• $6 trillion in new national debt under Obama…after he promised to decrease
the deficit.
The corrupt President Barack Obama.

• Obamacare —
A massive and incredibly convoluted bill which exponentially
increases the federal government’s control over our personal lives…which neither
Obama nor a single Democrat even read before passing, and which will likely
bankrupt the nation.
• In both the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, the Obama campaign
purposely disabled the credit card verification system for its Web site
donations, allowing anyone from any foreign country to donate with no limit and
no proof of identity; in both elections it was demonstrated that people overseas
and people with obviously false identities were able to donate to Obama
campaign, in direct violation of several laws. To this day it is not known what
percentage of Obama’s campaign funds are illegally obtained, since there is no
documentation.
• Billions of taxpayer dollars gambled on “green” companies like Solyndra,
NextEra, Ener1, Solar Trust and many others — all of which went bankrupt.
• An intentional refusal to enforce federal immigration laws.
• Unemployment at or above 8% for almost his entire term in office (which was
actually closer to 15% actual unemployment).
• Operation Fast & Furious — a government-sponsored illegal gun-running
scheme designed to purposely go awry so as to induce public outcry for gun
control.
• Spent 20 years listening to a racist anti-American pastor (Rev. Jeremiah
Wright), whom Obama described as a mentor. On March 18, 2008, Obama gave a
speech in which he said “I could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than I could
disown my own grandmother” and “[Wright's church, Trinity United] embodies the
black community in its entirety.” Now Obama tries to pretend that Jeremiah
Wright doesn’t exist, and that his extremist anti-white philosophy didn’t
influence Obama’s worldview.
• Increased the percentage of Americans dependent on food stamps to
unprecedented levels (now over 15% of the nation’s population).
• Militarily intervened in Libya in 2011 without the Congressional approval
required by the War Powers Act — technically an impeachable offense.
• Before he entered politics, Obama worked as a lawyer suing banks in
landmark cases, forcing them to give home loans to unqualified minority
borrowers — a practice now understood as one of the primary initial causes of
the eventual housing bubble and market collapse.
• Handed out over 1,200 waivers to politically connected donors exempting
them from the onerous requirements of Obamacare.
• Greatly expanding the number of unaccountable “czars,” which essentially
amounts to unilaterally adding new federal departments with no congressional
oversight — leading to a true “bureaucracy” in the original sense (rule by
unelected bureaucrats).
• Using taxpayer dollars to bail out the private pension funds of
autoworkers’ unions at GM & Chrysler.
• Illegally ending the welfare-to-work requirements passed by Congress.
• Doling out $800 billion in stimulus cash for “shovel-ready” jobs that
didn’t exist — the money just evaporated with no measurable economic
benefit.
• Alienating and isolating Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East.
• Apologizing to Islamists and terrorists for offending them.
• Under Obama’s watch, for the first time in history America’s credit rating
was downgraded, due to his poor economic policies.
• Stopped American oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, allowing other nations
with worse environmental records to drill instead — thereby managing to both
weaken our economy and damage the environment simultaneously.
• Proposed in 2008 to intentionally bankrupt the coal industry — and now lies
to voters and workers in coal-producing regions about his true intent.
• Pretends to be concerned about skyrocketing energy prices, when in fact he
vowed to increase them on purpose (so as to make alternative energy schemes more
competitive.)
• In a primary debate against Hillary Clinton in 2008, Obama said he would
never force people to buy health insurance, since those without it couldn’t
afford to buy it. Less than two years later, he rammed through Obamacare, which
does indeed force people to buy health insurance.
• During the 2008 campaign, Obama repeatedly promised that if he was elected
“No family making less than $250,000 will see any form of tax increase.” This
promise was broken over and over again once he was elected.
• In 2008 Obama vowed if elected to increase security along the U.S.-Mexican
border — and then in 2010 stopped construction of a “virtual fence” on the
border and re-routed money earmarked for border security to other projects.
• Cash for Clunkers, which doled out taxpayer money to anyone who wanted to
replace their old cars, but which mostly only ended up subsidizing the puchase
of foreign-made cars by people who could have afforded them on their own anyway;
meanwhile, the traded-in cars were all destroyed, creating a shortage and
thereby increasing the cost of used cars, hurting the pocketbooks of poor
people.
• Violated the U.S. Constitution by authorizing assassinations and drone
strikes to kill American citizens abroad — without due process.
• Was caught on a “hot mike” promising the President of Russia that he would
cave in to their demands for a weaker missile shield — after he was re-elected
and no longer had to keep up the pretense that he sought to defend America.
• Appointed Van Jones, a former avowed communist who supported a “9/11 Truth”
petition, to be “Green Jobs Czar.”
• Appointed Anita Dunn, who said Chairman Mao was her “favorite philosopher,”
to be White House Communications Director.
• Appointed John Holdren, who perviously entertained the notion of forced
mass sterilzation to stop overpopulation, to be Science Czar.
• Appointed Steven Chu, who openly advocated an artificial increase in
gasoline prices to $10/gallon (and similar increases in other energy prices) to
be Secretary of Energy.
• Appointed Kevin Jennings, who led a group that promoted X-rated
“sex-positive” textbooks for 13-year-olds, instructed teenagers at a conference
how to perform “fisting” (anal penetration by fists), who refused to report
instances of statutory rape, and who expressed admiration for a member of
NAMBLA, to be America’s “Safe School’s Czar.”
• When states voted to enforce the federal immigration laws which the federal
government refused to enforced, Obama sued to stop them.
• Blocked continued construction of the Keystone Pipeline, thereby
intentionally reducing energy resources for the US and forcing Canada to sell
more of its oil to China.
• Repeatedly changed his position on gay marriage over the years, depending
on what was politically expedient at the moment and which intended audience he
was addressing.
• Before he was president, Obama staunchly opposed raising the national debt
limit — but once elected, he insisted that it be raised.
• When giving a 2009 speech in France that he must have assumed Americans
would never hear, he described the United States as “arrogant” and “dismissive”
(while also criticizing Europe elsewhere in the speech).
• When states tried to stop election fraud with voter ID laws, Obama sued to
prevent them from doing so.
• Instructed Attorney General Eric Holder to stonewall any investigation into
the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers.
• Promised in 2008 that once elected he would officially recognize the
Armenian Genocide; but to this date he has still failed to do so, caving in to
threats and pressure from Turkey.
• Vowed to end the influence of lobbyists in Washington, but under Obama’s
watch their influence has only increased.
• When he was first running for President, Obama promised, “I will not sign
any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to
review and comment on the White House website for five days.” Needless to say,
he has broken that promise with almost every bill he has signed since.
• Aided and abetted the “Arab Spring” which deposed existing secular
governments across North Africa, leading to a regional power vacuum which was
filled by Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other hardline Islamists.
• Refused to provide assistance or support the the earlier secular Iranian
democracy uprising, allowing them to be crushed by the Islamic fundamentalist
Iranian regime.
• In his first months in office, Obama bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia, the
president of China, the Emperor of Japan, and President of Mexico, among
others.
• Ordered NASA to make one of its top priorities not space exploration or
scientific research but “Muslim outreach.”
• Used Obamacare as a pretext to greatly increase the size and power of the
IRS (which was given 16,000 new agents and additional mandates to penalize
taxpayers for noncompliance).
• Used the IRS to harass conservative businesses.
• In the GM bailout, he illegally shortchanged investors who according to
bankruptcy laws were first in line to be recompensed; instead, he gave their
share to the unions.
• Shut down oil drilling in the US, but then turned around and lent $2
billion to Brazil to support their government-controlled oil-drilling effort —
and then promised the US would become one of Brazil’s biggest oil customers.
• Sued Boeing in an effort to control where businesses could locate, kowtow
to the unions, and block the creation of 1,000 jobs in South Carolina, a
right-to-work (i.e. no forced unionization) state.
• Adopted a longstanding Socialist political slogan, “Forward!”, as his 2012
campaign motto.
• Sent insulting form letters to the familes of dead SEALs.
• Neither disavowed nor distanced himself from anti-Romney campaign ads which
threatened or implied violence against Republicans.
• Shortly after the recent eruption of anti-American violence in North
Africa, Obama went to Las Vegas to do his debate preparation in a hotel…with a
romanticized North Africa theme.
• Said in an interview that the Muslim call to prayer was “one of the
prettiest sounds on earth at sunset.”
• Union boss and far-left activist Andy Stern has visitied Obama in the White
House at least 53 times, at last count — greater access than any other private
citizen.
• Hosted at the White House many Islamist members of groups associated with
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
• Sponsored performances by and attended fundraisers with radical rappers
like Michael Franti and Common, both of whose lyrics have in some cases been
anti-police, anti-white, and anti-America.
• Hired Timothy Geithner, who is documented as cheating on his own personal
taxes, to be Secretary of the Treasury.
• Told Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher that it was good to “spread the wealth
around.”
• Told small business owners nationwide in a 2012 speech that “you didn’t
build that” — implying that they should not claim credit for their own success,
since taxpayers (i.e. themselves and other business owners) had funded the
national infrastructure.
• Insulted the British people by rudely returning to them a bust of Churchill
which previously had been a ceremonial gift on display at the White House; when
later confronted on this inexplicable action, he lied about it.
• Canceled plans to complete a missile defense shield in Poland, a move which
was highly praised by Russia — the very nation whose missile threat would have
been neutralized if the shield had been completed.
• By loudly publicizing (for personal political gain) the identity of exact
SEAL teams who had killed Osama bin Laden, Obama made them a target for
reprisals by Islamists; a short time later 22 SEALS were shot down and killed in
Afghanistan, their worst loss of life ever.
• Established an extra-Constitutional top secret “kill list” of people
(including Americans) Obama claims the right to kill on sight, and then bragged
about it publicly.
• Set up a special email account, “Flag@Whitehouse.gov,” to which Americans
were supposed to inform the government of anyone they heard spreading
“disinformation” about Obama’s health care overhaul. (This was the first of
three different “spy on your friends and neighbors” programs.)
• “Attack Watch” was Obama’s second Big Brother attempt, a Web site on which
you would report “attacks” on Obama’s proposals and ideology; it was quickly
shut down due to outrage and mockery.
• Finally, Obama set up the “Truth Team” program which encouraged citizens to
report to the government any friends or relatives they hear repeating “lies”
about Obama. The Truth Team site still exists.
• Twisted the arms of defense contractors to not issue layoff notices in
early November, so as to avoid causing bad news for Obama right before the
election — even though federal law (the “WARN Act”) requires such notices.
• After the attacks on American interests in North Africa on September 11,
2012, Obama gave a speech to the U.N. and declared “The future must not belong
to those who slander The Prophet of Islam” — transferring the blame from the
attackers onto the makers of a film trailer that supposedly “offended” the
Islamists.
• Repeatedly snubbed and got into public tiffs with Benjamin Netanyahu, who
as the leader of Israel is supposed to be Obama’s closest colleague in
international affairs.
• On May 19, 2011, Obama told Israel they must return to the 1967 borders as
a pre-condition for continuing talks with the Palestinians — even though the
status of the borders was the main issue the talks were supposed to address.
• Encouraged politically biased hiring practices in the Justice
Department.
• Soon after taking office, Obama rescinded the “Mexico City Policy,” which
previously had banned NGOs which are supported by American taxpayer funds from
using those funds to perform abortions in foreign countries.
• Attempted to force returning veterans to pay huge increases for their
health coverage…as a way to generate more funding for his Obamacare
provisions.
• In June of 2011, he anointed his own underage daughters as “senior staff
members” so that their vacation to Africa would be paid for with taxpayer
money.
• Interviews with high school classmates revealed that Obama was a heavy and
frequent user of marijuana in his teenage years (not to mention his
self-admitted cocaine use in college).
• Played over 100 rounds of golf during his first three years in office,
meaning that he was on the links close to 10% of the days he has been
president.
• Voted to allow post-birth abortions (i.e. facilitating the deaths of babies
who survive late-term abortions) not just once but three times in a row as an
Illinois state senator.
• The pastor whom Obama selected to give the national benediction at his 2009
inauguration recently declared that “all white people are going to Hell.”
• Sided with Hugo Chavez and the Castro regime regarding the Honduran
Constitutional Crisis of 2009, the first time ever that the U.S. formed a
political alliance with socialist governments in Latin America.
• Obama Administration OKed the nomination of Chas Freeman to chair the
National Intelligence Council (which coordinates intelligence reports from all
government agencies), despite the fact that he was openly hostile to Israel and
strongly favored Arabist goals. (He later withdrew under pressure.)
• Chinese pianist Lang Lang played an offensively anti-American song at a
2011 White House dinner where Obama hosted Chinese president Hu Jintao, to the
delight and amazement of the communist Chinese visitors, while Obama just sat
there and smiled (the song’s Chinese lyrics describe Americans as “warmongering
jackals”).
• There was a great deal of (still unverified) suspicion that the company
LightSquared received favorable treatment from the Obama administration for
approval of its broadband technology which interfered with the GPS system; an
Air Force general claimed he was pressured by the Obama administration to
downplay his criticism of LightSquared’s technology in sworn testimony.
• Obama’s Department of Energy awarded $529 million to Fisker Automotive to
build their Karma hybrid electric cars — even though they are manufactured in
Finland, cost over $100,000 each, and tend to explode.
• When Inspector General Gerald Walpin discovered during a 2009 investigation
that one of Obama’s political allies (the mayor of Sacramento) was misusing
government funds for personal gain, Obama unceremoniously fired Walpin — even
though rooting out fraud was the job description of the Inspector General.
Barack Obama is undergoing a historic collapse in
approval ratings.
• More than once Obama made so-called “recess appointments” when the Senate
was not actually in recess, which directly violates Constitutional rules about
how appointments must be made; in each case it was his way of getting his
political allies into certain key positions without them being vetted or
approved by the Senate, as required.
• After Nidal Malik Hasan massacred 13 people at Fort Hood while shouting
“Allahu Akbar” so as to become a martyr for Islam, the Obama administration
refused to classify his action as “terrorism” and instead deemed it merely
“workplace violence.”
• Despite the fact that the Falkland Islands have been part of Great Britain
since 1833 and that Great Britain is supposed to be our strongest ally, Obama
essentially sided with Argentina in its new claim on the Falklands, not only by
adopting the Argentine position that their status is open to negotiation, but
even by (attempting to) refer to the islands by their Spanish name
(Malvinas).
• Convened the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform
(a.k.a. the Simpson-Bowles commission) in order to address a major economic
crisis…and then summarily dismissed and ignored their recommendations.
• Criticized the Supreme Court’s legal reasoning (about the Citizen’s United
decision) during a State of the Union address, which many considered a dangerous
precedent as it appeared to place political pressure on the court, violating the
Constitution’s separation of powers; but his bullying seems to have later paid
off, when the Supreme Court apparently altered its Obamacare decision so as to
not ruffle any political feathers.
• On April 27, 2009, Obama’s staff (possibly at his direction) ordered Air
Force One to make an unnecessary very low flight over part of Manhattan and the
Statue of Liberty, which many residents mistakenly assumed must be a second 9/11
attack in progress; turned out that it was just a stunt to get a photo op of
Obama’s plane next to the Statue of Liberty.
• Obama somehow managed to insert mentions of himself into the official
biographies of earlier presidents on the White House Web site — even presidents
from the 19th century. After public outcry, the narcissistic Obama mentions were
quietly removed without comment.
• Intentionally misquotes the Declaration of Independence in speeches, often
leaving out the words “by their Creator” in the famous passage “…are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights,” which Obama instead has recited
as “…are endowed with certain unalienable rights.”
• In June of 2009, Obama’s Solicitor General (and now Supreme Court Justice)
Elena Kagan filed a legal brief to prevent the families of 9/11 victims from
appealing their lawsuits against the Saudi royal family for financing the 9/11
attacks.
• The 2009 National Christmas Tree in the White House was decorated with
ornaments depicting Chairman Mao, a drag queen, and a picture of Mount Rushmore
that included Obama’s own head next to George Washington’s.
• Compelled Catholic and other religious organizations to provide health
plans with free contraception, even though such requirements violate their
rights of religious freedom and conscience.
• It was revealed only after Obama became president that during the 1990s he
was a leading member of the “New Party,” a socialist-aligned far-left radical
group in Chicago.
• Lied about his close associations with former Weather Underground terrorist
Bill Ayers; pretended the two barely knew each other, when multiple sources
document they were friends and close colleagues for years.
• When Obama was inaugurated as President on January 20, 2009, he at first
flubbed the oath of office, so he had to re-take it behind closed doors for his
inauguration to be valid. He did so, but during this second, true inauguration
in private, he purposely failed to place his hand on a Bible, as is traditional
— the first president ever to not swear the oath of office on the Bible.
• Obama’s own author bio in his literary agent’s catalog and on their Web
site stated for 17 consecutive years that he was born in Kenya; this claim
remained intact despite other portions of the bio being altered and updated
repeatedly. It was only in 2007 after he decided to run for the presidency that
the “born in Kenya” claim was taken down. The original info must necessarily
have come from Obama himself; some theorize he likely falsely claimed foreign
birth in order to gain admission or scholarships in college, and never bothered
to fix his lie.
• After winning the 2008 election but before being sworn in, Obama
bombastically concocted the official-seeming “Office of the President-Elect” as
if it was some kind of real government department; in fact, it was just a
self-congratulatory title he made up to look important before he actually became
president.
• Obama administration came up with the bizarre euphemism “man-caused
disasters” to describe acts of terrorism — because he wants to downplay
terrorism as a significant political issue.
• For three years in a row his official budget proposals to Congress received
exactly zero votes — not even a single vote from Democrats.
• Relied on an Islamic fundamentalist militia group called “The Martyrs of
the February the 17th Revolution Brigade” to provide security at the American
mission in Benghazi — and they not only failed to prevent the attack but perhaps
even joined in on it.
• During the debate over Obamacare in 2009, Obama bluntly stated that doctors
like to perform amputations rather than practice preventive medicine for no
other reason than that they make a greater profit from amputations. The American
College of Surgeons demanded an apology, which never arrived.
• Since 2008 the Los Angeles Times has been in possession of a videotape
showing Obama honoring and praising anti-Western anti-Israel academic Edward
Said, but they have steadfastly refused to release it to this day, for no
discernible reason other than their belief it would damage Obama’s
reputation.
• When the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe recently held
a conference on human rights, Obama sent an American representative — Salam
al-Marayati, a Truther who blamed Israel for the 9/11 attacks and who also
praises Hezbollah and Hamas. To the nations of Europe, al-Marayati spoke for all
Americans on the topic of human rights.
• Obama’s Department of Homeland Security specifically warned that Americans
who are “dedicated to a
single issue, such as opposition to abortion or
immigration” are potential terrorists, as are libertarian-minded voters who
“favor of state or local authority” over centralized power. These “rightwing
extremists” (who hold political beliefs shared by a majority of Americans) are
deemed a greater threat to the nation than actual revolutionaries or
jihadists.
• While campaigning in 2008 Obama declared that it was “unpatriotic” that
Bush had increased the national debt at a rate of half a trillion dollars per
year; but under Obama the rate of national debt increase has accelerated to
almost three times the Bush rate ($6 trillion in new debt in under four years) —
yet Obama has never apologized nor declared himself unpatriotic.
• For decades, every president has attended a “daily intelligence briefing”
which updates him on critical world events each morning. Obama has skipped 60%
of his daily intelligence briefings, including the ones leading up to the attack
in Benghazi.
