Barack Hussein Obama — No we can’t

To the editor:

I am writing in response to the May 13, letter to the editor that our president is true to his word. How can you say this and sleep at night? Our president said he was going to cut the deficit in half in his first term. Our deficit has quadrupled. Our president said the second $700 plus billion dollar bailout would keep unemployment under 8 percent. We now have close to 10 percent unemployment and over 20 percent underemployment.

Our president said he was going to give us affordable health care. We now have a mandate to purchase a policy in 2014 or we will be fined yearly. Health insurance cost is going up, not down. Our president said he was going to help people keep their homes. There have been more foreclosures and short sales than ever recorded in our history on his watch. Just look at your house, Mr. Bunch. You have lost about $140 thousand in value since he took office.

Our president said he was going to get us out of Iraq. We are still there and we have also entered Afghanistan and Libya.

Our president said he was going to close Gitmo. It is still open for business and thank God for that or we never would have gotten Bin Laden as this is where we received the intel on him. Obama did not find him, our military did that and it took Obama nine months to act on that information which coincidentally, enough came only after he realized his poll numbers were falling so bad and Donald Trump forced him to show the long form of his “certificate of live birth”. What the heck is that anyway? Still no birth certificate. DMV will not accept a certificate of live birth to renew a drivers license, only a “Birth Certificate” is accepted. I guess it’s a good thing he is a millionaire, he can afford a limo driver to get around, because he won’t be able to renew his driver’s license with this form he showed Americans.

This president pulled a huge PR stunt and you have fallen for it. This killing does not remove the threat of Al-Quaida, now they want to kill Obama! Bin Laden’s death is not lowering the cost of gas or food. It is not making your home more valuable. It is not creating jobs, it will not keep us safer.

Our president is printing money daily. Marketwatch has told this administration that in 2016, China will be the world power, not the U.S. China owns us. Our president has removed the U.S.’s credit rating from “stable”, which we had for 70 years, to “negative” with a warning from S&P that our triple A score will be reduced as well if we do not get serious about reducing our debt.

Our president is crushing the private sector like bugs. He wants you to depend on the government for all you need. Our president is anti-business and pro-socialism. Our president is destroying the U.S.A. as we watch.

Our president said he was going to help teachers with his third bailout of 70 plus billion. Our teachers are losing their jobs and education is being cut all over the place.

Twenty-two states are trying to get out of Obamacare and debt because he has spent us into a hole so deep that the future has little to no hope for many, many people.

If killing Bin Laden is worth all of this, then hey, give me four more years! I like going broke and starving. I guess you better go learn Chinese so you can communicate in 2016. Wake up mister! This is not what America is supposed to be. There is no more opportunity available.

Our president said he was going to give us “Hope” and “Change”. I see the change, but here is no hope. You were had. We are living on the credit card and it is maxed out with no way to pay. How does anyone spend so much money and have no plan as to how we are going to pay it back? How does this happen? It is completely irresponsible behavior. Counting on the top 2 percent of wealthy Americans is not a plan to pay it back. It won’t even put a dent in the numbers. The interest alone on all the money Barack has spent is $1.6 trillion a year. His plan is to cut $4 trillion in 10 years. In 10 years, if we are still the U.S., that will be the yearly interest amount. His plan is nuts! He should be impeached for destroying the U.S. economy.

Obama killed Osama, 10 Somali Pirates, 3 Khadafy Grandkids, 2 Osama wives and the U.S. economy. And for that he received the Nobel Peace Prize. What a deal! So glad I did not vote for this crazy person and that I have a chance to fire him in 2012.

God help us and God please bless the U.S.A.
