Why Barrack Obama Should BE Regarded As The Most Incompetent
President America Has Ever Had
- He is leaving The World Worse Than It Was Before He Emerged President
When the USA slapped sanctions and severed ties with Cuba in
the 1960s, the then Cuban president Fidel Castro is widely quoted to have said that
‘’the Americans will come back and talk to us when that country gets a black
president and the world gets a pope from a Latin American country’’
Now 50 years down the road Castro’s prophetic phrase came to
pass as an African in the names of Hussein barrack Obama managed, against all
odds, to emerge as the president of the United States of America not once but twice,
while a pope from Argentina, a Latin American country, indeed emerged at the helm of the Vatican.
And Castro was accurate in his historic prediction as the American
government has restored ties with Cuba for the first time in over 50 years.
Of course you need to credit Obama for having overseen the normalization
of the ever-frosty America-Cuba relations.
THE TURN DOWN
But it’s also worth noting that he has not lived to the hype
that greeted him when he emerged as the first Black-man to rule the world’s
super power in 2008.
Obama’s ascendency to the helm of the world’s super power
nation was particularly greeted with a lot of enthusiasm around the world and
everyone who is everyone expected a resurgent renewal to global politics in
terms of issues concerning governance, socio economic and political aspects of
the globe.
The black Africans were particularly overjoyed that one of
their own had come to end the open persecution that they suffered in their
country starting with slavery and the oppressive and racist Jim Crow laws that oppressed
the black Afro-Americans.
Today the black Afro-Americans are still suffering worse than
it was before Obama emerged president. Just the other day a video went viral of
a white policeman harshly forcing a black woman out of her car. She was
detained for an unknown offense and she later died in prison. This incident
took place just one week ago.
The Fergusson incident where a white policeman shot an innocent
black American sparking a wave of widespread demonstrations is also as recent
as six months ago.
And all this takes as Obama issues no new guidelines to save
members of his race from open persecution. Get me right am not saying that Obama
was elected to exclusively fight for the rights of the black Americans. I also
know that he was elected by both whites and blacks across America.
What am saying is that he has failed to resolves issues that
had been resolved by his predecessors.
For instance Abraham Lincoln managed to end slavery even
when he was white. Why has Obama failed to deal with racism in America?
Today The World Has
More Conflicts
Before he assumed power, there was widespread expectations
that the world would get better with fewer wars than the ones that were fanned
by president George Bush Junior. But look what has happened to the world during
his reign?
He promised never to
take America to war without the consent of the congress but he sent drones to Afghanistan
without anybody’s permission and they killed many innocent Afghans. He promised
to close Guantanamo bay but it’s still operating as ruthlessly as ever.
He promised to resurrect the American economy which had
suffered due to the costly war in Iraq, but the economy plunged into an immediate
credit crunch during his reign.
Yes it’s true that he found America at war in Iraqi and
promised to redeem its image, but he is leaving a devastated and war tone Iraq governed
by ISIS, a radical group that has even beheaded American citizens without
facing any consequences.
With one and half years to go on his second term, Obama is
leaving the world worse off than he found it, with America losing grip as a
super power to emerging global forces like china.
Obama Betrayed Africa
As I penned this article, American president Barrack Obama
was about to touch down in the Kenyan capital Nairobi to attend the global entrepreneurship
conference.
The widely pronounced visit has, however, not generated as
much enthusiasm as the one that greeted his ascent to power some eight years
ago.
Being an African born president has instead worked against the
Africans as Obama has made sure that he distances himself from Africa as much
as possible.
He found productive initiatives that had been started by his
predecessors like AGOA, but he has spent two terms in office without mentioning
a word about it.
I read a post by an American lady called Rose Whittaker sounding
optimistic that the AGOA initiative was about to be renewed.
But look here, the AGOA initiative was hatched in 1996 and
signed into action in 2000 to provide Africans with a tariff free access to the
American market.
It worked well under presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush
but why did it suffer a glaring setback during the reign of an African born president
Obama?
Was this because Obama
was struggling to prove that he was not elected to serve the interests of his
mother continent?
Even his belated visit to Kenya is out of shame rather than
out of total conviction.
He had told Kenyans not to vote for president Uhuuru Kenyatta
because if the ICC indictment. Why has he changed his mind?
He found Africa in peace and has left it in tatters. For instance
when the Arab spring broke up in the north Africa he made one of the biggest
blunders of his time in the white house in regard to African policy when he
agitated for anarchy rather than dialogue.
\how did he do that?
When the Egyptians assembled at Tahiirir square to
demonstrate against the then president Hosni Mubarak, there was a chance for a
peaceful transition because Mubarak’s term was due to end in September, six
months after the revolts took place in February.
Mubarak had indeed
promised that he would not seek for another term but would handover peacefully
to another leader. But Obama walked to the podium and told Mubarak to step
down. What followed was the chaotic spell that destabilized Egypt.
And when it came to Libya, the late Col Muamar Ghadafi had
offered to talk peace, but Obama, under the cover of NATO sent war planes that
bombed Libya to rabbles.
Today Obama who refused to listen to the African union at
that time is bragging about being the first American president to meet the African
union.
Today there are conflicts in south Sudan, Central African
Republic, Libya, and Burundi while Zimbabwe is in downward spiral, and Obama has
got no opinion about them.
No Single Personal Initiative
At a small scale level we have seen American presidents
sponsor and get involved in schemes to redeem the developing world. They initiated
schemes like the millennium goals under the auspices of the \UN.
But Obama has spent two terms without mentioning anything to
do with the MDGS.
His predecessors like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George
Bush all have foundations in African countries to help the poor get access to
health and education but Obama has none!
Even the schools which were started under his name like Senator
Barrack Obama Secondary School in Kogelo , western Kenya has been neglected to
an extent that the children of that school have no shoes and suffer from
jiggers!.
It’s obvious that Barrack Obama is the most incompetent American
president the USA has ever had.
He lacks a sense of perspective and managed to con the world
with his oratory skills. He qualifies more as an emcee than a president.
I rest my case with the hope that you, the reader who has
read this far, internalizes these facts as objective issues raised to let you
understand the reign of our incompetent brother.
