Is Obama destroying this country?

Do you support the "change" Obama has produced in this country the past 3 years? Is it the type of "change" you thought he was going to generate?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Yes. Barack Obama is a colossal failure. He has done EVERYTHING wrong. Every decision he makes poisons our country. To save America, we must do the opposite of everything Obama is doing.

1. Obama has wasted $819 billion of our tax dollars on a failed stimulus package and trillions more on bailouts. He is committing generation theft, putting our children and grandchildren in massive debt. Now he wants more. We should ban stimulus, bailouts and earmarks. They are nothing more than pork barrel spending to buy votes and reward his Democratic political cronies.

2. Obama is imposing the biggest income tax increase in history, placing most of the tax burden on small business owners. We should do the opposite. Taxpayers and small businesses are the engines of our economy. They create most of the jobs and tax revenue. We should reward them with a one-year income tax vacation. The cost would be about the same as Obama’s failed stimulus fiasco and would turn this recession into a great economic boom.

3. Obama has repeatedly violated the Constitution, highlighted by his refusal to investigate ACORN for voter registration fraud and the two Black Panthers charged with intimidating white voters in the 2008 election. He also opposes gun ownership in the hands of law-abiding citizens. We should respect and follow the Constitution, the greatest document ever created.

4. Obama doesn’t believe in states’ rights, ordering the U.S. government to sue Arizona's new immigration law. We should kill the lawsuit, secure our borders, stop illegal immigration and respect states' rights as the Constitution demands.

5. Obama has dramatically increased the size, scope, power and spending of government with his healthcare and so-called financial reform bills. His promise to lower health costs while expanding coverage is a lie, something that never was and never will be: a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society; either the costs go up or the free society goes away. We should repeal the healthcare bill and reduce the size of government, putting more money and power in the hands of individual citizens. We should fire overpaid government employees, stop all raises and cut their obscene salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.

6. Obama has treated our allies (such as Israel) harshly, while treating evil rulers that support terrorism (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela) with kid gloves. We should do the opposite: treat friends with respect and not give enemies the time of day. We should also do what should have been done decades ago: eliminate foreign aid to despots and adversaries across the globe.

7. Obama is spending billions on our failing public education system solely to reward his teachers’ union campaign contributors. We should eliminate the Department of Education and transition government out of this area. In the interim, we should move education funding to the state and local level and encourage vouchers to give parents the freedom to pursue alternatives such as home-schooling, private, charter and religious schools. We should abolish public employee unions and restore to administrators the ability to hire, fire and grant raises based on performance.

8. Obama supports the Federal Reserve and asks them to print ever-more money, devaluing our currency and stealing every American’s savings. We should audit the Fed, and make it transparent and accountable to the people.

9. Obama responded to the Gulf oil disaster with an oil-drilling moratorium costing 100,000 jobs. Obama’s tragic solution destroys the Gulf economy and makes America more dependent on foreign oil. We should do the opposite: encourage more offshore drilling and allow it closer to shore, where disasters can be more easily prevented.

10. Obama has expanded the war in Afghanistan, sending an additional 30,000 troops there. We should stop this no-win war. The original purpose and goals have been long since forgotten. Bring our brave troops home.

I could go on and on, but these are the main points of what he is doing wrong (the most important are at the top). Barack Obama is a corrupt, anti-American socialist dictator. He will go down as the worst U.S. president ever.

If Obama destroys the country, it's only because Congress allowed him to do so. And since the American people keep voting for incumbents, we share part of the blame as well.

Give me thumbs down if you like, but you cannot deny there is some truth in the statement.

He started with that health care bill .got it passed then has done nothing for this country.The middle east is such a mess from his speech in Cairo that i dont see them ever being free.
Answered By: Judy - 10/26/2011
Yes. Just look at his campaign promises. He first stated that if we passed his 3 trillion dollar stimulus package that unemployment would not exceed 8?It has been holding consistently above 8?ince he took office. He said the Patriot Act was unconstitutional, yet he extended it. He said he would close Guantanamo Bay, yet it is still open. He said he would end the wars; he set several extraction dates which have yet to be met, and his claims to have ended it now are false considering the fact that our troops will always be in Iraq getting fired upon by extremists and having to defend themselves. He said he would get Nationalized Health Care passed, yet he only had a mandate to purchase health insurance passed.

Why are you still supporting Mr. Obama?

@ Jay - I lost my full time job working for the National Guard because the Democrats tried to sneak the Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal past congress by attaching it to the National Guard's budget. When it did not pass, the base I worked on fired all Technicians that had been employed for less than 5 years.
Answered By: Seth - 10/26/2011
You are so right. Look at the destruction:
1. He invaded a country which did not attack us and was not going to attack us. He spent billions of dollars and wasted thousands of lives. Oh...no...that was W.
2. He reduced environmental protections which increased toxins in the air and water. No...that, too, was W.
3. He asked Congress to pass the Patriot Act, substantially reducing our civil liberties, including privacy. Oops. Again, that was W.
4. He asserted the right to attack and invade any country without provocation (contrary to U.S. law). Oh, I got that one wrong as well...That was W.
5. He reduced regulation of financial institutions and helped to precipitate the current recession. Uh, oh. My bad. W again.
6. He pressed Congress to reduce taxes on the rich, increasing our debt and decimating our middle class. Heck, I guessed wrong on all of these.

No, it is NOT Obama who is destroying the country. He seems to be repairing and building.
Answered By: LovesTheConstitution - 10/26/2011
He is not destroying it directly; he is misleading the people. He promised all what people wanted to hear. Has done nothing to 'create' jobs, but only expending money.

The 'experiment' did not work. We need more than color. Efficiency, leadership, knowledge and determination with experience. I believe he has little of all these.
Answered By: dust - 10/26/2011
Well before Obama got into office he said he would fundamentally transform America but he did not say how or what he would change it into.
but from his short history it shows his radical ways , at least the things that have come to light.
there is much of Obama past that he has chosen to seal.

Obama is just a politician with flashy slogans , with a teleprompter he talks good without it he stumbles through sentences.

in some of his speeches he said he would unite the country - his policies have done the opposite.
Obama said his admin would be more transparent - lots of his deals are done behind doors .

Under Obama the country is more divided .
under Obama the debt has gotten higher .
unemployment under Obama has remained high.

Not the Hope & Change he talked about .

but the people see that now , his campaign speeches are smaller groups in safe UNION territory gone are the crowds of screaming and chanting people ,no more fainting women.
now his crowds he gets heckled , people snoring, sleeping and f*****g .
Answered By: ken s in area 51 - 10/26/2011
In my opinion, yes. what has he done to destroy the country?

rammed obamacare down our throats against overwhelming public opinion against it. and he did so without allowing congress to debate on the bill. turns out some parts may very well be unconstitutional. the cost of the bill alone would have been reason enough not to pass it. but the worst part, i believe, is it does nothing to bring down the cost of health care. and that is the single biggest reason we need health care reform

bailed out the companies who were responsible for the subprime loan fiasco that resulted in historic levels of home foreclosures and bank closings. not to mention the damage done to real estate values and the stock market nose dive. it may very well take many more years to recover

the first president to be in office to see the national credit rating downgraded. but, of course, he will say that wasn't his fault

the first president to apologize to other countries for usa acting in their own best interest

the first president to side with a foreign nation (mexico) instead of the states on a national problem, illegal immigration

the list is much longer but i think you get the point

If one single man, could take over a healthy country, and 'destroy' it, then it couldn't have been healthy to start with.
He hasn't bombed it, jailed it, stolen it, or done anything to 'destroy ' it.
In fact he can't even get his simplest plan or appointment out of the House.
Purely on a practical basis, like him or not, this kind of overstatement just ends up being ridiculous.
Answered By: justagrandma - 10/26/2011
I support the change he is trying to achieve. The problem is that the Republicans decided from day 1 that they needed to block him at every turn so he does not accomplish anything. While he does have some major achievements, like health care and financial reform, he had to compromise so much to get them passed that they are only a small improvement at best.
As for the economy, the auto industry bailout that Republicans opposed saved two to three million jobs. He has proposed a jobs bill that according to Moody's will create 1.9 million jobs ad add 2?o economic growth. The Republicans blocked it, and recently voted against a small piece of the plan that would have saved the jobs of thousands of teachers, and only increased taxes on the richest 350,000 Americans. The increase would have amounted to $5,000 in additional taxes on a person with $2,000,000 in taxable income, but that was too much for Republicans to accept. Instead, they are advocating a plan that will cause 700,000 MORE Americans to LOSE their jobs.
The bottom line is that Obama is fighting FOR economic recovery, and Republicans are fighting to make the economy WORSE.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
