Liberty & Union: Obamboozled

Three years from now to the day, 20 January 2017, should the Creator wish His world to keep spinning, Barack Hussein Obama will cease to be President of the United States upon the inauguration of his successor, the forty-fifth president. Mr. Obama campaigned on the slogans "Hope" & "Change," providing precious few details of his program & serving as a cipher onto whom a divided & war-weary electorate could superimpose their own agendas. More than halfway through his presidency, there is less hope, more workers having become "discouraged" & dropped out of the labor force entirely; fewer Americans have health insurance than before the implementation of "Obamacare," the president's central policy achievement; & the United States appears to be a feckless & sullen superpower, directionless & indecisive, neither respected by allies nor feared by enemies. The majority of the change has been for the worse, with the federal bureaucracy being used to harass & punish the president's political opponents, a decrease in the labor force participation rate, a national debt over fifty per cent higher than that which Candidate Obama labelled "unpatriotic," & America's primacy on the world stage having been symbolically ceded to Russia. The fruits of Mr. Obama's false hope & changes for the worst are seen in the public opinion polls; on average, the president's job approval rating stands at forty-two per cent, while his disapproval rating stands at fifty-three per cent. The corrupt tyranny of Barack Obama will end—though the baleful consequences will linger for years & decades—three years from to-day.

"Liberty & union, now & forever, one & inseparable."
