During the 2008 campaign, Barrack Obama stated his goal as President would be to “transform America.” In fairness to those Independents and even many Republicans who helped vote this inexperienced and minimally competent person into office, Obama did not provide details on what he meant by that. Now, almost four years later most of us understand exactly what he meant, and we’re appalled. Here are but a few of the highlights:
- Waste the Democrats’ super majority in Congress by running up almost 5 trillion dollars in new debt in less than 4 years by passing ObamaCare and other programs detrimental to our country’s future.
- Whine constantly about the difficult economy he inherited and then proceed to make it much, much worse. (See Dodd-Franks, the Keystone Pipeline decision, etc.)
- Blame all his problems on his predecessors and never take responsibility or provide meaningful leadership.
- Divide the country along class lines and constantly harangue our most productive citizens.
- Practice a “crony” capitalism that sends huge amounts of government largesse to favored “green energy” companies, while demonizing anyone who disagrees with his decisions.
- Minimize in speeches and actions the importance of America’s role in the world and diminish our standing with other countries.
- Announce out of one side of his mouth the importance of victory in Afghanistan, then out of the other side state arbitrary deadlines and rules of engagement that make such a victory almost impossible.
During my absence the past few weeks, many bitter words have been written in the ICO by Obama supporters against the Republican candidates. The truth is that virtually every one of those candidates would better serve the country than this abysmally inept individual we now have in office. Mitt Romney believes this election is about the “soul of America.” A majority of voters may well agree.
