More Than 101 Reasons
to Elect a New President
Worthy of a Great Nation:
Not the Abomination of an Obama Nation
(Based on an Idea and Initiative, and Built off a List, Launched by
KRLA Radio Talk Show Host and Constitutional Law Professor Hugh Hewitt)
1.
Obamacare
2. The Wasted
$850 billion
Stimulus
3.
Chronically high,
persistent unemployment
4. Gas
prices
5. Failure to pass a budget. The abject failure to get any kind of budget adopted during his Presidency, even when Democrats controlled the House and controlled a filibuster-proof Senate.
6. Multi-trillion debt free-fall. Falsely pledging to cut the deficit in half during his first term. Orchestrating a multi-trillion-dollar economic free-fall, with the nation presently more than $14 trillion in debt, and proposing to raise the debt to $18.7 trillion by 2021. His 2011 budget proposal was smashed unanimously in the Senate and crushed in a House vote 97-318, as his own Democrats abandoned him in droves.
7. The
seizure of GM and Chrysler. The illegal transfer of bondholder wealth
to unions,
8.
Dodd-Frank
9.
Unremitting hostility to
10.

11.
Failure to support the Syrian people's revolution
12. The
Libyan Fiasco
13. The
Gulf oil disaster. Bumbling in handling the Gulf oil disaster
14.
Closing down oil exploration. The
unnecessary moritorium on permitting oil exploration in the aftermath of the
Gulf oil disaster
15.
EPA interference. The
shutdown of Shell's Arctic oil exploration by EPA
16. Cap-and-Trade Fiasco. The push in Congress for a disastrous "cap-and-trade" plan that would stymie the coal, electric, and natural gas industries, while enormously raising Americans' home fuel prices, leading even his own party's U.S. Senator from West Virginia to film a TV promise to voters that he will shoot the proposal full of holes.
17. Use of federal agencies to bypass Congressional oversight. The attempt, after Congress refused to adopt his cap-and-trade nonsense, to bypass Congressional opposition and impose cap-and-trade undemocratically via the EPA.
18.
Use of FCC initially to restrict free speech. The
push for unconstitutional restrictions on free speech on his political enemies
on Talk Radio while assuring protections for unions to spend money on campaigns via The
Disclose Act
19.
The Disclose Act and cherry-picking. The
attempt to unconstitutionally impose The Disclose Act on his political opponents
but not unions via Executive Order
20.
Czars to bypass Congressional oversight. The
use of
unaccountable "czars"
21.
Boorish shaming of Supreme Court justices. The
arrogant
oral assault on the Supreme Court while Justices courteously attended
Obama's first State of the
24. Refusal to prosecute Black Panthers for Voter Intimidation. Obama's and Attorney-General Eric Holder's politicization of the Department of Justice, including refusing to prosecute the Black Panther voter-intimidation case in Philadelphia.
25. Marriage Act. Obama's and Holder's refusal to defend the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, an act of Congress.
26. Lies, Lies, Lies. The regular use of straw-man demonizations to try winning support for his unpopular legislation, like accusing doctors of performing unnecessary surgery so that they can enrich themselves by imposing misery on their patients.
27. Throwing his grandmother under the bus. Using his grandmother as a foil to win points, calling her a racist like a "typical white person."
28.
Bowing to the Saudi King and the Japanese emperor
29.
Treating our British alliance contemptuously. Shamefully returning to
Great Britain the
bust of Winston Churchill
30.
Violating and abrogating long-standing promises to our allies. Removing the
missile shield from
31.
Standing with the aspiring Honduran dictator.
Backing the would-be
dictator of Honduras when that nation's duly convoked
Supreme Court had removed him from office
32.
FTAs with allies. Failure to push for quick ratification of
free trade agreements with
33.
Amateurish handling of Afghanistan military effort. The
painfully
over-extended
indecision,
for months, whether to
34.
Incoherence on
35.
Radicalizing the NLRB outside Congressional purview.
Appointing [Harold] Craig Becker, a
radical
SEIU unionist, to the NLRB through a
recess appointment
36.
Radicalizing FCC outside Congressional purview. Appointing FCC commissioners who are pursuing "net neutrality" without
Congressional authorization
37.
Ecology gone wild in California.
Wiping out much of the agricultural economy of
38.
Gitmo debacles. Promising to close
39.
40. Napolitano out of touch. The shameful failure of Obama's Homeland Security chief, Janet Napolitano, to appreciate the Obama Administration's security failures in the face of the near-catastrophe of the "underwear bomber" in the skies over Detroit, as she insisted "the system worked."
41.
Student loans. Government
takeover of the student loan program
42. Border security. Cancellation of the "virtual border fence" project with no replacement, while deploying National Guard troops to do paper work at desk jobs and provide office assistance rather than stand armed along the border.
43. The
"Beer Summit." In the aftermath of wrongly castigating and erroneously
pre-judging fault
regarding
the Cambridge Police Department
44.
Immigration and Arizona. The
Department of
Justice's attack on
45. The
attack on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
Attacking the Wisconsin governor and his state legislature for exercising
their sovereign legislative authority on public employment issues
46. Lying to McCain on their deal over campaign fundraising. Violating his pledge to John McCain to abide by McCain-Feingold limits for funding his Presidential campaign.
47. Downplaying American exceptionalism during Apology Tours. Apologizing to foreign nations for America.
48.
Manipulating Tragedies for Cynical Political Gain.
Falsely asserting that
49. Chicago Olympics fiasco. Shamefully inserting himself into a $467,000 botched campaign to bring Olympic Games to Chicago, thereby exposing the Presidency of the United States to ridicule and formal rejection, and demonstrating early-on his overconfident sense of himself and his unpreparedness for the seriousness of his office.
50.
Hypocritical attack on D.C. public school voucher effort. The
attack on a voucher program
51. Associating with the murky. Associations with convicted unrepentant domestic terrorists and eccentric haters of America: the Reverend Wright, William Ayres, Van Jones.
52. Anita Dunn. Her war against Fox News and her boastfulness that the Obama White House has the "courage to speak truth to Power" -- when it is the White House, not a cable TV station, that is "Power"; and her speech to schoolchildren, as a White House representative, sharing with the young and impressionable her idolization and admiration of mass-murderer Mao Tse-Tung.
53. ACORN. Obama's exposed and discredited community-organizing centerpiece agency ultimately stripped bilaterally of its millions in federal funding by a Senate vote of 85-11 and a House vote of 345-75.
54. SEIU. Having Andrew Stern, President of SEIU, as the man who has visited the White House more than any other person during the Obama term.
55. Teleprompters / White House for Dummies. A reliance on teleprompters to protect him from stumbling and bumbling speeches when, without scripting, he has spoken of his visits to America's "57 states," has denigrated the handicapped, could not pronounce "corpsman," moronically said that Austrians speak "Austrian," referred to deceased war heroes adding that many were in the audience he was addressing, and has made more gaffes than Dan Quayle.
56. Arrogance and Haughtiness. An extreme level of personal
nose-in-the-air
arrogance and lack of graciousness, from physical comportment to the way he
addresses others. The
Greek columns.
57. Chicago Corruption. The house he corruptly acquired through Tony Rezko.
58. The artificial shifting dialects. Affecting an artificial accent when speaking to unions, and to others with whom he allies in his "class wars," that belies his having grown up in Hawaii, reared by a Caucasian grandmother, his having spent years being schooled in Indonesia, and later attending school at Occidental College in California, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School.
59. Lack of transparency. Refusing to share his academic records or the sources through which he paid for private college and law school, despite his pre-election calls for transparency.
62. Wasting billions on corrupt "Palestine" agencies. Pumping billions more into the discredited United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA) and the Palestinian Authority that merged with the terrorist Hamas.
69. The Marie Antoinette Factor. Michelle high-profile huge trips abroad, a la Eva Peron, with family friends and their children partying on the public payroll, at 5-star hotels in places like Spain.
70. Al Sharpton. Launching his national presidential reelection campaign with a speech to Al Sharpton's base.
71
72
73
78. Manipulating legislation by forcing votes on massive documents. Racing massive thousand-page legislation packages through Congress without allowing Congress or the American People time to read, comprehend, and absorb the bill -- and thus breaking a major campaign promise.
79. The Credit Rating downgrade. Presiding over the first credit-rating downgrade in American history.
80. Timing military campaigns to coincide with election campaigns. Manipulating and sacrificing the lives of American soldiers, basing a withdrawal from Afghanistan not on strategic national security considerations but timed instead to coincide with the start of the 2012 Democrat Presidential Convention.
81. NLRB. Stacking the National Labor Relations Board with left-focused political hacks who are attempting to prevent America's leading exporter, Boeing, from building a $1 billion manufacturing plant in South Carolina because that state permits employment of non-union labor.
82. Cynically manipulating the national Strategic Oil Reserve. Releasing 30 million barrels of oil from the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to obtain the temporary political goal of lowering gasoline prices that have skyrocketed in the face of his severe restrictions on permitting exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, along the Atlantic coast, and in Alaska in his obsessive pursuit of "green jobs."
83. "Operation Fast and Furious" debacle. Allowing Mexican drug lords to access illegal firearms, then losing track of the firearms while the drug cartels used the illegal firearms for crime including murdering Americans.
84. Lying, lying, and more lying to voters. Trying to create class warfare by telling people that Republicans' refusal to raise taxes will cause youngsters to be unable to finance their college educations, while causing seniors to lose health care and social security payments. Failing to admit honestly that Congress extended the Bush tax cuts and refused to increase taxes even when Democrats had a filibuster-proof Senate and veto-proof control of both Congressional chambers.
85. Investigating CIA patriots. The Holder investigation into CIA operatives' interrogations of suspected Al Qaeda terrorists and their use of methods that had been approved in advance by the Justice Department.
86. The Keystone XL Pipeline. Knowing how desperately America needs domestic energy resources and to wean away from reliance on foreign oil (in general) and Arab Gulf Oil dictatorships (in particular), yet cynically deciding not to engage the Keystone KL Pipeline project until after the 2012 elections in order to placate "green" voters.
87. Solyndra. Scandalously approving more than $535 million in loan guarantees to a failing "green energy" company that ultimately went bankrupt, losing more than 1,100 jobs, and cynically pressing the company to conceal the layoffs and job terminations until the day after the 2010 bi-elections for Congressional and U.S. Senate seats.
88. Supporting the "Occupy" Movement While Denigrating the "Tea Party." Repeatedly expressing support for the "Occupy Wall Street"-and-related-"Occupy" movements that have caused major cities more than $10 million in sanitation and policing costs by creating Obamaville tent settlements marked by severe crime, rapes, public health and sanitation issues, public sex acts and public defecations, and mass arrests -- all in support of an "anti-Wall Street" theme that cynically ignores Obama's unique fundraising connections to Wall Street, Obama's FreddieMac and FannieMae handouts and the millions of dollars in bonuses paid Obama appointees and loyalists, and the connection between George Soros, MoveOn.org, and Wall Street money.
89. Calling Americans "Lazy," Blaming Americans for the Economic Crises Arising from Failed Federal Policies, and Lecturing African-Americans to "Quit Your Whining." The repeated failure to accept personal responsibility for national problems arising from failed and misguided policies, instead attempting to shift blame onto civilians across the political and societal spectrum.
90. Leadership Truancy in the Face of a Deadlocked "Super Committee." Sitting outside the epicenter of Republican-Democrat debt negotiations undertaken by the Debt "Super Committee," offering neither vision nor leadership, and then pontificating immediately after the "Super Committee" conceded deadlock and defeat, unable to resolve differences over approaches to debt reduction and budget balancing.
91. Foreign Aid to China. In contradistinction to fair-minded differences among policy-makers whether foreign aid to Pakistan and other such societies advances American national strategic interests, blithely continuing to implement an unequivocally tragic policy of extending foreign aid to China with money that America must initially borrow from China, thus ramping American debt to China to such high levels that American interest payments alone pay for the upgrading of the Chinese military machine that threatens American strategic interests throughout the world -- and possibly America itself.
92. Campaigning for Office in Lieu of Focusing on Executive Responsibilities as the President. Devoting extraordinary amounts of public time to campaigning through Midwestern "swing states" and regularly traveling to Los Angeles Hollywood elites and New York Wall Street elites to attend fundraising soirees and campaign dinners, neglecting traditional leadership responsibilities historically borne by first-term Presidents facing reelection.
93. Harassing Major Job-Creating Corporations Like Gibson Guitar. Abusing the "Lacey Act" to protect special Obama-favored corporate interests by harassing a spectrum of companies like Gibson Guitar
94. The "Recovery Summer" That Wasn't. Creating a hoopla in June 2010 to promote the great "recovery Summer" that wasn't: "[A] six-week-long focus on the surge in Recovery Act infrastructure projects that will be underway across the country in the coming months – and the jobs they’ll create well into the fall and through the end of the year . . . [S]ummer 2010 is actually poised to be the most active Recovery Act season yet, with tens of thousands of projects underway across the country that will help to create jobs for American workers and economic growth for businesses, large and small." Not.
95. Seeking Advice from John Corzine as a Financial Guru. Frequently turning to Corzine for financial advice, placing him on the "short list" for Secretary of the Treasury, Biden calling him "the smartest guy I know on the economy," all while Corzine's MF Global lost $1.2 billion, capped by Corzine's sworn Congressional testimony: ""I simply do not know where the money is, or why the accounts have not been reconciled to date."
96. Defense Department, Following White House Guidelines, Describing the Ft. Hood Massacre as "Workplace Violence." Even as the gunman, Dr. Nidal Hassan, murdered thirteen and seriously wounded dozens more, rampaging and shouting "Allahu Akhbar!" a 24-page Defense Department report refused to see the incident beyond workplace violence.
97. Demagogically Lying by Asserting Publicly That Republicans Want Dirty Air and Dirty Water. In a campaign speech on October 17, 2011 at Asheville, North Carolina, telling the audience that Republican policy planners have said "Let's have dirtier air, dirtier water."
98. Impotently Reacting When an American UAV ("Drone") Was Lost in Iran. Rather than ordering its technologically to be destroyed remotely, embarrassingly pleading with Iran to return the Drone, leading Iranian leaders to mock: "Obama wants his toy plane back."
99. The LightSquared Scandal. Protecting Obama supporters George Soros and Philip Falcone by pressuring four-star Air Force General William Shelton to alter Congressional testimony about the dangers to national security caused by communications interference to GPS posed by the proposed LightSquared broadband signal.
100. Defying the Constitution to Name a New Czar. Exercising the imperial opaque Presidency, in contempt of the United States Constitution, by naming Czar Richard Cordray to head up Obama's new "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)" even though a Presidential "recess appointment" was illegal because (i) Congress was not in recess, and (ii) the CFPB legislation requires that its head be approved by the U.S. Senate.
101. Defying the Constitution to Appoint 3 Puppets to the 5-Person NLRB. Exercising the imperial opaque Presidency, in contempt of the United States Constitution, by naming three puppets to the National Labor Relations Board even though a Presidential "recess appointment" was illegal because Congress was not in recess.
102. Forcing Secular Dictates onto Religious Institutions. Coercing Catholic hospitals and other Catholic charities or their insurers to dispense birth control and other services that violate the Church's religious conscience, and forcing Catholic adoptive agencies out of business by withdrawing funding from them if they refuse to place orphans in gay households. Threatening the historic First Amendment boundaries protecting religious liberty.
103. Fashioning a "Nanny State" That
Confiscates Children's Lunch Boxes. Creating a chaotic
federal system that authorizes U.S.D.A.-directed government officials to
confiscate children's lunch boxes from home -- even when Mom has
packed a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, an apple, and some chips
-- because Mom's healthy lunch did not meet the U.S.D.A. profile.
