What an incredible list you have submitted. Please don't waste space here any longer. Please take this list with you to any Comedy Store in the country. OMG, it will keep people in hysterical laughing for days on end.
Let's start with your number 29, no indictments in 8 years. Without looking up any of this stuff, but just from memory, a number of people in the Obama Administration lied to Congress, a felony worthy of time in a Federal Prison for Conservatives but just another ho hum day for Liberals. Consider Eric Holder who was held in Contempt of Congress (I will try to deal more with that later), Hillary, Clapper, Brennan, to name a few. When you have weaponized the upper echelon of the CIA and FBI as well as the Attorneys General, there isn't much anyone can do that they can't get away with. So in reality, in a normal law abiding P**********l administration, these people would have been indicted, forced to resign at a minimum. But this was the Obama Administration where nothing serious happened to people who lied to the people.
1. Economists have noted that any bad economy, if left alone, will right itself. Obama's ideas were half baked at best. His shovel ready jobs really weren't at all. Let's not forget Solyndra where Obama gave his friends at Solyndra I believe 150 Million dollars to build the company. Within months or less the company went belly up with no mention of the somewhat large sum of money. I wonder how much Obama's cut of that money was. Just speculating here. Obama flooded the country with money so it would appear that all was well but it wasn't well at all. Just more use of smoke and mirrors.
2. Obamacare! Now you could take just that piece of crap to the Comedy Store by itself. Yes, 20 Million were given insurance but there was some 7 Million that had previously had their own insurance that they paid for that were not able to secure insurance under Obamacare. There were also others who had no insurance under Obamacare. Basically a forced policy down the throats of Americans by a SJW who wanted to insure people who did not pay into the system by people who did pay into the system and who were happy with what they had. But you didn't mention the facts that it was so poorly designed that it took months of fixing before anybody could even get online. You didn't mention that the start up costs of Millions of dollars paid to a company in Canada could have been done more efficiently by a number of American companies who developed start up programs, and for much less money. I wonder how much money Obama and his cronies pocketed from the Canadian company. You know the old Democratic mantra, why build up American companies when building up foreign companies is so much more satisfying.
3. Hmmmm. Ended the war in Iraq. What am I missing here? Aren't we STILL in Iraq?
4. The order to k**l/capture Osama Bin Laden was done by President George Bush. Obama simply allowed that order to be completed. While, yes, it was done on Obama's watch, please don't get all gushy on us by having us think it was Obama who did anything special. Any President in office simply had to say, "OK", and it would have been done by the Seals. Rumor has it that Obama had to be talked into allowing the Seals to complete the mission because Obama was afraid of egg on his face if it failed. What a patriotic guy, huh?
5. Spuring economic growth. I think that looking back it was simply pouring good money after bad but I will let people with more knowledge of economics take that one.
6. Supported the L**T and marriage e******y. Since Bill and Hillary also supported it after years of non support it seems only right that Obama would support it. No big deal there. It meant more v**es for Democrats.
7. Now this one was truly ridiculous. In a nation that has had 0ver 65,000 drug overdoses it seems absolutely stupid to have released over 1200 drug dealers. I am sure you have heard by now that one of those people upon getting out of prison promptly murdered a woman and her two children. I have not looked up the fate of the others who were released but someone should look them up. According to the norms of reciprocity about 65-78% will reoffend and go right back to prison in the near future. There is a reason that people are found guilty and sent to prison. I can guarantee that from my own first hand knowledge. Looking at Obama's reasoning I can only comment, What a dumb ass.
8. Hmmm. Saved the U.S. auto industry. Oh yeah, if you say so. NOT. Let's take just the Cash for Clunkers policy he enacted. Not everyone can afford a new car. Most if not many buy used cars for less money and still have a wonderful well running efficient vehicle. Obama's policy took these perfectly fine used vehicles off the road making it difficult for middle class families to purchase a decent used vehicle. Now good for the middle class.
9. Holy CRAP. You made that one up. It was President Trump who brought about coal mining again, increased oil and gas production so that America is now not only self sufficient but is able to sell those products to other countries.
10. We are still there so that didn't seem to be much of a difference did it?
11. Let's just call it DACA which was not a good idea and you know it. Obama should have gone through Congress for such a decision and I believe the SCOTUS said so.
12. I will let others with more of a financial knowledge talk about that one but as I recall it was not a good decision.
13. With homeless veterans still across America I don't believe that for even a second.
14. The Bush era torture policies were used on one person that I recall and they worked on him to get information. Those policies were on the way out anyway that I recall.
15. Yes he did normalize relations with Cuba and because of it Cuba now allows tourists from America so takes in American money. But other than that, what did we get. The Cubans basically told Obama to shove his relations up his ass.
16. Almost every President has increased Veterans funding. But wasn't it Obama who also took some of that funding back? You also didn't mention the instances of VA centers committing fraud by having two sets of books, one showing veterans getting treatment while the other showed the opposite. Veterans in Arizona died due to these criminal actions yet nobody was ever held accountable. That is the mantra of the Obama Administration, Nobody held accountable, Nobody goes to Prison or loses a job on my watch.
17. I am not positive about what that is so won't comment.
18. I think fuel efficiency had already been established a couple of years earlier saying by such and such a date, vehicles had to be more efficient.
19. Now this one, you, Obama and especially Michelle can all take to a Comedy Store. You have got to be kidding us. This was Michelle's idea and it did nothing to help children or schools. Kids threw that slop in the trash causing at least Millions, maybe Billions of dollars of waste. You must be scraping the barrel.
20. Yes he did do that.
21. Sorry but I don't see that as a big deal. We already had laws against such actions. Simply saying it is a different law because of someone's race, is a step backward in my opinion.
22. Yes, the Iran Nuclear Deal where America was screwed by Iran but Obama made us smile while getting screwed. Nothing changed with Iran and it was nothing positive for America or the rest of the world.
23. I wonder how much good that did as women are still telling us there is a discrepancy in pay between men and women. Also let's not forget that in the Obama White House there was pay discrimination.
24. OMG. That is a big one.
25. Hmmmm. As I recall veterans have been helped the GI Bill since the 1950's at least. I was in the 1960's. No biggie here.
26. Another you can surely get laughs from at any Comedy Store. Nobody except a staunch Liberal would say this is an accomplishment. Obama did get the award but did absolutely nothing to earn it. It was pretty much a, You are the first Black President so here you go. Congratulations. Maybe you could share what exactly Obama did to earn the award. Good luck with that.
27. Holy CRAP, another useless grab at some straw.
28. I will give you that one.
I said I would get back to number 29. Let's talk about the wonderful and Sainted, by the Liberals, Eric Holder.
Are you referring to the Eric Holder who was held in contempt of Congress?
The guy who deemed Fox News’ James Rosen a “threat to national security” and kept him—and his parents—under surveillance?
The guy who lied regarding knowing about “Operation Fast & Furious?”
The guy who blocked the Justice Department investigation of the IRS’ targeting conservative and Tea Party groups?
The guy who blamed the white police officer in the Ferguson before all the evidence was in?
The guy who blocked the Inspector General from accessing documents critical to high-visibility investigations?
The guy who said low-level, drug-related crimes were “discriminatory and destabilizing" and modified the laws relating to them, resulting in the release of 4,800 criminals back onto the streets?
That Eric Holder?
Talking about scandals, you have forgotten all about B******i and Obama's complete refusal to send troops or air support when it was close by and could have saved lives. You have forgotten all about the lying by Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan rice with regard to B******i.
You have forgotten all about Lois Lerner and her IRS attack on Conservatives.
You have forgotten all about the VA scandal where veterans died due to fraudulent records.
You have forgotten all about the scandal involving the partying by the GSA in Las Vegas where $823,000 was spent.
You see, there are lots of scandals in the Obama Administration. It is just that you on the Left call them something different IF you recognize them at all.
