Obama is a bad President. Don’t believe me? I’ll back it up with a short list for you.
Reasons Obama is a terrible President:
- Promised to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, then had the DOJ defend the Defense of Marriage Act in federal court. Source
- Signed NDAA into law authorizing indefinite detentions of US citizens in Guantanamo Bay Source
- Obama administration contracted Blackwater for quarter of a million worth of work. Source
- More than half of Obama’s largest contributors (500k or more) were given an administration job. Hello patronage and nepotism. Source
- Loaned Solyndra over half a billion taxpayer money when it was already known the company was planning layoffs and later would go bankrupt. Source
- Obama has expanded into over 75 countries secret forces operations, including secret prisons and drone attacks. Source
- Obama has intensified proxy war in Somalia Source
- Expanded use of Drone attacks in Pakistan; including targeting a funeral for a person suspected of murder and targeting first aid responders. Source, Source
- Assassinated three American citizens Source
- Met secretly with health care executives for assistance in formulating Obamacare Source
- Appointed Eric Holder to Attorney General, registered lobbyist until 2004 Source
- Appointed Vilsack to Secretary of Agriculture, lobbyist for NEA (Public School Union) as late as 2008 Source
- Appointed William Lynn to Defense Secretary, Raytheon lobbyist Source
- Geithner’s chief of staff is a Goldman Sachs lobbyist Source
- Obama appointed Geithner Secretary of the Treasury, he is former President of NY Fed Source
- Political Affairs Director Gaspard was lobbyist for SEIU (Union). Source
- Appointed Michael Taylor to be Deputy Commissioner of FDA, former Monsanto executive Source
- Signed executive order to allow CIA to continue renditions. Source
- Obama has secretive government, denying more FOIA requests than Bush Source
- 30 companies, including McDonalds, exempted from healthcare reform. Source
- Obama opposed allowing importation of cheap drugs from other countries to appease health care executives. Source
- Current Chief of Staff, Jacob Lew, was the former COO of Citigroup’s alternative investments division (he invested in derivatives market). Source
- Former Chief of Staff, Bill Daley, was Vice Chairman at J.P. Morgan Source
- Wasted billions on Cash for Clunkers, subsidizing car market and driving up prices of used vehicle market. Source, Source
- Obama failed to get a budget passed for over 2 years. Source
- Made recess appointments to the NLRB when Congress was not on recess. Source
- The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) cost $900 billion and did not lower unemployment. (below is Obama Administration projections vs. reality)
- Obama extended federally funded unemployment benefits 73 weeks, bringing the total to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits. Source
- Obama bailed out auto industry, represents moral hazard and corporatism Source
DISCLAIMER:
- I realize some of these are more important than others, obviously passing the NDAA and allowing the indefinite detention of American citizens is exponentially worse than appointing lobbyist Holder.
- Do not assume I agree with Bush or another politician because I disagree with Obama.
- I am opposed to corruption, corporatism, interventionist wars, secrecy, and policies destroying our liberties.
