The Obama Legacy: A**hole Extraordinaire

Generally speaking I don’t punctuate my blog posts with a lot of expletives, but there are times when only an expletive can sufficiently convey the level of disgust one needs to convey.  Summing up the legacy of Barack Obama counts as one of those times.

From the moment that he first began his campaign for the presidency and throughout the long eight years of his two terms the word that consistently popped into my head when it came to the words and deeds of Barack Obama is “a**hole.”  You all know what an a**hole is.  It’s that cocky guy at the office who throws his co-workers under the bus in order to make a name for himself, or the guy who cuts people off in traffic because his time is more important than anyone else’s.  It’s the neighbor who has to be a trouble-maker in an otherwise peaceful neighborhood.  Barack Obama, as POTUS, has been a bona fide a**hole.

Let’s review:

After taking office Obama wasted little time in letting the British people know how he felt about the late, great British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, rejecting Britain’s offer to allow a bronze bust of Churchill to remain in a place of prominence in the Oval Office where it had been since it was loaned to George W. Bush following 9/11.  The unceremonious return of the sculpture was clearly meant to send a message of disdain for what the Brits had given as a gesture of friendship and support.

A**hole.
  

During the January, 2010 State of the Union Address, to which Supreme Court justices were cordially invited in observance of long-held tradition, a petulant Obama defied the usual rules of etiquette and protocol to scold the justices in front of the entire nation because the court’s majority had had the audacity not to see the issue as Obama saw it.

A**hole.


At the 2010 occasion of what was billed as a “health care summit,” Senator John McCain raised valid concerns in his capacity as a representative of the people of Arizona, rightfully complaining that the bill had been produced “behind closed doors” and included a number of “special deals for the special interests.”  A decent POTUS would have respectfully answered those concerns.  Instead, a visibly annoyed Obama dismissed McCain’s objections as “talking points” and smacked down his former campaign rival by condescendingly stating, “We’re not campaigning anymore. The election’s over.”

A**hole. 


Obamacare.  The lying, the secrecy, the schemes, the brute force politics.  ‘Nuf said.

A**hole. 


Throughout his presidency Obama has lavishly helped himself to your tax dollars for personal travel and vacations for he and his family.  According to Judicial Watch, as of December 29, 2016 the total spent by the Obamas on annual vacations to Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard and places like Aspen, Morocco, Spain, and Liberia, as well as trips to fundraise for their political party and their political friends has cost the U.S. taxpayers $96,938,882.51.  By the time all the receipts are in for 2016 JW estimates the final tally will exceed $100,000,000 for the personal enjoyment of Barack Obama and his family and friends.  Most Americans don’t begrudge the POTUS a vacation now and then but Barack and Michelle – who wallow in the false lore of being the champions of the little people – really stuck it to the taxpayers.

A**holes.
  

While our military has been busy trying to protect us from terrorism worldwide, Barack Obama has made it a top priority to shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay which houses some of our dangerous enemies.  He uses the ridiculous excuse that Guantanamo is a recruiting tool for terrorists (apparently drones are not), but of course the reality is that he enjoys getting under the skin of his political enemies and if he can do so by letting the enemies of our country make their way back to the battlefield, then what does he care?  He is well-protected.

A**hole.

  
In January of 2014, frustrated by his stalled effort to “transform” America after the 2012 congressional elections rebuked him by withdrawing power from his party, Barack Obama announced that what he could not force upon us legislatively he would force upon us using his pen and his phone.  The Constitution and the will of the people be damned.

A**hole.
  

Obama was in a unique position to be a uniter, but he thrives on division and throughout his presidency has picked and chosen his words and his battles in order to foment racial hostilities at every opportunity.  He went out of his way to insert himself into every instance where there was the appearance of white on black racism, carefully choosing his words to taint each case with a presumption of guilt often long before all the facts were in. Whenever there have been instances of black on white racism that garnered national attention, he’s kept his thoughts to himself unless pressed on it.  He’ll leave office with race relations at their worst in many decades, and he’ll be inwardly smiling as he does.

A**hole.

  
We pay his salary and for all the perks of the office, but Barack Obama has repeatedly stabbed us in the back and degraded our sovereignty by putting the interests of illegal aliens and refugees first.  We have seen countless stories about aliens pouring unimpeded over our borders and trespassing into our nation in defiance of our laws, and we’ve seen insult added to injury as our own tax monies – our childrens’ wealth – are being squandered on these invaders.  In May of 2014 CBS News reported that a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) “shows that 36,007 immigrants in the U.S. illegally who were convicted of crimes were freed from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, including those who had multiple convictions. Those numbers include 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 9,187 dangerous drug convictions, 16,070 drunk or drugged driving convictions and more.”

A**hole.

  
From the moment he took office Obama has been on a mission to put the U.S. on a path to death by socialism.  The number of Americans on disability, food stamps, Medicaid, student loans and other welfare programs have skyrocketed, with Obama fully understanding  what chaos will ensue if Republicans dare to try and turn off the spigot.

A**hole.
  

As a parting shot to Benjamin Netanyahu and the state of Israel, Obama conspired with anti-Israel forces in the U.N. to orchestrate a damning condemnation of our ally in the 11th hour of his presidency.  Why? Because he doesn’t like Netanyahu.  And because he could.

A**hole.

  
If there’s a dictionary for the words we don’t use in polite company, next to the word “a**hole” there should be nothing else except a photo of Barack Hussein Obama.

A**hole
