Every day for the last four years has been an October surprise
A complete recounting of Obama’s shoulda-been October Surprises would fill a book, an encyclopedia, an entire library. But I think this is a good time to initiate a crowd-sourced list of everything Obama has done since 2008 (and every fact about his earlier life that emerged since 2008) which you thought was scandalous, shocking or outrageous. Just for the record, let’s remind the world that every freakin’ day for the last four years has been an October Surprise.
I’ll get the ball rolling with a few scandalous deeds and facts which occur to me at the moment, but this list will primarily come from you, the readers. In the comments section below, mention anything and everything that you believe should have ruined Obama politically (if the media had been doing its job). From the big to the small, from the recent to the distant, dig deep in your memory and just let it all out, like political primal scream therapy.
I’ll continuously update the list as best as I can to include whatever gets mentioned by the commenters.
Ready? Let the collective scream begin!

I’ve seen very good comprehensive lists posted here at HA already.
Here’s one:
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

This is a superb list of Obysmal’s failures.

“At some point I think you’ve earned enough.” Shows exactly what his unAmerican mind set was/is/and always will be.

Need to divide the list into two sub-lists:
1. The ones that tell conservatives that Obama has been and is their enemy.
2. The ones that tell average, uninterested Americans that Obama is their enemy.
Then, circulate the second list as broadly as possible over the remaining days.

That’s a solid list hitting the ‘high’ points of the last 4 miserable years.
All made possible by the melding of the mainstream media, the race obsessed, the naieve, the stupid, and a collection of commies (about 10% of the country is communist).

HA needs to compile a list of its Obamaturisms and send them around to this guy and a bunch of other sites to get reposted before the election.
What are there, about 1200 by now?

Anyone who needs a list to become aware of what Obama is has been in a coma for the last four years!

I’m more worried now about the surprises that will be coming in November, December, and January . . . until the day Mitt Romney is inaugurated.
Mass pardons for criminals, all sorts of unconstitutional EO’s, and who knows what other types of “revenge” little Barry has planned for the raaaaacist nation that will spurn him next Tuesday.

Pardons for the Blind Sheikh, Nidal Hassan, the Manson Family, Mumia and others.
And an EO abolishing the border patrol and ordering the destruction of all border checkpoints.
Another EO offering full amnesty.
CorporatePiggy on November 3, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Obama can’t pardon Mumia (although I don’t doubt that he’d like to). Mumia is a state prisoner. Only the Governor of Pennsylvania has the power to pardon him.
AZCoyote on November 3, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Nice. But is that unfortunate “literally” used in a ironic/dumb-as-Biden kind of way?
I hope so. Rest of it was great.

Closing Gitmo and releasing all the prisoners held there.

Could he be impeached or removed from office if he did something truly egregious in his last few months?
Frank Enstine on November 3, 2012 at 11:00 AM
I disagree.
The sheer volume of stupidity and outright illegality from the 0bama regime, is mind numbing.
Remember the outrage at the time for the Inspector General Walpin illegal firing? Who remembers that now?
Rebar on November 3, 2012 at 11:24 AM
A disaster, each and every day, a hoax and a pox upon the land.
Change your clocks tonight and your president on Tuesday.
Schadenfreude on November 3, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Impeached? Yes, by the House.
Removed, improsioned, etc.? No, because of the Senate.
Remember Bill Clinton?

Headline says it all. Even back in February ’09 we were getting October surprise after October surprise. It’s what spawned the Tea Party!
BTW, no one here on HA need the list. Ed’s been keeping pretty good track with the OOTD. We have a lying incompetent (or worse) as President. Loved the yard art I passed the other day. Legs sticking upside down in a trash can with the sign: “Don’t forget to take out the trash on November 6.”
