Obama Failures; List of Failures of our Nations most Socialist President to date

 This article includes a list of Obama Failures, with older OR less noteworthy failures falling toward the bottom as this list grows.
Considering his socialist incompetence & narcissistic world views, it is not a complete list and will be less complete with likely continued failures. However I will attempt to update this as much as time allows (this will also include any necessary corrections should he change coarse). Of course some of his "failures" are a matter of perspective; however with minimal business experience, history knowledge, understanding of Judeo-Christian values, and simple honesty; it is difficult to deny the failings listed here.

1. Obama Delays Keystone Pipeline;
   The Obama Administration delayed until after the 2012 elections the construction of the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline that would bring in more than 700,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf coast.
   The result is delay of access to easy imports from Canada, the creation of thousands of jobs (even if short term), the generation of revenue for the states where the pipeline passes, less dependence upon foreign oil from less than friendly nations in the Middle East and Venezuela (these last two reasons should be a "no brainer" for anyone other than Obama, Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelosi (even the unions support this pipeline!!)

2. Obama Sends Weapons Contract to Foreign Corp. with Ties to Iran & Soros;
   The Obama Administration is blocking Wichita Kansas based Hawker Beechcraft from bidding on a Weapons Contract and instead is sending the contract for the previous Beechcraft AT-6 to Brazil-based Embraer’s Super Tucano military aircraft. Embraer is a company with Ties to Iran & George Soros.

3. Debt Ceiling fiasco of 2011- While the liberal media has done a good job of pinning this on Republicans and the Tea Party in particular, the blame lies squarely at his feet as he refused any real plan that would cap the debt ceiling as per Moody's, Standard & Poors, etc.
   
   Any honest research will show that the August 2011 down grade and stock market crash could have been avoided if the Obama and his dishonest colleagues such as Harry Reid had accepted "Cut Cap, & Balance"
   See: The Debt Ceiling Lies/Crisis


4. Inappropriate remarks about Israel Prime Minister (further proof of his disdain for Israel):
   "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you" This was in reply to an equally rude comment by French President Sarkozy.
   See: Obama And Sarkozy Caught Bashing Netanyahu On Hot Mic


5. Obama’s lies about the budget and constant blaming of Bush rather than taking any responsibility at all for his hand in the budget deficit and terrible economy:
   
   For Fiscal Year 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.
   
   If the Obama & the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the Fiscal Year 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.


6. Obama and Attorney General Holder suing the Sate of Arizona over bill that only enforces US Federal Law (US code #1304; c, d, & f).
   See: Obama and Holder taking on Arizona's SB1070


7. "Solar-Gate";
   There are two House investigations into a scandal involving a $535 million federal loan failed solar company Solyndra.
   As well on September 30, the Energy Department rushes through an additional $4.7 billion in "green energy loans" to four other companies on the very day the funding expires under the 2009 stimulus act; this only three weeks after federal agents raided the closed offices of Solyndra


8. “Fast and Furious” gun running scandal;
   Unwavering support of Attorney General Eric Holder and his “Fast and Furious” gun tracking plan (including delayed terrorist news to cover this up). Two of the guns linked to "Fast and Furious" were found at the scene of the murder of a border patrol agent.
   His contention that he knew nothing about secret tactics to allow illegal arms sales on the Southwest border does not "wash"; as the Attorney General the "buck" stops with him.
   See: CNN; Time for Attorney General Holder to resign over Fast and Furious gun scandal?


9. Indirect Support of the Occupy Movement
   Barack Obama's political roots are connected to the creators of Occupy Wall Street.
   The media tries its best to portray the crime wave known as the “Occupy Movement” as a grass roots political movement but we know two things in spite of the media coverup: The Occupy bunch is not a grassroots movement, it’s a financed and controlled product of the community organizer in chief himself.
   See: Occupy Movement

10. Multiple czars with no accountability;
    Obama continues to employ "czars" and channel his socialist agenda via federal agencies, meanwhile sidestepping Congress and subverting the checks and balances written into our Constitution.
    
    For example, on November 20th 2011, the Federal Communications Commission will get a stranglehold on the Internet through a cloaked initiative called "Net Neutrality." This is a typical Obama socialist takeover!



11. Obama stacked the National Labor Relations Board with Union Puppets who, for the first time in the history of the United States, refused to allow Boeing to open a plant in South Carolina (a "Right to Work State") because the plant would use non-union labor.
    Despite the fact workers at the South Carolina plant in question voted resoundingly (199-68) to decertify their union two years ago.
    See this article where Nancy Pelosi backs this move:
    South Carolina Boeing Plant Should Unionize or Shut Down


12. Refusing to prosecute the radical hate group; the Black Panthers for violations of others voting rights as well as hate crimes and inciting violence
    See this very good web post for further information:
    New Black Panther Obama DOJ refused to prosecute: “I hate white people – all of them!”


13. Allowing radical racist communist in his administration - Van Jones; Special Advisor for Green Jobs in the Obama administration (Former now).
    This guy is so far out there that he signed his name to 911Truth.org which is a group that does not believe the accepted, proven, and established accounts of 9/11/01, this is a kin to denying the Holocaust, claiming the Earth is flat (there are those that still believe this), believe the Moon landings were fake, etc, etc.
    This is also insulting to the families of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and bluntly almost as evil as the attacks themselves!
    Reference (one of many);
    Wikipedia; Van Jones


14. Socialist in his administration;
    Here are just a few:
    Carol Browner (Energy Czar/Director), Rosa Brooks (Senior advisor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michele Flournoy), Ron Bloom (Manufacturing Czar).

15. General Motors Bail Out & Take Over;
    Sadly Obama is calling this a "Victory", but it is NOT!
    
    On 5-29-09, with General Motors nearing bankruptcy, the GM stock price hit a 71-year low of 75 cents per share. That put the market capitalization of General Motors at less than a half-billion dollars.
    President Obama came to the rescue with a $60 billion bailout. As of today, despite the infusion of $60 billion into GM, the company's market capitalization is just $38 billion and Obama is claiming victory! That would be the same as buying a "fixer-upper" house for $5,000, pumping $600,000 into the house and selling the house for $380,000 -- while claiming the whole episode a financial success!!
    See: Auto bail. Out…
    
    As Well:
    The Federal Government had no right to pass over paying off "high priority" Bond holders and instead hand over much of the stock to the Unions
    See GM bondholders see raw deal in latest exchange offer


16. Shutting down of the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico, along with his mishandling of the BP Oil Spill including turning down real help from the Dutch for Oil Spill Help; Obama says “Thanks, but no thanks”
    (see: Dutch Offered Oil Spill Help)
    Also with an economy that needs low oil prices for complete recovery, Obama continues to lock up viable oil reserves in the US.
    
    Sadly energy policy has been a failure of many presidents, including Bush. We need a leader to stand up to the communist environmental movement before it is too late (all the while China drills for oil just outside our waters and Canada does not have any of the issues with drilling that we have in Alaska)


17. Obamas extreme arrogance toward those who do not fit his world view/profile. This includes his view that other than himself driving around in limos and flying in Air Force one, no one else is entitled to any luxuries in life and high fuel prices are just another way of separating the "serfs" from persons of his stature in his racist psychopathic narcissist world view.
    See this excellent video clip, this displays his extreme arrogance and racism:
    Obama Humiliated After Attempt To Shame SUV Driver
    
    
    Sadly, this picture below shows the height of his extreme hypocrisy; this picture is from 2008 (during the presidential campaign). I guess it is OK for him and his family to own an SUV, but not for others; Good job "Marie Antoinette Obama"
    
    


18. Obama’s ties via Eboo Patel to the radical Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the controversial Muslim leader behind the plan to build the Islamic center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf wrote the afterward to Patel’s 2006 book entitled, “Building the Interfaith Youth Movement: Beyond Dialogue to Action.”
    Eboo Patel the is religious adviser to President Obama. Obama’s adviser says, “America is the ideal place for a renewal of Islam”.
    
    See:
    *Barack Obama’s ‘Religious’ Advisor, Eboo Patel, is closely linked to the radical imam seeking to build the Ground Zero mosque
    *Obama religion adviser closely tied to ‘Ground Zero’ imam. Boasted of America as ‘ideal place for renewal of Islam’


19. Stimulus bill - not a jobs bill but a democratic payback bill


20. Extreme political correctness and inability to call Islamic Extremists and the tenants of Islam which they follow for what it is;
    An extreme religion of hate and intolerance:
    No Mosque at Ground Zero


21. Lack of proper vetting


22. Tax cheats in his administration; Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner


23. No Olympics for Chicago - turned out to be a big ego trip instead


24. Making race relations worse - (stupidly comment- professor gates)


25. Fly over photo op in New York - scared New Yorkers


26. Selling out other nations by removing missile defense


27. Letting Pelosi and Reid write bills


28. Lack of transparency


29. Lying about details of his healthcare reform bill - YOU LIE!!!


30. Attempt to take over census


31. Undecided about giving military what they need to win


32. Association with acorn


33. Worldwide apology tour (this borders on treason IMHO)


34. Willing to bend over to our enemies while giving our allies the shaft


35. Lack of support for Israel.
    While I, nor others advocate blanket support for everything Israel does, it does not take a genius to figure out the Israel is the strongest democracy in the region and our best ally in the region as well.
    One could also cite Genesis 12:2-3 for supporting Israel, although their admittedly is controversy as to the correct interpretation of these verses, I personally think it is clear from reading the Bible in context (not just the literal Hebrew of these verses) that the Nation of Israel is being spoken of via Abraham's descendants through Jacob, NOT Ishmael (see: "I will make you into a great nation")


36. Took too long to speak out against violence against voters in Iran


37. Getting the NEA to produce propaganda art for his agenda


38. Firing inspector general for investigating his friends at americorp


39. Shutting down voucher program in DC for poor school kids


40. Firing the head of General Motors, this is not the job of the President to fire corporate heads no matter how bad they might be


41. Lied about putting bills online for 5 days


42. Allowing unions large share in businesses taken over by government


43. Intimidating businessmen (I'm only thing standing between you and the pitch forks)


44. Allowing his administration to threaten shareholders during bankruptcy of car dealers


45. Extreme Anti small business & anti-family views/policies; remember Joe the Plumber?
    As well as a small businessman that struggles for every dollar, often working 80 hours per week I have already seen my taxes increase. As well Obama has lowered the child tax credit from $1000 to $500; how family friendly is that?


46. Raised the deficit 3 times the amount it was last year


47. Bailout of Fannie and Freddie


48. Will not be able to repay tarp money to taxpayers as promised


49. Continued blaming of George W Bush for the Economy, months and years into his presidency.
    The facts are after 9/11 the economy was doing fine, it only started downhill after the Dems took over the Congress in 2006 pushing for much more out of control spending. Even then the main culprit occurred in the 1990s when HUD loosened mortgage restrictions in the mid-1990s. As well banking de-regulation in 2004 (admittedly under George W Bush) allowed financial institutions to make more risky investments/loans.
    The bottom line is these financial institutions should not have been bailed out at taxpayer expense with NO future return payment, and all Obama did is Triple Down on George W Bush' mistakes here, not turn course; So Obama now owns this economy!


50. Class warfare uproar over AIG bonuses but silent about bonuses for his pals at for Fanny & Freddie


51. Spending more than any president in history


52. And of coarse the failure of the American Electorate to actually vote for such a fool:
    Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.
    
    "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
    
    And this quote:
    "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.." -- Winston Churchill
    
    
    
    Hopefully the “Light Bulb” will go off in the head of at least 50% of Americans before it is too late for this once great nation

First since I promised to add to this article as I continue to updated, let me add a couple positives (as well as more failures are added further in this post): * President Obama used intelligence gleaned from interrogations he disagreed with to make the right decision to go after and kill Osama Bin Laden. He could have ignored this (as many of his past remarks/actions suggest he could have); however our President did the "right Thing"; *Turning over his actual Birth Certificate While this controversy may not go away and while these documents may well be forged; either way this is a minor issue IMHO and detracts from serious debate of why in most cases this man is the worst president in our Nation's history. For those to continue on with the issue of the Birth Certificate only destroys credibility and makes such persons appear as loony as the 9/11 "Truthers" (which so disgusts me it is beyond words)

These two positives still do not in any way make up for this list of failures & extreme leftist views & hatred of anyone who has achieved anything in life via hard work!
