Is Obama the worst president ever?

If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." — President Obama, Aug. 11, 2009

So said President Obama again and again through 2009 and 2010 as he sold Obamacare to the country. He promised. He put his personal integrity on the line. His word.

How many UPS employees voted for the president in 2008 and again in 2012? Because on Friday, UPS announced it was dumping 15,000 spouses of UPS employees from their UPS health plans despite the president's many, many promises to the contrary.

The UPS spouse-dump followed by a few days the news from New Jersey that Obamacare's rollout there will end the low-cost, high-deductible plan that more than 106,00 Jersey folks liked and which presumably many of them would have preferred to keep.

Oh, and the cost of individual plans are set to rise on average 41 percent in Ohio, and another major insurance company, Anthem Blue Cross, has pulled out of the California market for small businesses.

Let a thousand stink bombs go kaboom. Obamacare is the train wreck that just keeps arriving on an ever-more prolonged schedule.

Most Mainstream Media refuse to catalogue the consequences of the epic bill that went unread when it was passed without a single Republican vote in 2009. Most journalists just avert their eyes.

But now that that the bodies of hundreds of gassed Syrian children are piling up in Damascus and scores of Christian churches are burned-out shells in Egypt, it is getting harder and harder to find anything to write about the president that doesn't underscore his incompetence.

Obama's tenure is a vast desert of anti-achievement, a landscape of waste and ruin on every front at home and abroad, save on the ability to mobilize voters who don't know or don't care about the state of the country or the world.

The president rolled to re-election on the strength of technologies that enabled his minions to tap and turn out folks who simply are clueless that that nice fellow in the White House hasn't the foggiest idea of how to run the country.

Perhaps by the time you read this, the president will have ordered a few cruise missiles to fall on Damascus, and the anti-Sisi rhetoric will have been toned down in recognition that the general running Egypt is likely to be there far longer than the president is living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

But the prospect of 39 more months of the anti-president at the helm is daunting. No plans for anything except bus tours and college campus speeches, no idea how to invigorate a sputtering economy or trim a bloated budget.

Just miles and miles to go before we can can all sleep without the prospect of seeing him the next day, yet again, making another meaningless speech or filibustering another softball question from a kept White House press.

Many will argue that Stanley Baldwin was the worst of the modern British Prime Ministers, though a few remonstrate half-heartedly for Edward Heath, but Heath did not leave his country vulnerable to war and direct attack that killed hundreds of thousands.

Since 1979 and the acquiescence of the transfer of Iran to religious zealots with world-enders and Hidden Imam-summoners among them, I didn't think it was possible for an American president to be ranked below Jimmy Carter on the competence list.

But now we have Obama, with double the years that Carter had to more than double the wreckage of the Carter era. Obama is working on his place in history every day, and every day he is making that ranking more secure.

Obama (Zero) is the first post-American president. As such, since he's the only one on this newly created list, he's either the best.

Or the worst.

Yeah Hugh. It couldn't be that asshats like you were pushing an ineffectual, damaged POS like Romney, who turned off the GOP base, to go up against Zero.

Really? Andrew Jackson's atrocities isn't worse? Wilson's massive Progressive movement isn't worse? FDR interning an entire race of people and jailing business owners who didn't comply with his unconstitutional rules isn't worse? Johnson's Great Society Socialism, massive govt' programs and reckless foreign policy isn't worst? Jimmy Carters incompetence isn't worse?

Does your Funk and Wagnall only go back 20 years?

I always thought it was James Buchanan until Obama came around.

The Founders designed the powers of the Presidency to be relatively weak (they had understandable "king-o-phobia"). One of the prime funtions they envisioned for the President was to serve as a moral exemplar and, in that sense, Clinton was a ghastly disgrace.

So, he was every bit as politically corrupt as those you listed, but added the dimension of personal, moral and ethical corruption on a scale never before seen.

Clinton was the worst President, ever, and it's not even close.

How about FDR? Was he faithful to his wife? What about his internment of American citizens?

What measure do you use to gauge the morality of someone like FDR over that over Bill Clinton?

---

Draft evasion, drug use, personal financial malfeasance, what you and I would call perjury and indiscrete, flagrant, serial adultery that would've made FDR faint.

Obama is the worst hands down

The Price of a Preposterous Presidency

Just how much are we paying for the gooey warm glow of sanctimony liberals derive from Barack Obama’s “historic” presidency? The total cost is incalculable, but The Economic Collapse lists 33 documented facts that give a general idea in monetary terms, including:

• When the Obama era began, the average duration of unemployment in this country was 19.8 weeks. Today, it is 36.6 weeks.

• During the first four years of Obama, the number of Americans “not in the labor force” soared by an astounding 8,332,000. That far exceeds any previous four year total.

• Median household income in America has fallen for four consecutive years. Overall, it has declined by over $4000 during that time span.

• The poverty rate has shot up to 16.1 percent. That is actually higher than when the War on Poverty began in 1965.

• When Barack Obama entered the White House, there were about 32 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 47 million Americans on food stamps.

• When Barack Obama took office, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $1.85. Today, it is $3.53.

• Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.

• Health insurance costs have risen by 29 percent since Barack Obama became president, and Obamacare is going to make things far worse.

• During Obama’s first term, the federal government accumulated more new debt than it did under the first 42 U.S presidents combined.

• When you break it down, the amount of new debt accumulated by the U.S. government during Obama’s first term comes to approximately $50,521 for every single household in the United States.

Newsflash: Socialism does not work.
