Listen I know you hate him but come on. He hasn't been in office for even two years, none of his policies have really taken effect yet he is one of the top 5 worst??? But yet your fellow Republican, W ain't on there? Obama might not be the answer but even Superman would have a hard time getting us out the mess from the last 8 years.

First, I am not a Republican. I am a conservative/libertarian who, because the Democrat Party has been taken over by George Soros and his fellow socialists, usually votes for Republican candidates. If you spent more time reading my posts, then you would know that I have been critical of many of Bush's policies. I was not a big fan of GHW Bush either.

The unemployment rate in this country is pushing an official rate of 10 percent, which translates to real unemployment closer to 18 percent. One would expect fixing the economy would be our president's top priority. Do you believe that it has been his top priority. Employment in the public sector has risen under Obama as he rewards his union buddies with high paying federal jobs. Meanwhile, the employment rate has continued to decline in the private sector.

So what has been Obama's priorities? Nationalizing our health care system, including the upcoming hiring of more than 16,000 new IRS agents to force all Americans to buy insurance whether they want to or not - has been his top priority.

What's the next big thing for Obama, Pelosi, and Reid? Probably resurrecting the amnesty for illegal aliens bill. Democrats (with a few Republican idiots like Lindsey Graham) are pushing hard for cap and trade (i.e., "cap and tax") legislation, which will be yet another job killing law. Obama has already dispatched the EPA to regulate CO2 and impede coal mining operations despite Climategate and a whole series of other scandals involving the politicization of science and outright fraud by climate researchers around the world.

The changes that Obama has made and those that are near the top of his priority list are, to quote VP Joe Biden, "A big #%$@ing deal." If Obama had put this country on the path toward socialized medicine on his first day in office, the damage would have been just as great as if he had done so as his last official act as president at the end of a second term.

Teaming a socialist president with a Congress run by socialists and other left wing Democrats means that Obama can do more damage quicker than any president in my lifetime. His foreign policy blunders have alienated longtime allies while losing the respect of our enemies.

Obama knows that after November, his ability to damage our economy will be greatly reduced, which makes him even more dangerous. Time on the job means nothing when one's goal is to trash American traditions and values and tighter the federal government's control over our lives.

As for not including Bush in my Worst 5 list, please feel free to include him in your own list. If you think Obama is doing a bang up job, then you might want to stick him in your Top 10 list in another thread, but that will really kill your credibility here. :biggrin:
