Imperial Failure

Has Obama succeeded in making America a more prosperous nation since taking office? Is he a president whose decisions are constitutionally grounded? Is he a leader who stands for truth, justice and the American way? I believe Obama as a president is a failure on every quantifiable level. Forget the "American Dream." His ideological driven policies have for the most part killed the dream. How so you ask? Have we not seen the effects of Obama's imperial style powers that the executive branch has accumulated to the detriment of the Constitution's checks and balances? Do you want me to list a few presidential constitutional violations? How about suspending the employer mandate by presidential decree and other unilateral actions to revise Obamacare? How about Obama's executive order to enforce the "Dream Act" (this without the approval of Congress)? Did he not also preside over the IRS who discriminated and penalized conservative organizations? According to constitutional scholars, "The president cannot suspend laws altogether. He cannot favor non-endorsed bills over duly enacted laws. And he cannot discriminate on the basis of politics in his execution of the law." Has not the president crossed all three of these lines? Sure he has.

And what about his character? Is he not constantly blaming others for his troubles? How often have we heard him say "It was the GOP's fault; it was bad luck; I inherited this state of disarray?" Is it not humiliating to see a president so willing to advertise his own inadequacies, so comfortable with his own ineffectiveness? Have we ever had a more dishonest president than Barack Obama? His lies are also a testament to his character. The truth is not in him.  He not only lies to cover his misdeeds-he lies to get his way. He lies to denigrate others and to make himself acceptable at their detriment. He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother and father. One can only suppose that his lying is habitual and is somewhat associated by sociological and psychological influences of and in his past. To think otherwise is to not think at all.
