It pains me to see the glorification of Obama. I mean, what cave has Obama lovers been living in? How about we actually take Obama’s critics into consideration and think about why they criticize him before we call them cave dwellers.
• Obama created 13.7 million jobs… or was that the free market working it’s magic? Either way, unless it was government jobs then they don’t count.
• Obama loves communist Cuba, even though Cubans apparently do not.
• Obamacare gives cheap health care to millions while taxing non-health-care recipients into oblivion so they can’t get their own health care. (Irony?)
• Obama killed Osama bin Laden, or was it Seal Team 6?
• Obama sticks it to terrorists by going to a climate change summit rather than fighting them. I mean, had he not pulled the troops out of Iraq, there wouldn’t have been a problem.
• Obama creates a nuclear treaty with Iran because, you know, they are totally trustworthy. Remember 1979?
• Adding on to the point above, Iran has expressed their desire to destroy our ally Israel.
• Obama added more to the national debt than all other presidents before him.
• Obama did nothing but watch as Vladimir Putin carved up the Ukraine.
• Obama seeks gun control even though gun control did nothing to stop the Paris attack or any other massacre.
• Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton even though she broke federal law by disclosing classified information on her personal email, which was sent to us by foreign nations. Just look up what happened to David Petraeus and you tell me what’s OK about this endorsement. So in short Obama has endorsed a criminal to be his successor.
• Obama has cracked down on waterboarding because terrorists deserve compassion and love, not punishment for their crimes.
Those are just some of Obama’s great failures. Oh, and just for good measure, Obama is just as bad an obstructionist as Congress is. Just remember, the people who say “thanks Obama!” are probably just joking, because that’s what Obama’s tenure has been. A joke.
