"Obama
is a far greater threat to your everyday existence than guns."
Hat tip goes to Scott, @retiredfirecapt on
twitter who succinctly summarized the gun control issue, as well as the first
(and second, if America survives) term of President Barack Obama, in the above
statement...
Shortly after seeing Scott’s tweet above, I saw Michelle
Ray’s (@GaltsGirl) post on
twitter with a link to Josh Bernstein’s
ConservativeDailyNews.com article below:
Barack Obama was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for
2012. An honor bestowed upon almost every president since 1927. Our 44th President is a remarkable
president. No president in our nation’s history has accomplished so little in
such a short time. No president has ever been elected to the highest office in
the land with less experience. No president has ever been reelected with a
record as remarkable as this president’s record.
Here
are the top 10 reasons why I support Barack
Obama as Time’s Person of the
Year.
1.
For the first time in our nation’s history we had our credit rating downgraded
from AAA to AA+. (In terms of baseball that would be the equivalent of being
sent back down to the Minor leagues.)
2.
The Benghazi Cover Up. Four Americans died in Libya on Sept 11, 2012 while the
President watched and did nothing. After the attack the President lied and said
it was not a terrorist attack. To make matters worse initially the attack was
blamed on a video. (Three months later the American People are still waiting
for the truth and an apology.)
3.
The President has presided over the worst economy since The Great Depression.
His policies, not the ones of his predecessor are the main reason the economy
will not recover. The main culprit is his signature achievement. The Affordable
Care Act has kept small businesses
from hiring, thus exacerbating the problems in regard to the economy. (If we
repeal and replace AFA the economy will turn around a lot sooner.)
4.
There are 47 million Americans on food stamps right now. (The President has
certainly earned his nickname as the Food Stamp President.)
5.
It has taken 219 years and 43 former presidents to spend less money than Barack
Obama has spent in only his first four years. (As a result of this
accomplishment according to U.S. Debt Clock.org that is approximately $52,000
per person.) http://www.usdebtclock.org/
6.
With 23 million Americans out of work and the unemployment rate over 8% Barack
Obama has not met with his jobs council in over six months. If that wasn’t
enough he also removed the work requirement for Welfare. (Mr. President, the
greatest social program is a job.)
7.
With the threat of a nuclear Iran, the Assad regime in Syria, the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, a Middle East on the verge of eruption, an unstable North
Korea, a belligerent Russia, and a power hungry China, the President wants to
cut our national defense as well as reduce our nuclear arsenal to pre Cold War
levels. (Just for extra fun he also has skipped the majority of his
intelligence briefings.)
8.
Gas prices when George W. Bush left office were $1.78 a gallon. Gas Prices have
routinely been over $3.50 per gallon and continue to grow even higher. (Good
call Mr. President on turning down that Keystone Pipeline.)
9.
Telling business owners that they are not responsible for building their own
businesses. Eluding to the fact that somehow the government had a hand in
building their businesses, not the blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice, risk, and
money of the entrepreneurs themselves. (Mr. President, why do small businesses
fear you again?)
10.
Solyndra, Fisker Automotive,
General Motors, Fast and Furious, Cash for Clunkers, Spectra Watt, Sun Power,
First Solar, Bright Source, the list goes on and on and on.
The
folks at Time Magazine sure know how
to pick them. They made an excellent choice for their Person of the Year. Barack Obama has accomplished so much
in so little time. With his stellar record of achievements what else could he
possibly do to better his already stellar record? I know at least half the
country right now is waiting on pins and needles to find out. Maybe he will be
so successful that he becomes President for life? I’m sure the President’s next
four years will be just as successful as his first four years.
Isn’t it ironic that the same man who is named ‘Person
of the Year’ at the end of four failed years and the beginning of an undeserved
2nd term is receiving this recognition? It is about as meaningful as
his receiving the Noble Peace Prize prior to any real accomplishment other than
fooling half of the American voting public four years ago.
Someone on an on-line forum just asked me how I was
doing. My response was “Pretty well, considering the fact that my country must
endure four more years of grossly inept leadership on the part of both the
Democrat and the Republican Parties. Despite the fact that no one wants to deal
with the real problem with our nation - Big Government and its Big Spending ...
Where "Tax the Rich' is being used by Obama as a distraction to cover his
many failures and to deflect the attention away from the real problem – the nations
increasing debt!”
