Rand Paul calls Obama unqualified

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Instead of listing his top ten favorite albums of 2015 like everyone else, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. took to Twitter to list the top ten reasons he believes President Barack Obama is unqualified for the White House.

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Donald Trump's plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States "disqualifies him from serving as president." Earnest called on Republicans to withhold their support if Trump becomes the party's nominee for president.

On Wednesday, Paul fired back on Twitter: "Yesterday the Obama White House had the nerve to say someone else was unqualified for office. Today I would like to put a mirror in front of the Obama White House and show them the top ten things that make HIM unqualified[.]"

The tweets that followed slammed Obama's use of executive orders and the passage of the Affordable Care Act, also making claims that the president ignores the 2nd amendment, and that "he has added more debt than anyone in history." Paul has made similar claims about Obama's debt load in the past, which Politifact has labeled as mostly false due to the many factors that contribute to the national debt.

December 3 polling numbers from Quinnipiac University show Paul polling at 2 percent. A Monmouth University poll released Monday shows Paul polling at 4 percent in Iowa. Earlier this month, Paul filed paperwork to run for president, as well as to run for re-election to his Senate seat.
