150 Reasons Why Barack Obama Is the Worst President in History by Matt Margolis, Mark Noonan Read Free Book Online

Introduction
     
    When Americans are asked “Who is the worst president in history?” and “Who is the best president in history?” one man ranks high on both lists: Barack Hussein Obama.
    How can he appear on both lists so frequently? The truth is, polls won’t tell you much except that the respondents have stronger feelings, good and bad, about recent presidents than those of many years past. As opinionated as we Americans are about how Obama measures up, history will be the ultimate judge.
    The goal of this book is make sure the truth about Obama’s record is not forgotten, so that history can make an honest, informed assessment of the Obama presidency. History will want Obama to be viewed favorably because he’s the first black president. But we can’t afford to let political correctness rewrite his true record.
    We have a responsibility to ensure that history won’t gloss over Obama’s failures. It’s true that all presidents, even those who are judged favorably, are flawed people with imperfect records. But sometimes history ignores the most valuable lessons of our most transformative political figures. Bill Clinton takes credit for a booming economy that would have never happened had it not been for Newt Gingrich and his Contract With America. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is credited with ending the Great Depression despite the fact he prolonged it.
    Unlike FDR, Obama won’t be able to hide his record or run for three terms while a generation adapts to the new normal. So honesty has a fighting chance this time. We will document the truth about Obama’s record for future generations, so they will know the true history and won’t be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
    After Obama was reelected, we decided it was time to compile everything about Obama’s record that the media and academia chose to ignore (or cover up) so that the people could have all the facts in one place. There’s a lot of information on the following pages, more information than most people can remember in its entirety, and certainly more information than was ever discussed during the 2012 presidential election. Some failures are more egregious than others, but each reveal inconvenient facts about Obama’s real legacy. This isn’t about partisanship. This is about the truth.
    History is the ultimate judge, we just want to make sure that history gets it right.
 

Conclusion
     
    How will the historians of the future assess the presidency of Barack Obama? He would like to be remembered as the president that saved America from another Great Depression, the president that ushered in a new era of government transparency and accountability. Obama would like to be remembered as the president that cut taxes for the middle class, and lowered the cost of healthcare while providing coverage for all Americans. He’ll want history to remember him for making America safer from the threat of terrorism, all while improving the nation’s standing in the world. He’ll expect the shortcomings of his presidency to be attributed to his predecessor, with his own, unblemished presidency to be an unquestionable success.
    It would be a great legacy, if any of it were true.
    As patriotic Americans, we felt it was our duty to document the facts of Obama’s presidency, so that his legacy will be defined by the truth, not his own fantasy talking points.
    During Obama’s first term alone, we’ve seen an economy hobble along thanks to a failed stimulus, new taxes, and regulations. We’ve seen more people leave the workforce during the so-called “recovery” than the recession that preceded it. More people live in poverty and are on welfare and food stamps. Obama has broken the engine of economic growth, and Americans are, year by year, becoming poorer and less able to build wealth. Are these the results of successful economic policy?
    Our freedoms have also been compromised, and our Constitution ignored. Obama has sought the power to indefinitely
