Anybody But Obama

Barack Obama is at war in Iraq. He is at war in Afghanistan. He is at war in Lybia. And he is at war with America. Not one was declared by Congress.

First, Barack Obama is the only president in history actively destroying not only America’s ability to access its own energy sources but also the only president in history who has systemically set about destroying America’s energy infrastructure. He has banned drilling on and off-shore. Never mind that he has opened leases, he forbids drilling. Drilling platforms have moved from the Gulf of Mexico because of the drilling ban. The United States is now more dependent on foreign oil than we ever have been in our history.

Second, under Obama, the so-called “food stamp” program grown from $34.6 billion in 2008 to $64.7 billion in 2010, an 86% increase. In 2011, the program cost $71 billion, or an increase of 105% with the number of recipients increasing by 58%. There is a complete disconnect in the Obama administration. This program has turned into a give-away program.

Third, The USDA announced that food inflation is accelerating. Higher energy prices, caused by Obama’s anti-energy policies, are forcing higher inflation on all foods. The National Inflation Association (NIA) predicts that food inflation will be America’s top crisis. Today, agriculture makes up 1.2% of GDP. Less than 2% of the population farm compared to 28% during 1930s. Food prices are predicted to skyrocket with food shortages caused by hoarding.

Fourth, Obama’s stimulus bills were designed to spend money on government programs and public sector unions not private sector job creation. Between January 2009 and January 2011, the number of unemployed increased by 24.7%; the number of long term unemployed increased by 146.2%; and the national debt increased from $10.627 trillion to $14..052 trillion, a 32.2% increase. Unemployment is still over 9% although Obama promised it would fall below 8% with his stimulus plans.

Fifth, the Obama administration has so mismanaged the mortgage modification program that the country faces a double dip recession, much like Franklin Roosevelt caused during the 1930s. Out of several million problem mortgagaes, Obama’s Home Affordable Modification (HAMP) program, only 700,000 mortgages have been modified. Of the $45 billion allocated for the program, only $1.2 billion has been spent, or less than 3%. Mortgage foreclosures are increasing.

Barack Obama told the American people to be patient as he “fixes” the economy. The American people have been patient . . . for almost three years and it is obvious Obama has made everything worse than it was when he took office. The American people cannot absorb another four years of failure and deceit.

Obama has made America more dependent on foreign oil than any prior president. Inflation is on the rise. Unemployment has increased under Obama’s stimulus policies. Our national debt has increased more under Obama than any prior president. Obama’s annual budgets incorporate trillion dollar plus deficits that America cannot afford.

Obama is the only President who has demonstrated he does not like America. He has not produced any pro-American ideas. He is harmful to America’s future. He is a clear and present danger to our ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
