George Washington literally defined the term “presidential.”
 

 
For those of us familiar with his admirable character, could there possibly be a more stunning contrast between the “Father of our country” and the present occupant of the White House?
 
In our first president, America was blessed with a true leader in every sense of the word. George Washington was honorable, God-fearing, humble, courageous, loyal to the patriot cause and entirely trustworthy.
 
Unfortunately, none of those qualities can be found in Barack Obama, a spiteful man with a perennial chip on his shoulder. A narcissist with the temperament and tone of a dictator, he is disrespectful, deceitful, callously mocks God, and refuses to accept responsibility for the disastrous results of his administration’s policies.

 
On September 19, 1796, newspapers first published Washington’s Farewell address. His speech clearly illustrates the stark dissimilarity between the two presidents.
Note that, in the following excerpt, Washington’s use of the pronoun “I” was merely a grammatical necessity, most definitely not a blatant attempt at self-aggrandizement ~

…In the discharge of this trust, I will only say that I have, with good intentions, contributed towards the organization and administration of the government the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable. Not unconscious in the outset of the inferiority of my qualifications, experience in my own eyes, perhaps still more in the eyes of others, has strengthened the motives to diffidence of myself; and every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me more and more that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as it will be welcome. Satisfied that if any circumstances have given peculiar value to my services, they were temporary, I have the consolation to believe that, while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it.

 
As he left office, Washington was anxious for the Republic that he and his fellow patriots had fought so hard to establish, and deeply concerned that it be preserved for generations to come.
 
The separation of powers between the three branches of government was vital;

…. It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositaries, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield.

 
Religion and morality are critical to the survival of the Republic;

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

Barack Obama is the antithesis of everything that made George Washington great. He’s a petty, self-absorbed, irreligious, Machiavellian tyrant. And in three and a half short years he has relentlessly attempted to dismantle everything that Washington and the founders so brilliantly and carefully constructed.
 

 
Simply put, the Republic bequeathed to us by our first president and his fellow patriots cannot survive another four years of Barack Hussein Obama. We owe it to the memory of all the liberty-cherishing Americans who came before us to make sure he delivers his farewell address in January 2013.
