Obama, the Mistake We Keep Paying For
(00:01.38)
Barack Obama, the mistake we keep paying for. That was actually a line from the movie, The Natural, where Roy Hobbs is in bed dealing with dealing with his wounds from years and years and years ago. And he’s asked, you know, you know, what’s the matter? What happened? Why are you sick? And he, he said, that’s, you know, some mistakes you never stop paying for.
regards to that, what, that Pazza Putana on the train from the movie, The Natural, if you remember the movie at all. But anyway, neither here nor there. Barack Obama, the mistake we keep paying for. I wrote a piece years ago, I talking about consequential presidents. And at the time I was talking about LBJ and his great society programs and the absolute
havoc that they have wrecked on our economy, what it what they’ve done to our economy in so many ways, the policies that were put forward, the 1960s, I mean, they were awful, awful breaking up the family, higher cost of houses, higher costs, and you could go right on down the list one disaster after another. My, why do I single out Barack
Obama, it’s past week, we spent some time talking about health insurance and where we’re at. again, it’s the signature Barack Obama bill, Obamacare.
Obamacare. You think about what he was able to do this Affordable Care Act and what it’s done to insurance here in this country. And you know, again, you watch this, the funny thing is you got all these left this freaking out and yelling and screaming about insurance companies. And again, they’re so stupid. They have no understanding of why our health care is such a mess at this point in time. It was actually
(02:16.964)
I just kind of happy. saw Vivek yesterday actually put out a statement talking about insurance and pricing and risk. The reality is, that, you know, high deductible policies, they don’t even exist anymore. That’s what I used to have prior to Obamacare. High deductible insurance, catastrophic insurance was what insurance is supposed to be. Catastrophic. Case, bad stuff.
happens coupled with health savings accounts, they’re Gone because of the Affordable Care Act. And again, they’re leading the way to single payer. That’s direction we’re heading in. Go back to the early stages of the Obama years. The first two years where Barack Obama really, really got a lot done on the domestic front. You got the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Consumer Protection Act.
disaster. He basically cut a deal with the big banks. Now they’re too big to fail. Cut out all the other competitions. Great, great for big banks. know, basically, you know, as far as domestic policies, I mean, that was all done his first two years. First thing you remember was a wave Republican election in 2010. Even though Barack Obama kicked the crap out of Mitt Romney, because Mitt Romney,
afraid of his own shadow. He didn’t really get anything done in the second term outside of signing the stupid Paris climate accord, but he didn’t go away. He didn’t go away. He made his return with Joe Biden. And in fact, you know, he, he got more accomplished under Joe Biden, quite frankly, than he did during his own presidency. Now,
We all knew back in 2020 that Joe, well, Joe basically got stalled, quite frankly. It was a deal that was cut. They basically wiped the board, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg and anybody who was competing with them, they said, is, we’ll put Joe Biden in and again, Barack Obama will run the show behind the scenes. And that’s what happened. You gotta think about…
(04:40.16)
Joe Biden and his first 100 days, his first two days, he signed 17 executive orders, including rejoining the Paris climate agreement, ending the state of emergency with the border with Mexico, rejoining the World Health Organization, face mask requirements on federal property, all sorts of other, yeah, got rid of the Keystone XL pipeline.
But I mean, let’s go through, shall we? March 11th. March 11th, first anniversary of COVID being declared a global pandemic, the American Rescue Plan, almost $2 trillion of nonsensical spending and regulations that we railed against here on the program. Again, this is all, quite frankly, this is all Obama’s doing.
I can go through some of the other things, obviously, we’ve talked about here on the program. The Infrastructure Investment in Jobs Act.
Yeah, that’s that’s what it was. Chips and Science Act Inflation Reduction Act, which had nothing to do with inflation whatsoever. Again, we were told that inflation was transitory. This was all Obama’s doing. You do understand that, right?
Again, Barack Obama made a couple of speeches there railing against all of the racists here in this country recently that voted for Donald Trump, seemingly very angry. I I guess he enjoyed the power that he had. Why wouldn’t he? I mean, you could operate behind the scenes there and do whatever you want. You pull in all the strings without any of the consequences. You can hang out in Hawaii. You could be, where’s his house son? Martha’s Vineyard and run.
(06:41.036)
The country. I’m here to tell you folks, again, I’m very excited about business moving forward. I’m excited about the regulations hopefully that are gonna go away, what Vivek and Elon are going to do. But if you think that this is smooth sailing moving forward, you’ve got another thing coming. There is a lot. There is a.
massive mess that needs to be cleaned up. A lot of these laws and regulations are going to be very, very difficult to get rid of much of this nonsense. And again, it is fundamentally changed the country. Health care has been fundamentally changed. Many businesses here in this country fundamentally changed by the overreach of government and tying into government. None of this is good.
and it’s going to take some time to get rid of it. Again, you’re gonna hear it, you’re gonna be hearing it in the news, this is not getting done, this is not getting accomplished, inflation remains high, how come Trump hasn’t done anything about it? They know exactly, exactly what they’re doing. It’s gonna be a massive means of attack and hopefully, Americans are gonna be hip to their nonsense and have woken up to some degree. But to think that all of the,
All the mess that has been created for years, the consequence of Barack Obama is gonna go away in a short period of time. It’s just not gonna happen. And the funny thing is, and I’ll leave you with this, saw this one coming. I saw this one coming. I know I’ve talked about this here on the podcast in the past when he was debating Hillary Clinton.
When he was debating Hillary Clinton and he basically said that he wanted to raise taxes, not because it was going to increase revenue to the treasury, but because of fairness. You knew you had a true believer. When I’m talking true believer, you’re talking, there are people there, they wear their flag lapels, but they are true believers in collectivism.
(09:07.78)
What’s this? What’s what is her name again? It’ll come to me a second. She worked for the Obama. I need it done. I Mean she she had a problem. I remember her giving a speech Basically saying Mount say tongue is one of her heroes as Far as politics is concerned. You’ve done any history about the the amount of the you know, guy’s body count
Work for the Obama administration. And what was the press secretary for a period of time? I forget his name. I remember they’re doing an interview with him. One of the fuddy duddy Washington DC papers. His name will come to me. All over his house was communist posters and propaganda artwork. These people are true believers. We voted for them. Not me, but enough people did.
And again, some stakes we keep paying for and hopefully at some point in time we can clean this mess up. Watchdogonwallstreet.com.
