It is my
privilege to speak to you today, and especially to have this chance to debate
Professor Julander. I am in awe of his
abilities, accomplishments, and his legacy.
A story out
of my own life:
Water damage
from a leaking roof caused damage to the bricks of our front porch. We hired a contractor who promised clean the stained
bricks and protect them from further deterioration.
We watched
him with hope as he scoured the bricks with acid and then sprayed them with an
expensive water based sealant. After great
cost, the bricks looked worse – much worse! I called my lawyer and wrote a very
nasty letter to the better business bureau.
Six painful
years ago Barak Obama promised to fix our nation and the world – he has made it
worse – much worse – and this will be his legacy.
I will
organize Obama’s disappointments and disasters under 3 headings: Domestic
Policy, Foreign Policy, and Miscellaneous bungles:
Domestic
Policy
1. Obama
Care – lies and failure. You can keep
your policy – LIE, You can keep your Dr. – LIE, The average family will save
$2,500 a year – LIE, less than one trillion $ price tag – LIE [It’s going over
2 trillion!!] 7.1 mil now signed up – LIE.
When the bill was passed 43
million Americans did not have coverage, six million have lost their health
care due to Obama Care so even if 7 million have signed up, there are still 42
million Americans without healthcare. His
legacy legislation a failure, he made things worse.
2. National
Debt – When Obama came to office it was 10. 626 trillion dollars –now it is
17.555 trillion. Such an obscenity is “unpatriotic”!!
3.
Unemployment – today, if calculated as
it was when Obama came to office, is 12.5%; up from 8.7%. Many more are now part-time workers and wages
have stagnated. Failure!! – He made
things worse.
4. Obama has
locked up our nations resources. If we
were allowed to access our nation’s oil and gas supplies we could be exporting
energy to China and the world. China
would be our best friend, buying energy from us not Iran!!! We would be rich on the trade, with lower
energy prices at home. Obama’s
politically driven agenda robs us of wealth and puts us in danger.
5. Obama has
abandoned the Space Program. What would
John Kennedy say if he knew that his country was forced to buy rides into space
from the Russians, at $71 million a whack?
We have lost all the precious discoveries and scientific advances of
being on the cutting edge of space exploration and are paying the Russians to
develop those untold treasure for themselves.
Other failures
include: increasing crime rate, crumbling infrastructure, rising taxes,
ballooning trade deficit, burgeoning government regulations, denigrating race
relations, legalized marijuana, 100+ million abortions per annum , failed
immigration policy, 30% increase in food stamp dependency, and much more.
Foreign
Policy
The legacy
moment of Obama’s foreign policy debacle will be his whispered promise to
Medvedev, the pretend President of Russia, that he would be more free [to kowtow
to Russia] once re-elected.
His naïveté
about the real dangers of the world were demonstrated during his second run for
president when he insisted that Russia was no longer a danger. Neville
Chamberlin was never such a fool.
A list of Obama’s
Failures in foreign policies:
1. He lost
the peace in Iraq – turning our ally in the gulf over to Iranian dominance.
2. China is grabbing territory from Japan while backing Iran
in the UN and perpetrating genocide in
Tibet.
3. Obama
drew a red line on the use of chemical weapons. Syria’s dictator crossed it when Assad had
only killed 70 thousand of his own people.
Now that the number of dead has reach 140 K, Obama remains
impotent. His bogus ultimatum made
America weak in the eyes of the world and put us all in danger. Churchill would call him the boneless wonder! So will History!!
3. Last
November, Sec. of State John Kerry, announced the U. S. would abandon the
Monroe Doctrine, practically inviting Russian and Chinese military into Cuba
and Venezuela. Once more John Kenney is
spinning in his tomb.
4. Having
sold out our allies by unilaterally canceling the missile defense shield for
Eastern Europe, to curry favor with the Russians, Obama stood by impotent as
Putin gobbled up the Crimea in violation of treaties and our promises of
protection. Now America stands helpless
as Russia gulps down its neighbors in a fashion that would make Hitler blush.
5. As
Obama’s feckless Secretary Sec of State, John Kerry flees the Middle East,
leaving Israel and the Palestinians teetering on the edge of war, Obama turns
dominance of that part of the world over to the Iranian monster state, weeks
away for an atomic bomb. Iranian mullahs continue to abuse its people while using
Chinese oil money to arm terrorists throughout the world, undermine the
democracy in Iraq, support Assad and fund the Taliban in Afghanistan; where
Obama has announced the date certain of our surrender. Our enemies are joyous;
our few remaining friends are in dismay.
Such foreign
policy failures will be Obama’s legacy.
Other
memorable debacles:
1. North
Korea fires missiles toward Japan and builds miniature nuclear bombs.
2. Obama’s ATF runs guns to Mexican drug dealers and
covers up the murders.
3. Al Qaeda
in Libyan murdered four Americans including our Ambassador. Obama covered up the terrorist attack for
political reasons. Believe me “it matters” a lot to Americans and to Obama’s
legacy.
4. Obama’s
flunkies at the IRS target free speech for political reasons.
5. Obama
uses the NSA to spy on every citizen as if there were no bill of rights.
6. Obama
makes plans to hand over the Internet to America’s enemies.
7. Obama shows
contempt for the Constitution and for separation of powers with his pen and his
phone.
Obama’s legacy will be one of shame, and unless
these catastrophes are reversed, Obama’s legacy may well be the beginning of
the Decline and Fall of America. He has
made our country worse; we must call the lawyers and write a very angry letter
to History.
*************************************************Here follow two arguments I was able to present during our discussion:
*Obama is already unwelcome on the campaign
trail of Democrats.
** “On
Claims that Bush (or other past presidents also failed) It is like the “Blade
Runner Killer” in South Africa claiming justification for shooting his wife
while she was sitting on the toilet by pointing out that Othello also killed
his wife. Or my
contractor, after pocketing thousands of my dollars excusing his failure by
saying, “he only did a little more damage than the leaking roof.”
**************************************************
A Bit of
Rebuttal
1. On the
claim that “Republicans fought Social Security and Social Security turned out
to be wonderful so now Republicans will be wrong on Obama Care”:
a) Consider
that Social Security is headed for collapse, partly because Democrats stole the
funds to by stuff, rather than investing them to make a profit. Our country cannot afford it and will either
have to modify it or drop it all together before most young Americans can
benefit from it.
b) Do people
really think that the government taking a big chunk out of every paycheck and
giving it to other people just because they are old is a good idea?
c) The claim
that Republicans were “wrong on Social Security” and therefore their opposition
to Obama Care is wrong is the logical fallacy of False Analogy. Let me point out some other Democrat Party
supported programs opposed by the Republicans – Slavery and Jim Crow. Aren’t we glad they didn’t work out!
2. On the
claim that Social Security worked out well [People investing their own money in
the stock market or other investment programs would probably have worked out
better.] therefore Obama Care will also be wonderful in two years – is another
false analogy. It’s like saying, “Gee,
World War II worked out great; so let’s all go to Viet Nam.”
3. Of the 29
“disasters and disappointments” presented as proof of President Obama’s
negative legacy; the only one discussed, and that in no way conclusively, was
on Obama Care. Not much on which to hang
any hope for a positive legacy.
