Four Reasons Why Barack Obama Will Be the Worst Ex-president Ever

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The expectation of an outgoing President is that he (or she) will quietly maintain a low profile and not interfere with his successors agenda. Some left wing critics have already been critical of President-elect Trump with reminders that we only have “one president at a time.” Their insinuation is that Trump is overstepping boundaries by involving himself in debates while Obama is still in office. Their “one president at a time” concern is going to evaporate on January 20th though because they won’t want to be critical of Barack Obama who won’t follow tradition and will probably be the worst former President ever…at least in recent memory.

Reason 1: He’s Barack Obama.

Since Donald Trump began dominating the headlines with his bombast, it has been easier for Obama to pretend like he is the adult in the room but make no mistake, Obama is every bit as thin-skinned and narcissistic as Trump. He is just less prone to vent his spleen in public. Trump’s narcissism manifests itself like a spoiled and cranky toddler while Obama’s takes the form of a sullen teenager who thinks all adults are stupid. Both are equally self absorbed though.His failures are the fault of Fox News and people not smart enough to understand the brilliance of his ideas. Obama will not allow Trump, a Republican Congress, and right leaning media to define his legacy without a fight.

Reason 2: Obamacare.

The legislation was given his name as a pejorative but he took ownership of it. Now that Republicans are actually in a position to get rid of Obamacare, there is no way Obama will be able to remain silent. The erroneously named “Affordable Care Act” is routinely identified as his signature accomplishment. The Democrats dishonestly sold it, passed it in an underhanded, hyper-partisan rush, and implemented it in a colossal cluster-foxtrot, but it is Obama’s legacy and he intends to defend it. The President who answered Republican concerns with “The election is over,” will not be able to accept his own advice.

Barack Obama won’t worry himself over policy changes regarding transgender bathrooms, illegal immigration, national security, or even environmental protection, but there is no way he will quietly stand by and watch Republicans tear down Obamacare.

Reason 3: He’s not leaving town.

After he leaves office, Obama isn’t leaving Washington, DC. The Obama’s have rented a mansion from former Clinton administration spokesman Joe Lockhart The stated reason is to allow daughter Sasha to graduate high school before moving. That may be a benefit to his decision to stay in DC but that is not the real reason. The real reason is that he’s not leaving the battlefield. He will be a constant presence on Sunday talk shows and will be a key figure in coordinating Democrat and media efforts to thwart the Republican majority’s agenda.

Reason 4: Tradition doesn’t matter anymore (at least not for the immediate future).

There will be no media narrative about how unseemly it is for a ex-president to engage in public debate with a sitting one. That sort of thing happens when former Vice President Dick Cheney points out Obama’s national security mistakes. Remaining quiet during Barack Obama’s presidency was probably one of the most difficult things George W. Bush ever had to do, but he has some class and he values tradition. In the fallout of 2016 though, tradition isn’t going to be a strong enough incentive for Obama to hold his tongue. The entire 2016 election cycle was an unpredictable break from tradition. Donald Trump’s transition has been largely untraditional and his presidency will likely be equally unique. Any attempt to cite tradition to rebuke Obama will be easily parried in the coming chaos.

Obama’s presence in DC will likely resemble a government in exile at times. Watch for reporters to seek his opinion on virtually every move President Trump or the Republican Congress makes. He may defer to answer at times to maintain appearances but when it comes to his healthcare monstrosity, he won’t hold back. Many conservatives are talking about how wonderful it will finally be to be rid of Obama after January 20th. I think they are going to have to wait a while longer before he actually goes away.

      Trump has Obama’s original and stolen SSN, it’s widely known in DC. That and the treasure trove of NSA captured documents and calls should be enough to shut him up.

      Plenty of reasons for Obama to be leg irons sitting in Ft Leavenworth for the rest of his hideous life:

      Well first, Obama had buried the USA in unpayable debt. This can now be used to collapse the dollar at any time of the cabal’s choosing. The potential is to reduce the US to a third world status in the process.

      He has set up thousands of Moslem Jihadists within the US. The Islamic world has a word for invasion by stealth – Hijrah. That is what is happening – the US is subject to massive, long planned Hijrah. The controllers of this can activate it at any time, and we can imagine that a co-ordinated uprising of thousands of militarily trained young radicals who are focused on killing Americans will be devastating. In Europe it is reported that the young jihadist men in Germany have all been issued with cellphones and unlimited credit, claimed to be courtesy of George Soros through one of his many NGO’s. No doubt the same technique – a method put in place to co-ordinate an eventual uprising – is being used in the US. Although there are many peaceful Moslems – mostly families – who arrived because they were, indeed, in dire circumstances (because of Cabal sponsored and organised destruction of their home nation), many single young men of military age have been hidden within the hordes of refugees. They are soldiers, intent on revenge. A little of this has already shown up – but it is the tip of a hugely dangerous iceberg, yet to be activated.

      Obama has reportedly been flying thousands of ‘refugees’ into the heartland of the US and landing them at obscure airports in several states. State authorities have no idea who or where they are.

      There appear to be efforts by the Obama administration to destroy all meaningful records of arriving Jihadists, so that they cannot be traced.

      The open borders policy has contributed more Jihadists as well as criminals from Mexico and elsewhere and many illegal economic migrants. All these mostly non-productive people also drain the resources of the various social services, becoming an ever bigger national burden.

      Obama has worked hard to destroy the reputation of the US overseas, with great success.

      He has radicalised the nation, so that the basis for civil war is now well established, and can be easily triggered.

      He has alienated key international allies.

      He has perverted and politicised many US institutions to his cause.

      He has appointed political hacks to a number of high offices.

      He has overseen an escalation of the exporting of jobs and entire industries, hugely damaging the US manufacturing base, once a major strength of the nation. It was also the main element that kept the US solvent and out of debt.

      He has allowed the banksters to steal from the American public on a massive scale, through various flavours of bail-out and other heavily spun scams. Money has been syphoned out of every source available including pension funds. Now where did all that money go?

      The Clinton Foundation is part of the same Nazi continuum. Although Bill and Hill are the front – and undoubtedly have benefited greatly – it is there to fund far the greater ambitions, and other power players are involved. A recent book and other publications by Charles Ortel, a respected forensic accountant, sets out the case that the foundation has been the recipient of in excess of 100 billion dollars of stolen money. This includes most of the money raised publicly for several major disasters, Haiti being the best known.

      The death of ambassador Christopher Stevens (in Benghazi) was because he knew too much about the government-protected gun-running, part of the Syrian displacement policy that enables the Nazi continuum to use Jihad as a powerful tool for their Hijrah purposes. Vast profits will have flowed from this activity – now, can we guess what organisation would have been the recipient?

      Multiple billions of dollars also disappeared from the State department (while Hilary was there), and from the Pentagon / military budget, the latter (which is a truly huge amount) both before and during Obama’s tenure. It would seem that little vigour has been shown in seeking to find it.

      Under Obama, business has been over-run with new regulations and red tape: and the gross costs of Obamacare. This has several negative effects on the economy. First of all, generating new small businesses is the renewal process of any economy. Obama’s environment kills off many small businesses, makes start-ups very difficult, and turns many full time jobs into part time as employers seek to mitigate the financial penalty of Obamacare. It is crippling many families and businesses. This appears to be an intentional component of the undermining of the US economy

      In his last month in office, Obama is rushing through all sorts of new rules and regulations – each at high cost to US tax payers, and carrying a large administrative burden

      And there is much more, I suspect.

      The principle point is that each of these should not be seen as separate, unrelated actions, but as part of the co-ordinated, powerful and dangerous action plan to take down the USA.

      Of course, Obama is not the principal here – he is (has been) the fifth column front man. And against his real fifth column brief, he has done well! Understanding his actions is all a matter of context – and his handlers should be pleased… Now the key question is what other unpleasantnesses will he unleash in his remaining few days? It appears to be ‘no holds barred’ from now on.

      It looks as if the seventy year old Nazi pledge to destroy the USA, with all the fifth column action designed to underpin the project, is about ready to be delivered. My best guess at the final move? Dump the dollar as brutally as possible, and in the midst of the ensuing chaos, activate the Jihad on a national scale.

      I think Donald Trump is well aware of all the above – which is why he had appointed a powerful, action-oriented team with strong military overtones. It may be the very last line of defence against Hijrah, and all that comes with it.
