Obama's Accomplishments

The previous article notes President Obama's failure in building a web site to administer his health care program, but at the same time he has done a lot, such as the following: He killed the space shuttle program while spending billions to support Russia's space program. He weakened the military by reducing the budget precipitously in the face of a global war on terror and China's rising military might, promoting homosexual and feminist rights over military readiness, and requiring even the Special Forces to operate under the most onerous rules of engagement. He weakened the military and intelligence agencies by refusing to identify America's enemy as fundamental Islam and tied the hands of the CIA and military with nearly childish rules of interrogation. He has strengthened Israel's most adamant enemies while pressuring Israel to give up a large part of her land which would greatly weaken her ability to defend herself. He has strengthened all of America's enemies by a gross lack of wisdom and leadership ability and by the appointment of people to positions of authority at the highest levels of government who are equally unqualified to lead. He has greatly injured the rule of law by the appointment of a law breaker to head up the justice department. He has increased the racial divide in America by his racist thinking and policies. He vastly increased the government's surveillance of its citizens. He brought the entire U.S. medical industry under government control. He has promoted the destruction of biblical marriage more enthusiastically than any president in U.S. history. He has brought the country to the edge of bankruptcy with more red ink than all of his predecessors combined. He has come closer than any predecessor to turning the chair in the Oval Office into a throne. But we must also remember that Obama did not elect himself. He was twice elected by a majority of the American people and is widely supported by American elites, and many of the aforementioned things did not start on his watch. Ultimately the problem is not President Obama, and let us not forget to pray for him and his family (1 Timothy 2:1-4). The problem is America.
