I don’t trust Barack Obama.  I believe he dislikes the United States of America, and that he’s working as hard as he can to destroy the country I love.  His actions, policies, and speeches reinforce my viewpoint.  As Glenn Beck often says, I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.  If any readers care to present an opposing viewpoint I’d be happy to have the conversation.

My overall opinion of Barack Obama is that he talks like a heavyweight fighter, but he needs to gain weight to be a featherweight.  The man is an empty suit when it comes to doing the job for which he took the oath of office in January 2009.

Having insulted and accused the Chosen One, it’s time to present some facts that support my position.

How is Obama trying to destroy the U.S.A.?  He supports special interest groups, many of whom are on record as being against our rule of law.  Start with his support of unions; his actions and the unions’ publicly stated intent is detrimental, if not illegal.  The Chrysler and GM bailouts accomplished nothing except to fund union pension plans.  What about all the other pension plans that the busted economy destroyed?  Why are unions any more important that anyone else?  For starters their leaders support the Obama agenda and want to turn the U.S.A. into a European socialist democracy.  We call them Progressives, elsewhere they are call socialists.  Remember the only groups that benefited from the government bailouts were unions.  Bondholders were pushed to the back of the line when established bankruptcy law said they should be paid first.  The President and his administration violated establish law to benefit the unions.

Bailing out large financial institutions benefitted European banks.  These ill-conceived projects were started by George Bush, so Obama is not the only one to blame, but the Chosen One has taken support of these special interests to new heights.  Remember the vitriol that spewed from the President and Democratic leaders of Congress when it became known that bonuses that were legal and contractual would be paid?

Remember how those who would receive the bonuses were vilified?  Of course we never heard of the bonuses paid to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives, many of which were larger than the private sector bonuses Obama made so much of.  Could it be that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were supporting the Obama-lead progressive movement, and in their world the end always justifies the means?  It seems, to this administration, it’s more who you support than what laws you break.

Health care (actually healthcare insurance) is another of the debacles the Obaminator has visited on us.  Huge majorities of the American public were and still are against it, yet he pushed, weaseled, cajoled, and bribed that bill into existence.  Princess Nancy Pelosi told us they’d have to pass the bill before we could see what is in it.  Well, we’ve had some time to look, and the final product is worse than we originally thought.  Based on faulty logic, providing diminished care at higher cost, hiding costs to make it seem better than it is, and handing us more European-style socialism, this bill is a power grab and nothing more.  It won’t improve health care, and in fact will make it worse.  We were told the health care bill would provide us with a system like the U.K. and Canada have.  That’s not a great endorsement in my book.

Then there are the facts about Canadian health care we see in the news.  Surprise!  Canada is looking to change their system because it doesn’t work and is bankrupting that country.  That’s a model I’d sure support if I were an imbecile.

The oil spill in the gulf is a prime example of talking-the-talk, but not knowing how to walk, or not walking because the disaster supports your plan to destroy the U.S.A.  There’s a great article you should read.  There’s really little left to say about the oil spill except that incompetence on the part of the President and his administration is responsible for any damage to the wetlands and beaches, and of course the economy, of the gulf coast.

He may not have been able to prevent the explosion that caused the leak, but his inaction has made the results orders of magnitude worse.  Remember, his people had over a year to solve, or at least identify, the problems at the Minerals Management Service.  MMS’ inaction and allowing BP to use sub-standard processes to drill the well makes Obama complicit if not responsible for the explosion.

The totality of his and his administration’s actions in 17 months has been to weaken the United States, destroy our economy, leave our borders unsecured, and to assist in the Progressive/Socialist takeover he is working for.

It’s too bad a president’s term can’t be reduced for bad behavior the way a prisoner’s can for good behavior.

If that were the case, We the People would be rid of Obama already.
