal stature to our Founding Fathers. From the moment Obama showed up on the national stage to address the Democratic convention in 2004, the news media fell wildly in love with him.
“Obama is a rock star,” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell exclaimed during MSNBC’s live convention coverage back on July 27, 2004. The next morning, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos echoed Mitchell’s enthusiasm: “He’s the Tiger Woods of the Democratic Party right now.”
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews had the most famous response to an Obama speech: “I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My — I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.” That weird moment occurred during MSNBC’s coverage of the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. primaries, February 12, 2008.
Most of the praise that has been poured on Obama is cultish drivel:
Presidential campaigns have destroyed many bright and capable politicians. But there’s ample evidence that Obama is something special—a man who makes difficult tasks look easy, who seems to touch millions of diverse people with a message of hope that somehow doesn’t sound Pollyannaish. — AP writer Charles Babington in a May 10, 2008 dispatch.
My recollection of Obama’s two terms is one disaster after another. There can be no doubt that he has been the worst president ever. Conservatives have been compiling his record of dubious achievements for several years. To get a grasp of the evil this man has inflicted upon America, I’ve compiled a condensed list of firsts that sets him apart from other U.S. presidents:
The first president to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he is a foreigner. The first president to have a social security number from a state in which he has never lived.
The first president to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States. The first president to violate the War Powers Act.
The first president to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf. The first president to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party.
The first president to abrogate bankruptcy laws to turn over control of companies to his union supporters. The first President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.
The first president to order a secret amnesty program for illegal immigrants. The first president to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.
The first president to tell a CEO of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign. The first and only president to cancel the National Day of Prayer.
The first and only president to say that America is no longer a Christian nation. The first president to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.
The first president to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it. The first president to tell a company in which state it is allowed to locate a factory.
The first president to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN). The first president to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago.
The first president to actively try to bankrupt an American industry (coal). The first president to surround himself with radical left wing anarchists.
The first president to golf more than 300 separate times during his term in office. The first president to hide his birth, medical, educational and travel records and not be held accountable.
The first president to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it. The first president to be in a continuous state of war throughout his entire presidency.
The first president to go on multiple “global apology tours.” The first president to have personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife.
The first president to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000 a year at taxpayer expense. The first president to repeat words in the Quran.
The first president to say the Islamic call to worship is “the most beautiful sound on earth.” The first president to increase the food stamp spending by more than 100% in a single term.
The first president to conceal food stamp data from public scrutiny. The first president to side with a foreign nation over one of the American 50 states (Mexico vs. Arizona).
The first president to (inconceivably) allow Iran to inspect their own facilities. The first to president to trade 5 terrorist for a traitor. The first president to use the IRS to unfairly target political enemies. The first president to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space.
The first president to facilitate the Iranians to acquire nuclear weapons. The first president to light up the White House in rainbow colors to honor homosexuality.
The first president to allow men in women’s restrooms and showers. The first president to conduct the marriage of two men.
The first president to actively medal in an Israeli election. The first president to be named by the AP as the least transparent administration in history.
The first president to develop an openly hostile relationship with the nation of Israel.
At the end of this week, Obama will leave the White House and start working on a series of books that will be pure fluff and will sell poorly, but none the less, he will receive a multi-million dollar advances for each book. I’m sure he will follow the Clinton’s playbook; collecting huge speaking fees for implied lobbying efforts back in Washington.
There have been nearly a dozen other presidents who left office in disgrace because of far more minor misdeeds. I think what has allowed Obama to escape justice is our nearness to the Tribulation. Since God is about to judge the whole world, there is no need to discredit Obama with some minor scandal.
“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed” (Romans 2:5 NIV).
