Over This
Well Sourced List Of 252 Examples Of His Lying, Lawbreaking, Corruption,
Cronyism, Etc.
I
ask you to please show this list to as many people as possible – and
especially, to please show it to as many Obama supporters as possible. Sunshine
really is the best disinfectant. I can’t stop Obama from doing any of these
horrible things, but I can tell people about what he is doing. So please share
this list with others on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Thank you. The short link for
this is http://tinyurl.com/ku9vxug
Every
President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and engages in
acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree
than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign promises were so much
better sounding than anyone else’s – no lobbyists in his administration,
waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have
time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every
bill line by line to make sure money isn’t being wasted, prosecution of Wall
St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it’s
legal, high levels of transparency. Obama’s promises of these wonderful things
sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of
any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse
than when other Presidents broke their promises.
In
the 2008 United States election, I wrote in Ron Paul for President. In the 2012
election, I voted for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Those who are
of a more leftist persuasion than myself might want to consider voting for the
Green Party in future elections.
Some
of the things on this list are major events that should scare the daylights out
of any true liberal who cares about civil liberties.
Other
things on this list are medium things that some Obama supporters may dislike,
but would be willing to overlook in light of the things that Obama has done
which they like.
And
some of the things on this list may seem trivial, but I still think they are an
interesting reflection of the kinds of policies that Obama supports.
Every
claim that I make in this list is sourced. Click on the blue text to see the
sources. I have cited a wide variety of sources, from right wing, to left wing,
to middle of the road.
I
welcome any comments and criticisms that you may have. If you say my list is
wrong, please back up your claim by citing specific examples.
And
now, on with the list:
1) Carried
out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval
In
June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had
violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libyawithout Congressional approval.
2) Gave
a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did
In
May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration
had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract
worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice
Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based
company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.
3) Has
an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn’t have any
While
running for President, Obama had promised that, unlike Bush, he would not have
any lobbyists working in his administration. However, by February 2010, he had
more than 40 lobbyists working in his administration.
4) Has
close ties to Wall St., but pretends to support Occupy Wall St.
Although
Obama claims to support the Occupy Wall St. movement, the truth is that he has
raised more money from Wall St. than any other
candidate during the last 20 years. In early 2012, Obama held a fundraiser
where Wall St. investment bankers and hedge fund managers each paid $35,800 to attend. In October 2011,
Obama hired Broderick Johnson, a longtime Wall
Street lobbyist, to be his new senior campaign adviser. Johnson had worked as a
lobbyist for JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Comcast, Microsoft,
and the oil industry.
5) Broke
his promise to close Guantanamo Bay
Obama broke his promise to close Guantanamo
Bay.
6) Supported
the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush
