DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN....

Do you remember when Obama said: “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”? Try telling that to the 20 million people who will lose their health insurance if Obamacare goes through or the 7.4 million seniors who are going to lose it. 

Do you remember when he said: “I guarantee if you make less than $250,000, your taxes won’t go up”?   Of the 21 tax increases in Obamacare, 12 of them hit the middle class.

Do you remember when he said: “health insurance premiums will go down $2,500 per family, per year”?   They’ve gone up $3,000, and they’re expected to go up another $2,400.

Do you remember when he said: “I promise by the end of my first term I’ll cut the deficit in half in four years”?   We’ve had four budgets, four trillion-dollar deficits.

Do you remember when he said: “If I don’t have the economy turned around in three years, then it’s a one term deal”?  

Do you remember when he said that by now we'd have unemployment at 5.4 percent?  The difference between where it is and 5.4 percent is 9 million Americans without work.

Do you remember when he said he would have by now put forward a plan to reform Medicare and Social Security because he pointed out they're on the road to bankruptcy? He hasn't even made a proposal on either one.

Do you remember when he said in his first year he'd put out an immigration plan that would deal with our immigration challenges?   He never did even file a plan.

There are a lot of other promises he never kept, but you get the idea. 

Here is what I cannot understand: If he failed to keep all these promises in his first term, why in hell would anyone be so stupid as to believe he will keep the promises he is making for a second term.

Unfortunately we Republicans will only be voting once, unlike a lot of Democrats.

The middle class is getting crushed under the policies of a president who has not understood what it takes to get the economy working again.  He keeps saying, "Look, I've created 5 million jobs."  That's after losing 5 million jobs.  The entire record is such that the unemployment has not been reduced at all in this country.  The unemployment, the number of people who are still looking for work, is still 23 million Americans.

There are more people in poverty, one out of six people in poverty.  How about food stamps?  When he took office, 32 million people were on food stamps.  Today, 47 million people are on food stamps.  How about the growth of the economy?  It's growing more slowly this year than last year and more slowly last year than the year before.
