Liberal Damage To America

By Douglas V. Gibbs

When you consider what has happened over the last two years, when it comes to the liberal Democrat agenda, it is easy to consider that during my lifetime, I never expected this much damage to this country in such a short time.

President Obama, and the Congressional Democrats, have doubled the national debt in two short years - an amount equal to the total national debt accumulated before 2009, which took more than two centuries to accumulate. But Barack Obama and the Democrats don't want to stop there. They have also proposed to double the debt again within ten years.

And then when you bring all of that spending up, the typical liberal says, "Well, Bush did it too!"

Yeah, but compared to Obama's, Bush's was a mere thimble-full.

Arizona came up with their own immigration law because the federal government isn't willing to enforce the laws on the books. Obama criticized the Arizona immigration law after admitting that he had never read the thing. Then Obama sued Arizona for its immigration law, in the hopes of forcing Arizona to allow illegal immigration.

Obama criticized Arizona for a law he never read, sued Arizona for a law he never read, all because he believes that the existing laws regarding immigration should not be enforced.

Could you imagine if Bush had done such a thing?

Barack Obama has proclaimed the country has 57 states, says "uh" more than any other president in history, misspelled "Advice" in a letter to a fan, made a joke about the Special Olympics on the Jay Leno show, referenced a non-existent "Austrian" language, released a jobs report claiming he saved or created more than 650,000 jobs in districts that didn't exist, said that the Massachusetts Police "Acted Stupidly" in the arrest of a Harvard Professor, and that the way to pronounce "Navy Corpsman" is "corpseman." The leftist media gave him a bye, despite the fact they called Bush dumb because of his speaking style, and ruined Dan Quail's political career because he misspelled potato.

Obama put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have among the best safety records of any industry because a foreign company had an accident. The federal courts have told him his move was unconstitutional, and he has refused to lift the moratorium even in the face of rising oil prices.

Bush would have been crucified for such a move.

Barry has shown that he needs a teleprompter to speak to anyone, including grade school kids, but when his teleprompter is not present, the inability to communicate is astounding.

And these leftists said Bush was not a good communicator.

Obama spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to send his First Lady to a play in NYC, spent the taxpayers money so that he and Biden could go out for a burger, golfed more in his first year than Bush did in his entire eight years in office, has vacationed continuously, and spent an untold amount of taxpayer money so his wife could visit Spain - wrapping it all up with a huge Motown party at the White House, but inviting only one Motown star.

If Obama was Bush, Michael Moore would have had to made a double feature.

Obama reduced retirement plan holding of GM stock by 90%, and gave the unions a majority stake in the company. Then, after claiming the government had not taken over GM, he fired the CEO with no constitutional authority to do such a thing.

Fascism is too polite of a term to describe his despicable actions.

Barack Obama has filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, and many of the others have been self-proclaimed hardline communists.

Yet the leftists made Hitler comparisons to Bush.

The president made a five minute speech in Denmark about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, and then the Olympics was given to Rio.

Hmmm, can anyone say raging narcissist?

After chastising Americans for only speaking English, when the rest of the world speaks many languages, Obama referred to Cinco de Mayo as "Cinco de Cuatro," and then he flubbed it up a second time trying to correct himself.

Obama burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, and his administration okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people (followed by a jet fighter) over downtown Manhattan less than a decade after 9/11, and then wondered why everyone was upset.

Barack Obama failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest, which left more people killed and homeless than Katrina did in New Orleans.

Obama has 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate, and they have the power to regulate.

And all of this is only after his first two years as president. . .
