We compare 44 President’s quotes in history to 45. This proves that Trump is inept, unqualified, unprepared, corrupt, incapable of the truth, without conscience, without honor, lacks empathy, and is truly what psychiatrists call a malignant narcissist. Our Democracy is shaking and if elected again, we and the World will be slaves to the rich and powerful. Dictatorship will follow. We will be publishing quotes from former Presidents every day for 44 straight days and compare them to 45, our current President YAHOO. We are on # 44 (forty-four).
One of the best!
Handsome couple!
Barack Hussein Obama II is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama was the first African-American president of the United States. He previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, he worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, where he was the first black person to head the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, he became a civil rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Turning to elective politics, he represented the 13th district from 1997 until 2004 in the Illinois Senate, when he ran for the U.S. Senate. Obama received national attention in 2004 with his March Senate primary win, his well-received July Democratic National Convention keynote address, and his landslide November election to the Senate. In 2008, he was nominated for president a year after his presidential campaign began, and after close primary campaigns against Hillary Clinton. Obama was elected over Republican John McCain and was inaugurated alongside Joe Biden on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, he was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Obama signed many landmark bills into law during his first two years in office. The main reforms that were passed include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as the “Affordable Care Act” or “Obamacare”), the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.
Barack Hussein Obama:
“My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.”
“We measure the strength of our economy not by the number of billionaires we have or the profits of the Fortune 500, but by whether someone with a good idea can take a risk and start a new business.”
“To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West-know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
“And so, to all other peoples and governments…from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and we are ready to lead once more.”
“(on America) It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom song; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores…the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. The audacity of hope!”
“They can say that this was the time when America learned to dream again.”
“It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share…There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion-that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.”
“We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes. This generation of soldiers…have served tour after tour of duty in distant, different and difficult places. They have stood watch in blinding deserts and on snowy mountains…They are man and woman; white, black and brown; of all faiths and stations-all Americans, serving together to protect our people, while giving others half a world away the chance to lead a better life.”
“(on Veterans Day) We mark this day as a celebration of those who made victory possible…Because they did, our country still stands; our founding principles still shine; nations around the world that once knew nothing but fear now know the blessings of freedom. That is why we fight-in hopes of a day when we no longer need to. And that is why we gather at these solemn remembrances and reminders of war-to recommit ourselves to the hard work of peace.”
