Can a Republican give me some facts?

What facts do you have to support the statement "Obama is destroying America"?
更新1:

Can we try for some FACTS? Not pot shots, suppositions or generalizations, please.

更新3:

Unless I am mistaken, I think that the debt, foreign aid, missile defense cuts and renewal of the Patriot Act are the purview of Congress. The President has nothing to do with gas prices; that's the free market. What is Obama doing to shrink the middle class? The rest of the assertions fall into the category of my first post.

更新4:

Stimulus is also Congress.

the unemployment rate keeps going higher

the debt keeps going higher

theres more people in poverty today

everytime theres a problem obama is off on a vacation somewhere or polishing his golf clubs.instead of trying to fix it(which he only makes it worse anyway,and blames the republicans)

not to mention he doesnt have a clue what a budget is,but thats typical since he doesnt seem to have much intelligence in the first place

Running up federal debt at a level never seen in history before. his 6.5 mil in debt vs. all the other presidents in history at 6.3

endorsed and benefitted from systematic violation of election and campaign funding laws

lending, aiding, and supporting money to terrorists / those against the USA (for example, several months ago $250 mil to the muslim brotherhood)

our shrinking middle class

reduced funding for missile defense and is threatening to eliminate the program entirely (If you know anything about national security, you know how important this is)


...Those are all facts. Need sources? I know how much you obama lovers love to use google.

Unemployment over 7.5 for over four years

The rich getting richer, the middle class contracting and the poor getting poorer.

More people on food stamps than EVER before.

Gas prices over 3 bucks a gallon since shortly after him taking office and not a thing done about it.

Christianity under attack on a daily basis, but islam gets a free pass.

ETC, ETC, ETC.

If workforce participation was the same rate today as it was 5 years go, unemployment would be at over 13%.
2013-07-31 1:44 am
He renewed the Patriot Act. The federal debt is almost $17 trillion. Unemployment is still high.

Here are some links, and explanations of of them (I think you will agree most of the sources are impeccable).

http://www.people-press.org/2013/01/31/trust-in-government-interactive/ (The public distrusts the federal government more than ever - lots of graphs here, check them out.)

http://www.usdebtclock.org/ (everyone is tightening their budget, except the Federal Government - spending more than you take in is not tightening.) Compare this to a successful handling of a recession:

Given that the government will not reduce spending, and, the shrinking jobs market, I can only believe that concerning the economy, Obama trying to bring about a variant of the Cloward and Piven strategy:

The main problem is the economy. Before him, we were in $14 trillion in debt (which is still a huge amount), but now we are $70 trillion in debt. His presidency isn't even over yet. Also, he threatened congress that if they don't pass a law, that he would spend 600 billion dollars and cut 750,000 jobs in the military and border control. They didn't do that, so he had to follow up with his blackmail scheme. He is thinking about taking away our guns and legalizing gay marraige. Also, he supports abortions. The only thing he did that was good was let the military do what they want to do. Since he did this, some of the biggest terrorists in the world were assassinated, but it cost us a fortune. Obamacare is taxing the rich people and giving it to the poor people so they can have medicare. I do understand how some people aren't able to work, but we are just giving it to lazy people. I'm only 15, so these are the few things that I can come up with.

Shrinking middle class
2013-07-31 1:52 am
There are no facts that are understandable or acceptable to progressives. Every item that conservative Republicans don't like and believe that they prove that Obama is a destructive agent, progressives believe that he is doing the right thing. Enhanced surveillance on the population, Obamacare, reducing the credit rating, wild spending, military operations not approved by congress, using they IRS to punish his enemies, fast and furious, cops acting stupidly, Solyndra. These are few of the things that republicans don't likethatprogressivescheer and dance in the streets.

President Obama’s Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Failures

It is no secret that President Obama’s and green energy supporters’ (from both parties) foray into venture capitalism has not gone well. But the extent of its failure has been largely ignored by the press. Sure, single instances garner attention as they happen, but they ignore past failures in order to make it seem like a rare case.

The truth is that the problem is widespread. The government’s picking winners and losers in the energy market has cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and the rate of failure, cronyism, and corruption at the companies receiving the subsidies is substantial. The fact that some companies are not under financial duress does not make the policy a success. It simply means that our taxpayer dollars subsidized companies that would’ve found the financial support in the private market.

So far, 34 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.

The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:
1.Evergreen Solar ($25 million)*
2.SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
3.Solyndra ($535 million)*
4.Beacon Power ($43 million)*
5.Nevada Geothermal ($98.5 million)
6.SunPower ($1.2 billion)
7.First Solar ($1.46 billion)
8.Babcock and Brown ($178 million)
9.EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*
10.Amonix ($5.9 million)
11.Fisker Automotive ($529 million)
12.Abound Solar ($400 million)*
13.A123 Systems ($279 million)*
14.Willard and Kelsey Solar Group ($700,981)*
15.Johnson Controls ($299 million)
16.Brightsource ($1.6 billion)
17.ECOtality ($126.2 million)
18.Raser Technologies ($33 million)*
19.Energy Conversion Devices ($13.3 million)*
20.Mountain Plaza, Inc. ($2 million)*
21.Olsen’s Crop Service and Olsen’s Mills Acquisition Company ($10 million)*
22.Range Fuels ($80 million)*
23.Thompson River Power ($6.5 million)*
24.Stirling Energy Systems ($7 million)*
25.Azure Dynamics ($5.4 million)*
26.GreenVolts ($500,000)
27.Vestas ($50 million)
28.LG Chem’s subsidiary Compact Power ($151 million)
29.Nordic Windpower ($16 million)*
30.Navistar ($39 million)
31.Satcon ($3 million)*
32.Konarka Technologies Inc. ($20 million)*
33.Mascoma Corp. ($100 million)

*Denotes companies that have filed for bankruptcy.

The problem begins with the issue of government picking winners and losers in the first place. Venture capitalist firms exist for this very reason, and they choose what to invest in by looking at companies’ business models and deciding if they are worthy. When the government plays venture capitalist, it tends to reward companies that are connected to the policymakers themselves or because it sounds nice to “invest” in green energy.
參考: The 2009 stimulus set aside $80 billion to subsidize politically preferred energy projects. Since that time, 1,900 investigations have been opened to look into stimulus waste, fraud, and abuse ! Also : a nearly 600 convictions have been made. Of that $80 billion in clean energy loans, grants, and tax credits, at least 10 percent has gone to companies that have since either gone bankrupt or are circling the drain.

"Destroy" is rather melodramatic. The better definition would be "collapse"
our country. And no, there really are no quick, one sentence facts, that
would stand on their own without longer validations ( details ). For anyone
with a deeper interest, review HOW Obama is; decimating the military /
running the country into massive debt, while printing 85 BILLION dollars a
month to keep the economy "afloat" / compartmentalizing Religion /
upsetting the diplomatic status quo by antagonizing our oldest allies and
embracing a religious dogma that resents the U.S. / keeping the country
divided and anxiety driven by race, religion, ethnicity, class and politics.
By his arrogant and narcissistic refusal to release 30% of his entire life's
experience, which raises the issue of WHAT does this man have to hide
so desperately.

Unemployment rate is about equal to his golf handicap.
2013-07-31 1:44 am
he is black, i mean I don't support his policies on everything and race has nothing to do with it. Yeah and death panels.
