    Anyone who supports Rand Paul doesn’t understand how the real world works.

    So you are basically mad because the degree he does hold doesn’t state the
    word “Biology” but is the study of human biology…. Really?

    Unlike Obama, who *never* lies….
    Here are 980 well sourced examples of Obama’s lying, lawbreaking,
    corruption.

    As the author of this blog post, I place it into the public domain. Anyone
    may freely copy it in any part or in its entirely, without asking my
    permission, and without paying any money. I do ask you please cite a link
    to https://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/obama-252/

    I ask you to please show this list to as many people as possible – and
    especially, to please show it to as many Obama supporters as possible.
    Sunshine really is the best disinfectant. I can’t stop Obama from doing any
    of these horrible things, but I can tell people about what he is doing. So
    please share this list with others on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Thank you.
    The short link for this is http://tinyurl.com/ku9vxug

    Every President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and
    engages in acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far
    greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign
    promises were so much better sounding than anyone else’s – no lobbyists in
    his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency
    bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care
    negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money
    isn’t being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against
    medical marijuana in states where it’s legal, high levels of transparency.
    Obama’s promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere.
    They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So
    when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other
    Presidents broke their promises.

    In the 2008 United States election, I wrote in Ron Paul for President. In
    the 2012 election, I voted for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.
    Those who are of a more leftist persuasion than myself might want to
    consider voting for the Green Party in future elections.

    Some of the things on this list are major events that should scare the
    daylights out of any true liberal who cares about civil liberties.

    Other things on this list are medium things that some Obama supporters may
    dislike, but would be willing to overlook in light of the things that Obama
    has done which they like.

    And some of the things on this list may seem trivial, but I still think
    they are an interesting reflection of the kinds of policies that Obama
    supports.

    Every claim that I make in this list is sourced. Click on the blue text to
    see the sources. I have cited a wide variety of sources, from right wing,
    to left wing, to middle of the road.

    I welcome any comments and criticisms that you may have. If you say my list
    is wrong, please back up your claim by citing specific examples.

    And now, on with the list:

    1) Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional
    approval

    In June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had
    violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libya
    without Congressional approval.

    In April 2014, Ralph Nader said that Obama should be impeached for his
    actions in Libya.

    2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton cronies – just like Bush did

    In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected
    KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as
    much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department
    had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of
    using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.

    Don’t be fooled by the words “former subsidiary.” These are the same
    Halliburton cronies that Bush gave a no-bid contract to.

    3) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn’t
    have any

    On November 15, 2007, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Obama said that lobbyists

    “… will not work in my White House.”

    However, by February 2010, he had more than 40 lobbyists working in his
    administration. A list of them can be seen here.

    4) Has close ties to Wall St., but pretends to support Occupy Wall St.

    Although Obama claims to support the Occupy Wall St. movement, the truth is
    that he has raised more money from Wall St. than any other candidate during
    the last 20 years. In early 2012, Obama held a fundraiser where Wall St.
    investment bankers and hedge fund managers each paid $35,800 to attend. In
    October 2011, Obama hired Broderick Johnson, a longtime Wall Street
    lobbyist, to be his new senior campaign adviser. Johnson had worked as a
    lobbyist for JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Comcast,
    Microsoft, and the oil industry.

    5) Broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay

    Obama broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay.

    6) Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush

    While Senator, Obama voted for the $700 billion TARP bank bailout bill. The
    bailout rewarded irresponsible and illegal behavior. It redirected
    resources from more productive uses to less productive uses. It punished
    the hard working taxpayers who had played by the rules and obeyed the law.
    It created horrible incentives, and sent the wrong message. The bailout was
    evil because it rewarded the bad people and punished the good people. No
    society that does this can expect to remain free or prosperous. Instead of
    bailing out these corrupt corporations, we should have let them cease to
    exist, like we did with Enron.

    7) Waged the biggest war against medical marijuana of any president, which
    was the opposite of what he had promised

    In May 2008, Obama campaign spokesperson Ben LaBolt said that Obama would
    end DEA raids on medical marijuana in states where it’s legal. Also in
    2008, Obama said that he supported the “basic concept of using medical
    marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs”
    and that he was “not going to be using Justice Department resources to try
    to circumvent state laws.”

    However, in February 2010, DEA agents raided a medical marijuana grower in
    Highlands Ranch in Colorado, a state where medical marijuana is legal. Also
    in February 2010, DEA agents raided a medical marijuana dispensary in
    Culver City in California, a state where medical marijuana is legal. In
    July 2010, the DEA raided at least four medical marijuana growers in San
    Diego, California. Also in July 2010, the DEA raided a medical marijuana
    facility in Covelo, California. Then in September 2010, the DEA conducted
    raids on at least five medical marijuana dispensaries in Las Vegas, Nevada,
    where medical marijuana is legal. In 2011, the DEA conducted raids on
    medical marijuana in Seattle, Washington, West Hollywood, California, and
    Helena, Montana, all places where it is legal. In April 2012, the DEA
    carried out several raids on medical marijuana in Oakland, California.

    In February 2012, Rolling Stone magazine wrote that Obama’s war against
    medical marijuana went “far beyond anything undertaken by George W. Bush.”
    In April 2012, Mother Jones magazine wrote: “The president campaigned on
    the promise that he’d stop federal raids on medical marijuana operations
    that were in compliance with state laws, a vow that Attorney General Eric
    Holder repeated after the election. But then the Obama administration
    raided more than 100 dispensaries in its first three years and is now
    poised to outpace the Bush administration’s crackdown record.” In May 2012,
    the Washington Post wrote: “Obama has become more hostile to medical
    marijuana patients than any president in U.S. history.” In May 2012, U.S.
    Congressperson Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said she had “strong concerns”
    about Obama’s forced closure of five medical marijuana facilities in
    Pelosi’s congressional district. In April 2012, commenting on Obama’s
    crackdown on medical marijuana, U.S. Congressman Barney Frank
    (D-Massachusetts) said, “I’m very disappointed… They look more like the
    Bush administration than the Clinton administration.”

    In July 2012, federal prosecutors filed civil forfeiture actions against
    Harborside Health Center, a medical marijuana dispensary in Oakland, CA,
    which claims to be the world’s largest, and which claims to serve more than
    100,000 medical marijuana patients. In April 2012, federal agents raided
    Oaksterdam University, an educational institution in Oakland, CA, which
    teaches people about medical marijuana. In April 2012, federal agents
    raided a medical marijuana facility which had been serving 1,500 patients
    near Lake Elsinore, CA. In June 2012, the Obama administration filed
    asset-forfeiture lawsuits against two landlords who rented their buildings
    to medical marijuana stores in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The Obama
    administration also sent warning letters which threatened similar legal
    action to dozens of other, nearby landlords. During the first seven months
    of 2012, the DEA shut down 40 medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado,
    all of which had been operating in compliance with state and local law.

    In April 2013, the DEA raided four medical marijuana dispensaries in Los
    Angeles, California. Also in April 2013, the DEA raided a medical marijuana
    dispensary in San Diego, California. In July 2013, the DEA conducted
    multiple medical marijuana raids in Washington state, including the cities
    of Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle. In August 2013, the DEA raided People’s
    Choice Alternative Medicine, a medical marijuana facility in Ann Arbor,
    Michigan. In October 2013, the DEA raided 28 medical marijuana facilities
    in Michigan. In November 2013, the DEA raided 12 medical marijuana
    facilities in Denver, Colorado.

    In May 2012, ABC News reported that during Obama’s youth, he often smoked
    large quantities of recreational marijuana. Obama’s marijuana smoking
    wasn’t even medical – it was recreational. And yet now, he is taking large
    scale, widespread action to prevent people with AIDS, cancer, multiple
    sclerosis, glaucoma, and other illnesses, who have prescriptions from their
    doctors, from using their prescription medicine – how cold hearted can a
    person be?

    8) Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that
    enforces the tax laws

    Obama nominated Timothy Geithner, a repeat tax cheater, to head the
    government agency that enforces the tax laws.

    Prior to his nomination, Geithner had:

    1) Illegally failed to pay more than $34,000 in social security and
    medicare taxes

    2) Illegally declared the cost of his children’s summer camp as a form of
    day care.

    3) Illegally failed to pay the early withdrawal penalty when he took money
    out of his retirement plan

    4) Illegally declared non-eligible items as a charitable deduction

    5) Illegally declared something which was ineligible as a small business
    deduction

    6) Illegally declared utility expenses which had actually been for his
    personal use

    9) Gave tax dollars to AIG executives, then pretended to be outraged about
    it

    Obama signed a “stimulus” bill that spent money on bonuses for AIG
    executives. Prior to signing this bill, Obama had said, “when I’m
    president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending
    money unwisely.” However, after reading “line by line” and signing the
    “stimulus” bill that protected the AIG bonuses, Obama pretended to be
    shocked and outraged at the bonuses, and said, “Under these circumstances,
    it’s hard to understand how derivative traders at A.I.G. warranted any
    bonuses at all, much less $165 million in extra pay… How do they justify
    this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?” and also
    said that he would “pursue every single legal avenue to block these
    bonuses.”

    10) Expanded Bush’s unconstitutional government faith based programs

    Obama expanded the federal government’s faith based programs which had been
    started by President George W. Bush.

    11) Supported Bush’s unconstitutional Patriot Act

    In May 2011, Obama signed a renewal of the Patriot Act.

    12) Increased the national debt more in one term than Bush did in two

    The national debt increased more during Obama’s first three years and two
    months than it did during all eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.

    13) Agrees with Bush’s support of unconstitutional, indefinite detention of
    U.S. citizens without filing any charges

    In December 2011, ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero criticized
    Obama for signing a bill that gave the U.S. government the power to
    indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without any charges being filed or any
    trial taking place.

    14) Agrees with Bush’s support of unconstitutional, warrantless wiretapping

    President Obama has defended warrantless wiretapping.

    15) Avoided prosecution of Wall. St criminals

    Although Obama had promised to prosecute Wall St. criminals, during his
    entire first term, his administration did not file any criminal charges
    against any of the top financial executives.

    16) Had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process

    Obama had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process.

    The ACLU accused Obama of violating the U.S. Constitution for doing this.

    U.S. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) said that Obama’s actions might be an
    impeachable offense.

    Ralph Nader wrote that Obama

    “has extended the Bush doctrine by declaring his unilateral right, as
    secret prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner, to destroy anybody,
    anywhere in the world, including American citizens, suspected to be engaged
    in alleged terrorist activities, all this vaguely and loosely defined as
    anti-U.S. security.”

    17) Ordered private company to fire 1,000 employees

    In 2011, after Boeing had hired 1,000 new employees to work at its new
    factory in South Carolina, the Obama administration ordered Boeing to shut
    down the factory, because the factory was non-union.

    18) Stole money from retired teachers and police officers

    During the Chrysler bankruptcy, Obama violated the Fifth Amendment and more
    than 150 years of bankruptcy law by illegally treating secured creditors
    worse than unsecured creditors. Some of these secured creditors were
    retired teachers and police officers from Indiana.

    Richard A. Epstein, a law professor at New York University School of Law,
    wrote of this:

    “Upsetting this fixed hierarchy among creditors is just an illegal taking
    of property from one group of creditors for the benefit of another, which
    should be struck down on both statutory and constitutional grounds.”

    Todd Zywicki, Professor of Law at George Mason University School of Law,
    wrote that Obama’s treatment of secured creditors was

    “dangerous to the rule of law.”

    The Economist wrote that Obama’s actions could

    “establish a terrible precedent. Bankruptcy exists to sort legal claims on
    assets. If it becomes a tool of social policy, who will then lend to
    struggling firms in which the government has a political interest?”

    Francis Cianfrocca, the CEO of Bayshore Networks, wrote that Obama’s
    actions were

    “an astonishingly reckless abrogation of contract law that will introduce a
    new level of uncertainty into business transactions at all levels, and make
    wealth generation more difficult going forward… An extraordinary
    uncertainty has been created when the most powerful man in the world can
    rewrite contracts and choose winners and losers in private negotiations as
    he sees fit. Since this is an unquantifiable uncertainty, and not a
    quantifiable risk, its effect on business and investor confidence will be
    large and unpredictable. As in the 1930s, a time when government also
    cavalierly rewrote private contracts, the prudent approach for business
    will be to invest minimally and wait for another administration.”

    19) Supported release of convicted mass murderer

    In 2010, Obama supported releasing Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi
    (who had been convicted of murdering 270 people) from prison.

    20) Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals

    In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun
    storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals.

    U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with one of these guns.

    The murderer was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but his accomplices, Eric
    Holder and Barack Obama, haven’t even been arrested or charged.

    21) Fired Inspector General for discovering that Obama’s friend had
    embezzled government funds

    In June 2009, Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin, after Walpin
    accused Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter, of misuse of
    AmeriCorps funding to pay for school-board political activities. In a
    letter to Congress, the White House said that Walpin was fired because he
    was “confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other
    behavior that led the Board to question his capacity to serve.” A
    bipartisan group of 145 current and former public officials, attorneys, and
    legal scholars signed a letter that was sent to the White House, which
    defended Walpin, said the criticisms of him were not true, and said that
    his firing was politically motivated. The letter can be read here.

    22) Lied about putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN

    Although Obama had made a campaign promise to have all of the health care
    reform negotiations broadcast on C-SPAN, he broke that promise after he was
    elected.

    The secrecy of these negotiations was so strong that U.S. Congresswoman and
    Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said, “We have to pass the
    bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

    23) Lied about letting people keep their health insurance

    Before Obamacare was passed, Obama said:

    “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the
    American people… If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep
    your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

    Also before Obamacare was passed, Obama said:

    “Here is a guarantee that I’ve made. If you have insurance that you like,
    then you will be able to keep that insurance.”

    However, after Obamacare was passed, the Congressional Budget Office said
    that the law would cause seven million people to lose their employer
    provided insurance.

    After Obamacare was passed, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East
    announced that it would drop health insurance for the children of more than
    30,000 low-wage home attendants. Mitra Behroozi, executive director of
    benefit and pension funds for 1199SEIU stated

    “… new federal health-care reform legislation requires plans with dependent
    coverage to expand that coverage up to age 26… meeting this new requirement
    would be financially impossible.”

    Also, after Obamacare was passed, the Franciscan University of Steubenville
    dropped its coverage in response to the law.

    Universal Orlando dropped its coverage for part time employees in response
    to Obamacare.

    In addition, after Obamacare was passed, Forbes reported

    “The House Ways and Means Committee has released a new report that sheds
    light onto how Obamacare incentivizes companies to dump their workers onto
    the new law’s subsidized exchanges.”

    Also after Obamacare was passed, MSN reported

    “The Affordable Care Act mandate most commonly known as Obamacare has some
    tight stipulations that, CNN says, are forcing health care companies to rip
    up most of their current plans and draft new ones that comply. According to
    a University of Chicago study, just about half of the individual health
    care plans currently on the market won’t cut it once key provisions of the
    Affordable Care Act kick in next year.”

    Furthermore, it was reported that Obamacare would cause 58,000 Aetna and
    UnitedHealth Group customers in California to lose their insurance.

    In response to Obamacare, some employers have dropped coverage for their
    employees’ spouses. In August 2013, it was reported that UPS had announced
    that it would be dropping 15,000 spouses of its employees from its health
    insurance, and that it had cited Obamacare as the reason it was doing this.

    The chain of Wegmans supermarkets cancelled the policies of its part time
    employees in response to Obamacare.

    In July 2013, leaders of the Teamsters, UFCW, and UNITE-HERE sent a letter
    to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi which said that Obamacare

    “will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits… these restrictions
    will make non-profit plans like ours unsustainable… we can no longer stand
    silent in the face of elements of the Affordable Care Act that will destroy
    the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other
    hardworking Americans”

    In August 2013, it was reported that 106,000 New Jersey citizens would lose
    their health insurance because of Obamacare.

    In September 2013, IBM announced that it would be switching 110,000 of its
    retirees from their current IBM-provided health insurance to the Obamacare
    exchanges.

    In September 2013, Trader Joe’s announced that, in response to Obamacare,
    it would stop providing insurance to its part time employees.

    In October 2013, it was reported that at least 146,000 people in Michigan
    would be losing their insurance because of Obamacare.

    In October 2013, it was reported that Florida Blue would be dropping
    300,000 customers because of Obamacare.

    In October 2013, it was reported that 491,977 individual insurance plans in
    California would be canceled because of Obamacare.

    In October 2013, it was reported that, in response to Obamacare, Home Depot
    would stop providing insurance to its part time employees.

    In October 2013, it was reported that Obamacare was forcing CareFirst
    BlueCross BlueShield to cancel the insurance of 76,000 people in Virginia,
    Maryland, and Washington, D.C., because their policies did not meet the
    minimum requirements of Obamacare.

    In October 2013, it was reported that hundreds of thousands of people in
    Washington state would be losing their insurance because of Obamacare.

    In November 2013, it was reported that nearly nearly 250,000 people in
    Colorado would lose their insurance because of Obamacare.

    In January 2014, it was reported that, in response to Obamacare, Target was
    planning to stop offering insurance to its part time employees.

    24) Lied about the cost of Obamacare

    Before Obamacare was passed, Obama promised

    “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or
    in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now
    or in the future, period. And to prove that I’m serious, there will be a
    provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending
    cuts if the savings we promised don’t materialize.”

    However, after Obama signed it, the Washington Post reported that it would
    add more than $340 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

    In March 2012, the Congressional Budget Office said that over the next
    decade, Obamacare would cost twice as much as what Obama had promised.

    In May 2013, it was reported that Obamacare’s program for high risk
    patients was more expensive than what Obama had promised.

    25) Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, and falsely
    claimed the money was for “green energy”

    In 2009 the Obama administration gave $535 million to Solyndra, claiming
    that it would create 4,000 new jobs. However, instead of creating those
    4,000 new jobs, the company went bankrupt. It was later revealed that the
    company’s shareholders and executives had made substantial donations to
    Obama’s campaign, that the company had spent a large sum of money on
    lobbying, and that Solyndra executives had had many meetings with White
    House officials.

    It was also revealed that the Obama administration had already been aware
    of Solyndra’s financial troubles. For example, according to the company’s
    security filings in 2009, the company had been selling its product for less
    than the cost of production. In 2010, Obama visited the Solyndra factory
    and cited it as a role model for his “stimulus” program, saying “It’s here
    that companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more
    prosperous future.” The Washington Post wrote of this, “Administration
    officials and outside advisers warned that President Obama should consider
    dropping plans to visit a solar startup company in 2010 because its
    mounting financial problems might ultimately embarrass the White House.”
    Solyndra was a private company, but had been planning to use its government
    loans as a means of going public – so when Obama knowingly overstated the
    company’s condition in order to help his friends at Solyndra, he broke the
    same law that Martha Stewart had been sent to prison for breaking.

    In September 2011, federal agents visited the homes of Brian Harrison, the
    company’s CEO, and Chris Gronet, the company’s founder, to examine computer
    files and documents. Also in September 2011, the U.S. Treasury Department
    launched an investigation.

    On September 13, 2011, the Washington Post reported on emails which showed
    that the Obama administration had tried to rush federal reviewers to
    approve the loan so Vice President Joe Biden could announce it at a
    September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s factory. The company was a
    hallmark of President Obama’s plan to support clean energy technologies.

    The New York Times reported that government auditors and industry analysts
    had faulted the Obama administration for failing to properly evaluate the
    company’s business proposals, as well as for failing to take note of
    troubling signs which were already evident. In addition, Frank Rusco, a
    program director at the Government Accountability Office, had found that
    the preliminary loan approval had been granted before officials had
    completed the legally mandated evaluations of the company.

    The New York Times quoted Shyam Mehta, a senior analyst at GTM Research, as
    saying “There was just too much misplaced zeal at the Department of Energy
    for this company.” Among 143 companies that had expressed an interest in
    getting a loan guarantee, Solyndra was the first one to get approval.
    During the period when Solyndra’s loan guarantee was under review, the
    company had spent nearly $1.8 million on lobbying. Tim Harris, the CEO of
    Solopower, a different solar panel company which had obtained a $197
    million loan guarantee, told the New York Times that his company had never
    considered spending any money on lobbying, and that “It was made clear to
    us early in the process that that was clearly verboten… We were told that
    it was not only not helpful but it was not acceptable.”

    The Washington Post reported that Solyndra had used some of the loan money
    to purchase new equipment which it never used, and then sold that new
    equipment, still in its plastic wrap, for pennies on the dollar. Former
    Solyndra engineer Lindsey Eastburn told the Washington Post, “After we got
    the loan guarantee, they were just spending money left and right… Because
    we were doing well, nobody cared. Because of that infusion of money, it
    made people sloppy.”

    On September 29, 2011, the Washington Post reported that the Obama
    administration had continued to allow Solyndra to receive taxpayer money
    even after it had defaulted on its $535 million loan.

    On October 7, 2011, The Washington Post reported that newly revealed emails
    showed that Energy Department officials had been warned that their plan to
    help Solyndra by restructuring the loan might be illegal, and should be
    cleared with the Justice Department first. However, Energy Department
    officials moved ahead with the restructuring anyway, with a new deal that
    would repay company investors before taxpayers if the company were to
    default. The emails showed concerns within the Obama administration about
    the legality of the Energy Department’s actions. In addition, an Energy
    Department “stimulus” adviser, Steve Spinner, had pushed for the loan,
    despite having recused himself because his wife’s law firm had done work
    for the company.

    In January 2012, CBS News reported that Solyndra had thrown millions of
    dollars worth of brand new glass tubes into garbage dumpsters, where they
    ended up being shattered. Solyndra told CBS that it had conducted an
    exhaustive search for buyers of the glass tubes, and that no one had wanted
    them. However, CBS discovered that Solyndra had not offered the glass tubes
    for sale at either one of its two asset auctions that took place in 2011.
    In addition, David Lucky, a buyer and seller of such equipment, told CBS
    that he would have bought the tubes if he had had a chance to do so. Greg
    Smestad, a solar scientist who had consulted for the Department of Energy,
    also agreed that the tubes had value, and had asked Solyndra to donate any
    unwanted tubes to Santa Clara University. Smestad stated, “That really
    makes me sad… Those tubes represent intellectual investment. These could
    have had a better value to do public good. I think they owed the U.S.
    taxpayer that.”

    Solyndra was not the only “green energy” company involved in this type of
    fraud. After Obama gave Raser Technologies $33 million to build a power
    plant, the company declared bankruptcy, and owed $1.5 million in back
    taxes. After Obama gave Abound Solar, Inc. a $400 million loan guarantee to
    build photovoltaic panel factories, the company halted production and laid
    off 180 employees. After Obama gave Beacon Power a $43 million loan
    guarantee to build green energy storage, the company filed for bankruptcy.
    After Obama approved $2.1 billion in loan guarantees for Solar Trust of
    America so it could build solar power plants, the company filed for
    bankruptcy.

    In April 2012, CBS News reported that Solyndra had left a substantial
    amount of toxic waste at its abandoned facility in Milpitas, California. In
    May 2014, it was reported that the building in Longmont, Colorado that had
    been abandoned by Abound Solar in 2012 was still contaminated with cadmium,
    a toxic metal which can cause cancer.

    Although Obama stated that all of the “green energy” companies that
    received taxpayer money were chosen “based solely on their merits,” the
    truth is that 71% of these grants and loans went to Obama donors and
    fundraisers, who raised $457,834 for his campaign, and were later approved
    for grants and loans totaling more than $11 billion. By November 2011, the
    Energy Department’s inspector general had begun more than 100 criminal
    investigations related to Obama’s “stimulus.” Although an “independent”
    review said that Obama had not done anything wrong, it was later reported
    that Herbert M. Allison Jr., the person who had conducted this
    “independent” review, donated $52,500 to Obama’s campaign.

    26) Had “off the record” meetings with lobbyists

    In June 2010, the New York Times reported that Obama administration
    officials had held hundreds of meetings with lobbyists at coffee houses
    near the White House, in order to avoid the disclosure requirements for
    White House visitors, and that these meetings “reveal a disconnect between
    the Obama administration’s public rhetoric — with Mr. Obama himself
    frequently thrashing big industries’ ‘battalions’ of lobbyists as enemies
    of reform — and the administration’s continuing, private dealings with
    them.”

    27) Falsely claimed to believe in public education

    Although Obama said, “We need to uphold the ideal of public education,” he
    expressed his true opinion of America’s public education system by sending
    his own children to private schools while living in Chicago and Washington
    D.C.

    28) Falsely promised that Obamacare would give people “the same kind of
    insurance that Senator McCain and I enjoy”

    In 2008, Obama said:

    “If you don’t have health insurance, you’re going to be able to buy the
    same kind of insurance that Senator McCain and I enjoy as federal
    employees.”

    However, the New York Times reported:

    “No patient gets closer medical attention than the president of the United
    States. Wherever he goes, a doctor, nurse or paramedic trails a few
    footsteps behind, ready for any medical need. It is the ultimate in
    concierge medicine.”

    29) Shut down Amish farm

    In February 2012, Obama shut down an Amish farm for selling unpasteurized
    milk across state lines, even though the customers were happy with what
    they were buying.

    30) Rewarded his fundraisers by giving them federal jobs

    Although Obama had promised to have “the most sweeping ethics reform in
    history,” and had often criticized the role of money in politics, the truth
    is that after he was elected, he gave administration jobs to more than half
    of his 47 biggest fundraisers.

    31) Ignored constitutional requirements for appointees

    In February 2009, U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) expressed
    concern that Obama’s dozens of czars might violate the U.S. Constitution,
    because they were not approved by the U.S. Senate. U.S. Senator Russ
    Feingold (D-Wisconsin) expressed a similar concern in September 2009.

    32) Gave tax dollars to corrupt private contractors to build 504 units of
    mice infested, slum housing, with backed up sewage

    While Obama was a state Senator in Illinois, he used tax dollars to build
    504 units of slum housing, which had mice and backed up sewage. Federal
    inspectors graded the condition of the housing so bad that the buildings
    faced demolition.

    33) Used tax dollars to glorify murderers

    The Obama administration spent $1.6 million to restore graffiti that
    glorified communist murderers Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.

    34) Falsely claimed that the U.S. Supreme Court had never overturned any
    laws that had been passed by Congress

    Despite having taught constitutional law at one of the most prestigious law
    schools in the country, in April 2012 Obama falsely claimed that the U.S.
    Supreme Court had never overturned any laws that had been passed by
    Congress.

    35) Supported new bailouts for speculators who caused housing bubble

    In March 2012, Obama announced a new set of bailouts for speculators who
    had caused the housing bubble.

    36) Spent $205,075 on a shrubbery which nurseries sell for $16

    During one of Obama’s “stimulus” projects, $205,075 of combined federal and
    local government funding was spent to relocate and care for a single
    specimen of Arctostaphylos franciscana, a shrubbery which nurseries sell
    for $16.

    37) Spent taxpayer money to see if using cocaine helped rats to enjoy the
    music of Miles Davis

    Obama’s administration funded a study to see whether or not rats’ enjoyment
    of the music of Miles Davis was increased when the rats were high on
    cocaine.

    38) Tried to outlaw family farms

    In April 2012, the Obama administration proposed new regulations which
    would prohibit farm children under 18 from working at grain elevators,
    silos, feed lots, stockyards, and livestock auctions, as well as from
    storing, marketing and transporting farm product raw materials. Critics
    claimed that this would prevent children from the common practice of
    working on their friends’ and relatives’ farms, and that farm children did
    not need “help” from a community organizer in Washington.

    39) Auctioned off ambassadorship to the Netherlands

    In April 2012, Obama nominated Timothy Broas, who had “bundled” more than
    $500,000 for Obama’s 2012 campaign, to be U.S. ambassador to the
    Netherlands.

    40) Claimed that written tests are a form of “racial discrimination”

    The Obama administration accused fire and police departments in
    Jacksonville, Florida, New York City, and Dayton, Ohio of “racial
    discrimination” because they required potential firefighters and police
    officers to take a written test. Ten real examples of these “racist”
    questions from the New York test can be read here.

    41) Made the TSA even more abusive and ridiculous than it had been under
    Bush

    The Obama administration gave a very invasive patdown to a three-year-old
    boy in a wheelchair, which caused the boy to tremble in fear. The Obama
    administration gave an aggressive patdown to a seven-year-old girl with
    cerebral palsy. The Obama administration said that a four-year-old girl was
    a “high security threat.” The Obama administration placed an 18-month-old
    girl on its no fly list. The Obama administration gave a patdown to Henry
    Kissinger. The Obama administration forced a 95-year-old cancer patient to
    remove her adult diaper and fly without it. The Obama administration ripped
    open the urostomy bag of a 61-year-old bladder cancer survivor, and forced
    him to fly covered in his own urine. The Obama administration harassed a
    sick 3-year-old boy, and caused him to miss his flight.

    42) Illegally demanded monetary payment for Freedom of Information Act
    request

    The Obama administration demanded that the Goldwater Institute pay
    $78,935.80 before it would share public records which it had requested
    under the Freedom of Information Act.

    43) Fined public school $15,000 for selling soda

    The Obama administration fined a high school $15,000 for selling soda to
    students during lunch.

    44) Conducted dangerous and illegal scientific experiments on sick people
    without always informing them of the risks

    In 2010 and 2011, the Obama administration conducted illegal scientific
    experiments which exposed people to dangerous levels of toxins. Some of
    these people had asthma and heart problems, and were exposed to levels of
    pollutants as high as 50 times what the EPA considers to be safe . The
    government did not always tell them about the risks of cancer and death.

    45) Closed the Vietnam Memorial for seven hours on Memorial Day so he could
    have his picture taken

    On Memorial Day 2012, Obama prevented Vietnam veterans and their friends
    and families from visiting the Vietnam Memorial for seven hours so he could
    have his picture taken.

    46) Had the government take 60.8% ownership of General Motors

    In July 2009, Obama had the government take 60.8% ownership of General
    Motors, and fired the CEO.

    47) Forced banks to give mortgages to people who could not afford to pay
    them back, and collected $23,000 in legal fees for himself for doing so

    While working as a “community organizer,” Obama filed lawsuits which forced
    banks to give mortgages to people with bad credit and low incomes. As a
    result, many of these people ended up defaulting on their mortgages. As
    their attorney, Obama collected $23,000 in legal fees for himself.

    Then in April 2013, during Obama’s second term as President, the Washington
    Post reported that President Obama was still pressuring banks “to make home
    loans to people with weaker credit.”

    48) Stole money from retired Delphi employees

    In 2009, Obama eliminated the pensions of 20,000 retired Delphi employees.

    49) Used taxpayer money to buy soda for $3.40 per can

    During Obama’s presidency, the federal government repeatedly purchased soda
    for a cost of $3.40 per can. Obama did not express any desire to switch to
    a cheaper seller, such as Costco, amazon.com, or Wal-Mart – or to an even
    still cheaper seller such as a wholesaler. Instead, Obama repeatedly forced
    taxpayers to pay these outrageous prices for soda.

    50) Paid $7 million per household to connect people to the internet

    Obama’s “stimulus” paid to connect some households in Montana to the
    internet, at a cost of $7 million per household.

    51) Had a double standard for Bain Capital

    Although Obama criticized Mitt Romney for his involvement with Bain
    Capital, Obama hired Jeff Zients, a former consultant at Bain (and who had
    an estimated personal wealth of $200 million) to be his budget director.

    52) Broke promise to teen campaign volunteers

    Obama had promised to his teen campaign volunteers that if they each spent
    nine hours going door to door on Obama’s behalf, he would invite them to
    attend his speech of September 6, 2012. However, after the teens did the
    volunteer work, Obama broke his promise. One of these volunteers, Madeline
    Frank, age 16, of Charlotte, North Carolina, said of this “I’ve been
    looking forward to this for a really long time. I am just feeling really
    let down and like bummed. It was kind of my dream to see him speak, so
    definitely really sad.”

    53) Falsely claimed to know more about Judaism than any other President

    Obama falsely claimed to know more about Judaism than any other President.

    54) Exempted wind farms from the penalties that other companies get for
    killing birds

    In May 2013, it was reported that Obama had fined oil and electric
    companies for illegally killing endangered birds, but that he had never
    fined wind power companies even though they had broken the exact same laws.

    55) Falsely claimed that he had never belonged to the New Party

    Obama falsely claimed that he had never belonged to the New Party, which is
    a third political party.

    56) Supported punishing students based on their race instead of on their
    behavior

    Obama expressed support for a proposal which would punish students based on
    their race instead of on their behavior.

    57) Used “off the books” funding for military interventionism

    In April 2009, antiwar activists who helped elect Obama accused him of
    using the same “off the books” funding as his predecessor George W. Bush
    when Obama requested an additional $83.4 billion from Congress for the wars
    in Iraq and Afghanistan – a provision which Obama had voted against when he
    was a Senator.

    58) Tried to silence criticism of auto-bailouts

    The Obama administration pressured Ford Motor Company to stop airing a TV
    ad that criticized Obama’s bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler.

    59) Dismissed charges of voter intimidation, despite video evidence

    In May 2009, the Obama administration dismissed charges that had been filed
    by the Bush administration against members of the New Black Panther Party
    who had been videotaped intimidating voters and brandishing a police-style
    baton at a Philadelphia polling station during the November 2008 election.
    In August 2009, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights demanded that the
    Justice Department explain why it dismissed the charges. In July 2010, J.
    Christian Adams, a former lawyer for the Justice Department, testified
    before the Commission on Civil Rights that the case was dropped because the
    Justice Department did not want to protect the civil rights of white people.

    60) Falsely claimed to support the second amendment

    Although Obama stated, “I have always believed that the Second Amendment
    protects the right of individuals to bear arms,” the National Rifle
    Association gave Obama a rating of ‘F’ based on his voting record.

    61) Nominated a communist who said 9-11 was an inside job

    In September 2009, Obama’s green czar Van Jones resigned after it was
    reported that he was a self described “communist” and had blamed George W.
    Bush for the September 11 attacks.

    62) Falsely said he would not raise taxes on the poor and middle class

    On September 12, 2008, Obama promised:

    “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than
    $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not
    your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”

    However, less than three months into his Presidency, he broke that promise
    when he raised the cigarette tax. Studies show that poor people are more
    likely to smoke than rich people.

    63) Falsely said he wanted to simplify the tax code, when he actually
    wanted to make it more complex

    Although Obama said that he wanted to simplify the tax code, his proposals
    would actually add thousands of pages to the tax code.

    64) Oversaw some of the world’s worst increases in corruption

    In December 2010, Transparency International reported that corruption was
    increasing faster in the U.S. than anywhere else except Cuba, Dominica, and
    Burkina Faso.

    65) Falsely said “This is the most transparent administration in history”

    In February 2013, Obama said, “This is the most transparent administration
    in history.”

    However, that same month, ABC News White House reporter Ann Compton, who
    covered Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, both Bushes, and Obama,
    said “The president’s day-to-day policy development… is almost totally
    opaque to the reporters trying to do a responsible job of covering it.
    There are no readouts from big meetings he has with people from the
    outside, and many of them aren’t even on his schedule. This is different
    from every president I covered. This White House goes to extreme lengths to
    keep the press away.”

    In July 2009, White House reporter Helen Thomas criticized the Obama
    administration for its lack of transparency.

    In October 2013, ABC News correspondent Ann Compton said that Obama was the
    “least transparent of the seven presidents I’ve covered in terms of how he
    does his daily business.”

    Also, this list contains a huge number of things that Obama has done which
    contradict his statement.

    66) Falsely claimed he would wait five days before signing bills

    Although Obama had promised to wait five days before signing all
    non-emergency bills, he broke that promise at least 10 times during his
    first three months in office.

    67) Falsely claimed “stimulus” spending would be transparent

    Although Obama had promised that the website recovery.gov would list all
    “stimulus” spending in detail, a 400 page report issued by the Government
    Accountability Office stated that only 25% of the projects listed on the
    website provided clear and complete information regarding their cost,
    schedule, purpose, location and status.

    68) Announced plans to send military to Australia

    In November 2011, Obama announced that he would send 2,500 Marines to
    Australia.

    69) Falsely promised to accept public campaign financing and spending limits

    During the 2008 campaign, Obama broke his promise to accept public campaign
    financing and the spending limits that came with it.

    70) Tried to silence video on YouTube

    In June 2011, Obama asked a Jewish singing group to remove its video from
    the internet.

    71) Rejected international help to clean up BP oil spill

    After the BP oil spill, Obama rejected offers of cleanup help from Canada,
    Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway,
    Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United
    Nations.

    72) Falsely said he opposed government waste, when he actually loves it

    On September 22, 2008, Obama said, “I am not a Democrat who believes that
    we can or should defend every government program just because it’s there…
    We will fire government managers who aren’t getting results, we will cut
    funding for programs that are wasting your money and we will use technology
    and lessons from the private sector to improve efficiency across every
    level of government… The only way we can do all this without leaving our
    children with an even larger debt is if Washington starts taking
    responsibility for every dime that it spends.” However, Citizens Against
    Government Waste gave Obama a 2007 rating of only 10%, and a lifetime
    rating of only 18%.

    73) Nominated past frequent user of illegal drugs to keep illegal drugs out
    of schools

    In September 2009, it was reported that Kevin Jennings, Obama’s Assistant
    Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, had written
    about Jenning’s own past frequent illegal drug use in his 2007
    autobiography.

    74) Avoids firing aides who owe back taxes

    In January 2012, it was reported that 36 Obama aides owed a combined total
    of $833,000 in back taxes.

    75) Used Abbott and Costello style economics as a basis for national policy

    In 2010, Obama gave $16.3 million to First Solar, a company that
    manufactures solar panels, so the company could sell solar panels to itself.

    76) Sent U.S. troops to Africa

    Obama sent U.S. troops to Uganda, Congo, South Sudan and the Central
    African Republic.

    77) Made secret plans for his second term

    In March 2012, when Obama was talking to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev
    and did not know that the microphone was turned on, Obama stated, “On all
    these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved
    but it’s important for him to give me space… This is my last election.
    After my election I have more flexibility.”

    78) Holds double standard for people who use crude and vulgar language
    toward women

    Concerned Women for America accused Obama of hypocrisy after Obama
    criticized Rush Limbaugh for using crude and vulgar language to describe
    Sandra Fluke, but Obama did not criticize Bill Maher (who had donated one
    million dollars to an Obama PAC) for using the same kind of crude and
    vulgar language to describe Sarah Palin.

    79) Illegally gave Obamacare exemptions to unions that supported the
    passage of Obamacare

    Obama gave some organizations an exemption from some of the requirements of
    Obamacare. Many of these organizations were unions that had supported the
    passage of Obamacare, but now wanted exemptions from the very same law that
    they wanted to force everyone else to obey. This reveals an extreme level
    of hypocrisy among many of the supporters of Obamacare.

    In addition, these exemptions are illegal, because the Constitution
    requires the law to treat everyone the same.

    The Washington Times wrote of this:

    “Selective enforcement of the law is the first sign of tyranny. A
    government empowered to determine arbitrarily who may operate outside the
    rule of law invariably embraces favoritism as friends, allies and those
    with the best-funded lobbyists are rewarded. Favoritism inevitably leads to
    corruption, and corruption invites extortion. Ultimately, the rule of law
    ceases to exist in any recognizable form, and what is left is tyranny.”

    “The now-familiar monthly trickling down of new waivers is, at best, a
    tacit admission that Obamacare is a failure. So far, seven entire states
    and 1,372 businesses, unions and other institutions have received waivers
    from the law. The list includes the administration’s friends and allies
    and, of course, those who have the best lobbyists.”

    “More than 50 percent of the Obamacare waiver beneficiaries are union
    members, which is striking because union members account for less than 12
    percent of the American work force. The same unions that provided more than
    $120 million to Democrats in the last two elections and, in many cases,
    openly campaigned in favor of the government takeover of your health care,
    now celebrate that Obamacare is not their problem.”

    80) Defended Bush administration’s unconstitutional, unwarranted use of GPS
    device

    In January 2012, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Bush
    administration for having put a GPS tracking device on someone’s car
    without having a warrant, the Obama administration opposed the court ruling

    81) Opposes newspapers reporting the news

    Obama spokesman Jay Carney criticized the Los Angeles Times for publishing
    photographs of U.S. soldiers posing with corpses in Afghanistan.

    82) Supported Bush administration for fining CBS for showing Janet
    Jackson’s breast

    Obama came out in favor of the FCC’s fining of the CBS TV network $550,000
    for showing Janet Jackson’s breast during the 2004 Super Bowl.

    83) Allowed campaign contributors to bring lobbyists into White House

    In April 2012, the New York Times reported, “Although Mr. Obama has made a
    point of not accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, a review of
    campaign donations and White House visitor logs shows that special
    interests have had little trouble making themselves heard. Many of the
    president’s biggest donors, while not lobbyists, took lobbyists with them
    to the White House…”

    84) Falsely said that criminal background checks constituted “racial
    discrimination”

    In 2012, the Obama administration accused Pepsico of “race discrimination”
    because it used criminal background checks to screen out job applicants.

    85) Was cited by nine states for committing 21 illegal acts

    Attorneys General from nine states issued a report, titled “A Report on
    Obama Administration Violations of Law,” which cited 21 illegal acts which
    had been committed by the Obama administration.

    86) Tried to seize hotel because some of its customers had used illegal
    drugs

    The Obama administration tried to seize a mom-and-pop bed-and-breakfast
    because some if its guests had used illegal drugs.

    87) Falsely said his campaign was not funded by large donors

    Although Obama has received many large campaign donations from corporate
    executives and Hollywood celebrities, his spokesperson said that his
    campaign was funded “not from huge donors at all.”

    88) Holds double standard for subsidizing solar power companies

    Although Obama gave taxpayer money to numerous American solar power
    companies, he placed a 30% tariff on solar panels imported from China,
    because he was against the Chinese government giving subsidies to its own
    companies.

    89) Tried to create an administration full of tax cheaters

    Obama nominated tax cheater Tom Daschle to be Secretary of Health and Human
    Services. After Daschle said he didn’t want the job, Obama then nominated
    tax cheater Kathleen Sebelius for the same position. Obama nominated tax
    cheater Nancy Killefer to be his administration’s Chief Performance
    Officer. Obama nominated tax cheater Hilda Solis to be the Secretary of
    Labor. Obama nominated tax cheater Ron Kirk be the White House Chief Trade
    Representative.

    90) Hired a Communications Director who admires a mass murderer

    Anita Dunn, Obama’s White House Communications Director, said that one of
    her favorite political philosophers was Mao Tse-tung, the Chinese dictator
    who murdered tens of millions of innocent civilians.

    91) Tried to replace science with political correctness

    In July 2010, Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA, said that Obama
    had told him that the primary purpose of NASA was “to reach out to the
    Muslim world.”

    92) Illegally made recess appointments when Congress was not in recess

    In January 2012, Obama violated the Constitution by making four recess
    appointments when Congress was not in recess. Recess appointments
    themselves are constitutional, but only if they are made when Congress is
    actually in recess.

    In January 2013, a federal appeals court ruled that Obama’s appointments
    had violated the Constitution.

    In May 2013, a second federal appeals court also ruled that Obama’s
    appointments had violated the Constitution.

    In July 2013, a third federal appeals court also ruled that Obama’s
    appointments had violated the Constitution.

    In June 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Obama’s appointments
    had violated the Constitution.

    93) Said the health insurance mandate was not a tax, but later told the
    Supreme Court that it was

    Before Obama’s health care reform was passed, he said that the mandate was
    not a tax. However, after it was passed, the Obama administration argued in
    front of the Supreme Court that the mandate really was a tax.

    94 ) Lied about being his “brother’s keeper”

    Although Barack Obama likes to cite the Bible phrase “We are our brother’s
    keeper,” when his real life poverty stricken brother George Obama needed
    $1,000 for health care bills, Barack Obama refused to pay it, so
    conservative author Dinesh D’Souza paid it.

    95) Punishes hospitals for saving the lives of patients with heart disease

    Obama’s health care reform contains a provision that reduces Medicare
    payments to hospitals with high 30-day readmission rates. Sunil Kripalani,
    MD, a professor with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said of this,
    “Among patients with heart failure, hospitals that have higher readmission
    rates actually have lower mortality rates. So, which would we rather have —
    a hospital readmission or a death?”

    96) Supports guns for himself and his wife, but opposes them for everyone
    else

    On January 10, 2013, President Obama signed a bill that provides armed
    guards to himself and his wife for the rest of the lives.

    However, in 2004, when Obama was an Illinois state Senator, he voted
    against allowing people in their own homes to use guns to protect
    themselves and their families from rapists and murderers.

    97) Falsely claimed that he “cut spending by over a trillion dollars in
    2011″

    On “Meet the Press” on December 30, 2012, Obama said:

    “I cut spending by over a trillion dollars in 2011″

    In reality, spending during that time period was not cut at all, and was
    actually increased by $147 billion.

    98) Practices environmental hypocrisy

    In May 2008, Obama said, “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we
    want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect
    that other countries are going to say OK.”

    However, just one week later, Obama was photographed exiting an SUV.

    In addition, Obama keeps the White House thermostat turned up so high that
    David Axelrod, Obama’s senior adviser, said, “He likes it warm. You could
    grow orchids in there.”

    Environmentalists criticized Obama for eating Wagyu beef, which was called
    “the Hummer of beef.”

    Obama had a chef fly round trip from St. Louis to Washington D.C. so he
    could make Obama’s favorite pizza.

    99) Pressured public schools to replace Catcher in the Rye with a book on
    window insulation

    The Huffington Post reported that Obama’s education policies

    “are increasingly worrying English-lovers and English teachers, who feel
    they must replace literary greats like The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the
    Rye with Common Core-suggested ‘exemplars,’ like the Environmental
    Protection Agency’s Recommended Levels of Insulation.”

    100) Approved giving 20 F-16 fighter jets to a Sharia dictatorship

    Obama approved giving 20 F-16 fighter jets to Egypt, which is a Sharia
    dictatorship.

    101) Falsely claimed that his “Cash for Clunkers” program would help the
    environment

    Although Obama claimed that his “Cash for Clunkers” program would help the
    environment, it actually caused net harm to the environment. Because the
    program required cars to be shredded instead of recycled, it wasted 24
    million barrels of oil. Many of the cars that were destroyed were in
    perfectly good condition. Because the program’s minimum requirement for
    so-called “fuel efficiency” was only 22 mpg, the reduction in pollution was
    negligible.

    102) Violated the very same campaign finance laws that he claims to support

    In January 2013, it was reported that Obama’s campaign had been fined
    $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance
    laws.

    103) Lied about how he had answered a questionnaire on gun control

    In 1996, when Obama was answering a questionnaire on his political views,
    one of the questions was “Do you support state legislation to: ban the
    manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?”

    Obama’s answer to the question was “Yes.”

    However, in 2008, Obama said “My writing wasn’t on that particular
    questionnaire.”

    However, ABC News later reported that the questionnaire “appears to have
    Obama’s handwriting.”

    104) Falsely claimed that his 2013 inauguration was not funded by lobbyists

    Although Obama claimed that his 2013 inauguration was not funded by
    lobbyists, its sponsors had actually spent $160 million on lobbying during
    Obama’s first presidential term.

    105) Encouraged medical device manufacturers to lay off employees

    In November 2012, it was reported that in response to the medical device
    tax that is part of Obamacare, some medical device manufacturers had
    announced plans to layoff employees, including Welch Allyn (275 planned
    layoffs), Stryker (1,170 planned layoffs), and Medtronic (1,000 planned
    layoffs).

    In December 2012, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, John Kerry, and 15 other
    Democrats who supported the passage of Obamacare wrote a letter to Harry
    Reid, asking him to delay the tax on medical devices, claiming that the tax
    would hurt job creation in their districts.

    In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare’s medical device tax had
    destroyed 14,000 jobs, and prevented an additional 19,000 new jobs from
    being created.

    106) Encouraged employers to switch their employees from full time to part
    time

    The New York Times reported that Obamacare

    “sharply penalizes full-time employment in favor of part-time employment.”

    In response to the employer mandate of Obamacare, some restaurants have
    announced plans to switch some of their employees from full time to part
    time, including some franchises of Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Wendy’s, Taco
    Bell, White Castle, and Fatburger.

    Community College of Allegheny County switched 200 professors and 200 other
    employees from full time to part time in response to Obamacare. Clint
    Benjamin, an English professor at Community College of Allegheny County,
    said that this would reduce his own monthly pay by $600.

    Also in response to the employer mandate of Obamacare, other colleges have
    announced plans to switch some of their employees from full time to part
    time, including Florida’s Palm Beach State College, Ohio’s Youngstown State
    University, and New Jersey’s Kean University.

    In Virginia, thousands of government employees had their hours reduced
    because of Obamacare.

    The Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh reduced the hours of 48 of its employees
    in response to Obamacare.

    Regal Entertainment Group, the largest chain of movie theaters in the
    country, announced that it would be switching thousands of its employees
    from full time to part time in response to the Obamacare mandate.

    Utah’s Granite School District reduced the hours of 1,200 of its employees
    in response to Obamacare.

    In response to Obamacare, many Wal-Mart stores have stopped hiring full
    time workers.

    In July 2013, leaders of the Teamsters, UFCW, and UNITE-HERE sent a letter
    to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi which said that Obamacare will

    “destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of
    the American middle class… the law creates an incentive for employers to
    keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have
    begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation.”

    In response to Obamacare, Forever 21 reduced its employees’ hours.

    As of September 2013, more than 200 public-sector employers had reduced
    their employees’ hours in response to Obamacare.

    Sea World reduced the weekly hours of its part time employees from 32 to 28
    in response to Obamacare.

    Lands’ End limited its part time employees to 29 hours per week in response
    to Obamacare.

    As of September 2013, at least 34 universities and colleges had reduced
    some of their employees’ hours in response to Obamacare.

    On October 23, 2013, Investor’s Business Daily wrote:

    IBD has a running list that now includes 351 employers that have opted to
    cut work hours below 30 per week or take related steps to limit liability
    under ObamaCare’s employer mandate. Each entry is documented with links to
    news sources and public records.

    About 275 entries on IBD’s list come from the public sector, including more
    than 100 school districts.

    107) Broke his promise to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first
    term

    On February 23, 2009, Obama said “Today, I’m pledging to cut the deficit we
    inherited in half by the end of my first term in office.” Obama broke that
    promise.

    108) Had Freedom of Information Act record worse than Bush’s

    In September 2012, it was reported that when it came to honoring requests
    under the Freedom of Information Act, Obama’s record was worse than that of
    George W. Bush.

    109) Supports installation of hidden cameras on private property without a
    search warrant

    In October 2012, Obama’s Justice Department argued in favor of installing
    hidden cameras on private property without a search warrant.

    110) Used “stimulus” money to pay people to play cards, board games, and
    video games

    In October 2012, it was reported that LG Chem, a lithium-ion battery plant
    in Holland, Michigan, was using money from Obama’s “stimulus” to pay its
    employees to play cards, board games, and video games.

    111) Spent half a million tax dollars on “Prom Week” video game

    In 2012, the Obama administration spent $516,000 on a video game called
    “Prom Week.”

    112) Hypocritically paid his female employees less than his male employees

    Although Obama claimed to support equal pay for men and women, his own
    administration paid its female employees 18% less than its male employees.

    113) Falsely said that Romney’s pension was bigger than his own

    During a debate in October 2012, Obama falsely stated that Mitt Romney’s
    pension was bigger than his own.

    114) Has a double standard for investing in China and the Cayman Islands

    Although Obama criticized Mitt Romney for having in

    “A M.D. Degree is the study of biomedical sciences according to the Duke
    University School of Medicine. In other words, a M.D. is a biology degree.
    Merriam-Webster defines biology as ‘a branch of knowledge that deals with
    living organisms and vital processes.’ Dr. Paul never said he had an
    undergraduate degree in biology, and it is accurate for him to say that he
    has a biology degree. You are making inferences from his statement that are
    unwarranted. It is common knowledge that the study of medicine is the study
    of human biology, and a MD has a doctorate degree in one area of study of
    the science of biology.” -Paul’s staff

    minor was in English Lit.
