Remember when Trump was elected and Kellyanne Conway used the term “alternative facts?” Oh, how mainstream media and liberals fearing the “4th Reich” lit up like a Christmas tree! It seems that the Obama and Biden administrations love alternative definitions, whether it’s the word retreat, or recession. In “Less is Worse,” we covered a lot of the failings of the current president. Biden got the template from his old boss and Donald Trump. Yes, it’s pretty much the same guy.
President Nobel (Obama) got away with literal murder that a President John McCain surely would have been nailed for. As a senator, Barack Obama voted for TARP in 2008 before putting it on steroids as president. Here's a short list of his greatest hits. Since most of you have gone beddy bye now that Biden is in office, don't be surprised when smarter Right-Wing Guy shows up in 2024 and worse than Trump. That’s what happens when you redefine recession and tell the peasants to eat cake. It happened before, watch it get worse, because we’re over…
Under Obama:
· Two illegal wars became seven, lighting the Mideast on fire.
· 6.1 million families were kicked out of their homes, no help whatsoever.
· The banks, in addition to their bailout cash, got the homes back as added profit, baked into the "recovery." They were able to rent or sell them.
· Ran on Medicare for all and gave us the ACA, a big wet kiss to the d(owner) class.
· Incidentally, the ACA is the same Heritage Foundation plan that Nixon failed to pass in 1971.
· ACA left 30 million uninsured (more now) with 50,000 deaths a year (pre COVID) for lack of coverage, and one million bankruptcies a year for medical reasons and these people had insurance. No controls placed on the industry whatsoever, "pre-existing conditions" only applying to ACA and not the industry.
· Citibank picked his entire cabinet in an email.
· Increased fracking and drilling in the U.S. by 88%.
· Approved Arctic drilling twice when asked by Big Oil.
· Left 2,000 cities with water worse than Flint by fracking.
· Faked an appearance of drinking water in Flint then split. No FEMA. No aid but it was W. that "hated black people?"
· Made the Bush tax cuts permanent, after extending them.
· Dropped so many bombs on Muslims that they ran out in 2015 for two weeks.
· In March of 2009, he held a White House breakfast for 100 of the top banking execs and said, "I stand between you and the pitchforks." All while these crooks paid themselves fat bonuses for crashing the economy on our dime.
· Had a Tuesday morning kill list. 90% of the drones he ordered killed civilians.
· Orders 850,000 families kicked off food stamps.
· Cracked heads at DAPL and Occupy. The police brutality at DAPL was met with, "let's give it a few weeks at DAPL, see how it plays out."
· BLM started during his time. He shed a tear here and there and his DOJ did nothing. Cops beat up BLM protesters then as well. He called for nothing.
· Doubled Trump's deportation rate by the same time in his presidency.
· Built more cages for legal asylum seekers.
· Gutted Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus
· Increased the surveillance state.
· Prosecuted more whistle blowers, under the Espionage Act, than all presidents combined since its signing in 1917. Key point: whistleblowers aren't "spying for the enemy," they’re telling us what our government does in our name, with our money.
· Refused to recess appoint Merrick Garland to the SCOTUS as a strategy to get Hilary Clinton elected. Bang up job, there.
There's your constitutional law professor and community organizer. So, when the chewy blues tell me, "I love him!" I ask, "why don't you like Trump then?" Is blue murder and criminality prettier? Cornell West famously called Obama "Wall Street's black mascot." His was a failed presidency, without any significant achievement. A Democratic president always gets away with what Republicans can't. Liberals love to howl at the moon, get tired and nap when the new blue guy shows up.
Don’t get mad at me. It’s your spirit animal…
