What is this madness? In a tweet earlier this year, prominent Republican Senator Ted Cruz said he agrees with a recent study by Texas A&M University naming Barack Obama as the 5th best president “in our history”.
How is it that Cruz, until now a vocal opponent of our Marxist president and his crazy liberal excesses, thinks Obama deserves to be honored with a #5 ranking?
Has Obama subverted the senator from Texas to his cause?
The image of a document, which Senator Cruz included in his tweet is the answer.
See Cruz’ tweet and the document after the break:
I have to concur with Ted; I prefer to call it last place or worst so far, which is well-deserved. https://www.facebook.com/theconservativetribune/posts/1679685095443353
Well in my book , he was just another muslim who wanted to destroy our country.
So Obama 42 place lmao I still disagree he’s in last place! ,……….Cruz’ tweet reads:
Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln and 8 others tied for First.
15 Presidents tied for Second.
17 Presidents tied for Third.
Jimmy Carter wowed us all to land in Fourth Place.
..and Barack Obama came in 5th place.
And exactly how did he destroy America?
Republican Sen. Bob Corker turned up the heat on Donald Trump on Monday, calling the president’s upcoming tax reform meeting with GOP senators a political stunt.
In his harsh remarks, Corker said that the lunchtime meeting scheduled for Tuesday is nothing but a “photo op.”
The key Republican senator’s comments should be concerning to Trump, who will need Corker’s support if he wants to push tax reform legislation through the Senate. Without Corker, the White House can only afford to lose one more Republican vote.
After an entire year of legislative losses, Trump and GOP leadership are desperate for some type of political win. As one Twitter user put it on Monday, the president and his Republican colleagues would throw a victory party for “passing a kidney stone” at this point.
But as Corker noted today, the upcoming meeting between Trump and his Republican colleagues in the Senate couldn’t possibly be anything more than a photo opportunity.
This is a president, after all, who knows – and doesn’t care to learn – details about any policy issue that faces him, from health care to tax reform, regardless of how high the stakes are. The idea that Trump will show up to Tuesday’s meeting well-versed on the complexities of tax reform legislation is ludicrous.
In fact, this president has repeatedly shown that he hasn’t read the very legislation he claims to support.
Instead, Trump sees politics and governing as extensions of his show business career. He wants ratings and attention – nothing else. The more drama and conflict, the better – even if it’s a back-and-forth with a grieving, pregnant war widow.
Without the depth of knowledge or even a casual understanding of how the federal government operates, all Trump has left are political stunts and photo ops. And Sen. Corker, who seems eager to leave the town that has become consumed by Trump’s reckless incompetence, seems to care very little about holding back.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled, closing at 21,414.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs.
Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting groundbreaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns.
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama: may we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more exactly like it.
Mr Obama wants to be the first muslin emir of an islamic America. !!! Do NOT be deceived by rensel the fox. !!!!!
B******t
ALL THE OTHER PRESIDENTS WERE 1 THRU 4! THANK YOU AND YOU ARE CERTAINLY WELCOME!
