"Obama and His Record"

Most people like to be lauded for their accomplishments; it’s nice to hear people say good things about you. In grade school, young children often get “stars” on their early work, before they begin receiving regular grades, and refrigerators are covered with a plethora of drawings and dot pictures displayed by proud parents. The further each child progresses, the more awards and accomplishments we keep as a reminder of their achievements. The walls of my home are decorated with graduation pictures from grade school through grad school of my wonderful daughter; I maintain proud parenthood to this day! I have her trophies from high school athletics and her membership cards from the National Honor Society; at times I think this embarrasses her, but I DON’T CARE!! She has an impressive list of credits to her name, and I believe she will continue on this path; although I may be a bit prejudiced.

We are having two conventions this week from both of the major political parties. I have been spending some time talking about Mitt Romney, and why I believe he is the best choice for America this November. I believe his accomplishments and his values are best suited to lead America out of these dark times.

Barack Obama, the incumbent President, will get the nomination of the Democrat Party; there is no chance of anything else happening there. Mr. Obama will once again have Joe Biden as his running mate, and there is no chance of anything else happening there (sorry America). Thus far, Mr. Obama’s campaign has done little to deal with the actual issues of this election, and spent most of the time trying to give reasons why Mitt Romney isn’t qualified to be President of the United States. Economists, by and large, feel Romney is our best chance to pull out of this horrendous fiscal mess, and further debt from the government would be completely unwise; and the economy is the NUMBER ONE ISSUE.

Let’s look at the last 45 months of Barack Hussein Obama’s term as President.

THE GREEN INITIATIVE: On this issue, America has suffered immensely because of bad investments that have cost us BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. SOLYNDRA is probably the most famous of these debacles, but it is only one in a list that is so long I would have to write an additional article just for them.

CASH FOR CLUNKERS: Perhaps one of the most damaging programs that the working poor have had to deal with since Obama took power. Those people who have lost full time jobs and are forced to make ends meet by taking two or three part-time jobs, have had their ability to purchase an affordable means of transportation taken away from them. The $2500 to $5000 automobile has vanished, along with the safety issues of driving a car that is too old, because some people can’t spend $6000+ on a vehicle. Mr. Obama doesn’t realize that $7.25 an hour won’t sustain a car payment!

NATIONAL DEFENSE: The worst thing Mr. Obama has done is endorsing the START treaty, a calculated rollback of our nuclear defenses to a level equivalent of the 1950s. Mr. Obama has taken every opportunity he could to weaken and reduce our nuclear arsenal, and has made veiled promises to Russia about further reductions after the November election.

UNEMPLOYMENT: America is suffering from the worst period of under employment and unemployment since the Great Depression. Levels of unemployment remain above 8.4% today and the economic outlook points toward a possible slowdown again if Obama’s policies remain in effect. Number shuffling and “creative math” are the only way Obama has been able to try to show some progress, which is minimal at best.

USAMA BIN LADEN: This is the only “bright spot” of the current administration and Obama wants to “steal the spotlight” for his own political purpose; not very Presidential as I see it.

CLASS WARFARE: During the course of the last 45 months, race has been used as an issue to describe nearly all criticism of the Obama Administration, with very little foundation in fact. This policy has caused more harm to race relations in this country that only the “Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan” could have caused more division than Barack Obama. Mr. Obama has made business the villain in his “redistribution philosophy”, when business is the only arena that will create a lasting economic recovery. The philosophy of “blame those who succeed” is foolishness; they provide the jobs!

BORDER SECURITY: This issue has been given nothing but lip service by this administration, which has instead made it easier for criminal illegal aliens to remain in America, and become a draw on benefits to which they should not be entitled.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT: In all of my years of life, I have never seen a more inadequate excuse for a Justice Department than this one. This department is under two separate Congressional Investigations, and has proven itself to be nothing more than a political tool for the Obama Administration.

This is perhaps the longest article which I have ever written in regards to the President, yet I feel there is so much more we need to say about what has transpired in Washington since January of 2009. We still have unanswered questions about President Obama’s life before his national prominence; things that have been kept hidden from the people and they give me great concern about who Mr. Obama really is, even after these several years. I encourage all of my readers to pursue as much information as you can before November. Mr. Obama’s record SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!
