Democrat Obama's Legacy

by Register Peace & Freedom or Green
We remember 50% poverty and 80% living from paycheck to paycheck including the 50% in poverty after 8 years of Democrat Obama’s failed presidency;
We remember 50% poverty and 80% living from paycheck to paycheck including the 50% in poverty after 8 years of Democrat Obama’s failed presidency;

We remember 43 million student loan debtors because we do not have free education for all and it should be free from pre-school through university; we remember the failure to forgive all student loans; we remember the theft of Social Security payments from the poor who have student debt under the pretext of paying for student loans (http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/12/21/older-americans-pushed-poverty-feds-garnish-social-security-student-debt and http://www.aging.senate.gov/hearings/indebted-for-life-older-americans-and-student-loan-debt);

We remember Democrat Obama’s refusal to support socialized medicine guaranteeing free medical care to all who live or visit here upon demand from cradle to grave and instead, with both the House and Senate majority Democrat when first elected, promoted a tax give away to the insurance companies with high deductibles and co-pays for American citizens only and restrictions on abortion payments known as Obamacare or the “Affordable” Care Act also known as Republican Mitt Romney’s medical plan for Massachusetts when he was its governor, with an increase in Medicaid tossed in which Medicaid expansion could have passed separately, with the lack of socialized medicine for all causing about 1,000 deaths per year (see http://www.pnhp.org/news/2015/september/more-americans-gain-health-coverage-but-many-can%E2%80%99t-afford-to-use-it-doctors-group and http://kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/coverage-for-abortion-services-in-medicaid-marketplace-plans-and-private-plans/;

We remember a decline in life expectancy in 2015 for the first time in 20 years due to increased poverty, despite 8 years of Democrat Obama being in office (See https://www.liberationnews.org/u-s-life-expectancy-falls-for-first-time-in-20-years-as-inequality-rises/ and https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db267.htm);

We remember Democrat Obama cut auto workers’ wages in half during the takeover of the bankrupt General Motors in 2009 (See http://labornotes.org/2010/10/uaw-members-protest-50-wage-cut-gm-plant-demand-vote, https://socialistworker.org/2009/06/02/a-giant-falls-and-workers-pay);

We remember the spending of $1 trillion to upgrade US nuclear weapons instead of abolishing all nuclear weapons and nuclear power (Democrat Obama);

We remember that the Obama administration sold more weapons than any other since World War 2 (See http://www.globalresearch.ca/obamas-administration-sold-more-weapons-than-any-other-since-world-war-ii/5566411);

We remember Democrat Obama’s illegal wars against Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Syria (On Iraq, seehttps://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/indepth/2016/10/13/troops-from-sixteen-different-countries-currently-involved-in-iraq; on Libya, see http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/5-Years-Later-US-Is-Carrying-Out-More-Airstrikes-in-Libya-20160801-0018.html; on Yemen, crimes against humanity perpetrated by the US puppet, Saudi Arabia, at https://www.rt.com/news/373712-yemen-starvation-fishing-houthis/); on Pakistan, where Democrat Obama sent illegal drone strikes repeatedly, see https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2016/07/01/obama-drone-casualty-numbers-fraction-recorded-bureau/; on Somalia, see http://www.globalresearch.ca/u-s-attacks-in-somalia-expose-failure-of-decade-long-war-strategy/5514312; on Afghanistan, see http://inthesetimes.com/article/19285/its-time-to-put-an-end-to-us-occupation-of-afghanistan; and on Syria, see http://www.globalresearch.ca/i-am-a-syrian-living-in-syria-it-was-never-a-revolution-nor-a-civil-war-the-terrorists-are-sent-by-your-government/5544450;

We remember Democrat Obama’s illegal installation of Nazi Ukraine in 2014 with $5 billion of our tax dollars, where they worship a proud Nazi, the late Stepan Bandera and have named a street after him (on the May 2, 2014 Odessa massacre at the House of Trade Unions and the history of Nazi Ukraine, see http://ersieesist.livejournal.com/813.html, http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-odessa-massacre-was-a-carefully-planned-covert-intelligence-operation/5382253; http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-white-houses-nazis-from-hitlers-germany-in-the-1930s-to-kiev-today-the-us-disturbing-partnerships-with-nazis/5382188; http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-may-2nd-odessa-massacre-why-obamas-coup-regime-still-runs-ukraine/5446593; http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-u-s-has-installed-a-neo-nazi-government-in-ukraine/5371554;

We remember Democrat Obama’s illegal drone killings, illegal targeted assassination weekly lists, praise of US war crimes in Vietnam, providing skin-melting white phosphorus to Saudi Arabia to aid in killing 10,000 people in Yemen (same chemical used for same purpose by USA during American War against Vietnam), illegal use of “depleted” uranium in Syria, illegal use of white phosphorus in Iraq by American troops illegally there, all bombings and massacres in the US and Europe which were all staged INSIDE JOBS by definition as was the 9/11 Inside Job staged by the previous CIA family member, Bush, as is Obama, from 2009 to 2017, accelerated destruction of Civil Liberties (See “The Obama Legacy Part V: Waging War on Civil Liberties,” 8/2/16, by Danny Haiphong at http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama_legacy_civil_liberties), the refusal to compensate CIA torture victims or prosecute any officials responsible for their crimes (See : “Former CIA Detainees Describe Previously Unknown Torture Tactic: A Makeshift Electric Chair” by Alex Emmons, 10/3/16
https://theintercept.com/2016/10/03/former-cia-detainees-describe-previously-unknown-torture-tactic-a-makeshift-electric-chair/);

We remember that in 2016, Democrat Obama dropped 26,171 bombs last year on the poor people of the world, 3,027 more than in 2015 (see http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article124842824.html);

We remember the increased US military presence in mineral-rich Africa by Democrat Obama (see https://www.liberationnews.org/us-military-presence-in-africa-continues-to-grow/)’

We remember that Democrat Obama continued the scapegoating of Muslims started by Republican Bush with his 9/11 Inside Job, the American Reichstag Fire, and continued with all bombings and massacres since 9/11/01, all inside jobs, to justify war and fascism, the same reason the Nazis perpetrated the Reichstag Fire and scapegoated Jews for everything, including all kinds of watch lists, such as the No-Fly List, which lists a 7-month-old baby as a terrorist (See
http://www.alternet.org/grayzone-project/how-democrats-helped-pave-way-trumps-islamophobia);

We remember Democrat Obama’s re-election campaign on the false statement that he had Osama bin Laden killed when Osama bin Laden, who had nothing to do with the 9/11 Inside Job but was in fact a CIA agent who was on the CIA’s payroll in Afghanistan fighting the Soviet Union in the 1980s and in 2001 was the CIA’s prearranged fall guy or pasty, died of kidney disease and Marfan’s Syndrome in December 2001.

(Roberts: 9/17/13: The Killing of Osama bin Laden was an “American Hoax”)

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=30671 (One Year On, Still No Evidence For Osama Bin Laden's Killing by Brit Dee)

We remember the failure to fulfill the promise to close Guantanamo Concentration Camp where the inmates are held indefinitely and receive no charges, trial or convictions and suffer torture, all illegal, and where 41 inmates remain from the 242 Democrat Obama inherited from his predecessor, Republican Bush who originally illegally imprisoned without charge and tortured 780 men, and we remember the same Democrat Obama who upgraded the illegal Guantanamo Concentration Camp with $40 million of our tax dollars (Democrat Obama) (See https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/sites/default/files/gtmo-by-the-numbers.pdf);

We remember the Democrat Party’s revival of anti-Russian hysteria in 2016, even though the US destroyed the Soviet Union in 1991 and Russia is now a capitalist country, to promote Democrat Hillary Clinton as president with no evidence being presented of wrongdoing by the Russians (but plenty of evidence that the Republicans again won the Electoral College vote with election fraud by tossing the black vote, as they did in 2000 and 2004 as that is the only way they can win the presidency since 1992), and promoting a possible attack on Russia by NATO-USA in the last days of Democrat Obama’s presidency (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev, http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-meddling-in-1996-russian-elections-in-support-of-boris-yeltsin/5568288, http://www.globalresearch.ca/outgoing-president-obamas-operation-atlantic-resolve-against-russia-us-sends-3600-tanks-against-russia-massive-nato-deployment-underway/5566679);

We remember Democrat Obama failing to improve the environment in that 1. He did not clean up the water in Flint, Michigan and the rest of the 3,000 communities that have contaminated water; 2. He approved 1500 offshore oil drilling plans including fracking in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010 to 2014; 3. He failed to permanently cancel the Dakota Access Pipeline; 4. He approved new oil pipelines equal to 10 Keystone pipelines from 2010 to 2015; 5. He continued to allow oil and gas rail shipments. (See http://www.mintpressnews.com/donald-trump-is-anti-environment-but-so-was-barack-obama/223540/);

We remember Democrat Obama joining with Democrat California Governor Jerry Brown in destroying the Delta Tunnels and destroy the Delta’s ecosystem, and destroy local fisheries, agriculture, and recreation (see https://mavensnotebook.com/2017/01/05/this-just-in-well-sorta-secretary-jewell-lays-out-strategy-to-address-impacts-of-drought-and-climate-change-in-california/ and http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/7/27/1553375/-Delta-Tunnels-Restoring-An-Estuary-by-Diverting-Its-Water);

We remember the Democrat & Republican parties are both bought and paid for by the oil companies (See “Buying Silence: Why So Many Democrats are Mute About Standing Rock” by Michael Sainato, 11/23/16 at http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/23/buying-silence-why-so-many-democrats-are-mute-about-standing-rock/);

We remember that on Friday, December 23, 2016 while people were busy preparing for a holiday weekend, Democrat Obama signed a $619 billion military appropriations bill for the 800 US military bases and 7 illegal wars Obama was promoting, which in and of itself is unconscionable, but it also contained a Ministry of Truth clause known as the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act, an anti-free speech and anti-free press law that was part of this 3,000 plus page war-mongering bill which Congress did not read, but did approve (See http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama%27s_propaganda_gift_to_trump)’


We remember that Democrat Obama’s 2016 Ministry of Truth clause followed his 2011 Indefinite Military Detention Law for American citizens without trial or charge as part of the December 31, 2011 military appropriations bill (see https://www.aclu.org/news/president-obama-signs-indefinite-detention-bill-law, http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama_and_trump_neo-fascism, http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama%27s_propaganda_gift_to_trump and for a comprehensive list of Obama’s horrors including this one, see http://www.blackagendareport.com/locating_fascism_on_home_map and http://www.blackagendareport.com/obama%27s_last_presidential_lies);


We remember that Democrat Obama expanded the powers of the spy agencies to do warrantless searches in January 2017 (See http://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/01/13/obama-expands-spy-agencies-access-private-data-just-time-trump);

We remember Democrat Obama telling us, who voted in the majority against the Republican Donald Trump in 2016, to get in line behind Trump, whose attorney was the vicious US attorney Roy Cohn (who later became an attorney for organized crime friends of Trump, organized crime often being a part of the construction industry) who framed and prosecuted the innocent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Morton Sobell, and Democrat Obama opposed the recount in the contested states where the Republicans again committed election fraud in 2016, as they did in 2000 and 2004, which vote for his fellow Democrat presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, was a popular vote by a wider count, 2.9 million votes, than the victorious candidates in 1948 (Truman over Dewey), 1960 (Kennedy over Nixon), 1968, (Nixon over Humphrey) and 1976 (Carter over Ford) (see http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/index.html);

We remember the failure to exonerate Ethel Rosenberg, despite a petition with over 59,733 signatures to him to do so (see http://www.rfc.org/ethel); we remember the refusal to abolish the federal death penalty, the refusal to legalize all drugs to remove them from the street to end the prison pipeline as they will have no market value, the refusal to free Leonard Peltier, Sundiata Acoli, Aafia Siddiqui and all other political prisoners; the refusal to pardon Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Assata Shakur, Mutulu Shakur, Mumia Abu-Jamal; the refusal to completely close all federal maximum security prison-concentration camps and the refusal to demand that all state governors abolish the death penalty, free Mumia Abu-Jamal and all other political prisoners, the refusal to free all prisoners over age 50, the refusal to transform all prisons, federal and state, into high schools providing a high school diploma and job training for decent paying jobs, changing all sentences to a maximum of 5 years (Democrat Barack Obama);


We remember Democrat Obama’s the failure to grant amnesty to all undocumented immigrants;

We remember Democrat Obama was the biggest deporter in history, deporting 2.5 million immigrants;

We remember Palestine being destroyed by Israel (Truman through Obama, Democrats and Republicans together, 100%);

We remember the twin parties of war and fascism paid for by the same capitalist class to maximize their profits, the Democrat-Republicans, refused to abolish the stock market, refused to nationalize everything and abolish the private profit system replacing it with a planned economy to satisfy the needs of everyone as equitably as possible, refused to establish socialized medical care, including dental care and all related medical treatments and drugs, free to all upon demand from cradle to grave, refused to provide free education, including tuition and books, from pre-school through university to all upon demand, refused to legalize all drugs, thereby ending the prison pipeline; refused to abolish the military, the police, the prison-punishment system; refused to abolish the CIA, FBI and all other police state agencies; refused to abolish nuclear power and nuclear weapons and transform the US into a renewable energy state, using solar, wind and tidal power for our energy needs, along with massive, free public transit, thereby reducing cars to being rarely used; refused to house the homeless and provide free public housing to all upon demand, with housing built with full laundry and child care facilities in transit villages to minimize the need to travel to work, school, pharmacy, grocery and clothing stores and medical appointments;
