One of the first acts on the Obama agenda for America was to embark on a world-wide “apology tour.” In his mind, he blames most of the world’s problems on American colonialism. As a nation we have helped, with our money and with the blood of our soldiers, just about every nation in the world, but Obama dismissed that as interference. At that time it became clear to world leaders, particularly our enemies, that Obama would be a weak leader, and was the first glimpse at his anti-American sentiments.

He’s come a long way in nearly four years, from his flowery speeches about uniting Americans and social justice. What we see now in the real Obama-the arrogant, obstinate, left-wing ideologue who in spite of an abysmal four years, has learned nothing from his mistakes. He surrounds himself with like-minded hard core lefties, “yes men” (and women), who like liberal lemmings, want to march hand-in-hand with Obama off the proverbial cliff. And they want to take the rest of us with them.

So what has this unqualified fake president left to us in nearly four years? An administration of scandal after scandal, unbelievable wasteful spending of our money, abuse of Presidential powers, the dismantling of the document that has sustained us for 200 years, the Constitution, wars on the middle class (Obamacare,) on religious rights, on small business and individual rights. He has thumbed his nose at our citizens on the southern border states, caring only about the votes it may get him. He has gutted our military, spent billions on pie-in-the-sky alternative energy resources, while failing to develop our own. He dismissed any public input because he believes he is the infallible one.

How did this junior Senator and community organizer make his way into the Oval Office? Those of us who followed his career, who knew about his background, knew that he would be bad news for America from the start, and this has proven out in spades. But I am not sure if people knew to what extent this guy would go to “transform America” into some kind of European-style socialist fantasy land.

To say that the election this fall is a crucial one is an understatement. Will Americans do the right thing, the only thing possible for our survival as a democracy, and send this fraudulent President back to Chicago, before we lose it all?

As Edward Klein writes, “Will Americans finally come to recognize the dark side of Barack Obama in the Presidential election of 2012?” For the sake of all of us, and for future generations, I hope so.
