I have been posting on DP since December and have asked in various threads exactly what it is that Obama has done that has made this country stronger economically and safer on the international stage. That answer has been difficult to get because it always ends up diverting to Bush and reverts to a comparison between Bush and Clinton, NOT Obama
It is time for the Obama supporters to face the tough questions thus the topic of this thread.
No matter how many times an Obama supporter blames Bush the reality is we have basic civics which most seem to not understand. Basic civics teaches us all that we have three equal branches of the govt. and two of them are involved in all the legislation. The fact is the legislative branch and executive branch are equally responsible for all the spending and the recession that NBR says began in December 2007. Democrats controlled all legislation from January 2007 and continue to control that legislation today. Problem is they control that legislation today along with the Executive Branch thus have no one to blame for the results today but themselves.
Barack Obama was part of that Congress, he voted for all the spending that liberals are blaming Bush for, and he ran on a hope and change message. Problem is I believe a majority of the American people had a different vision of hope and change than Obama.
Obama's vision of change was the European socialist model where the govt, not the private sector controls everything. There is a portion of America that believes the same thing. Problem is the Campaigner in Chief never told the American people what his vision was and the results today aren't what the people in this country envisioned.
Obama tells the people one thing and does something entirely different. He lied about inheriting a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit and in fact added most of that deficit himself with spending 350 billion of the TARP money, taking over GM/Chrysler, and signing a 862 billion dollar stimulus plan.
He lied about the benefits of that stimulus plan claiming that it would prevent unemployment from exceeding 8% or approximately 11 million unemployed Americans. Since that stimulus plan 4 million more are unemployed and over a million more have dropped out of the labor market, discouraged workers. The labor force has dropped and the unemployment today is worse than it was prior to the stimulus bill, a bill that is now over 1 trillion in cost.
He has participated in a massive expansion in the size of govt. leading to the statement now that there is no such thing as unemployment in the Federal govt. He has passed National Healthcare which does nothing to improve the quality or quantity of healthcare for the people but instead will mandate coverage for all Americans which will be paid for by a tax that he claimed he would never impose on people making less than 250,000 per year. It puts added burden on private business which will refuse to hire people due to that added cost.
His lack of executive experience is quite telling. Management 101 teaches that you can never delegate responsibility and that is all he does. He has created dozens of Czars and when they fail it is their fault not his. Every other day he blames Bush and that only fuels the anti Bush crowd but diverts from the reality of what he is doing. He was hired to "clean up" the mess the media and those with Bush Derangement Syndrome claim he was left but all he has done is make it worse and do his best to dismantle the best economic model in the nation by promoting class envy and wealth redistribution. The buck stops with you, President Obama, you helped create the mess we are in and you are doing very llittle to get us out of it. Your policies are creating unsustainable debt and massive intervention of govt. into the private sector.
Now I could go on but the questions for Obama supporters deserves answers. I look forward to having Obama supporters telling me where I am wrong.
