This book makes many claims every bit to this or that examination beingness a good way to tell if someone is a good president and Obama failed (according to the volume).

This book is non for those who value history.

This volume was poorly researched. Information technology read like a neverending blog, which used other blogs as "sources" . No seriously, the authors quoted right fly blogs as sources. I laughed outloud when I read their "proof" of Obama's narcissism. A few examples: He tweeted pictures of himself taken at historical sites, during historical events.

This volume was poorly researched. It read similar a neverending web log, which used other blogs every bit "sources" . No seriously, the authors quoted correct wing blogs equally sources. I laughed outloud when I read their "proof" of Obama's narcissism. A few examples: He tweeted pictures of himself taken at historical sites, during historical events. He sent his kids to individual school. He gave the Queen an IPOD . Then much of this book was obviously gaslighting and brainwashing the people who are desperate to make President Obama the scapegoat for the ills of their world. No argument was made, just parroting of the same former junk.
Mu dwelling house is host to books about Presidents such as Carter, Reagon,George Due west. Bush, Clinton and Nixon. This book could not be used every bit a book end for those valuable and critically books written by true researchers and lovers of history who care about historical FACTS ( annotation: facts remain the same no matter the politics of the writer).
My final notes
To the critical thinkers who value TRUTh, this blog/book is not for you.
For those who detest President Obama over truth, past all hateful enjoy.
To the authors: DO and Exist Better.

It'due south also a great reference for anyone who wants a rundown of everything that has transpired during this era of "Hope and Modify" that is (presently to exist "was") the Obama Regime. This book is important considering the media deliberately ignored nearly of the events that reflected negatively upon Obama, choosing to disappear those downwards the memory pigsty. If yous read Margolis & Noonan's book alongside other contempo political books written by the Left, the latter read like alternate histories from a parallel universe. Margolis & Noonan take the facts on their side, in a quick read that connects the dots from 2009 to the present and argues that Barack Obama is (presently to be "was" once he leaves office in 2017) the worst president in history. If yous notice, the media is working overtime on securing a legacy for Obama...and of course nosotros all know that for the rest of our lives the media will try to aggrandize Obama and make him into something special out of value-signaling. What students of history will be confronted with is the uncomfortable fact that the media has an emotional investment in claiming that Obama was great because he was biracial and his skin color is what is most important to them. Margolis & Noonan nowadays the facts of his presidency and detail all of the corruption, mistakes, arrogance, naiveté, deceit, hubris, machinations, and Alinsky dirty tricks that define this human being and his failed regime. The propagandists of the Left volition hate this. Academics will despise (and probably try to censor) these inconvenient truths. Only no honest and complete portrait of Obama can e'er be fatigued without the material that Margolis & Noonan artfully present. The text is an easy and quick read and is written in an accessible and conversational style that I establish refreshing when compared to other political works. I read the eBook version on my Kindle Fire in early July 2016; I finished the book in 2 days and recommend it to friends and colleagues. I programme on using it as a inquiry source in my own writing going forward, since it is such an fantabulous compilation of events in an easy-to-thumb-through format with extensive sourcing of primary and secondary reference materials. I could not recommend it more than highly. ...more than

It seems obvious that the book was not a favorable review of Obama's presidency. It doesn't need the cheap editorial commentary that seemed to back-trail every point.

Detailed and categorized

I was astounded by some of the events that occurred during this presidency. I was enlightened of the chief stream points, but the volume really laid it all down for me. I am truly disappointed in this President working more or less against our country, rather than in its all-time interest. For those who did not follow politics closely during this time frame, this book is well organized and detailed and not the dry out read one would assume.

2. Domestic Policy Flip-Bomb (five)
In 2006, then-Senator Obama chosen a proposal to raise the debt ceiling a "leadership failure" but, every bit President, Obama has requested multiple increases in the debt ceiling and unilateral ability to raise it at his whim.
In 2008, Obama campaigned on cutting the deficit in half; through his first term, Obama raised the annual arrears to a trillion dollars or more than per yr.
Obama say he would not employ lobbyists in the white house, but has, instead, giving many waivers to permit lobbyists to piece of work at that place.

3. No Wall Street or Banker Prosecutions
When he took function in 2009, he undoubtedly had a mandate to prosecute Wall Street Bankers responsible for the systemic fraud that contributed to the crisis. But there take been no arrests or prosecutions of any banker involved in the fiscal collapse. The criminal fraud was undeniable; yet, in 2012, Barack Obama defended the lack of prosecutions because "a lot of that stuff wasn't necessarily illegal, information technology was merely immoral or inappropriate or reckless."

4. Betraying the Victims of Hurricane Sandy
Staten Island victims were left behind after FEMA packed up and eft the surface area— a week later on Obama promised to help the affected areas, vowing "No hierarchy. No blood-red record." (8)

8. Skyrocketing College Costs
Under President Obama, the average cost of college tuition has increased by eight% across all types of Institutions, be they individual, public, ii-year or 4-yr schools. Despite campaigning on increasing admission to Pell Grants, Obama actually cut Pell Grants, which increased boilerplate college costs by an average of nearly $ane,000 per year per student. These increases in college costs were more than double the rate of inflation, and, combined with the pass up of family incomes, significantly increase the burden of obtaining a higher teaching on Obama's sentinel (12)

13. Releasing Criminal Illegal Aliens
Over 36,000 convicted criminal aliens awaiting deportation proceedings were released in 2013 By U.Southward. Immigration and Community Enforcement (ICE). According to a written report by the middle for immigration studies, many of the criminals released had been bedevilled of serious crimes, including a 193 homicides, 426 sexual assaults, 303 kidnappings, ane,075 aggravated assaults, and 15,635 DUIs. Other convicts released had been found guilty of robbery, arson, assault, sex activity offenses, larceny, and burglary. In add-on to the 36,000 waiting deportation proceedings, the Obama Assistants also caught and released 16000 criminal aliens in 2013 were put into deportation proceedings (19)

xv. Executive Immunity
Obama continued to make the case that he couldn't unilaterally alter immigration laws, insisting that it was a problem for Congress to solve. Yet, subsequently Congress failed to laissez passer immigration reform, Obama began to threaten to apply executive action to grant amnesty to illegals. Obama waited until after the 2014 midterms to formally appear another executive action on clearing. This time, he granted amnesty to as many every bit five million illegal immigrants. With the announcement, President Obama had truly stretches executive Authorisation beyond the breaking bespeak (21).

16. Mutual Core through Bribery
Since Common Cadre began replacing State educational activity standards in 2010, at that place'due south been enough of criticism from both correct and left leaning States about what is seen every bit a federal takeover of Education. The problems with the Mutual Core Curriculum and standards have become increasingly apparent and numerous. For example, Hunger Games is considered more circuitous literature than The Grapes of Wrath (23).

23. Climatic change Radicalism
Obama is representatives and appointees, including Secretary of State John Kerry, take repeatedly made the claim that climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism (33).
The Obama Administration has shifted funds in 10 different military improvements to climate change causes.
Without the approval of Congress, he entered the U.South. into an international climate change mitigation treaty in 2015. Such an activeness is illegal by the United states of america Constitution.

Personal Abuse
24. An Opaque Administration
Obama promised that he would post all bills online for v days prior to signing them, but managed to pause this promise 9 days afterward assuming office (36).

25. Excessive and Lavish Taxpayer-Funded Vacations
Past March 2015, Obama and his family had taken 38 vacations, according to one approximate. This, of course, does non include Obama'south hundreds of golf outings. George Westward Bush was an avid golfer but, past the end of his presidency, he'd but hit the links about a hundred times, most of which were in his first year in part. Obama is well over 300 (37).

28. Taxpayer dollars for Obama donors
Major corporations lobbying the American regime to donate at least $283 meg dollars to Obama's second inauguration (41).

34. The worst record with the Supreme Court
the Obama Assistants also filed an amicus brief supporting warrantless searches of jail cell phones of American citizens and Riley v. California— and lost. And U.S. five. Jones, Obama's justice department failed to convince the Supreme Court that the federal authorities doesn't need a warrant to secretly put GPS tracking devices on citizens cars for any reason (51).

There was no Congressional debate. No Congressional vote. No checks and balances. Information technology was another blatant corruption of executive power (53). These increases in the cost of labor are typically offset by having fewer employees and/or increasing prices for consumers.

41. Every bit early as 2010, it was reported that the Obama Administration was funnelling leftover money to various groups, some of which were clearly partisan, political groups allied with the Obama Assistants. Ex: Bank of America got $194 million dollars reduced from their penalty by altruistic $84 million to groups on Obama's approved nonprofit list

The Economy

42. Federal takeover of student loans
on March xxx, 2010, President Obama signed a law taking over the Student Loan plan from individual lenders. He did this nether the guise of Sid Gurney students from the predatory lending practice of issuing loans unfairly High interest rates and, in the short-term, this movement did lower student loan interest past ane or ii%. The reality of the situation, though, is that by federalizing educatee loans, the government, actually profits immensely from both interest on loans it makes directly to students, and defaults, all while shackling America's young people in the bonds of government dependency and blocking whatsoever hope for more Innovative methods of financing a higher caste. According to Alan khilenge, founder of studentloanjustice.org, " to say that the federal government at present sits atop the nearly predatory lending organization in our nation's history is non an understatement." (62)

Obama has given us the summit vi highest U.S. deficits in history: $i.4 trillion (FY2009), $1.3 trillion (FY2010), $1.3 trillion (FY2011), $1.1 trillion (FY2012), $680 billion (FY2013), and $483 billion (FY2014).

By November 2012, for each person who managed to detect a job in the Obama economy, 75 went on food stamps. On the day Obama took office, there were 31.94 million Americans participating in the food stamp plan. At the end of fiscal year 2015, there were 45.77 million— a 43% increase. Further aggravating the trouble is the cost of the plan, which is skyrocketed. In financial year 2008 the cost of the food stamp program was $37.6 billion dollars. Nether Obama, the costs have doubled, coming in at $73.98 billion in fiscal year 2015 after peaking at $79.87 billion in fiscal twelvemonth 2013. How did this happen? Obama'southward 2009 " Stimulus," which increased the benefits of the program and relaxed eligibility.

According to an analysis by Americans for tax reform, Obama's budget proposals for fiscal yr 2010 through fiscal year 2015 included a total 442 revenue enhancement increases! Even the left-wing fact-checking site PolitiFact had to concede that Obama's promise to cut taxes on the center class was not kept.

Obama decided, without any detect and with no political debate, to restore America relations with Cuba. In a secret bargain, Obama leverage to swap the states some Cuban spies in return for an imprisoned American Assist worker as an initial means of starting negotiations Cuba over normalization of relations (136). Despite Obama'southward desire to act unilaterally, much of American policy towards Cuba is codified and US law, such as the economical embargo, and dust can't be changed no matter how powerful Obama'due south pen and phone had become (137). And then, while Obama could not immediately modify all aspects of United states of america policies towards Cuba, he did whatever he could, including going out of his way to shake hands with Republic of cuba's dictator Raul Castro, and nixing Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Due to gross mismanagement, by January 2016, more than than half of Obamacare co-ops had failed, costing a quarter of a 1000000 Americans their insurance, and leaving the taxpayers $1.ii billion in unpaid loans (219).

160. Illegal Unilateral "Fixes" to Obamacare
When millions of Americans discover they were to lose to plants they had it would now have higher premiums a higher deductibles, it was clear that something had to be done in order to reduce the political Fallout. On November 14th, 2013, Obama and Houston insurance companies could continue to all the plans that violated the requirements of his Signature Healthcare police for an additional year (225). the original 1 year delay to allow consumers to keep existing healthcare plans that don't comply with Obamacare wasn't long enough to preclude cancellation notices be mailed out prior to the 2014 midterm elections. And then, in March 2014, Obama officials appear— without Congressional approving— that this provision of the law will be delayed for ii more years. Aside from the fact that all of these changes prove that Obamacare is incredibly flawed and was hastily passed and sign without proper test or consideration of his impact, the means by which Obama has insisted on " correcting" it's many flaws has been gross corruption is of a president'southward power (226).

169. Mass policy cancellations
"If you similar your healthcare plan, you lot will be able to continue your wellness intendance plan, catamenia." Obama repeatedly made this claim while making the case for ObamaCare. Unfortunately, Americans will learn, the hard way, that this promise was a lie, every bit millions of Americans find that their current wellness plans were not compliant with the law, and we're no longer available. By the end of February 2014, merely five months after the Obamacare rollout, 6.iii million people at already had their existing plans cancelled.

And the aftermath of the and so-called " Arab Jump," the Egyptian government fell under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group Committed to Violent action confronting both State of israel and the United States. when a revolution dorsum by an overwhelming number of Egyptian people overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood regime Obama moved to cut Aid to Egypt (252).

In April 2013, defense secretary Chuck Hagel and Secretary of Country John Kerry were all saying that they used chemical weapons, and Obama's cherry-red line has been crossed (272). finally, the White House acknowledged the use of chemic weapons by the Assad regime in diverse sites outside Damascus on Baronial 21st, 2013, a year and one day after Obama's Red Line spoken communication, killing more than than ane,400 people.
In the stop, and to the detriment of America prestige in military might, Russia cancel Obama'south rescue and brokered a bargain which got Obama off the hook for armed forces action in return for a promise by Syria to surrender their chemical weapons (274). Of course, the deal, itself, was a humiliation for the Usa. Obama's ruddy line was crossed with no action from the states; Russian federation got a mass of increasing influence as they got their Ally, aside, out of a tight spot. Only the Assad regime failed to honor the agreement, as the first borderline for the surrender of the stockpile of chemical weapons was not met. In Feb 2014, Obama'south on Secretary of State, John Kerry, admitted that Obama'south Syria policy was a failure

People that are not blind followers can usually proper name a half dozen or more of the biggest failures and blunders without having to even breath. Merely you can give your brain a rest because in The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama by Matt Margolis the author has washed the research for you and cataloged them hither. Whether its the Fast and Furious gun running debacle, the IRS partisan handling of conservative requests for taxation exempt condition, the Islamic republic of iran Nuclear Deal, the Solyndra coin grab past his supporters, the Cash for Clunkers failure, the Clinton deal with Russia giving them command of 20 percent of America's uranium in exchange for huge donations to the Clinton Foundation, and I could go on. But, again, I don't have to and neither practice you as the author has collected them all in this book along with the facts that back upward his assertions that are all very well documented. When Obama was elected, people expected that racial divisions would now exist a thing of the past. Just that turned out to be totally wrong equally race relations are much worse after his term in office than before. Continue your health care plan and keep your md if y'all're happy with them turned out to be i behemothic bait and switch as people were generally not able to do either and saw their premiums double in many cases while government took over a huge segment of the US economic system. I'm getting tired of using the expression "it'south like watching how sausage is fabricated" but it certainly applies to the Obama administration. You will want to read this again and again! I would venture a guess that a lot of the one star reviewers (acolytes?) accept not even read the book. ...more

This was an eye-opening expose'. The details Margolis presented about the actions of Obama are incredible. I can't meet why he was non impeached -- or further, charged with treason! The impairment he did to the State will take years to repair, unless the Democrats lose their "no cooperation" attitude and become back to the business of doing the job they were elected to exercise past the Constitution.

This book is definitely worth your fourth dimension. In the "doomsday clock" of accented totalitarianism this book shows that the hands have jumped from four:30 PM to 11:xxx.

Obama continues to use the mainstream media to lie and cheat his manner into unearned credit. While the Netflix propaganda vehicle invades the gestalt, this book is an essential reality reminder. This evil human is but a affiche boy for the socialist machine. But the information in this book exposes the strategy and tactics that our ain socialist fifth column is employing. Nearly 120 of the 200 reasons to fear/hate Obama can be directly attributed to Trudeau, Notley, Wynne et al. This book presents a window on our futurity in Canada and should be required reading for anyone still trying to understand why we are in this mess of "politically correct" social engineering. This book shows that the new world of politics is not organic but is an agenda planned and implemented by power mad totalitarians. The longer nosotros allow this to continue to less liberty will exist left to future generations.
The book is easy to read. Don't expect a story to unfold but rather a serial of 200 factual, short news items. They are assembled into relatively coherent and separate issues and tin can serve as reference subjects. But in my opinion, it is worth while to read it through equally presented. I would have liked to see an appendage list of all the reasons, and I would wish for an updated version that includes Obama'due south malfeasance with the Clinton campaign. But in it's context to 2015 it is an fantabulous presentation.

I wish I could dismiss this book equally simple-minded difficult-right propaganda merely I lived through it then I remembered well-nigh 99% of the events described past author Margolis.

My first taste of Obamacare was when the price of my son's annual checkup went from a $l-deductible to $682.42 and I establish that "If y'all like your health plan, you can go on your wellness programme" was imitation.

When Obama said, "2- percent real Gross domestic product growth is the new normal for the U.S. economic system", I said to myself that this guy is mode worse than Jimmy Carter ever was.

Only by far, Obama's strange policy (Benghazi, Bergdahl, Gitmo, Manning, JCPOA etc) fabricated the average thinking American wonder if Obama was more than in favor of helping Global Islamic Terror proliferate than helping everyday Americans amend their lives. I have ever felt that Obama'south random and indecipherable foreign policy fabricated the earth less rubber.

No signal in expanding on more ways Obama failed the American people--political correctness gone wild, public restroom madness, racial division, soaring debt, declining economic system, deflated military, crony capitalism, scandal later scandal, mollycoddling Iran, proliferator of radical Islamic terror etc. The volume is chock full of verifiable facts and references. Give it a read and decide for yourself.

The divisiveness and negativity of his governing mode was bad enough, just his egocentrism too led to a myopic sequence of terrible domestic policy choices driven by ideology over pragmatism." — 1 likes
