“Fifteen years ago, I asked you to believe in the change we could create together ― and you did. I am so proud of our Obama alumni for carrying that mission forward” ― Former President Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2023.
In the aftermath of the horrific Hamas attack on innocent Israeli citizens, President Obama bragged about how great of a job his former VP Joe Biden and national security advisors Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan were doing handling a problem they themselves fostered and created.
Obama congratulating his team for abysmal results brings to mind the lament of legendary Clemson football Coach Frank Howard when asked about their prospects with most of their starters returning from a 1-9 team. “Yeah, we’ve got a lot of experience coming back ― all of it bad.”
It is hard to look back fifteen years to election night, 2008 and honestly say: “You know, things in America really started to get a lot better after Obama and Biden got elected!”
Race relations are at an all-time low since 1965. President Obama could have been a truly transformational national healer in racial animosity in the mold of Abraham Lincoln. Instead, Obama, Eric Holder and his team chose to make him the Divider-in-Chief, pitting blacks against whites; blacks against Asians and Muslims as aggrieved parties versus everyone.
Americans saw downtown cities burned and looted during the BLM riots of 2020. Liberal city mayors encourage rampant looting of downtown stores by promising no prosecution of anyone who steals up to $999 worth of stolen property. Liberal judges appointed by Obama and Biden and supported by George Soros fail to sentence leftists who do commit crimes ― but they sentence citizens with whom they disagree politically to long extended prison sentences.
Thousands of virulently antisemitic, pro-Palestinian marchers shout “Death to Israel” and “Kill the Jews” in the streets today ― no doubt aided and abetted by the same paid organizers and agitators who organized the BLM riots.
If you are looking for evidence of the “change” President Obama said he wanted for America, look no further than the chaos in our streets and what his judicial appointees have said and done.
In the wake of the October 7 Hamas massacre, the Obama team stills wants to help Iran become a nuclear power, if you can believe it. There is a special unexplained love, admiration and respect for the ayatollahs of Iran by Presidents Obama and Biden and their chief advisors. The Obama Team has lifted sanctions against Iran; sent them tens of billions of dollars and allowed them to double oil revenue, all of which has emboldened the ayatollahs and mullahs to export more death and destruction as they did in Israel.
Can there be a worse Strangelovian nightmare horror show than fundamental Islamic terrorists with tactical nuclear missiles in the Middle East?
The Obama Team has crippled U.S. oil production in the name of climate change ― right at the time when America needs to be energy independent of Iran, OPEC and Russia. The Obama Team failed to support the 2010 and 2022 Green Revolutions of young Iranians who wanted freedom from strict medieval 13th century caliphate rule ― both of which could have replaced the fundamentalist Islamists in control of Iran.
The Obama Team has allowed six million illegal immigrants to cross into U.S. territory since Biden took office. The Obama Team tore the U.S. healthcare system apart in 2010 — and no U.S. family is saving the $2,000 per year President Obama promised along with keeping their own doctor if they wanted.
The Obama Team has consistently failed in the one area which affects every American ― economic growth and job creation. GDP growth under Obama for eight long years barely averaged 2% per year when the norm has historically been 3%, especially when coming out of a deep recession. Under Team Obama’s backup, Joe Biden, economic growth has been even worse, an average of just over 1% per year since 2021. The Joint Economic Committee estimates the desultory economic results under Obama and Biden will mean GDP will be at least 21% smaller in the future than it would have otherwise been had neither been elected.
And don’t forget high inflation and resultant higher interest rates. All brought to you proudly by The Obama Team.
“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America” ― President-elect Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2008.
As Frank Howard would say: “Yeah, and it has all been bad.”
