Obama is the worst president since Carter

| June 28, 2010 9:00 PM

I supported President Bush in sending troops to the Gulf War, but now I’m wondering if it isn’t time to bring our people home from Iraq and Afghanistan. This war is going on and on. If the Iraqis and Afghanis haven’t got it figured out by now how to control their own terrorists, they never will.

Let’s bring our troops home and have them defend our own borders. Neither Presidents Bush nor Obama did anything to resolve the terrible

mess  on our southern border. I think their non-action has been purely political — anything for the growing Hispanic vote.

Obama’s directing the Justice Department to file suit against the state of Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer to stop their new immigration bill is inexcusable.  Arizona’s immigration bill is not racially profiling. It is actually not as tough as the what the federal regulations allow — which the feds are not enforcing.

You wonder where Obama’s loyalties actually lie. He has put a moratorium on all oil drilling, yet he is planning on sending milions of dollars to South America to help them drill offshore for oil. He says we “should learn from the wisdom of Europe.” Seems to me Europe’s “wisdom” led us into two world wars and increasing secularism.

Is Obama for America … or is he aiming to be head of a global government? Whatever he’s doing, he’s bankrupting the country I loved and sending us down the drain. I agree with Terry Lamb’s inference (Daily Bee, June 22) — the worst president since Jimmy Carter.
