Top 20+ Reasons I Despise Obama, A Retrospective

The blind loyalty of many democrats, and nearly all progressives, as evidenced by the numbers of those currently defending Obama in the midst of his scandalpalousa got me thinking about how much I truly despise him for reasons I can easily point to, and can back with actual evidence. What follows is a blog post I wrote back on August 6, 2012, long before I began writing here for Joe.

Since then, absolutely nothing has happened to change my mind. In fact, everything that has occurred since I wrote this has only reinforced my belief that Barack Obama is probably The Worst President this country has ever seen, and is by leaps and bounds, absolutely the worst president to ever win a reelection. If I were writing this list now, I would have a few other major topics to include:: Benghazi, IRS, DOJ, EPA


I have seen numerous lists of “accomplishments” that Obama has been credited with while in office, varying from 10-200+ “accomplishments”. As an educated, semi-intelligent person, I have tried to review those lists with an open mind, even though at the outset I know I will disagree with the conclusion drawn by the author. Some of their assertions, while few, I concede may have some merit. However, many of those lists, especially the higher numbered lists, include the same item listed as high as 20 times, just worded differently. Many other things cited on those high numbered lists are not actually accomplishments, but “He worked toward (fill in the blank)” statements, which means tried but did not succeed. All of these lists that I have seen have one thing in common, statements made by the author, but no offer of substance to back those claims.

Here is my list of the top reasons I DESPISE Obama, with links to just a few sources which I offer as evidence supporting my statement.

1.

It also shows far more people leaving the workforce than jobs that were created, which were created during the summer and likely include seasonal jobs)

16. Pushes higher, unsustainable demand for electricity Update:: This too has become worse by the closure of even more power plants -: Pushing for significantly more electric cars: http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2011/03/10/obama-administration-pushes-electric-vehicles/ – While systematically reducing the country’s ability to produce electricityhttp://hotair.com/archives/2012/03/01/five-coal-fueled-power-plants-to-close-due-to-obama-administration-regulation/

17. Constantly enlarging and pushing for ever more powerful federal government (do I even need to provide sources for this?)

18. Constantly granting himself and the federal government unconstitutional powers -: http://rt.com/usa/news/obama-president-order-communications-770/ -: http://www.allgov.com/Top_Stories/ViewNews/Obama_Signs_into_Law_Indefinite_Detention_of_Americans_without_Trial_120103

19. He is a narcissist -: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/16/white-house-under-fire-for-adding-obama-policy-plugs-to-past-presidents-bios/ -: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/05/12/is-obamas-narcissim-a-national-security-concern -: (another dead link)

21. He is against American’s Second Amendment rights (he is anti-gun, pro gun control) Update:: need I mention his post-Newtown full scale assault on the Second Amendment? -: http://www.ontheissues.org/2012/Barack_Obama_Gun_Control.htm -: http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-guns-romney-assault-weapons-ban-aurora-shooting-2012-7
