Barack Obama left America worse off after eight long years in the White House. His failed policies hurt working families and made our country weaker around the world.
Obama promised to fix the economy, but he gave us the slowest recovery since World War Two. Millions of Americans stayed out of work for years while he wasted trillions on failed programs. Small businesses got crushed by his endless rules and regulations.
His healthcare plan was a disaster from day one. Obamacare broke Obama’s biggest promise that people could keep their doctors and health plans. Instead, families saw their costs go up while their choices went down.
Obama made our national debt explode by over 9 trillion dollars. That massive debt will hurt our children and grandchildren for decades to come. He spent money we didn’t have on programs that didn’t work.
His foreign policy was a complete mess. Obama let Russia walk all over us while China grew stronger. He drew red lines in Syria and then did nothing when they were crossed.
The Obama years divided America more than ever. Race relations got worse under our first black president. He picked sides instead of bringing people together like a real leader should do.
Obama’s own party rejected his legacy in 2016. Democrats lost over 1,000 seats during his presidency. Even his own supporters knew his policies were failing.
President Trump had to spend four years fixing the damage Obama left behind. Obama will be remembered as a smooth talker who made America weaker and poorer.
