After reading through the thread from overnight, (gheeze, don't you guys sleep?
) I notice that the claims are heavy on say so, and short on actual links to proof of claim.
I'll give a couple of things credit here..
1. Obama taking office was met with a horrific torrid of financial collapse. A conservative President might have reacted differently, but Obama acted in the manner he believed was the correct way.
2. He did continue TARP from the Bush administration which shored up the banks to allow them to stabilize, and not go under plummeting us into full blown depression.
Now, on to the lies to some small degree.
1. He turned what should have been a 1 to 2 year recession into a contraction of the American economy unprecedented in our history.
2. He absolutely lied, and continues to lie about jobs created, and he did this by changing the metrics of how a job is counted.
3. He used his bully pulpit and a majority in both houses of Congress to ram through a take over of 1/6 of the American economy regardless of the will of the people. And this action and ensuing fight has injected so much uncertainty into the economy that we are skipping along the bottom instead of recovering.
4. He has sowed division within the country cynically, and politically to the point that many Americans no longer have any faith or trust in institutions like CBO, (Remember the incident of calling the CBO head into the office for a Soporano's style dressing down when they went against Obamacare?)
5. He demonized business, banks, political opponents, etc. to the point where a face to face discussion on the street between friends that hold differing views are avoided.
6. Instead of leading on every issue he defers to congress, and allows organizations like "The Apollo Project" (Van Jones) to write the ACA.
7. This man said he wanted to "fundamentally transform America".... But, he never articulated into what? I believe into a Euro Social economy. So while they are going down, he and liberals want to adopt policies, and measures that got them in the trouble they are in today...Great.
Like I said that is a start....This man is dangerous, I have always said that. And not because of his skin color, not because of his disdain for wealth, not because I dislike him personally, I don't know him.
No, This man is dangerous because he is a progressive, top down, big central government social engineer that will not realize when his policies have failed, but rather will only think that he hasn't done enough. Plus, he will not allow anyone to disagree with his agenda either. Remember, he thinks that compromise means agree with him or get out of the way, and he doesn't think that he needs to follow the Constitution unless it allows him more power....He is dangerous.
