It was mostly a hitting piece and the few items I spot checked for voracity failed horrible. But so information technology occurred to me to read the book as a blueprint for one way to measure a president. So I compared 8 years of Obama (as depicted in this book), to how Trump has done after one yr. Trump did not fair well. This book makes many claims as to this or that test existence a proficient manner to tell if someone is a skillful president and Obama failed (according to the volume). Judging Trump by the same scale... guess what he fails besides, sometimes spectacularly worse. I can't claim the couple 100 claims are a good gauge of a president, they may be more an indictment of the current political scene here in america (partisanship, brinkmanship etc). ...more

The Worst Book in History:

The legacy of Matt & Marker will never come to fruition. They are nothing more than than tabloid chasers that will die miserable and lonely.

This book is not for those who value history.

This book was poorly researched. It read like a neverending blog, which used other blogs as "sources" . No seriously, the authors quoted correct wing 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.

So much of this book was obviously gaslighting and brainwashing the people who are drastic to make President Obama the scapegoat for the ills of their world. No argument was made, just parroting of the same old junk.
Mu home 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 stop for those valuable and critically books written past true researchers and lovers of history who care almost historical FACTS ( notation: facts remain the aforementioned no matter the politics of the author).
My terminal notes
To the critical thinkers who value TRUTh, this weblog/volume is not for you.
For those who detest President Obama over truth, by all mean savour.
To the authors: Practise and Be Amend.

It's also a great reference for anyone who wants a rundown of everything that has transpired during this era of "Hope and Alter" that is (soon to exist "was") the Obama Regime. This book is important because the media deliberately ignored most of the events that reflected negatively upon Obama, choosing to disappear those down the retention hole. If you lot read Margolis & Noonan's book alongside other recent political books written by the Left, the latter read like alternate histories from a parallel universe. Margolis & Noonan have the facts on their side, in a quick read that connects the dots from 2009 to the present and argues that Barack Obama is (soon to be "was" once he leaves office in 2017) the worst president in history. If you detect, the media is working overtime on securing a legacy for Obama...and of form nosotros all know that for the balance of our lives the media will try to aggrandize Obama and brand 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 pare color is what is most important to them. Margolis & Noonan present the facts of his presidency and particular all of the corruption, mistakes, airs, naiveté, deceit, hubris, machinations, and Alinsky dirty tricks that ascertain this man and his failed regime. The propagandists of the Left will hate this. Academics volition despise (and probably effort to censor) these inconvenient truths. But no honest and complete portrait of Obama can ever be drawn without the fabric that Margolis & Noonan artfully nowadays. The text is an easy and quick read and is written in an attainable and conversational style that I found refreshing when compared to other political works. I read the eBook version on my Kindle Fire in early on July 2016; I finished the book in 2 days and recommend it to friends and colleagues. I plan on using it as a research source in my own writing going frontwards, since it is such an excellent compilation of events in an like shooting fish in a barrel-to-thumb-through format with extensive sourcing of primary and secondary reference materials. I could not recommend it more highly. ...more

I practically got whiplash from all of the head shaking throughout the unabridged book. Some of the virtually headshaking moments: Obama insulting England who has shed claret for our country, threatening Russia and so beingness embarrassed when Russia called his barefaced, and the apology bout.

While it is easy to arraign Hillary for President Trump, the truth is 8 years of being an Obamanation is why Trump was elected. This book explains the debacle that was Obama's authorities which caused the U.S.to become sick of politicians.

Detailed and categorized

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

3. No Wall Street or Banker Prosecutions
When he took office in 2009, he undoubtedly had a mandate to prosecute Wall Street Bankers responsible for the systemic fraud that contributed to the crunch. But at that place accept been no arrests or prosecutions of whatsoever banker involved in the fiscal collapse. The criminal fraud was undeniable; notwithstanding, in 2012, Barack Obama defended the lack of prosecutions considering "a lot of that stuff wasn't necessarily illegal, it was merely immoral or inappropriate or reckless."

iv. Betraying the Victims of Hurricane Sandy
Staten Island victims were left behind afterward FEMA packed up and eft the area— a calendar week later on Obama promised to help the affected areas, vowing "No bureaucracy. No cerise tape." (8)

eight. Skyrocketing College Costs
Under President Obama, the average cost of college tuition has increased past 8% across all types of Institutions, be they private, public, 2-yr or iv-year schools. Despite campaigning on increasing access to Pell Grants, Obama actually cut Pell Grants, which increased boilerplate higher costs by an average of nigh $ane,000 per year per pupil. These increases in higher costs were more than than double the charge per unit of inflation, and, combined with the turn down of family incomes, significantly increase the brunt of obtaining a higher education on Obama's lookout man (12)

xiii. Releasing Criminal Illegal Aliens
Over 36,000 convicted criminal aliens awaiting deportation proceedings were released in 2013 By U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to a report by the middle for clearing studies, many of the criminals released had been convicted of serious crimes, including a 193 homicides, 426 sexual assaults, 303 kidnappings, 1,075 aggravated assaults, and 15,635 DUIs. Other convicts released had been found guilty of robbery, arson, assail, sex offenses, larceny, and burglary. In addition to the 36,000 waiting deportation proceedings, the Obama Administration also caught and released 16000 criminal aliens in 2013 were put into deportation proceedings (xix)

15. Executive Amnesty
Obama continued to brand the case that he couldn't unilaterally change clearing laws, insisting that it was a problem for Congress to solve. Even so, afterward Congress failed to pass immigration reform, Obama began to threaten to apply executive action to grant amnesty to illegals. Obama waited until after the 2014 midterms to formally announced another executive activeness on immigration. This time, he granted immunity to equally many as five million illegal immigrants. With the annunciation, President Obama had truly stretches executive Potency across the breaking point (21).

sixteen. Common Core through Bribery
Since Common Core began replacing State education standards in 2010, in that location'southward been plenty of criticism from both right and left leaning States nearly what is seen as a federal takeover of Education. The problems with the Mutual Core Curriculum and standards have go increasingly apparent and numerous. For example, Hunger Games is considered more complex literature than The Grapes of Wrath (23).

23. Climate Change Radicalism

The Obama Assistants has shifted funds in x different military improvements to climate change causes.
Without the approval of Congress, he entered the U.S. into an international climatic change mitigation treaty in 2015. Such an activity is illegal by the Usa Constitution.

Personal Corruption
24. An Opaque Administration
Obama promised that he would postal service all bills online for five days prior to signing them, only managed to break this promise 9 days afterwards assuming office (36).

25. Excessive and Lavish Taxpayer-Funded Vacations
By March 2015, Obama and his family had taken 38 vacations, according to one estimate. This, of course, does not include Obama'due south hundreds of golf outings. George Westward Bush was an avid golfer but, by the finish of his presidency, he'd only hit the links most a hundred times, nearly of which were in his commencement year in office. Obama is well over 300 (37).

28. Taxpayer dollars for Obama donors
Major corporations lobbying the American government to donate at least $283 million dollars to Obama's 2nd inauguration (41).

34. The worst record with the Supreme Court
the Obama Administration besides filed an amicus brief supporting warrantless searches of cell phones of American citizens and Riley 5. California— and lost. And U.S. v. Jones, Obama's justice section failed to convince the Supreme Court that the federal government doesn't need a warrant to secretly put GPS tracking devices on citizens cars for any reason (51).

36. In March 2014, President Obama unilaterally changed the regulations in the fair labor standards Act of 1938 to movement equally many every bit ten million " executive and professional" employees into a category which requires their employers to pay them overtime for working more than than a sure number of hours per week. There was no Congressional debate. No Congressional vote. No checks and balances. It was another blatant abuse of executive power (53). These increases in the cost of labor are typically kickoff by having fewer employees and/or increasing prices for consumers.

41. As early every bit 2010, it was reported that the Obama Administration was funnelling leftover coin to various groups, some of which were clearly partisan, political groups allied with the Obama Assistants. Ex: Banking concern of America got $194 one thousand thousand dollars reduced from their penalisation past donating $84 1000000 to groups on Obama's canonical nonprofit list

The Economy

42. Federal takeover of student loans
on March 30, 2010, President Obama signed a police taking over the Student Loan program from private lenders. He did this under the guise of Sid Gurney students from the predatory lending practice of issuing loans unfairly High involvement rates and, in the short-term, this movement did lower student loan involvement by 1 or 2%. The reality of the situation, though, is that by federalizing student loans, the government, actually profits immensely from both interest on loans information technology 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 college caste. According to Alan khilenge, founder of studentloanjustice.org, " to say that the federal authorities now sits atop the most predatory lending system in our nation'southward history is not an understatement." (62)

Obama has given us the acme 6 highest U.South. deficits in history: $1.4 trillion (FY2009), $ane.3 trillion (FY2010), $ane.3 trillion (FY2011), $i.one trillion (FY2012), $680 billion (FY2013), and $483 billion (FY2014). Obama's beginning deficit was more triple George W. Bush-league's largest arrears of $455 billion in FY2008. When adjusted for aggrandizement, Obama's deficits (2009-2015) are the seven highest deficits in history, surpassing even the spending of World War Two (67).

47. More Debt than all by presidents...Combined
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama called President George W bush-league unpatriotic and are responsible for calculation $iv trillion dollars to national debt during his two-year term. Yet, under Obama, the national debt past $xix trillion dollars on Feb 1st 2016 (68).

By November 2012, for each person who managed to find a task in the Obama economy, 75 went on food stamps. On the day Obama took role, at that place were 31.94 one thousand thousand Americans participating in the food postage program. At the end of fiscal year 2015, there were 45.77 one thousand thousand— a 43% increment. Further aggravating the problem is the cost of the program, which is skyrocketed. In fiscal year 2008 the toll of the food postage program was $37.six billion dollars. Under Obama, the costs have doubled, coming in at $73.98 billion in fiscal twelvemonth 2015 after peaking at $79.87 billion in fiscal year 2013. How did this happen? Obama's 2009 " Stimulus," which increased the benefits of the program and relaxed eligibility.

52. The Disability President
Nether Obama, social security disability claims take been rising at a four.five% annual rate, even though the incidences of workplace injuries have been declining for many years now (72).

59. Turn down of Entrepreneurship
Small businesses were forced to freeze hiring, cut jobs, even calibration-back growth considering of Obamacare, and Obama's Fiscal regulations of dried upwardly startup uppercase. His policies have been killing America's entrepreneurs..

At present your income tax, now your payroll tax, not your uppercase gains taxes, not whatever of your taxes." Co-ordinate to an analysis by Americans for tax reform, Obama's upkeep proposals for fiscal year 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 hope to cut taxes on the heart class was non kept.

Obama decided, without whatsoever notice and with no political contend, to restore America relations with Cuba. In a secret deal, Obama leverage to bandy us some Cuban spies in return for an imprisoned American Aid worker as an initial means of starting negotiations Cuba over normalization of relations (136). Despite Obama's want to act unilaterally, much of American policy towards Republic of cuba is codified and Us police force, such equally the economical embargo, and grit can't be changed no matter how powerful Obama's pen and telephone had go (137). So, while Obama could not immediately modify all aspects of United states policies towards Cuba, he did whatever he could, including going out of his way to shake easily with Cuba'south dictator Raul Castro, and nixing Republic of cuba from the U.Southward. list of state sponsors of terrorism. Obama justify his conclusion by saying that Cuba had not provide whatever support to terrorists in the prior vi months, and he too guarantee that Cuba would not support terrorism in the hereafter.

When millions of Americans find they were to lose to plants they had it would now have college premiums a college deductibles, it was articulate that something had to be done in social club to reduce the political Fallout.

Aside from the fact that all of these changes bear witness that Obamacare is incredibly flawed and was hastily passed and sign without proper exam or consideration of his impact, the means by which Obama has insisted on " correcting" information technology'due south many flaws has been gross abuse is of a president's power (226).

"If you like your healthcare program, y'all will be able to keep your health care plan, catamenia." Obama repeatedly fabricated this claim while making the case for ObamaCare. Unfortunately, Americans will learn, the difficult way, that this hope was a lie, as millions of Americans discover that their current wellness plans were non compliant with the police force, and we're no longer bachelor. By the end of February 2014, just five months later on the Obamacare rollout, 6.3 million people at already had their existing plans cancelled.

Obama'due south blood-red line was crossed with no action from us; Russian federation got a mass of increasing influence as they got their Marry, aside, out of a tight spot. But the Assad regime failed to honor the understanding, as the first deadline for the surrender of the stockpile of chemic weapons was non met.

But, once more, I don't have to and neither exercise you equally the author has collected them all in this book along with the facts that support his assertions that are all very well documented. When Obama was elected, people expected that racial divisions would at present be a affair of the by. Merely that turned out to exist totally wrong as race relations are much worse afterwards his term in function than before. Continue your health care program and continue your doctor if you're happy with them turned out to exist one giant bait and switch as people were generally not able to practice either and saw their premiums double in many cases while authorities took over a huge segment of the US economy.

This was an center-opening expose'. The details Margolis presented about the actions of Obama are incredible. I can't see why he was not impeached -- or farther, charged with treason!

This volume is definitely worth your time. In the "doomsday clock" of absolute totalitarianism this volume shows that the hands take jumped from 4:30 PM to 11:30. We have dodged the bullet on the total lock by rejecting Clinton. We can only hope that this information can help us turn back the hands and drain the swamp a little.
Obama continues to use the mainstream media to lie and cheat his way into unearned credit. While the Netflix propaganda vehicle invades the gestalt, this book is an essential reality reminder. This evil man is simply a poster boy for the socialist machine. Simply the data in this book exposes the strategy and tactics that our own socialist fifth column is employing. About 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 future in Canada and should be required reading for anyone nonetheless trying to sympathize why nosotros are in this mess of "politically correct" social engineering. This book shows that the new world of politics is not organic only is an agenda planned and implemented by power mad totalitarians. The longer we allow this to go along to less liberty volition be left to future generations.
The book is easy to read. Don't expect a story to unfold merely rather a series of 200 factual, short news items. They are assembled into relatively coherent and separate issues and tin serve equally reference subjects. But in my stance, it is worth while to read information technology through equally presented. I would take liked to run into an bagginess list of all the reasons, and I would wish for an updated version that includes Obama's malfeasance with the Clinton campaign. Just in information technology'southward context to 2015 it is an excellent presentation.

I wish I could dismiss this volume as uncomplicated-minded hard-right propaganda but I lived through it so I remembered about 99% of the events described by author Margolis.

My offset taste of Obamacare was when the cost of my son'due south almanac checkup went from a $l-deductible to $682.42 and I plant that "If you lot like your health program, yous can keep your wellness plan" was false.

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

But by far, Obama's strange policy (Benghazi, Bergdahl, Gitmo, Manning, JCPOA etc) made the average thinking American wonder if Obama was more in favor of helping Global Islamic Terror proliferate than helping everyday Americans improve their lives. I have always felt that Obama's random and indecipherable strange policy made the world less safe.

No indicate in expanding on more ways Obama failed the American people--political correctness gone wild, public restroom madness, racial sectionalization, soaring debt, failing economic system, deflated military, crony capitalism, scandal later on 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.
