Barak Hussein Obama is most certainly an Epic Failure. His rating has to be less than 0 because not only has he failed to accomplish anything, he has negatively affected the US to a large magnititude.
He has created a healthcare system in which those who can afford it pay for those who can't, those who don't have it are FORCED BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT to purchase it, whether they want it or not, a sort of healthcare fascism where the gestapo raid your house at gunpoint in the middle of the night and force you to apply for Liberty Mutual, or whichever insurance company contributed the most to their campaign funding;
And most detrimental of all, in his grand effort to "reform" healthcare, he's made it more expensive and complicated for everybody. Have your healthcare premiums gone up since the passing of this grandiose fistful of socialism was forced down our throats? Mine has. The only people happy about "ObamaCare" are those who've never paid for it anyway.
And now nobody gets health coverage at work, EVEN IF THEY COULD GET A JOB, which of course, over 10% of us can't because the cost for small business to provide it to their employees is now prohibitively high. And because Barak Hussein Obama's financial good ole boys club of Guenther and Paulson, et al have printed so much money and run the debt to 13 or whatever trillion, the constant looming threat of higher taxes, increased regulation, and devaluation of the dollar has businesses in a paralyzed fear of hiring anyone or investing in their business in any way.
And that idiot Pelosi said with a straight face that extending unemployment benefits stimulates the economy more than hiring someone will do. She thinks paying someone to do nothing is better than paying them to do something, but that's a conversation for another thread.
This of course exacerbated the collapse of the housing market. So what does he do? He takes TRILLIONS of dollars we don't have and buys a car company, pours good money after bad into Fannie and Freddie, buys a couple of insurance companies and about 5 large banks, and not one time, NOT ONCE did he EVER give ANY money back to the population that paid for all that in the first place. Our treasury department gave $600 billion to Citibank (which incidentally they paid approximately $1.30 for every $1 of share purchased, while Warren Buffet bought it at $.70 on the dollar (Hey! government at work fo ya!) but not a single dime of the "Stimulus Package" went back to the populace that provided it.
Barak Hussein Obama has run around the world apologizing for our country and concentrating on propogating Muslim ideals and all that sensitivity bullshit (just so he can get $250,000 speaking gigs for 20 years after he leaves office by the way) while ignoring the general health of the country and those who stupidly elected him to represent their ideals.
So let's recap:
- More expensive healthcare and now you're forced to buy it.
- $13 Trillion in debt (For those in Rio Linda who think this will never affect them, let us remind you that increasing national debt leads to the eventually that you cannot pay all your loans. This leads to other countries no longer lending you money. This leads to a drop in liquidity of the money supply. This leads to banks not lending money to anyone, business or individuals. This leads to no one buying anything. This leads to no one making anything or selling anything. That's called massive unemployment. And because no money is moving around our economy, our money becomes worth less, the dollar devalues in relation to other currencies of the world. That's called a loss in economic competitiveness on a global scale.
That's called an Epic Failure.
