What’s a guy to do when a lot of people are readying to take down just about everything he has worked for the last eight years. I suppose words that come\u00a0to one’s mind include: pout, scramble, call in favors, coerce, make quid pro quo deals, create diversions, and lie, lie lie. Also, if you are Barack Hussein Obama, you go on vacation. Go figure.<\/p>\n

THE PUTIN RUSE<\/h3>\n

How scared is Obama about not having a Legacy to put on exhibit anywhere, let alone a desired building dedicated to his believed greatness and many envisioned accomplishments? Well, he is so concerned, reportedly<\/a>, he recently used that ‘red phone,’ you know, the ‘nuclear one,’ to warn Putin to not meddle in our election. However, the news source on this story is not so credible anymore. It was his good buddies at NBC News who happened to report it when he needed it reported on December 19th<\/sup><\/em> and that ‘important’ call was supposedly made on October 31st<\/sup><\/u>! Interesting.<\/p>\n

All this Putin blaming is close to assuredly a ruse, with no real substantiated backing. Reportedly, is the word and our government agencies’ findings have really not been reported to us with evidence? Again, interesting. Do you really think Putin wanted Trump to win the election? Give me a break. See my last article, ‘<\/em>Putin Would Prefer Hillary<\/a>.<\/em>‘<\/em><\/p>\n

OBAMA’S LEGACY OF RECORD SETTING<\/h3>\n

‘101 Unfunded Mandates And Counting’ is the title of a report from Sam Batkins, the director of regulatory policy at the American Action Forum, from which I quote,<\/em> “The Obama Administration has set several notable records in the regulatory world: 600 major regulations<\/a>\u00a0and counting, more than 10 billion hours<\/a>\u00a0of federal paperwork, and the costliest single year<\/a>\u00a0in regulation in recent history. It’s time for another record: 101 unfunded regulatory mandates imposed on states, local governments, and businesses. From 1996 to 2008, since the inception of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), which establishes a regulatory procedure for these federal mandates, there were only 88. Broadly, an unfunded mandate is defined as a regulation, without explicit Congressional consent or adequate federal funding, which may displace state or local priorities. President Obama managed to easily top 13 years of unfunded mandates in less than eight.” See rest the of this impressive report at this link<\/em>: ‘101 Unfunded Mandates And Counting<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

When Obama couldn’t win support for his legislation, he relied on executive orders that could, and almost certainly will, be reversed by President Trump, everything from immigration reform to reducing carbon emissions. And don’t forget his legacy of corruption in various government agencies such as the IRS<\/a>, Justice<\/a>, EPA<\/a>, and BLM<\/a>, just to name a few. Also see: ‘The Crime of the Century<\/a>‘ \u2013 White House Corruption. And now his most recent preposterous rule change drastically affecting national security: ‘Obama Scrapping Registration of Aliens from Mostly Muslim Nations<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

Actually, an ‘Obama \u2013 Our Worst President Library’ might be hard pressed for space if it included this info.<\/p>\n

    The above list and more was featured in my December 15, 2015 article ‘Democrats Should Be Ashamed of their Leader<\/em><\/a>.’<\/em><\/p>\n

    All this and did you notice, I didn’t even have to emphasize the lingering bad taste from the waste and damage caused by ObamaCare which was really another ruse to take us into the socialists” world of single pay government insurance.<\/p>\n

    Let me leave you with an interesting poll that my favorite TV news commentator on Fox Business News (FBN), did. Lou Dobbs asked the question, ‘Will Pres Obama go down as the worst president in history? His responses were Yes: 88%, and No: 12%. Now that is a legacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Actually, I almost feel I should apologize to FBN’s Stuart Varney, Neil Cavuto, Charles Payne and Maria Bartiromo because it is nearly impossible to call one of these Greatest American TV news commentators the best. If you haven’t already figured it out, Fox Business News is where it’s at, when you’re looking for the best there is in original-source, vetted TV news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
