The other day BBC News asked whether or not Mitt Romney has what it takes to be a successful President of the United States.
Since Mr. Romney has never been President, the answer has to be ‘we don’t know’. We’ll be able to answer that question if Romney is elected and after he spends a period of time in office, not before. We can speculate all we want to but until then we simply won’t know because we’ll have nothing to base an answer on, no track record if you will.
We do know this, however: Barack Obama does not have what it takes to be a successful President of the United States.
We can say that with absolute certainty because his track record in office has been uniformly awful and America and Americans are in far worse shape than they were when he was elected in literally any area anyone can think of, domestically, internationally, any area at all.
Obama’s track record is crystal clear...it tells us that his first term was disastrous for America and Americans in every area there is and that a second term would be worse, not better...it tells us that the country and its institutions would be irrevocably changed and diminished if he is reelected, that the country might not even survive in its present form if he is returned to office in November’s presidential election.
If BBC News asked ‘Has Barack Obama got what it takes?’ the answer would have to be a resounding no, he does not.
He is arguably one of the worst Presidents in American history, if not the worst.
Based on his track record, not just on mere speculation.
