Obama Worst President Ever, I Hope Romney Wins

[Corp. Taxes Suck]

You have to know how poorly Barack Hussein Obama has performed in office when the phrase the "worst President ever" has already become a cliché.







 





Obama's first term is frequently compared to the devastation of Jimmy Carter's first and only term. It left Carter a rejected, embittered man, frequently critical of those who succeeded him.



What did President Reagan do to create an economic boom in the wake of Carter's sorry record?



Peter Ferrara, the Director of Entitlement and Budget Policy for The Heartland Institute, who served in the Reagan White House Office of Policy Development, writing in 2008 cited Reagan's (1) tax cuts to restore incentives for economic growth, (2) spending reductions, including a $31 billion cut in spending in 1981, close to 5% of the federal budget, (3) an anti-inflation monetary policy restraining money supply growth, (4) deregulation that by 2008 had saved consumers an estimated $100 billion in lower prices, and (5) free trade in the form of worldwide agreements to reduce tariff taxes.







 





Citing tax cuts, Ferrara noted that "Reagan was not the first or last to adopt sweeping tax cuts to boost the economy. It has happened four, perhaps five, times in the last century, with virtually the same results every time."



Obama has never stopped talking about raising taxes and his signature legislation, Obamacare, had more than twenty increases in taxes embedded—hidden—in the more than 2,000 pages that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi famously said had to be passed in order "to find out what is in it."



In contrast to Reagan, Obama has spent his years in office blaming George W. Bush and even the Clinton years for the economy he "inherited", but which more accurately stated, was an economy he campaigned to fix, promising hope and change.



In 2005, Dr. Hans F. Sennholz, the chairman of the department of economics at Grove City College, wrote an analysis of "The Economics of Jimmy Carter" noting that Carter was "unaware of the inexorable economic principles that direct and determine economic life."



Carter, Sennholz wrote, was unaware that, "Consumers determine not only the prices of consumer goods but also those of the factors of production, that is, land, labor, and capital. They determine and pay the wages of every worker" noting also that "Carter never tires of expounding his displeasure and irritability about the income and wealth of many capitalists and about government policies that seem to favor the rich." Who does that sound like today?



In January of this year, looking back over the first three years of Obama economic policies, an Indiana University study noted that 46 million Americans are living below the poverty line—up 27% since the start of the recession dated back to 2006.



The report stated that "The Great Recession has left behind the largest number of long-term unemployed people since records were first kept in 1948. More than four million Americans report that they have been unemployed for more than twelve months."



For those who still think Obama can be reelected, it is worth noting that the most severely affected states are Florida, Nevada, and Arizona which have been badly hit by the housing foreclosure crisis, and Michigan and Ohio that have seen the collapse of traditional manufacturing. These are all key states Obama would need to win.



On July 27, The Washington Post reported that the U.S. economic growth had slowed to 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter as consumer spending weakened. "The growth estimate Friday from the government suggested that the U.S. economy could be at risk of stalling three years after the recession ended." While the official unemployment rate is 8.2 percent, it is widely believed to be above 10 percent.



"No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the depths of the Great Depression, has been reelected when the unemployment rate exceeded 8 percent," said the Associated Press report. "Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush were ousted when unemployment was well below 8 percent."



At this point, the Obama campaign, unable to run on his economic record, has devoted itself to depicting Mitt Romney as a rapacious capitalist who grew wealthy investing in companies, a felon who continued to run Bain Capital after leaving to save the Salt lake City Olympics (a job for which he took no pay), and for failing to release his tax returns going back many years. Not mentioned is the fact that Obama is a multi-millionaire or his total lack of experience in the private sector.



Repeating all the errors of the Carter years and exacerbating the 2008 financial crisis by spending billions in taxpayer funds on failed "stimulus" programs, Obama compounded the crisis by waging war on the nation's energy sector, wasting more billions on "clean energy", and using executive orders to circumvent immigration and welfare laws on the books.



The result has been the highest levels of federal deficit and debt in the history of the nation. He has, indeed, exceeded the damage Jimmy Carter inflicted during his only term in office. He is, indeed, the worst President ever.

Let's hope the momentum continues and Romney defeats that incompetant Obama.



Saturday, October 06, 2012



 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.

 

These results are based upon nightly interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, only about two-thirds of the interviews for today's update were conducted after the presidential debate. Sunday morning's update will be the first national polling based entirely upon post-debate interviews.

 

Still, the numbers reflect quite a debate bounce for Romney. Heading into Wednesday's showdown, it was the president who enjoyed a two-point advantage. Today is the first time Romney has been ahead by even a single point since mid-September. See daily tracking history. As with all bounces, it remains to be seen whether it is a temporary blip or signals a lasting change in the race.

 

Both men have solidified their partisan base. Romney is supported by 89% of Republicans and Obama by 88% of Democrats. Among those not affiliated with either major party, Romney leads by 16.

 

The generation gap remains wide. Obama leads by double digits among those under 40. Romney leads by double digits among those over 40.

 

Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

 

Post-debate state polls show Romney up one in Virginia,  the president up one in Ohio and Romney up two in Florida. All three remain Toss-Ups in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Check out our review of last week's key polls to see "What They Told Us."



 Some in Washington believe that Americans would be less cynical about government if they actually saw how things worked in the nation's capital. However, Neil Barofsky believes the opposite is true and that things are even worse than imagined. Barofsky is in a unique position to make that assessment having served as the Special Inspector General for the TARP bailouts. He joins Scott Rasmussen on this weekend's edition of What America Thinks and contends that both the Bush and Obama administrations were more interested in bailing out Wall Street than in helping Main Street. See some of what Barofsky had to say here.  

 

The show this week also features William McGurn from the Wall Street Journal and Dan Gerstein from Gotham Ghostwriters analyzing the state of the presidential race following Wednesday night's debate. Both men have served as presidential speechwriters. They also take some time to look at why Democrats are now favored to retain control of the U.S. Senate.

 

What America Thinks airs each weekend on over 60 stations nationwide. It can be found on WLNY in New York at 10:30 on Sunday morning and on KCBS in Los Angeles at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. In Phoenix, it's on CBS5 at 5 pm on Sunday. See the list of stations here.

 

Scott Rasmussen's weekly newspaper column noted that "incumbent presidents often struggle in the first debate and do better in the second. Ronald Reagan may be the greatest example of this. After a very poor performance in the first debate of 1984, many wondered whether Reagan's age had caught up with him. Walter Mondale and his team thought they had a chance. But the veteran performer turned it all around at the beginning of the second debate by pledging not to make his 'opponent's youth and inexperience an issue' in the campaign. Even Mondale laughed, although he had to know his chances of winning the election disappeared at that moment."

 

Rasmussen wonders, "Does Obama have a comeback like that in him? We'll find out on Oct. 16."

I think Romney is a corporate boy as many have been, and will be, but yeah Obama is the worst ever beating Carter even.

You cant blame it all on Obama, or any president though. You have a Congress, and Senate to blame also, especially when Nancy was in charge.  

Cant say much for the present boring one we have now either, but at least it's halted the all out free for all in waste, and spending.



I still expect Obama to win, it's all fixed I believe now.

all BS aside Obongo is definitely the worst president ever, but that's what happens when affirmative action is the norm.....you just keep dumbing it down until any one is acceptable

[Rambo Wong]

I think Obama is going to be assassinated because white people are so racist

You got that right, it started going strong in the late 80s, and ruined a lot .

I put in for a state trooper job back around 89 I believe, and didn't get it because they had to hire more black woman .

Even though I passed everything with high scores people with less, or failing marks got the job.

One of the hiring personnel told me it was a shame, but that was the new rules. I saw so many people not get hired because that reverse racism stuff.

Who do you blame, well everyone, and the representatives you elect not the people getting the advantages.

[Frost]

You know to bad Obama isn't a middle of the road kind of politician, and not in peoples pocket like he is George Soros.

He with his voice, and public speaking ability to make people believe could have been one of the greatest presidents.  

No luck for us though, he so far left he makes the French seem conservative.

I remember someone mentioning once that he was a Pan Socialist, but I think he's a very ignorant one thinking everyone wants a one world government with everyone paying for it that earns the money, or to pander to his money men.
