Yes it’s not even comparable. Now even though I am right wing we have to consider we have a full 8 years of Obama to judge. Where as we just have one with Trump this far. What Trump has done in his first year see my post on the first page and that’s not everything either.
What Obama had done
- Promised to end the Iraq War in 16 months. Finally removed all troops after 35 months, when negotiations to keep them longer failed.
- Told us of his great success creating a stable Iraq. Told us ISIS was an irrelevant JV team. Oops, and we ended up back in Iraq with several thousand troops, fighting ISIS there and across the Middle East.
- Signed his first Executive Order to prevent the hiring of lobbyists into senior government positions. Waived that order a few dozen times so he could hire lobbyists into senior government positions.
- Promised a policy of "fiscal responsibility". Tripled the annual deficit from previous levels, and had signed $8+ Trillion of new debt into law early on taking office.
- As a Senator, properly declared that Bush couldn't attack Iran without Congressional authorization. As President, ignored the War Powers Resolution, and attacked Libya without Congressional authorization. Stated he could do the same for Syria.
- Rammed an $800 Billion spending bill through Congress during his first month, with the intent of keeping Unemployment below 8% (and expected to have Unemployment down to 5% by 2013). Unemployment was above 8.3% through Aug 2012, and above 9% for 2 1/2 years.
- Told us in 2009 that his policies would ensure a 2012 deficit of $557 Billion. The 2012 deficit was $1,087 Billion.
- Blamed everything on Republicans. Even though Democrats controlled the House & Senate during his first two years in office, and passed any bill he told them to.
- Believed that it's Constitutional for the Federal Government to dictate that every American must purchase a specified commercial product. Which the Supreme Court upheld as yet another massive new tax.
- Endlessly attacked and opposed the "Bush tax cuts". Until he continued and expanded them years after they would have expired.
- Promised to close Gitmo in a year. Still was promising to close Gitmo, seven years later.
- Promised to use public campaign financing. Turned himself into a liar after the 2008 nomination was locked up, proceeded to run a $750,000,000 campaign with private donations.
- Stated that he was against a mandate to purchase health insurance. Signed a massive "health care" bill into law, centered on a mandate for every American to purchase health insurance.
- Clearly and firmly stated his religious conviction that marriage is between a man & women. Until he needed to pander for more votes, six months before the election.
- Promised to end domestic surveillance of Americans. Radically expanded the program, while keeping it a secret from his supporters.
- Told us he'd restore America's position and respect in the world.
at that, but he was real close buddies with the globalists.
- Told us he wouldn't sign "Obamacare" legislation unless it was deficit neutral. We then find out it would cost $1.3 Trillion over the next decade.
- The now-infamous: "If you like your health insurance, you can keep it", along with the lie that household insurance costs would drop by $2,500 per year.
-Largest transfer of wealth to corporations in US history.
-Regime change foreign policy in Libya and Syria lead to ISIS strongholds. There was creation and expansion of ISIS under his watch.
-It took 232 years for the U.S. to become 10 trillion in debt, Obama accomplished nearly that in 8 years with 9 trillion
-First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
-Out sourced tons of jobs
-Insane military cut backs
-IRS abuses
-Operation Fast and Furious
-Iran Deal
-Secret payout to Iran
-Flooded the country with refugees
-Transgender bathrooms
- DACA (through executive fiat)
- Signed an executive order that made ICE Release 19,723 Criminal Aliens in 2015. One of those crimson illegals was the individual who killed Kate Steinle.
