The Pink Slip President

Big Government  "It’s only now that America is slowly coming to realize that Barack Obama might not have been the best choice for the job. After filling the position, one of the President’s responsibilities was to institute policies that stimulate the creation of new jobs, and he claimed to have a laser-like focus on doing just that. Yet, over the past three years, the only thing Barack Obama has successfully done is break the all time record for the number of golf games played by a sitting president."

From Jonathan Alter: You Think Obama’s Been a Bad President? Prove It   From the comments to this post:
"Here is a list for you:
1. Stole shareholder property and placed most of American auto industry in government hands simply to pay off his union cronies - that money, both government and what the shareholders would get as proceeds of bankruptcy, would've gone directly to job creation
2. Allowed regulatory system to stifle business expansion
3. Created a hostile business climate with constant class warfare rhetoric
4. Presided over health care law that destroys american health care, and creates monumental obstacles to business, particularly small business that would otherwise grow with the 50 employee threshold
5. Created investment uncertainty and outright hostility with constant attempts to raise taxes.
6. Enlarged American budget deficit to average 1.5 billion
7. Enlarged American debt to 14 trillion, both deficit and debt with spending that amounted to nothing more than spoils systems for favored and friendly constituencies
And as you say all that before we consider the total absence of leadership which is THE primary job of a president.
Face it, the man is a total and abject failure."
