I disliked him as President because of his policies and actions. I voted for him in 2008 figuring he would bring hope and change. Instead, he brought division and reignited the racial tension in the U.S. He received the Nobel Peace prize yet was the only President who was at war the entire time he was in office.Obama’s legacy:Listed below is a large part of Obama's disastrous legacy. As he left office, he did several other things including approving a $150 million dollar payment to Iran.During his Presidency:He signed over control of the Internet to foreign countries (including China and other entities hostile to the USA) starting October 1, 2016.In August, 2016, he handed over control of future U.S. elections to the Department of Homeland Security saying elections are "critical infrastructure." Meaning the Nov. 8 presidential election will be controlled by Obama's radical, Jeh Johnson-run DHS.There were Islamic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil (Fort Hood, Chattanooga, Little Rock, the Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, Orlando, the Sept. 2014 stabbings and decapitation murder in Moore, Oklahoma, the little-known terror attack in Garland, Texas on 5/3/15, the 9/17/16 bombings in New Jersey and NYC; 9/17/16 stabbings at Minnesota mall, the 5 murders in a Macy's north of Seattle on 9/23/16; the 11/28/16 car attack, stabbings at Ohio State University, etc.He vetoed the bill allowing the families of 9/11 victims sue the Saudi Arabian government. Obama's veto was overridden by Congress -- the 1st congressional override during his presidency.He issued an executive order giving the president additional power to declare Martial Law during peacetime.In August of 2012, he said Syria will have "crossed a red line" if they use chemical weapons, and warned of "enormous consequences." In August of 2013, Syrian President al-Assad allegedly DID use chemical weapons against his own people (sarin gas was used to kill more than 1,400 civilians). Obama did nothing.He consistently refused to call the enemy of America by its name - "radical Islamic terrorism").He categorized Major Nidal Hassan's Islamic terrorist attack at Fort Hood as "workplace violence." As a result, victims of the 11/5/09 Fort Hood Islamic terrorist attack had to lobby for more than 5 years to receive Purple Hearts and government benefits.He allowed into the US a record number of "refugees." Despite ISIS vowing to infiltrate, at least 14,172 Syrian refugees have already arrived (99% of which are Muslims), And he wanted to permit at least 110,000 more refugees in the fiscal year 2017, 20,075 more from Syria.42,611 Somali refugees were resettled into U.S. during Obama's first 7 years in office. 99% Muslim.There was practically no vetting of refugees for extremist views.His Administration purposely under-reported the number of illegal aliens arriving in or already inside the U.S.He refused to establish safe zones for Syrian refugees along the Syrian border. He preferred to bring them to the US.His intentions were to bring in as many Muslim refugees as possible to the US while refusing to help Christian refugees fleeing ISIS.He arranged for those with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (Arif Alikhan, Mohammed Eliblary, Rashad Hussain, Salam al-Marayati, Imam Mohamed Magid, Eboo Patel) to work as advisers to the White House, DHS. 72 employees of Obama's DHS were on the terror-watch list.His lax (some would say non-existent) immigration enforcement and intentionally handcuffing the U.S. border patrol caused the number of illegal aliens to skyrocket.Fewer and fewer criminal illegal aliens were deported each year of his term One-third of the U.S. prison population is now illegal aliens.His executive order on illegal immigration (an attempt to protect up to 5 million illegals from deportation) was struck down by the courts.Incredibly, 1,811 illegal aliens from terrorist nations scheduled to be deported, were "mistakenly" given U.S. citizenship.He rushed to swear in as many new citizens as possible in 2016 to help Hillary Clinton get elected.He secretly delayed deportation hearings of at least 56,000 illegals from Central America.Agencies working for Obama allowed almost 1 million illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S., even though they have been approved by judges for deportation. That number includes 182,761 illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes inside the U.S.There were a record number of illegal aliens illegally voting in U.S. elections.In October, 2016, in what was an obvious vendetta, Obama's DOJ filed federal contempt of court charges against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for ignoring a judge's order. The judge ordered Arpaio to stop enforcing federal immigration laws already on the books. Arpaio refused.During his final months in office, Obama's DHS shut down Operation Phalanx, an aerial surveillance program, where U.S. helicopters helped spot drug smuggling and illegal crossings at the southern border.On 11/21/16, it was reported that several thousand green cards issued over the past few years are missing.More diseases are now spreading in the U.S. including the Zika virus, which came from Central America, and the resurgence of old diseases like Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Malaria, Measles and Mumps.Obama allowed Ebola patients from West Africa to enter the U.S. Two Dallas nurses contracted the disease, but recovered.Just prior to the 2016 presidential election, Obama encouraged illegal aliens to vote during an interview with reporter Gina Rodriguez. Obama said there will be "no repercussions" for illegals who vote.At least 3 million illegal aliens reportedly voted in the 2016 presidential election.His "recess appointments" that were struck down as "illegal" by the Supreme Court.During his international "apology tour" back in '09, he bowed to the Saudi king.He consistently criticized the U.S. while traveling on foreign soil.He arranged for the swap of 5 dangerous Gitmo prisoners for suspected traitor Bowe Bergdahl. His Administration delayed the prosecution of Bergdahl as long as possible.When Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi (suffering from PTSD) was arrested in Mexico after accidentally crossing the border with three weapons in his car, Obama let him languish in a Mexican prison (where Tahmooressi was tortured) for 214 days.He released lethal Gitmo prisoners, including the one responsible for the USS Cole attack in 2000. Many others returned to Islamic terrorism, fighting Americans on the battlefield. The purpose of this was to close Gitmo.He closed all overseas CIA interrogation centers and outlawed CIA enhanced interrogations.He tied the hands of our troops overseas with insane rules of engagement, making Marines into social workers rather than soldiers.He tied the hands of the FBI and other investigative agencies with insane political correctness (i.e.) forbidding the mention of "radical Islamic terrorism."He stopped undercover surveillance of Islamic mosques where generally radicals are organized and protected.He let more than 1,000 convicted criminals out of prison early, that's more than the 11 previous U.S. presidents – since FDR - combined.Hre let radical, uber-left lawyer and convicted Islamic-terrorist conspirator Lynne Stewart out of prison early on 12/31/13 -- an early "compassionate release" because she has terminal breast cancer. She's still very much alive to this day.Pulled out of Iraq too early against the advice of military leaders (leading to further destabilization of the Middle East and the formation of ISIS).When Hillary Clinton was Obama's Secretary of State, 20% of U.S. uranium was transferred to Russia's control.With Hillary Clinton as Obama's Secretary of State, $6 billion went mysterious missing from the state department. There has been no investigation.He canceled a deal the U.S. had with Poland and the Czech Republic to build a missile defense base in Poland to protect against any possible future missile attacks from Iran.He encouraged legalization of gay marriage and promoted having gays openly serving in the military.He pushed hard for transgenders to get their choice of bathrooms based on their “gender decisions.” He also promoted the concept of transgenders serving openly in the military.The military will now pay for a service person to transition gender and the troops now have to be counseled on how to treat transgendered service people. The military was never intended as a social service remedy to personal gender issues.Overall, he weakened the U.S. military. He slashing some areas of the military to pre-World War II levels. By using the military for left-wing "social engineering" purposes, he destroyed the morale in the U.S. military.
