I have been broadcasting for 31 years and writing for longer than that. I do not recall ever saying on radio or in print that a president is doing lasting damage to our country. I did not like the presidencies of Jimmy Carter (the last Democrat I voted for) or Bill Clinton. Nor did I care for the compassionate conservatism of George W. Bush. In modern political parlance compassionate is a euphemism for ever-expanding government.
But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged by a president. So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America . The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.
Domestically, his policies have had a grave impact on the American economy. He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history. He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion that is 6,500 billion in five years (this after calling his predecessor unpatriotic for adding nearly $5 trillion in eight years).
He has fashioned a country in which more Americans now receive government aid means-tested, let alone non-means-tested than work full-time. He has no method of paying for this debt other than printing more money thereby surreptitiously taxing everyone through inflation, including the poor he claims to be helping, and cheapening the dollar to the point that some countries are talking about another reserve currency and saddling the next generations with enormous debts.
With his 2,500-page Affordable Care Act he has made it impossible for hundreds of thousands, soon millions, of Americans to keep their individual or employer-sponsored group health insurance; he has stymied American medical innovation with an utterly destructive tax on medical devices; and he has caused hundreds of thousands of workers to lose full-time jobs because of the health-care costs imposed by Obamacare on employers.
His Internal Revenue Service used its unparalleled power to stymie political dissent. No one has been held accountable.
His ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi , Libya . No one has been blamed. The only blame the Obama administration has leveled was on a video maker in California who had nothing to do with the assault.
In this presidents White House the buck stops nowhere.
Among presidents in modern American history,he has also been a uniquely divisive force. It began with his forcing Obamacare through Congress the only major legislation in American history to be passed with no votes from the opposition party.
Though he has had a unique opportunity to do so, he has not only not helped heal racial tensions, he has exacerbated them. His intrusions into the Trayvon Martin affair (If I had a son, hed look like Trayvon) and into the confrontation between a white police officer and a black Harvard professor (the police acted stupidly) were unwarranted, irresponsible, demagogic, and, most of all, divisive.
He should have been reassuring black Americans that America is in fact the least racist country in the world something he should know as well as anybody, having been raised only by whites and being the first (halfbreed) black elected the leader of a white-majority nation. Instead, he echoed the inflammatory speech of professional race-baiters such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. He has also divided the country by economic class, using classic Marxist language against the rich and corporate profits.
Regarding America in the world, he has been, if possible, even more damaging. The United States is at its weakest, has fewer allies, and has less military and diplomatic influence than at any time since before World War II. One wonders if there is a remaining ally nation that trusts him. And worse, no American enemy fears him. If you are a free movement (the democratic Iranian and Syrian oppositions) or a free country ( Israel ),you have little or no reason to believe that you have a steadfast ally in the United States . Even non-democratic allies no longer trust America . Barack Obama has alienated our most important and longest standing Arab allies, Egypt and Saudi Arabia . Both the antiMuslim Brotherhood and the anti-Iran Arab states have lost respect for him. And his complete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq has left that country with weekly bloodbaths.
Virtually nothing Barack Obama has done has left America or the world better since he became president. Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse.
He did, however, promise before the 2008 election that We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America . That is the one promise he has kept.
What does it take for the American people to WAKE UP?

Look at Osama's signature. His sig looks like he has Parkinsons because he knew he lying for at the 2000+ times since he was in office.

He never got us into a war much less one based on pure greed. He's had to deal with obstructionists much like yourself his entire time in office. One would think that the first black president would have many obstacles but I'm sure nobody envisioned this. The man is hated like no other president before him. He's given no respect and it's been that way since the beginning.
If people are asked if they like Obamacare, they state that they hate it, if people are asked if they like the ACA, they're all for it. This has been shown time and again. President Obama has had to pick up the garbage Bush left him like no president has been stuck with.
Begin learning facts instead of talking points from far right wingers and people will take you more seriously.

Who cares what this guy says? Only the uninformed. The only reason that there is so much hate directed towards Mr Obama is because he is the first black president. Just ask Jackie Robinson.

Do you never tire of babbling democratic talking points from 3 year back, talking points that only demonstrate your complete and total lack of intellect?
No you don't ergo you're such an ass.

Maybe, someday, if you are really lucky, if you pull your head out of the sand, if you stop listening to rush limbaugh and prager. you will realize the situation as it really is. RACISM is alive and well and the sooner you realize this fact the better off you will be. I will not call you names as you so easily do to others because that would put me at your level. You are an angry and pathetically sorry individual that cannot see any farther then the end of your nose. OH one more thing, blurreyeyed is a great description for you.

I don't listen to Limbaugh and don't even know who Prager is, but as is the case with many liberals you allow your own bias to control your view of our nation and of the world. The fact of the matter is that Obama has made a mess out of everything, his ACA is still in trouble and no matter how left wing websites try and spin it it still polls upside down with the American people, he has carried our debt to dangerous levels where even the CBO tells us that the interest on debt will begin to squeeze out important and vital service needed by the American people. Our borders are in chaos, our foreign policy is in ruins throughout the world, and you tell me that I am critical of this president because of the color of his skin. You are so full of s&*t silver that your eyes have to be brown.
The fact of the matter is that president Obama after coming to office promising to bring the country together and calm the partisan politics of this country did just the opposite. He and his gang of Chicago ruffians well know the power of minority blocks and he set upon dividing the country in to voting blocks by creating issues where there were none. Funny that he created his war on hispanics, his war on women, but why did the democrats not address the war on blacks? Very simple, Obama already had their votes so he really didn't care too much about them... No, he has set this country against itself only to reap political benefit, he is the worst president that you have seen in your life time, far worse and more feckless than Jimmy Carter... Just look around Silver and tell me what is going right under this president?
Poor Silver, hides behind the internet to call others racists... What an asshole.
