Obama has weakened America

In 1978, Jim Jones, head of a religious sect in Jonestown, Guyana, convinced his flock to commit suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid, killing 918 men, women and children. From 1933-1944, Adolf Hitler convinced the German people to follow him on a rampage through Europe, killing millions of people in his quest to conquer Europe. When he failed, he committed suicide.

In 2009, a biracial senator named Barack Obama mesmerized many Americans who stood before him and promised hope, change and transparency. In the years since, many promises ended up being lies and, when confronted, he denied that he said it or pretended that he didn’t know about it. Obamacare and the Cuban negotiations are two of his many transparency failures.

What he has done in six years is to weaken America around the world, divided blacks against whites, Americans against Mexicans, women against men, and the Congress. He has ignored the Constitution and caved in to our enemies. He gets away with all of this with the help of a biased news media that protect him.

The American public spoke in the last midterm election as to which party should run the country after the 2016 election.
