After nearly eight years under President Barack Obama, there is one fact that is undeniable — his presidency has been bad for the U.S. economy.
Now that his second term is nearing the end, however, it is becoming clear to economists just how bad Obama has been.
Historically bad.
In terms of GDP growth, Obama is officially projected to be the fourth-worst president in U.S. history — the worst since the Great Depression under President Herbert Hoover.
And Obama will be the only U.S. president that has failed to deliver even a single year of 3%+ GDP growth.
During his presidency, liberals and Democrats pulled out statistic after statistic in a desperate attempt to deflect blame, or hide the facts. But there’s no more denying the numbers.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, expanded at a paltry annual rate of 0.5 percent in the January-March quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. That is slower than the fourth quarter’s 1.4 percent growth rate, marks the weakest performance in two years, and officially cements Obama’s shameful economic legacy.
The poor start to the year did not escape notice among critics of Obama.
“Today’s report showing the weakest period of economic growth in two years is the latest sign the Obama economy isn’t working,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. “Despite all of the evidence Obama’s liberal policies are leaving middle-class families behind and holding back growth, Hillary Clinton thinks this president doesn’t get enough credit and wants to double down on his failed agenda.”
The 0.5 percent GDP advance in the first quarter was the weakest showing since GDP contracted by 0.9 percent in the first three months of 2014.
“Assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth. This would place his presidency fourth from the bottom of the list of [presidencies], above only those of Herbert Hoover (-5.65%), Andrew Johnson (-0.70%) and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41%),” reports Real Clear Markets.
Part of the first-quarter weakness stems from the turbulence in the stock market at the beginning of the year, which was triggered by worries that China was slowing more than expected.
The market has since recovered all of its early-year losses, China’s slowdown now seems less worrisome and oil prices have stabilized and started to rebound. In addition, the U.S. dollar, whose strength had hurt American exporters, has stopped rising and retreated a bit.
Those developments and continued job growth will help bolster the economy in the current quarter and beyond, Behravesh and other analysts said.
But Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Tufts University in Boston, said the rebound could still be derailed if there are not “more positive growth trends overseas.”
Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, grew at a 1.9 percent rate in the first quarter. That’s down from 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter and is the weakest showing in a year.
Business investment dropped at a 5.9 percent rate, the biggest quarterly plunge since the depths of the recession in 2009. The decline was led by a record 86 percent plunge in the category that covers oil and gas exploration. U.S. energy companies have cut back sharply in response to falling global oil prices.
The higher deficit subtracted 0.3 percentage point from growth in the first quarter. A further slowdown in business spending to restock their store shelves also hurt growth.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday took note of economic weak spots and decided for the third straight meeting to keep its key policy rate unchanged in a range of 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent. Many analysts don’t believe there will be a second rate hike until there are more signs of growth.
“The rate of real economic growth is the single greatest determinate of both America’s strength as a nation and the well being of the American people. And, Obama’s record in this area has been truly dismal,” says Real Clear Markets.

2017, in comes TRUMP to destroy them all!

Yes, then we can have the, ” Real Hope & Change” !
rodney says
the hope and change we should have had in the first place. But thanks to the GOP, we have 8 years of unmitigated disaster! We the people may e FORCED to elect a president DESPITE the GOP. If we have to the GOP sealed it’s fate and I will be glad.
ILLINOIS BOB says
Replace them all…. Even Jimmy Carter performed better as POTUS than Obama….and that’s saying a lot …. all bottom feeders.
Brads says
For all you Trump supporters…If Trump get elected will he still fund the Democratic Party like he has done the last 40 years? And one thing I guarantee when he says make America great again he really meant make Trump Empire great again. He will need a lot of extra cash to give back those students he scammed at Trump University. Since he has a history of fornicating he will pick up where slick Willy left off.
Lee Fisher says
Great comment! I had not really thought about Trump as a President. (hard to imagine) You might be right on about the Bill Clinton remark. LOL
Tom says
U have no Idea what your talking about.
George says
A student that goes to a real estate school in the worst mortgage failure thinking he is going to strike it rich, doesn’t understand anything about real estate, and that it will take him many years to get his money back. only those people that had money got rich
ILLINOIS BOB says
I don’t care if Trump grows his empire as long as Americans do better at same time… Something the Clinton era and Obama era never enabled. To some degree “W” era as well.
Rick Worthington says
Brads, your comments are way off! Not only in bad taste, but are extremely libelous with your disgusting remarks about “taking up where Slick Willy left off.” This just goes to show how little you know about Donald Trump…you only go by the lies and misinformation spread by those who are against the man. Incidentally, Donald Trump isn’t “financing” the Democrats – although he has given them a donation or two – just the same as any other party/organization in an even-handed manner. But the fact that he has given donations to anyone, doesn’t mean he was “financing” them. It sounds by your ill-conceived comments that it is ‘sour-grapes’ about a very successful businessman…who not only is financing his own campaign – thereby not being beholden to Big Pharma nor other large establishments who would want to finance him, but he also has claimed that he does not want to take taxpayers’ money in payment, should he win the Presidency. Let’s face it, either he is as good as his word and make America Great Again – or he fails. If the first, he’ll be voted in again at the next election, or, if the second, he’ll be voted out. Right now, he’s a threat to the “Establishment” with all it’s lies and corruption, and which It is in fear of being denounced and replaced! As an investigative journalist who has traveled thoughout many countries, I know that corrupt governments will do just about anything to remain in power and also try and prevent their misdeeds from being found out. They want to “milk the cow” and “feather their own nests” for as long as possible, and any perceived threat to their status quo is met with every dirty trick in the book that they can muster. This has happened not only in Europe, with communist leaders, and in Africa with despotic presidents, but also in Australia as well, when a non-politician, an ordinary woman, some years ago, with no political experience, garnered over a million votes with her “non-establishment” plans – (like Trump) but was quickly turned on by corrupt politicians with lies, misquotes and then actually imprisoned before she managed to get released! The lady
has now returned to politics…it remains to be seen what will happen at the next and forthcoming election in July.
In conclusion, Brads, you are entitled to your opinion, buddy, but stick to the facts and don’t be so libelous…as for his “Empire”…if it gets bigger, good for him. Nothing like success to build success!
Gary Smith says
True
Arlene says
And our present president hasn’t especially in Palm Desert, CA with his same sex on Valentine’s day.
UltimateDuke says
Brads, why don’t you address the point of the article about Obama being the worst president since Hoover? Since you obviously cannot or will not, you lamely attempt the liberal arguing tactic of shunting attention from the ACTUAL point of the discussion to some OTHER point that you might have a better time making. This article has NOTHING to do with Trump’s presidential performance and EVERYTHING to do with Obama’s performance (or lack thereof).
Stay on point if you dare…but you should be VERY careful of making comments about scamming people after Obama’s 2 terms of doing exactly that (i.e., Obamacare, Iran’s nuclear treaty, immigration policy, and countless others). Perhaps you should just remain silent to avoid drawing attention to the REAL scams against the American people.
bennie says
Amen to that too.
doc1933 says
So the president that got us into a war by lying 10% unemployment and gas 5oo dollars gets a pass. WHY?
andy says
Exactly,bring Trumpster in to clean house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Masanja says
What did the article say -Obama “worst president since Hoover? I think the article is written by a TPs or Repubs now crying why Trump will lose over Hillary. Obama has proved what he promised me and the rest of Americans. TPs and Repubs cannot see that Obama brought back hope in this Country after the melt-down of 2008. I know as a Repubs or TPs you do not know private sector employers added 300,000 new jobs in December, 200, 000 in January, 300,000 in February. Repubs and TPs are now quiet and ashamed being anti-progress. John Boehner quit because of that. Obama added 13,000,000 new jobs in his first 7 years- beating both Reagan and Bush during their 8 years as presidents. Bill O’rielly and his right wing media always talked down about President Obama’s accomplishments. In 2008 Bill O whined why his insurance premium jumped by 25%. The following two years with Obamacare his insurance premium increased by mealy 6%. Still Bill O’rielly had guts to talk down about Obamacare. That is dumb. Bill O has been whining that the economy is bad. But as pointed above government records show Obama created more private sector jobs in his 7th years than Reagan or Bush II created in their 8 years. Look around-you will see people driving new American brands- good looking cars and SUVs. I am planning to dump my Toyota for an 8 cylinder Lincoln Navigator. Reason-gas price now is $1.50 a gal. People are eating in restaurants again and giving big tips to workers there. Obama even decommissioned Bin Laden, Yemen and Libya guys. I know we still have local jihads; but FBI and CIA are on top of them. In 2008 the deficit was increasing by 10% and the country was bankrupt. Now there is deficit reduction by 15%. Last year President Obama was voted as most admired and loved person in USA and world. Hillary was voted as most admired and loved woman in USA and the world. For this reason, Hillary is the best to take over when Obama leaves. Please join me to vote for Hillary in November. Forget about these GOP morons. Thank God they are fighting one another. One of them –Ted Cruz is not even eligible for the WH job. Cruz has nominated Carly as VP. What joke. Both are ugly anyway. In fact, I have no idea why you and other Repubs cannot tell him to pack-up for Canada or Cuba. Got it now? Please sue Ted Cruz.
WALLACE says
SWIM BACK OVER……………………………………………….
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Bruce says
Who is saying that Obama and Hillary are the most loved people in the US & the world besides you? Not even the liberal media is saying THAT. You also talk about all these jobs being created. Most, if not all, are low- wage temp jobs with no benefits. But, it is Bush’s fault even after 8 years. ANYbody but Hillary.
Jarhead says
You must be on Acid! Obingo is the worst President ever in our History, even if he was proven eligible. No way the son of a non citizen African British subject can be anyway. as for Cruz, at least he was born closer to home than than the gay one.
Richard Palais says
YOU ARE INSANE! OBUMMER HAS BEEN THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER, EVER HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY! He has destroyed everything here from our Healthcare to our Economy, and much more! He has divided the people of America, and he has been insulting to everyone especially our foreign friends! My only prayer is for obummer to experience a slow, painful death and soon! However it happens, I only hope obummer suffers like all of us have suffered since the very day obummer was fraudulently been placed in the Whitehouse, both in 2008, and again, in 2012! Ugh! He has been the worst news that has ever taken place! I for one, do hate his guts! Ugh!
Brads says
If there ugly have you seen your self in the mirror lately? It spells pathetic vile Equivocator. Look the word up if you can spell it.
Howard Agster says
You’re in dreamland. Put down he coolaid and do a little more research. First of all, Obama cannot create jobs. The government’s job is to facilitate the free market and free the business of regulation to spur economic growth. Everything he has done has caused more businesses to close than in any time in history. Even with QE (quantitative easing for you labs outh there), the GDP has grown at a paultry .5% average since he has taken office. I won’t even go into all of O’s scandals. Unreal how blind some people are. I could wright a book on what a disaster this joke has been as a president.
Frankie says
Flawed logic and eyes. ?
Dawg# says
Masanja:
You are right about Obama bringing a lot of hope and change. In fact, the only thing Americans have now is the little change they can pick up on the part time jobs they hope for. The darn melt down didn’t start until after the election and the economy has digressed ever since. In reference to the jobs Obumer has created, 47% of the work force is NOT working in America, and those so called jobs you refer to are either part time jobs or of a lesser degree that won’t substitute for the real CAREERS that these folks had before. Idiots like you say that obamacare is such a good thing, well that’s probably because the rest of the Country has to support another family of indolent parasites on the ass of humanity plus make provision for their own. I could go further on the BS you just posted, but that would be futal. To add insult to injury, you people say that Obumer has kept America out of war and stopped the Ebola virus.. Lolololololol. The war is not over just because some sorry lowlife goes around the world kissing the enemy and bowing in his presents and telling them how horrible America is. Furthermore, it is not the military’s job to fight a darn virus, the military’s job is to fight other people!…… Foreign and domestic.
Ronald says
Ron you don’t even have a clue first what has looks got to do with electing the best possible candidate that is good for America, second your a trader for buying a Toyoda vote very careful and look at their record and what each voted for please don’t vote not knowing their true agenda it may be your children’s, children WHO will suffer from the choice you make now wakeup people help make America be blessed and a blessing in this world
Alan Humphries says
Go smoke more bong dipshit!
Alba Culver says
Obama is a MUSLIM!!!!!!!!!!! he doesn’t care about America. Can’t wait till he is out of office,
and take KILLARY with him she is bad for America.
GO TRUMP , TRUMP THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!
kris littlefield says
Where in the hell did you get this information, the Sunday funnies? How can you be so gullible? How can you defend a President that hates you and hates this country? How can you defend a President that lies and pays millions to hide his past? Do you hate America so much that you’re blind to the truth? You sound like a budding socialist. You’d better wake up.

You are in total denial, what a jumbled bunch of _rap for statistics. He is and has been the worst President Ever.

Oh, I don’t know. They voted for Reagan after he failed to property defend the Barracks in Lebanon when one or two terrorists killed 300 U.S. Marines with a Truck Bomb.

STRIPPPPP HIM OF ALL THIS GOOOODIES.
rodney says
love that idea!
Rooster says
Let not forget that both the congress and the senate had their so far up his ass it look like he had two wieners. They set around and let him break every constitutional amendment he want or law for that matter. The congresspersons and senator who are failing to uphold the Constitution should be tried for treason, the one trying to abolish the second amendment and the other that the patriot act has canceled out and failure to enforce our immigration laws should be in jail but the American people keep putting up with being enslaved by their elected officials. It we are not careful and don’t start paying attention to the fact that the elected officials are make laws against the American people to eventually do away with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and become of dictator like oba-mao has tried to do. Wake up America let’s make them work for like it was intended, stop them for voting themselves raises, make them live under same laws that they make for us, pay into SSI, limit themselves to two terms, hell after the first most are puppet of corporate America, we don’t need professional politicians, it’s just a form of welfare, bring back the draft so everybody protects our country that way they will appreciated the country more, make them produce job instead of letting them go overseas putting everybody here on welfare, no wonder American is broke the politician send everyone in the world our tax dollars and the ones in America who don’t want to work get a check. Remember the American people are the masters not the politicians so wake up and vote.
Duane Petersen says
I hate to say this but according to immigration law as long as one parent is an American citizen the child is a natural born citizen. It make me sick to say Obamaass is a NBA as if he weren’t none of the laws or anything else he passed would not be legal. DARN.
James Carter says
Immigration law doesn’t dictate the definition of natural born citizen. It’s in the constitution and and the 14th amendment. . http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-01-27/ted-cruz-is-not-a-natural-born-citizen-according-to-the-constitution
EMILIANO says
HE IS ALSO NO CUBAN AND NO CANADIAN.WHERE DOES HE BELONG.
Constitutionalist says
James-
Despite the fact that the 14th was never lawfully ratified by 3/4’s of the States, there’s zero language in the 14th which refers to “natural born” at all; the 14th creates a new class of citizen, the federal citizen, and converts Natural, God-given Rights into “privileges and immunities.” (the latter is entirely off-point, but so is the 14th in re: to any discussion of “natural born” status.)
EMILIANO says
AMERICAN CITIZEN OK,BUT NOT BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL IS A DIFFERENT STORY TO BE PRESIDENT.HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ENTERED THE W.H.AND WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER AMERICA.
Constitutionalist says
Duane-
When McCain ran for president, the 110th Congress issued S511, which referred back to the First Congress, Second Session’s decision in RE: “natural born” status. They defined the word at that time as requiring 2 Citizen-parents to convey that status, with exceptions made for those born prior to the Revolution – and in addition, they made law(that’s what Congress DOES, you know) which stated that it didn’t matter where the child was born, either, as long as it had TWO(count ’em, 2) citizen parents.
McCain was born in Panama, but to TWO(yes, 2) US Citizens, which DID make him eligible.
I very much encourage you to google “110 Congress, S511,” read it, then google “natural born first congress second session” and read that, too.
Even the PHRASE ‘natural born’ comes from Emmerich de Vattel’s ponderous multi-volume series entitled “The Law of Nations;” the first SCOTUS Chief judge, John Jay, was considered the American expert in it, and his opinion in re:TWO citizens being necessary to convey ‘natural born’ status was confirmed in one of the first SCOTUS decisions involving a natural born case, known now to history as The Venus. You can google that, too, if you like.
Some say that the words “natural born” were redefined in some 1950’s act, but if so, then the Senate was in error when it declared that McCain was eligible, didn’t they?
The internet can certainly be a marvelous thing, especially in that it allows one to research quite swiftly virtually any legal point.

Gene:
Funny thing about the Bushes, Cheneys, and Trumps; I don’t particularly like any of them, but these men love America and because of that, they will all have my vote every time no matter what office they are running for. IMHO, None of them can do any wrong. The Bushes have made many errors, but every mistake was made with the best of intentions for the American people. I don’t mean to get mushy but, I love people who love our Flag. Our Nation has been placed in the commode of the abyss by Obumer and if Killary is elected, she will flush it. In fact, the only thing the Demrats have running is a murdering, conniving, lying, bitch and a Socialistic Communist. No liberal gives two hoots in Hades about you or America……… TRUMP FOR AMERICA! I don’t like him either, but he is a God sent for our Nation, because he loves America.
UltimateDuke says
If you blame all the major problems in America on Bush, then what does that say about how pathetically inept, counterproductive, pointless and useless Obama and EVERYTHING he’s done are? He’s had almost 8 years and been completely unable to do anything to change any of those problems? You just paid Bush a HUGE compliment that he was able to do things that have been able to withstand all of Obama’s concerted efforts for nearly a decade! That really makes Obama look even worse than ever! (This accepts YOUR premise that Bush is responsible for all the major problems in America, which not even liberal Denocrats are willing to claim. — You are truly stupider than your claims.)
EMILIANO says
MAKE THAT 3 TIMES
EMILIANO says
BUT THIS PROVES HOW EASY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN BE FOOLED.I DON’T MEAN ALL.ONLY THE DUMMIES WHO VOTED FOR HIM AND NOW THEY LINED UP AGAIN TO PUT ANOTHER OBAMA TRAINEE BACK IN THE W.H.SAME SHOW,SAME PROMISES,SAME LIES. ONLY IN ANOTHER PACKAGE.
Dawg# says
The only ones who voted for Oduma were zombies and other dead people. Sure says a lot about our Country and what we the people have done to it, huh? Have you noticed that a majority of people were really coming down on Bush for having a two or three trillion dollar debt, when he was fighting two wars, supporting NASA, and many other projects that were dispersed when Obama took office. And now we have no NASA, not fighting a war (except to waste a bunch of drone missiles at the tune of $1,000,000 each), but yet the National debt has went up exponentially. WHERE DID THE MONEY GO? Probably to Obamas friends who want to kill us, or to his retirement fund.

Matshal law??
greg geitner says
im not sure that this is the most corrupted government. however the red flag [among myriad others] here is that the so called government is not bothering to conceal any of this. implying of course that theres not a damn thing we can do. this imbroglio is way past being fixed. time to lay a new foundation and putting up a whole, healthy structure.
kris littlefield says
I wouldn’t say there is no way Obama can stop the 2017 election. When Justice Scalia was interviewed ,not long before his death, he was asked if he wasn’t worried about going against the current administration and he said “what can they do too me”? As a Supreme Court Justice he has a job for life. Well guess what? He’s dead, so don’t say Obama can’t do anything to stop the election. Scalia was probably the most important man in this country because of his protecting our Constitution. I ask myself everyday why all the probes into Princes’ death, the autopsy, the toxicology tests and nothing, I repeat, nothing was done regarding Scalia. It makes me furious.
bennie says
Amen to that.
rodney says
amen to that squared!
Donald L Girton says
It’s fair to say worst congress until you realize that our community organizer never tried working with congress. He could have called members of congress into a room and said we are BOTH going to compromise and come out of this room with an agreement. That is what good leaders do. But he decided to denigrate those who disagree and avoid even trying to soften his stance on any number of topics. He decided to do nothing but executive orders pushing this practice to perhaps unconstitutional limits still to be determined by the Supreme Court. He has embarrassed us worldwide…..he has weakened us worldwide…..he has shamed our allies and signed terrible agreements with our enemies. He is without a doubt the worst president in my lifetime. I go back to Eisenhower in the mid fifties. He needs to go as quickly as possible. And we need to pray that our next president can somehow get this country back on track.
Bruce says
Who is saying that Obama and Hillary are the most loved people in the US & the world besides you? Not even the liberal media is saying THAT. You also talk about all these jobs being created. Most, if not all, are low- wage temp jobs with no benefits. But, it is Bush’s fault even after 8 years. ANYbody but Hillary.
ellen mary schantz says
Read something about Hoover before you judge him. He is the only president who was recalled by Roosevelt to help in his administration, and Hoover worked without pay. He was one of the few honest presidents we have ever had. Don’t insult him with a comparison to Hoover. Obama is another politician who has become rich while in office. He has never offered his services gratis like Hoover. Neither have the Clintons.
Ken Johnson says
Interesting to note–on a note that goes against the grain of most, including many “conservative” people–that Teddy Roosevelt was the first progressive (although progressive-lite by today’s standards) to be in power at the national level.
Woodrow Wilson, who followed him later, was the first racist progressive in a long line of racist progressives.
Wendy says
Congress has been trying, but Obama just keeps vetoing when they do something he doesn’t want, and signing executive orders when they don’t do what he does want.
Bruce says
I agree totally

But “O” is happy, he hasn’t failed at all! He’s a muslim out to destroy the USA, create chaos to invoke martial law and become dictator after cancelling the election and dismissing congress & the CONSTITUTION. Most of Congress is too stupid to oppose “O” or see they are complicit as traitors.

You are correct. Whatever Hoover did that was not of the best for America he did not do with the INTENT to destroy America which is what has been traitor Obama’s goal from the beginning. Obama compared to Benedict Arnold would find Arnold to be a patriotic saint.
Peter Joffe says
Obama is the best US President that Islam has ever had. The spread of Islam under the watch of Obama has world altering probabilities. How to fix this mess and dive to barbarism will be very long and bloody. Obama’s legacy will be greater than Mohammad’s.

YES…Time to FLUSH all Professional Politicians from the DC CESSPOOL ……and BHOZO is the WORST IN HISTORY!

It’s Bush’s fault!

You’re kidding right. The real joke is how this clown keeps telling everybody that will listen “everything’s great” what a F’ing joke.

Wayne…..BULLS EYE!!!
Roy Fredrichsen says
Bush and company DID NOT elect O’Bama to be President. The ignorant voters and the monied interests got that half-breed put in office. By comparasion, O’Bama makes Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter look good.
jack russell says
Obama is what happens when you hire (in his case – is voted into office) someone with no qualified experience. A community organizer certainly didn’t qualify him. Teaching law class didn’t qualify him. Being a short term senator (both state and federal) didn’t qualify him. Guess what? Then entire country is paying for the voters who elected him. That in itself should be a felony.
rodney says
gimme the cell i’ll GLADLY throw him in and lock the door!
Bruce says
Amen
The Redhawk says
BES INDEED … BARACKY the Delusional is in SUCH DELUSIONAL DENIAL that he’ll even Blame Biden from now on for all of HIS ( baracky’s)SCREW UPS!! May be had he studied some Economics instead of taking or Toking weed, Mexican Mushrooms, and Colombian ‘powders” he might have done at least ONE positive thing….
roger domnie says
right, will you people ever shut up? why not blame washington?
Wendy says
Lots of us have been doing that. But the country just goes on picking its DemoPublicans . . .
Chucky says
You have been blaming Bush for 7 years! Not true but even so, he had 7 years to make it better but only made things 100x worse! Give it up, that ship sailed long ago! He’s a loser and so are you!
aspergus Hermann says
Witch one?Patrick?
Don says
As Obama would chime:’My little girls are much to white~it’s Bushs’ Fault, It’s Bushs’ Fault’~~’My Michelle, she ain’t very tight~It’s Bushs’ Fault, It’s Bushs’ Fault’.
Get a grip on reality, your boy has been president (with a small ‘p’) for over 7 years and has been an absolute dismal failure in ANY and ALL measurable parameters.
When history finally documents, records, and writes the abject failure that his presidency has been, his (as well as Moochele’s) simple response will be “America WAS and IS a RACIST country. I am on par with, or better than, the greatest presidents that this country has ever seen”.
Such are the minds of narcisists.
Steve says
Right. But how about “DEATH to Obamaasshole!”
mwood says
since he is the only illegal president he has to be the worse
Martin says
Legality has nothing to do with it. My illegal gardener could of done a better job. The fact that this idiot has been told, all his life, that he is so special is the real problem. A major ego and a good speaking voice does not add up to an exceptual politician.
HERMAN says
THE PEOPLE WERE SUCKERED INTO VOTING FOR THIS “STENCH ” IN THE WHITE HOUSE ,AND NOW WE CAN ONLY HOPE THEY HAVE LEARNED A GREAT LESSON ,,BUT KNOWING THAT OBAMA HAS JUST ABOUT DESTROYED AMERICA ,THE LIBERAL WILL SHARE THE BLAME FOR AMERICA’S DECLINE ,BECAUSE THE LIBERALS AND THIS STINKING MONKEY NUT ARE TO BLAME AND “WE THE PEOPLE” MUST AND WILL TAKE BACK AMERICA.
Mikeyavelli says
Not only was he America’s first black president, he is America’s first black eye.
rodney says
yep and the world is laughing, they can see. Pravda is having a field day with him.
Steve says
Death to the asshole Obama.
Robert F says
Shit happens when you do not use toilet paper to clean up the mess.
DC says
How about W, our dumbest, trigger-happy president? Doesn’t it count that he deliberately authorized the mass destruction of thousands of Americans & looted the US Treasury for his stupid wars? Incidentally, this is no defense of Obama, whom I consider possibly the SECOND-worst president.
Greg says
Saddam was paying rewards of $25,000 to families of suicide bombers. Liberal’s rules of engagement is the only failure here.
Steve says
“DC”, what does that mean? Dumb Crack? You stupid Obama-lovers are all the same, soo damn dumb you can’t think of anything better than, “It’s Bush’s fault.”
Like Bush gave Iraq nukes and Billions of dollars.
Like Bush destroyed the Health Care system that was the envy of the world.
Like Bush destroyed our relationship with Israel, our only friend in the Middle East.
Like Bush has allowed and welcomed millions of subversive illegals into our overburdened Country.
Like Bush, I certianly do!
Dawg# says
Amen Steve
L.Stacey says
Is he behind Carter? I can’t remember the worst one, but men were really complaining about him, saying the same things about Obama.

Carter, was in-ept,,,,,,,,,,,Obama, is deliberately subversive…………

Bingo.!
Warlock says
None of the previous presidents lowered our southern border. None of the previous presidents forced us to buy healthcare. None of the previous president bowed before royalty. None of the previous presidents signed a bill that became law – where you or I could be declared a terrorist and we could be disappeared at night and thrown in a cell and locked away for life without a judge a lawyer or a trial by jury….
OBAMA DID ALL THESE THINGS
Constitutionalist says
Warlock-
Then there was the shredding of Posse Comitatus, as well, though that could have been under the Shrub’s maladminstration – been awhile, and i tend to forget just what happened when.
Anyhow, the way i understand it, Posse Comitatus forbade the deploying of US military against US civilian targets – but no more! The only thing that would stop the US military from, say, doing house-to-house search-and-seizure of firearms is the honor and integrity of the rank-and-file military man or woman, who knows that their FIRST loyalty is NOT to their Commander-in-Chief, but to the Constitution. High Praise for whomever began the Oathkeepers!
Steve says
And I never wanted to see any prez dead. I do this one. Obama is a treasonous piece of shi… crap and I will dance on his grave. I pray I get to be the one to put him in it.
Bruce says
Definitely. 11% approval rating what does that tell you?
Warlock says
They are all puppets. When are my brothers and sisters going to figure this out? The left, the right, the republican, the democrat is a ridicules illusion.
Wendy says
After 9-11, the country wanted retribution. I don’t think anyone in who could have possibly been in the Oval Office wouldn’t have gone to war. All these people attacking W about what happened after 9-11 are doing it with 20/20 hindsight and a lot of information that wasn’t available when the decisions were made. Personally, living under W wasn’t much different than living under Clinton or HW. Somewhat less than living under Reagan. Life under Obama? CLEARLY MUCH WORSE.
Dawg# says
Even on his worst day, Bush was about 20 trillion times the better man than Obumer. Bush loved America. Obumer HATES America and I for one hate him! He is nothing but a sorry lowlife SOB, who has destroyed my Country.
Oh, about the 20 trillions…… You sorry Liberals gave Bush all kinds of hell for a 8 trillion dollar debt, and this sorry lowlife has more than tripled it with not a word spoken about it…. Funny how that works! Every one of you Liberals are SCUM OF THE EARTH! And every one of you are responsible for destroying this Nation!
Robert Andres says
The really scary part is that Hillary wants to “preserve his legacy.” No doubt that, with her record of failure and corruption, she can do it!
L.Stacey says
Good comment. State of the Union: Failure.
rodney says
DISMAL failure and the dems KNOW it!
Chucky says
Killery will pick up where he left off and continue to destroy our county!
Warlock says
They are on the same team. The conspiracy is true. If we don’t know who the enemy is then we can’t defend against them.
The media, that’s the major news sources including FOX, and the papers are all owned by the same few people. Every single thing you see from one of them is most likely twisted some how to either push you in a direction or confuse you.
They own most of the candidates but not all.
They own both party’s: isn’t that obvious by now? The wars not only continue, they expand, the debt increases, our freedoms diminish and meanwhile the debate over a transgender toilet keeps everyone engaged in stupidity for weeks now.
Please wake up everyone
RJ says
I think you’re wrong. Obama is the worst leader the US has had since KING GEORGE. At least Hoover loved America.
L.Stacey says
They share one trait in common. They both don’t know what to do. Hoover didn’t act during the depression because he didn’t know what to do. It overwhelmed him, so he stood around and rubbed his face. People call his policy liberal. Is that another term for stupid? How about criminal? Who ignores the people and lets in refugees by the thousands who are or could be violent? Who lets out 86,000 criminal illegal immigrants into society without deporting them back to Mexico or keeping them in prison? They committed 231,000 crimes–murder, assault, rape, theft. Is that a liberal—-someone without any standards, loose as a screw?
Daniel Soskin says
YOU ARE CORRECT. OBAMA HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY, AND IS ALMOST AS BAD AS JIMMY CARTER. HOOVER WAS NOT “A WORST PRESIDENT,” JUST AS BUSH JR. WAS NOT. THE ECONOMIES IN BOTH CASES TILTED TO GREAT DEPRESSION AND GREAT RECESSION BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF THEIR PREDECESSORS–COOLIDGE AND CLINTON. HOOVER GAVE IT A SHOT BUT REFUSED TO BAIL OUT THE WORLD AFTER COOLIDGE’S ROARING TWENTIES WITHOUT RULES EXCEPT FOR PROHIBITION. FDR NEVER GOT US OUT OF THE DEPRESSION–WORLD WAR TWO DID. CLINTON’S NO DEFICIT BUDGET FOLLOWED THE END OF THE COLD WAR, THE MASSIVE DRAW DOWN IN OUT MILITARY AND OTHER COLD WAR SPENDING–A SURE WIN WIN FOR A NO-DEFICIT BUDGET. CLINTON IGNORED AL QAEDA, SENDING TWO MISSILES TO AFGHANISTAN AND LIBYA IN HIS LAST YEARS, IGNORING THE RISE OF AL QAEDA, BIN LADEN, AND THE TALIBAN WHICH SET THE FRAMEWORK FOR 9/11. BUSH INHERITED THE MESS, AND DEVELOPED HOMELAND SECURITY AND OTHER MEASURES THAT PUT SAFETY BACK INTO THE NATION, AS JEB BUSH HAS SAID. HE ALSO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR A VERY FAVORABLE MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION PLAN D. HIS ENTRY INTO IRAQ, I AM CONVINCED AS WAS EVERYONE ELSE INCLUDING THE SENATE AND HILLARY, WAS JUSTIFIED AFTER 9/11. IT IS EASY TO LOOK BACK AT HIS IRAQ INVASION AND CALL IT THE WORST MISTAKE IN MODERN TIMES. NONSENSE. ALMOST EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE UN BELIEVED SADDAM HUSSEIN HAS WMD, NUCLEAR OR CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL. SOMEHOW, THEY WERE MOVED TO SYRIA, WHERE A NUCLEAR BUILDUP IN SYRIA WAS DESTROYED BY ISRAEL, BUT SYRIA USED CHEMICAL AND OTHER AGENTS AGAINST ITS PEOPLE–TO THIS VERY DAY. BUSH JUNIOR GETS A VERY BAD RAP HERE, DESPITE ALL THE GOOD THINGS HE DID FOR AMERICA. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM WAS NOT FORESEEN BY ANYONE, INCLUDING THE FED AND TREASURY. SURE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT AS THE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY DEFRAUDED THE PUBLIC WITH BUNDLED WORTHLESS MORTGAGES, BUT AFTER 8 YEARS AND 10 TRILLION DOLLARS IN MORE DEBT THE ECONOMY IS ON THE VERGE OF A COMPLETE EXPLOSION WITH THE LITTLE GUY POSSIBLY TAKING IT ON THE CHIN AGAIN, NOT ONLY IN ASSETS BUT ZERO INTEREST RATES OR IF NOT THOSE THEN INFLATION THAT IS HIGHER THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN CARTER’S PRESIDENCY.THE TOP THREE WORST PRESIDENTS I THINK ARE BY FAR OBAMA, CARTER AND JAMES BUCHANAN, WHO SAT AS PRESIDENT AS THE CIVIL WAR SMOKED AROUND HIM, AND LINCOLN BY SMOKE-FILLED BACK ROOM POLITICS BEAT OUT STEPHEN DOUGLAS AND BECAME ONE OF AMERICA’S GREATEST.
Wendy says
I’d rather have King George III.
jay brody says
Title of this article should have stopped at “worst president ever”!!!!
Dave Stewart says
Of course you already know you’re correct, but I still wanna agree.
Greg says
Economically Obama failed the people he claims to represent. The division, diplomatic failures, and grid lock that narcissist caused makes him the worst President ever. He hates America and has done everything to hurt us, just as he wrote in his books.
Tex Pertee says
At least Hoover wasn’t guilty of deliberately and blatantly trying to destroy America and the liberties we have!
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
I say the very worst Presidents/Figureheads we have had in the U.S. are that white trash, draft dodger Bill Clinton who just so happen to have invented the government shutdown, the current Figurehead, William H. Taft, Millard Fillmore, Benjamin Harrison and John Quincy Adams are all the very worst Presidents/Figureheads our country has had.
Greg says
Clinton was given an economy by Reagan that could have made him a great President, but he blew it instead.
L.Stacey says
The economy wasn’t hit by his NAFTA program yet, so it didn’t have time to dive bomb. There was a bull market, but not by him. The visa over-stayers were at 3 million. Now we have over 20 million. By getting involved with women other than his wife in the White House, he tied up Congress and neglected his job. Bin Laden came back, destroyed billions in property and countless lives. We simply cannot afford the Clinton’s in office. Scandal follows them, body counts, lies. She is not good with security, therefore by default is not qualified to be president.
Billy says
I think Monica blew it because hitlery wouldn’t.
roger domnie says
chris, and you leave out the very worst of all, bamy. shame, shame. iran deal, him and kerry cooked up, with kerry’s son-in-law, an iranian, who got part of the 150B. benghazi, lerner, hillary emails, millions on vacations, takes 6 billion from va for the illegals, votes himself 18% raise, cuts soc sec. i can go on and on.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Roger I said the current Figurehead which Obamy, I did forget a few more of the worst Presidents/Figureheads which are Rutherford B. Hayes, James K. Polk, John Tyler, Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover. My late father said the very worst of all Presidents/Figureheads we have ever had are Millard Fillmore, William H. Taft & Jimmy Carter. The best he said were Ronald Reagan, Harry S. Truman-who went through far more insults, verbal abuse, criticism than cry baby, white trash, lying, cheating, stealing, vote & election rigging Bill Clinton. My late father said both Thoedore Roosevelt & Franklin D. Roosevelt, William McKinley, and Abraham Lincoln were the best ones we had in our country as President/Figurehead.
Warlock says
Obama signed the NDAA in collusion of course with congress who drafted it.
You and I and every other American have always had a right of trial by jury.
But no more. If a secret panel accuses you of being a terrorist, you could be thrown in a cell somewhere for life. No phone call, no judge, no jury……just gone.
Obama is a traitor….period. Some of you block that out as a derogatory word just being used to insult.
I’m not insulting him. I’m telling you he, the Bush Family, The Clinton’s are traitors.
They are all in the same club literally. Look up the CFR. They are all members, they all got each other’s backs even if they don’t like each other personally. By the way. Heidi Cruz is a member.
I’m just sitting here waiting for you guys to wake up
Calvin Mishalatube says
Well DUH!!!! This is nothing more than stating the obvious. But, the economy is not only the worst thing about this imposter. Increasing the deficit more than any one. Disarming the military and purging the fighters from its ranks, denigrating America at every opportunity to foreign nations, bowing to foreign leaders, presiding over and abetting the worst race relations since the civil war, Etc.Etc. Etc. He reminds me of the nut job in N. Korea. All take and bluster. No meat. Electing him twice, because of racial guilt. were the worst decisions this once great nation ever made. Let’s leave out his affinity for Islam and criticism of Christianity. Too much data to list. Can January come soon enough?
skylark says
I’m sure with you on that. Amen. I want to see an audit on Obama crew and his family. I also want him and his wife charged in fraud.
farmerjohn says
First of all Obama is a MUSLIM, a TRAITOR, a LIAR, a THIEF, a DIVIDER, a MURDERER, a habitual DRUG user, he’s GAY, a FAKE a PHONY and worst of all he has a dead man’s social security number so ALL you idiot’s out there who voted for this FOOL deserve what you got.
Eha says
Someone with an IQ of less than a 100, in a total, ignorance of what really happens in the rest of the world , probably no tertiary degrees from the US or elsewhere, should really not have the privilege if supposedly speaking up ‘for his country’!! Thank God, Barack Obama will be remembered in history of one of the most competent. elegant, stylish and delightful Presidents of the US by the rest of the world. Since I have a number of US friends absolutely aghast at the stupidity and ignorance happening in the States may I sincerely hope that the US post-Nov. will not be the worst third-world country of all on this planet, as most if the rest will not have the least desire to deal in any with absolute fools!! [Oh, could one hope for some correct spelling and grammar besides just a tiny bit of thought ere promulgating their ‘wise’ views to the rest of the laughing world!!]
Eha says
Oh my – what happened to my very simple comment from ‘the rest of the world’ – not that it particularly matters, but it is in the hands of both my solicitors and the British System worldwide . . . out of my hands but I pity you!!
Eha says
How interesting! Two of my totally innocent paras from o’seas have been blocked to correct a send of poor ‘farmerjohn’; an admittedly ignorant, uneducated, incorrect and perverted statements ‘cut’ by over 50%! Not before they were presented to the British ‘High’ Court of Justice and the Australian Law system as we simply will not countenance this form of verbal abuse and ignorance in internationally available media . . .
Eha says
Hmmm! Oh for honesty! You have thrice proven yourself to be the most dishonest publication on this planet!! You do not and will not publish any form, shape or size of the truth: and that includes what all the rest of the world disgustedly thinks of you!
Eha says
So sad for the US!! So pathetic you could not even be honest enough to pass the interchange! Out of my hands now: I do believe in decent, honest of exchange of opinion at all! I believe the British sense of justice and law shall be prevail. Poor, idiotic US which may be the honest and pitiful laughing stock of all the world already now is and certainly shall be !!
Eha says
Oh, interesting, since there will be a case against this comment[s] in the international courts . . . where did the information till now pass which I do have in files . and which has already been passéd on . .
R says
This Horrible person and President should have been Impeached! Only his color saved him from the act, (spineless congress). So, if we want another President like Obama, vote Hillary in and let the scandals begin. That might make a good bumper sticker? VOTE HILLARY IN AND LET THE SCANDALS BEGIN.
Obama worst president in the history of the United States? ABSOLUTELY!
John says
It’s about time his record is analyzed – in written form it can’t be defended and he is exposed for the true fraud he is and has been.
Special emphasis on “Has Been” which is most appropriate for President Obozo his failed administration and their lack of any verifiably known accomplishments.
Chucky says
Amen!
Awful says
He is the worst for more than just the weak economy! Health care debacle, State dept. treachery in Benghazi, cabinet czars shameful history, “gungate” in Mexico and death of our border agents as a result, foreign policy blunders leading to Ukraine mess and IS terror, and some of the worst domestic race riots since MLK tried to heal our nation. Deplorable!!!
Edward Hendrick says
Obama is an anti American Muslim whose goal was, and is to destroy America, which he pretty much has done. Many Americans saw this coming, while others have to a complete collapse before they wake up. He did not ruin America because he is stupid, he did it by design. He should get life in prison for treason, no parole, no pardon.
Jeff says
AND, Putting that BLOND BEOTCH in the “Black House” (presently) Would only fully destroy this country!
We must as a Nation, STOP KILLARY from ever reaching 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.!
B. Whitehead says
I agree with you 100% Main Street. Barack Hussein Obama should be remembered as the WORSE president in our history. There are so many other bad, unconstitutional things he has done to destroy our country, besides the economy. Also, we must give credit to the socialist democratic party for finding him and supporting all his bad policies. Who would dare to elect another democrat, who has said they would continue obama’s policies. Of course the stupid democrats who elected and re-elected B H O.
bobby says
How dare you compare that piece of shit to my ancestor. Hoover was President at the wrong time in history. While he was there , he helped put 100’s of thousands of people get back on their feet .. using his own money and properties. So please no comparison. . Thanks. B. Hoover
Joanne says
I have always believed since day 1 that Obama is an evil man. This comes as no surprise to me and I look forward to his final day in the WH. Being the worse president is his legacy. He is dispicable, a liar and disgraceful. He was placed in the position of POTUS as a puppet while those in the background pulled the strings. He’s always been and continues to be a total embarassment to the USA. I have always been ashamed of him and will never change my mind.
David McCrary says
Just like the 36 years (and counting) of POTUS Peanut, POTUS Barry will spend the rest of his life trying to defend what is already a legacy of failure. Sadly, a fawning MSM will be there to act as a megaphone for all of the useless, inane utterences.
Ray says
Average GDP growth of 1.55% is better than the total economic collapse of the Bush era.
Texas Son says
Prez B.O. is the PITS! Counting down the days till he is out of office in January, 2017. Good riddance!!
NoBama!!!!!

Worst President for the economy and everything else!! And Hillary would give us more of the same. He has made Jimmy Carter look good.
Awake says
One GREAT accomplishment he just did!!

Read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OracleGuy says
Obama did not make the decision. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced on Wednesday that the countenance of abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman will grace a new $20 bill. The Dept of the Treasury (a misnomer since we no longer have any treasure) made the decision.
Constitutionalist says
Awake-
Actually, i believe that having Jackson on the 20 was the Bankster’s revenge(albeit post-mortem); you see, in probably the only worthwhile thing Jackson did while in office, he succeeded in driving the Bankter’s and their predatory practices out of this country, requiring them to go “sub-rosa” for quite some time, until they were able to get the Federal Reserve Board Act passed in 1913, and thus get Congress to Unconstitutionally give up THEIR right and power to COIN money to a group of mostly-foreign banksters who claimed the right to PRINT it.
“I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more if they had known they were slaves.”
— Harriet Tubman[Araminta Ross] (c.1820-1913) African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the U.S. Civil War. After escaping from captivity, she made thirteen missions to rescue over seventy slaves using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
The ironic thing about having Tubman on the twenty is that the mere USE of Bills for 20’s(in truth, a twenty should be but the paper representation of 20oz of silver held in bank vaults, redeemable upon demand), simply perpetuates the debt-slavery schemes of the banksters!
i think that it may well be several more years before a majority of people wake up to the fact that unbacked paper currencies are debt-instruments that enslave us and our children to the Nth degree.
Here’s some food for thought:
“The great struggle of history has been for the control over money. It is almost tautological to affirm that to control the production and distribution of money is to control the wealth, resources, and people of the world.”
— Jack Weatherford, anthropologist and author of The History of Money.
“The control of money and credit strikes at the very heart of national sovereignty.”
— A.W. Clausen, President of Bank of America, in a response to the suggestion of a global central bank. [Clausen later became the President of the World Bank].
“Once a nation parts with control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes that nation’s laws.”
— W.L. Mackenzie King, [former Prime Minister of Canada].
“…[countries] would no longer be able to pursue any kind of independent policy. Sovereignty over the most powerful of all economic tools would be turned to an international monster…A world bank run by a world kingship of international appointees collectively not accountable to anyone? Heavenly days!”
—Former Canadian Member of Parliament, Paul Hellyer, 1994, saying that under such a global currency/banking system “the interests of citizens, of individual countries must be subordinate…to the interests of international finance.”
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
— Henry Ford(1863-1947) Founder of Ford Motor Company
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal — that there is no human relation between master and slave.”
— Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi(1828-1910) Russian writer
“The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.”
— Carroll Quigley(1910-1977) Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), mentor to Bill Clinton

“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.
— Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author
Source: Atlas Shrugged, Francisco’s “Money Speech”
“I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Our land-holders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs – but held really in trust for the treasury – must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation.
This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagances. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for the second; that second for a third; and so on, ‘til the bulk of society is reduced to being mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia(war of all against all), which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train, wretchedness and oppression.”
— Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
Source: Letter to Samuel Kercheval, Monticello, July 12, 1816
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress…. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.”
— James Madison(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
“If a nation can issue a bond it can issue a bill. The element that makes the bond good also makes the bill good. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond plus interest. Whereas the bill pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. The people are the basis for the government credit. Why then cannot the people have the benefit of their own credit by receiving non interest bearing bonds? It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay: But one fattens the usurers and the other helps the people…”
~Thomas Jefferson
“All great republics throughout history cherished sound money. This meant that the monetary unit was a commodity of honest weight and purity. When money was sound, civilizations were found to be more prosperous and freedom thrived. The less free a society becomes, the greater the likelihood its money is being debased and the economic well-being of its citizens diminished…. Yet here we are today with a purely fiat monetary system, managed almost exclusively by Alan Greenspan. The Founders were well aware of the biblical admonitions against dishonest weights and measures, debased silver, and watered-down wine. The issue of sound money throughout history has been as much a moral issue as an economic or political issue.”
– Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, 5 September 2003
“The bold efforts that the present bank has made to control the government and the distress it has wantonly caused, are but premonitions of the fate which awaits the American People should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it…If the People only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system there would be a revolution before morning!”
U.S. President Andrew Jackson in an 1828 address to Congress upon vetoing the Second Bank of the United States Charter
“Historically, the United States has been a hard money country. Only [since 1913] has the United States operated on a fiat money system. During this period, paper money has depreciated over 87%. During the preceding 140 year period, the hard currency of the United States had actually maintained its value. Wholesale prices in 1913… were the same as in 1787.”
— Kenneth Gerbino, former chairman of the American Economic Council
“Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.”
– Daniel Webster
“Most unquestionably there is no legal tender, and there can be no legal tender, in this country, under the authority of this government or any other, but gold and silver, either the coinage of our own mints, or foreign coins, at rates regulated by congress. This is a constitutional principle, perfectly plain, and of the very highest importance. The states are expressly prohibited from making anything but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts; and although no such express prohibition is applied to congress, yet as congress has no power granted to it, in this respect, but to coin money and to regulate the value of foreign coins, it clearly has no power to substitute paper, or anything else, for coin, as a tender in payment of debts and in discharge of contracts. Congress has exercised this power, fully, in both its branches. It has coined money, and still coins it; it has regulated the value of foreign coins, and still regulates their value. The legal tender, therefore, the constitutional standard of value, is established and cannot be overthrown. To overthrow it, would shake the whole system. The constitutional tender is the thing to be preserved, and it ought to be preserved sacredly, under all circumstances.”
– Daniel Webster, 1836
“The chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make any form of paper money legal tender. The present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the promise should be kept.”
— James A. Garfield(1831-1881) 20th President of the United States (1881)

The alias, Barack H. Obama has continued the deception that was installed by George H. W. Bush, via the “October Surprise of 1980.” George H. W. Bush and William Casey arranged with the leadership of Iran for Iran to continue to hold the US Embassy staff captive until Ronald Reagan had been declared the new US President. The deceit of the Bush family continues, and GHWBush founded the Carlyle Group, in collaboration with the bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia.

A very simple way to describe the Obama disaster is “If he was running a Legal Whore house in Nevada it would have

the Petroleum Industries. Ruination of our National Health system and well on its way to being a Single Payers system
run by the Government as he stated at a meeting a long time ago. His total hatred of our Nation has become more and
more evident as he has done all he can to destroy your economy and turn us in to a third world economy as more and more
American Jobs leave the Country and the INVASION of Criminal Illegal Invading Aliens is at an all time high. The border
patrol and INS have been castrated as has our Military around the world. He also wants to bring terrorist and disease

Over the last six decades or so, history has tended to favor Democratic presidents in terms of economic performance. The country’s unemployment rate has been lower at the end of every Democrat’s tenure since Kennedy took office in 1961. Ronald Reagan, meanwhile, is the only GOP president since Dwight Eisenhower took office in 1953 who can say the same.
Global growth Growth in advanced economies is projected to rise by 0.2 percentage point in 2016 from 1.9 to 2.1 percent, and hold steady in 2017. GDP growth for Obama was 1.78% and for GW Bush was 1.8%. Do you see a big difference between advanced economies and the U.S. you xenophobic, math-challenged morons?

Herbert Hoover was a very successful and productive Dam engineer/builder etc.( Obama has such no history.)
He loved his country not hatting it .As does Obama He started to cope with the Depression. Many of his plans were actually implemented by FDR. I remember I was there. I remember the election of FDR 1n 1932.>
I also. remeber Roosevelt stealing every ones gold. Watch out. Obama’s going to steal yours or maybe Your IRA’S
Sam Crabtree says
The Great Depression was a worldwide event. And the economy of the United States was a MUCH smaller portion of the world economy. To blame the depression on Hoover is absolutely wrong! Furthermore, putting Obama above Hoover would put him WAY above Carter. And that’s also false. Carter was, until Obama, the worst president of the United States. But Obama is MUCH worse than Carter. Carter was poor for the economy, and pretty useles otherwise. But Obama is not poor for the economy, he is BAD for the economy. And Obama is BAD for international policy. He is BAD for international relations. And Obama is even worse for the American freedom, rule of law, andupholding his oath to protect the Constitution. Our government was formed in such a way that the different branches had the ability to keep any of the branches from overstepping their duties. Obama, as the executive branch, supposedly has to enforce what Congress decrees, and to not do what Congress doesn’t. But Obama’s position is that he does what Congress directs – if it suits him – to ignore what Congress directs when he wants – and to write executive orders if Congress doesn’t direct what Obama wants. Other presidents have written executive orders – mainly to further the functionality of the executive branch. Not to enact those laws and programs that the president wanted and Congress saw fit to NOT authorize. Obama has made Congress next to impotent.
Terry says
Hoover being worst is a d-rat party of blame profile.. (Despite the d-rats claim others are active profilers and they are just trying to do the right thing. Including making hate speech against the law. They are masters of profiling.) And O is the prez of blame. And throw anyone under the bus to save his own political skin. This admin is political pollution which has seeped out into the whole country!
Back to Hoover. The economy when Hoover was prez was an entirely different animal then now . The money in circulation was very concentrated in the hands of the few robber barons and tycoons. They had “cornered the money” during the industrial revolution. They got scared of losing their fortunes, or there was no place to “invest” so they quit spending. Everything was “capital” with no place to invest. Plus there was free enterprise, govt is a pain to the economy idea solidly entrenched in society, So the govt was pretty much a non-factor in the economy. Neither the prez or congress had any control or influence over the spending of money by citizens. Thus the Great Depression was not anyone’s fault. This is not an attempt to claim Hoover was a good or a bad prez, the situation was quite different then it is now. The super rich, those bankers that started the Fed Res, were likely all republicans and ruled the economy with an iron fist, or maybe with massive amounts of ‘greenbacks”. And the d-rats, under FDR, struggled to bring the economy out it’s code blue attack oi low spending. What ended the GD was not FRD’s New Deal or the WPA, CCC or whatever, but was WWII. And the villains of the GD ,the bankers were instrumental in winning the war? How? By expanding the money supply which was used to mobilize the effort to develop, make and deploy all the planes, guns, ships, etc and hire all the GIs that defended the nation and defeated the axis.
What creates jobs? And sustains them? The exchange of money between 2 economic entities. Govt, .orgs and individuals are all economic entities. Money, a medium of exchange, is the oxygen of an economy. The govt while an important economic entity is not the only game in town..The two extremes of govt in the economy are no one works for the govt a jungle or everyone works for the govt, socialism. And islam is the mother of all socialism and they have a very, very , very narrow existence. It is allah or nothing and they are far closer to being nothing, hell on earth, than a desirable place to live.
I think Henry Ford got it right when he raised the wages for his workers way back when so they would have enough money to buy cars? Working people spend all their money, keep it moving thus creating jobs, while rich people only spend part of their income to survive and “invest” most of their income. And the fed res is the biggest rip off in history. It is the place for the rich to “invest” in govt by buying interest bearing govt paper. Investing in govt paper is the safest, most secure investment because the govt gets its money from taxation. One of the two guarantees in life. If money moves, changes hands, it is taxed. That is why they create foundations and trusts. Money is not moved from generation to generation. Only control of the money is moved. And control is not taxed, only assets.
I see where the NCAA etc. are going to penalize or boycott states that don’t behave like they wish about toilets. What is next? Will they decide to punish states if they don’t have what these .orgs think is the “proper” speed limits? Or maybe they are just like O and think they can just make up their own rules or ignore laws they don’t like? Are they practicing commercial sharia law??

Thus the Great Depression was not anyone’s fault.
“It [the depression] was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence…. The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as the rulers of us all.”

You should maybe read several citations of McFadden; wise man, hip to the bankster’s schemes, even if he was unable to persuade many Americans of their danger from them.
abbott says
The way I see it Odumbo was a shoe in of big money of the middle east and the new world orders desire to weaken the US to fall into their hands. ODumbo has no credentuals to be anything more than a sock puppet, he has sealed records. Never proving his legitimate place of birth. All the laws he signed are therefore illitgit. Hidden by the left compulsion to lie and decieve to get what they want. America has been a generous to accept a PC black that has admittly claims to be a mussilum. Even after his deception was made known. This known as fraud. If your employed and lie on your application. That would be grounds for termination. The unseen hand of power and that authority to corrupt congress is why he was not terminated or told to resigned. I believe the reason he was choose is dispite his claim to be a constitutional scholar.his is in reality a complete idiot. He is a schill,a front man of those that made him propped him up to do their bidding. As far as joke its on all the idiots who voted for him. This is how your masters laugh at you. When you don’t stand for something, you’ll buy into anything. Even having a dictator in office.
Terry says
It appears to me that American citizens are “political infidels” in our own country. We will be boycotted, be economically beheaded if we don’t agree with our ayatollah type regime in PC.DC. We have to believe in their ideas of political correctness. Like same sex marriages, transgender people getting preferential treatment over people that accept their sexuality is not a birth defect but the will of God, that abortion is a right not a beheading of the most innocent humans, that immigrants have equal rights as do citizens, and large numbers of muslim “refugees” who are being sent here by unknown persons for unknown reasons, but some are trouble makers! Does anyone realize what the opposite to socialism, to govt being god and providing all to their favs free? I think the opposite can be summed up in one word. Work. The Garden of Eden is over and God’s now plan is we all have to work to survive. And neither govt or O can change that. They just enslave one group to work and have to provide for another group. The workers are the ones on the govt plantation, while the pols and those on welfare are the overseers. We even have to pay for their health care insurance and retirement.
abbott says
When you take the devil home invite him into your house. Cloth him help him, feed him. When he becomes fat dumb and happy at your expense knowing he’s a liar a deciever posing as your friend. Then he turns on you,demanding that you continue to serve him, as you realize your error and try to correct it, you realise the devil has become stronger knows your weaknesses and now has control over you and your household because of your kindness. You confront him. he says you found out I was the devil and did nothing to stop me when you could, so its your fault that I now own you! Odumbo thru his so called religious /Occultic doctrine has done the same thing. He has saddly played the American people against the constitution, blacks against whites. Gender against accepted norms. Nation against nation. And for a posser to hide accountability for Americans murdered on his watch is the ultimate betrayal. He should be stripped of all benifit and resign a dishonorable discharge if justice be served for betraying his oath of office.

The problem with the people who have supported Obama whether it be voters or media people is that they either don’t bother to believe the facts, get confused by the facts, ignore the facts, or more likely just don’t give a crap about what he does, the lies he tells, the hypocrisy he displays because he is black. When you look at the record over the last 7 years objectively there has been little real accomplishment where it really counts and his overall agenda has been divisive and an economic disaster for the people he supposedly champions the most, blacks and Hispanics. Its about time these folk woke up and make sure they don’t make the same mistake with Hillary who is a real degenerate. Check the Judicial Watch web site which is a neutral site and you can find all the incriminating evidence against her with regards to Benghazi, her emails and her money laundering through the Clinton Foundation. Both Obama and Hillary should be in jail. Obama should have been impeached long ago for his lawless acts as President and failure to follow his oath of office. Likewise, Hillary has jeopardized our National Security and they both hate the Country they have taken an oath to protect.
Chemiker says
Hoover was essentially a Democrat, and tried Keynesian cures. This worked badly, and FDR compounded the error. The sharp panics after WWI and the Civil War (and others) righted themselves. The congress and its trade polices (bipartisan idiocy) also helped to make the panic into a depression. Often, doing nothing is far better than trying to cure a problem whose origin is unclear.
dprato says
I want to state at the outset that this comment has nothing to do with this article in particular. I am interested in sharing some bipartisan thoughts about the topic, We Are The Party, and address it to both Democrats and Republicans alike.
This election cycle has focused my thinking about the process we go through in both parties to select a candidate to represent us in the November elections. During the Democratic primaries Democrats vote for their choice but the “Party” has super delegates who are not beholding to the rank and file Democratic voter. On the Republican side it is apparent that when they don’t like who the rank and file Republicans are voting for “they” the “Party” try to decide who is going to be the nominee over the choice of the majority of their members. In both cases the Democratic and Republican parties forget that in reality you and I “Are the Party” and we should be the ones that ultimately decide who represents us.
To this end I am suggesting a voter “Revolution” where people push back hard on their respective parties and remind those in charge that you and I are the party and we really don’t care for these rules that take the ultimate say away from those of us who are also registered Democrats and Republicans. I would urge those of you who agree to write and call your respective Congressional, State and Local representatives to complain about the “process” in addition to the DNC and RNC depending on your party affiliation.
I think its time that the people involved in the political process understand that they only derive their authority from the People when we give it to them and WE need to recognize that when we acquiesce and let them do as they wish we are abrogating our individual prerogatives to have them represent us as we would like to be represented.
Those of you who feel you agree with my sentiments are free to use this statement in any comments or letters or conversations you have. It is my intention to insert this statement in the comments of every article I read online and to hopefully start a movement that will hold both political parties accountable to their members.
Thanks for reading this whether you agree or not.
Chemiker says
Agreed. The problem is that we as a people are “too busy” or too lazy to fight. You are correct that we need to take the process back. “Dancing with the Stars” and “American Idol” will not solve out problems. Go to party meetings. Go to caucus. Write letters to the local paper.
Jim D says
Any cognizant person living in 2008, who was paying attention to the promises and rhetoric spewed from all parties involved in the presidential election would have been able to see the repressed truth emanating from behind the masks of the orator.
It was very clear when listening closely, one could hear the suppressed contempt for this nation, and its populace. There were more expressions quantified to an alert listener that an agenda (if given the chance) to destroy America was about to take place.
The last 7 years of history will speak for itself weather this proclamation was true or not.
Any person speaking in deceptions cannot conceal the actuality of their activities, at some point these notions become acknowledged, and will haunt them to the end of there commission.
With the current election campaigns underway the electorate are once again sinking into the quagmire of hollow promises. Along with promises of more of the same from three fronts. I believe it is too late change the countries transformation, which took years of programming to usher in this so called New World Order.
Be very cautious of the wishes you make, lest you are truly prepared to live with the consequences.

If Obama had been a republican he would have been exposed as illegal. The republican party failed to check him out. He does not hold to American values but 90 percent of our young Americans no longer hold those values; nor do many of our political leaders. Our American constitution will soon be set aside.
Betty Hawley says
I don’t know what religion Obama claims, but I do now that I walked into a room where the TV was on and he was being interviewed by some commentator. I am not an Obama fan, and quickly left the room. All I heard him say was “…. my faith. There is no more beautiful sound than the call to prayers in the early morning.” It is possible he was referring the religion he practiced as a child. I don’t know. But I don’t know of a single Christian faith where there are calls to prayers in the early morning.
He has left this country in bad shape and Hillary promises to continue his legacy. What is incredible to me is that a single person has voted for her. She might have gotten three votes—Bill’s, Chelsea’s and Hillary’s brother. Who on earth would consider this awful, lying woman for any office of any kind?
She has laughed off the e-mail scandal. She’s riding on Bill’s coattails and always has, not that that is anything to be proud of.

Galen says
Actually, Hoover had an excellent record when he became president — but he inherited a vastly unexpected economic situation that no one, not even the banking experts, knew what to do. Had Gore been president rather than Bush, the U.S. would probably not have invaded Iraq, with the subsequent chaos which Obama has worked to repair. As for our current presidential contenders, remember that Trump is a four-letter word. (Well, ok, a five letter word…but the same principle.)
Arthur Hartsock says
Mr. Hoover was a decent, honest man who was caught in a perfect storm. The stock market (which was a giant bubble) crashed, and banks in Europe and the US went broke. Hoover tried to relieve the situation, but everything he did made matters worse. Truthfully, no one else at that time could have done any better. So, Hoover was a good man in a bad situation. Mr. Obama is a man trying to transform (destroy) our country. He believes everything good about our country’s history is bad, and needs to be corrected. Mr. Obama isn’t half the man that Mr. Hoover was.
Earnie Fossan says
I think everyone has got it wrong ! Obama isn’t the problem the problem is with Congress! Obama is black and Congress is racist! We don’t have the worst president what we have is the worst Congress in history !!!
Arthur Hartsock says
True, Congress has been rotten. Rotten because they have rolled over for Mr. Obama. Don’t bring up the race card. Race has benefitted Mr. Obama, because many Republicans are afraid of being labelled racist. Mr. Obama’s policies are what’s wrong. Not skin color.

I read the article a couple of times and I came away with a couple of thoughts, one is the present occupier of the Peoples House will use his fall back position of ” It’s somebody else’s fault”. IF this or that would have gone MY WAY things would have been different. Same ole lame excuse. Then the MEDIA has never treated me fairly and Fox news is just anti American by not endorsing my programs Fair and Balanced. It’s the same old story. Football team loses and you fire the Coach.

Holland180 says
James says…no doubt about it, Obama is the worst President ever. He has done more to divide the people then to try and unite them. He had made it a bad thing to achieve or be successful. He restrains hard work effort in favor of redistribution of wealth and feels that those who have reached some success only did it at the expense of others and therefore should share with the lesser ones. He has overwhelmingly supported blacks that have committed crime or who have suffered only because of their own poor behavior over those who obey the law and then react against oppression from blacks. He has come out against police in favor of the unruley black behavior. He has decimated the military strength. He has caused most of the world to loose respect and trust for our country. He has sided and embraced Islam over Americans. He favors socialist form of government and has led the liberal, progressive democrats to bow in awe to everything he does. You can write his name down in the book of life and then strike a line through it!!!!
Rocketman says
We are in the final year of a presidency that has been so bad as to defy belief. I have serious issues with Donald Trump. I think that far too much of what he says he doesn’t believe but is just saying it to get votes. I also have serious issues with Cruz and Sanders. But with Hillary Clinton I have no doubt what so ever. The woman is totally unfit to hold ANY ELECTED OFFICE. When I say any I’m not just talking about the presidency, I’m talking about assistant dog catcher in Rat’s Butt Nevada.

IF CONGRESS AND THOSE AMERICANS SUPPORTING THIS JOKE AND ILLEGAL PRESIDENT DON’T WAKE UP NOW, NOW, NOW, HE WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY OUR COUNTRY BY TURNING IT OVER TO ISLAM SHARIA LAW, WHICH IS HIS OBJECTIVE!

Anyone notice a trend, here?
It is my sincere hope that Trump wins and at least gets the CHANCE to repair decades of damage(assuming he isn’t “gotten to” and capitulates to the Shadow Government, that is)…but IMO, what’s truly at the root of America’s ills is the fiat currency – and NO ONE dares tackle that one, especially after what happened to JFK.(LBJ’s first EO was to reverse the EO JFK had written, when JFK was attempting to set up a competing currency to the FRN.)

Constitutionalist:
We are all unique in our gifts I surmise. I’m not that great into law or politics, I just love our Country and am very broken as I survey what is happening today. I suppose that I am more into philosophy than anything, other than Biblical principals. I am a automatically attracted to folks that love our Country as I do, and those that love the Lord. For this you have proved to me many times that you are a person of wisdom…… THANKS.

Obama never saw a crisis that he couldn’t find a way to make worse. He didn’t just step in it when it came to properly managing a bad situation; he intentionally found ways to make every situation worse than when he got there. It’s like calling the police after a robbery, and the police fall over themselves destroying crime scene evidence at the scene. Not that I’m making a criticism of police, but placing the blame completely upon the Zero.

Not only a very bad economics president, but a crappy military, morals, and overall president.
Donna Vonne says
b. o. is the worst pres. EVER -cause he hates America, white people, Christians, Jews, Military and he cut 2/3 or the Military and America is more in danger than ever before in History because our Military Generals that loved America and were actually doing what’s best for America back then. he pink slipped them and the Military will vote for Trump also. America is in a life and death battle to keep America safe. Hillary will do what she did for the 4 men that died in Bengazi. How safe were they? They asked for security troops over 70 times and she never answered the plea, she wanted them DEAD! So she did nothing, does that make you feel safe after she let those men die, her and B.O. did nothing to help those 4 men. They hate America they don’t even like all black people because the Planned Parent gang were set up to kill black babies in black neighborhoods at the beginning and b o and Hillary are still working for planned Parent gangs.
