I have been broadcasting for 31 years and writing for longer than that. I do not recall ever saying on radio or in print that a president is doing lasting damage to our country. I did not like the presidencies of Jimmy Carter (the last Democrat I voted for) or Bill Clinton. Nor did I care for the “compassionate conservatism” of George W. Bush. In modern political parlance “compassionate” is a euphemism for ever-expanding government.
But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged by a president. So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America. The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.
Domestically, his policies have gravely impacted the American economy.
He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history.
He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion dollars in five years (this after calling his predecessor “unpatriotic” for adding nearly $5 trillion in eight years).
He has fashioned a country in which more Americans now receive government aid — means-tested, let alone non-means tested — than work full-time.
He has no method of paying for this debt other than printing more money — thereby surreptitiously taxing everyone through inflation, including the poor he claims to be helping, and cheapening the dollar to the point that some countries are talking another reserve currency — and saddling the next generations with enormous debts.

Yes, Amen, Ditto, You got that right!
The unfortunate thing is most people still don’t see it.
Perhaps the thinking is, that he and the government will not need to pay the debt if they just collapse the system
He cut the deficit in half. You forgot to mention that
I liked Carter and I liked Clinton. I thought Bush was the worst president ever, until we got Obama. We are still in a recession so of course more people are going to be out of work and on gov. assistance. The real reason for our ever expanding debt is the endless warfare going on in the middle east and the bottomless pit of pentagon and homeland insecurity spending. It was the war in Afghanistan that led to the downfall of the USSR and we did not learn a thing from watching them so we decided to try it ourselves. When your only industry and only export is endless warfare something is seriously wrong with the country. Cutting aid to the poor is not going to solve any of our problems it will only make things worse.
