To the contrary, no praise for President Obama

This is in response to the opinion piece titled “In Praise of President Obama.”
The economy started coming out of the recession one month before Obama took office. His so-called payoff of his union friends in the disguise of a stimulus did nothing but put millions of tax dollars into union bosses and their relatives’ pockets.
Just yesterday it came out that $600,000 tax dollars that went to GM was paid to one of the union boss’s daughter’s business. His so-called stimulus did nothing but stifle the economy. How could Republicans obstruct when the Democrats have had complete control of the government from Obama’s first day until a little over a year ago?
The war in Iraq was over before Obama took office. The military was in occupation mode.
Yet now there are still thousands in that country, and the war in Afghanistan is not winding down.
There have been more military killed in the three years of Obama than eight years of Bush. Matter of fact, 68 percent more.
A gutsy decision to kill Osama bin Laden? Jimmy Carter would have made that decision — that was a no-brainer. Of course, then Obama and Vice President Biden release classified info to Hollywood to glamorize it, against the wishes of the Navy Seals who wanted to remain anonymous. Of course, the writer forgot to mention that Obama has dropped bombs in Libya, Yemen, Pakistan and three other countries.
The fact is, Obama has not campaigned on his accomplishments. Because he has none. That is why he keeps attacking Mitt Romney on what he thinks he would do if president.
Obama will go down in history as the most incompetent, racist and divisive president in history.
