OBAMA: He's sure no Truman

| June 28, 2015 9:00 PM

Recently, there have been one or two letters defending Barack Obama. So, let me say this.

Obama falsely claimed:

1) That 97 percent of scientists blame global warming on man-made causes.

2) That no one would lose their health coverage, everyone could keep their own doctor, and that their health care costs would be reduced (only partially true).

3) He would close Guantanamo Bay prison in his first year in office.

4) That he, Hillary, etc., didn’t watch the Benghazi attack in real time, but in a delayed broadcast.

5) That he would hold accountable those responsible for “Fast and Furious.” How could he do that when he and Eric Holder were the authors of this plan designed to make gun ownership more restrictive?

In addition:

1) He didn’t hold Leon Panetta accountable for disclosing classified information about the Osama bin Laden raid which resulted in the imprisonment of the doctor who made the raid possible, and probably resulted in the deaths of several Navy SEALs.

2) He promoted Susan Rice for lying on his behalf regarding the Benghazi raid.

As a former community organizer, he believes that the end justifies the means and lying is just one tool.

However, all that having been said, is he any worse than the clueless incompetent, borderline dolt who was his immediate predecessor, or the lying womanizer before that?

In my entire lifetime we have only had three presidents worthy of holding the highest office in the land, with Harry Truman head and shoulders above the rest.
