Obama: President failed all his objectives

Sadly, we are now seven years into the Obama administration. Those who were fooled into voting for him voted for a better economy, better health care, better race relations and an end to the war on terror.

The president has failed at every one of these objectives.

I can only hope that our friends on the left have learned something from their mistake.

When a candidate tells us that we are going to get free things, and the upper 1 percent is going to pay for it, he is wrong. The upper 1 percent is already paying more than 50 percent of their income in taxes. They will simply work less before they pay more.

When a candidate has so much confidence in his leadership that he thinks that he can change global weather patterns, turn away. That is God’s job.

Finally, if a candidate is eager to disparage Christianity, capitalism and Western civilization but not socialism, communism and Islam, don’t vote for him or her. That person has no grasp of history and logic.

In the past, I had hoped for an apology from the Obama voters. However, now, I just hope that they don’t put our nation in this situation again.
