(hat tip Steelfish) He embraces identity politics at home, but abroad Obama preaches the opposite. He told a black audience he would “consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy” if they didn’t turn out for the Democratic candidate. Then, abroad, just nine weeks later, he lectured on the sins of parochialism. His urgent message for the nations of the world, including his own, is to eschew “tribalism” in the name of a common universalism.=======================================
This dangerous deranged megalomaniac unaccountably got into American politics under false pretenses.
His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.
In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).
===============================================
The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.
If that wasnt enough Boobamba says he intends to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.
All of this is fodder for his foundations. The reality is the Boob and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.
“As the first black president I almost doubled the federal debt in just eight years, it took 240 years of white guys just to get it where it was before me.”
Actually with respect to the deficit he merely repeated what the white guy who preceded him accomplished in doubling the federal debt. The only difference is the white guy (George Bush) inherited a balanced budget so he had to reverse the positive trend.. Obama started his presidency with the largest annual deficit in US history put place ($1.4 trillion) by his white predecessor. Obama’s last year (2016) the budget deficit was $587 billion, an improvement of $900 billion in annual spending versus the deficit he inherited. Note also Obama’s deficit spending has been supported by a Republican House (where all appropriations are initiated and approved). Of course his predecessor Mr. Bush had a Republican House for 6 years and which also approved his record deficits and was infamous for use of the earmark to fund big pork projects.
Read the Constitution. The president cannot spend a dime unless it is appropriate by Congress. All spending must originate in the House of Representatives. The truth is, the GOP members of the House are accountable for the explosion of the deficit under Obama and Bush.
