President Barak Obama is doing untold damage to the United States.

Senator Obama outlined his objectives should he be elected president. He discussed his intentions in his two books. Very few people were paying attention and the dominant media chose not to investigate. As a result America elected the first African-American president sight unseen.

The following is excerpted from the PBS Charlie Rose Show aired October 30, 2008, five days before the national election. The conversation is between Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw.

ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don’t either.

ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he has read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barak Obama?

BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know.

Five days before the 2008 election the national media, typified by the discussion between Rose and Brokaw, had not vetted Barak Obama. Four years later the American public, thanks to the media protection of Obama, remained ignorant of the president. But throughout Obama’s first term Americans were growing increasingly uneasy and suspicious especially when he signed Obamacare into law on March 23, 2010.

Appropriately, Obama will be noted in history as the most corrupt and subversive American president. Some of his negatives include:

-- Wastefulness. Obama’s focus is on income redistribution. His aim is to take from those who have created and preserved the American economy and give to those whom he designates are more worthy. This is the rationale for thievery. You want it. The other guy has it. Obama will take it for you. He has mired America in unprecedented levels of debt -- $6.5 TRILLION in five years.

-- Destructiveness. He absolutely intends to destroy a cohesive America by stimulating internal strife, pitting the poor against the middle-class and well-to-do. America is strangling on edicts, executive orders and regulations designed to enhance a larger federal government and restrict Constitutional liberties.

-- Divisiveness. His agenda; sustained by his cabinet, czars and many supporters; is racist at its core. He deliberately pits minorities against the majority, black against white, Latino against Asian. He uses political correctness and “white guilt” to leverage policies and emphasize victimhood. He uses the inflammatory speech of professional race-baiters.

Obama presided over a cut in the credit rating of the United States.

Obama was held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Obama mandated all Americans purchase a product (health insurance) from a third party.

Obama abrogated bankruptcy law. During the Chrysler bankruptcy, secured creditors entitled to first priority payment were browbeaten by the president into accepting only thirty cents on the dollar while the United Auto Workers Union holding junior creditor status were paid fifty cents on the dollar.

Obama demanded a company (British Petroleum) hand over $20 billion to one of his political appointees (Kenneth Feinberg).

Obama directed a CEO (Bob Nardelli) of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign.

Obama told a major manufacturing company (Boeing) in which state it is allowed to locate a factory (Washington versus North Carolina).

Obama is actively trying to bankrupt the American coal industry.

Obama withdrew an existing legitimate coal permit that had been issued years ago to the Mingo Logan Coal Company of West Virginia.

Obama has filed law suits against Arizona, Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, states he is to protect and defend by law as part of the Union.

Obama threatened health insurance companies if they spoke out publicly on the reasons for rate increases due to the Affordable Care Act.

Virtually nothing Barak Obama has done has left America a better place. The reverse is true. He is destroying America. Inverting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s admonition, Barack Obama was twice elected president because of the color of his skin and not the content of his character.
