There are those who believe they now know what Obama meant when he said, "...fundamentally change America." Leaving aside, for the moment, the crushing national debt (which loony liberals think is irrelevant since we print our own money...LOL), high unemployment, Obamacare which is causing insurance premiums to dramatically rise. Instead, lets take a look at the cost of living in this country under Obamanomics. Since President Obama took over, gas has risen 83% (from $1.79/ga), ground beef has risen 24%, bacon has risen 22%. Even that American favorite, ice cream, has risen nearly 20%! That, my friends, is change you can believe in!!! The good news is that milk and eggs have barely risen over 2%. I guess there is some good to Obamanomics, right? I doubt anyone really believes that, especially those that have not been able to find a job for the past two or three years. Those "Shovel ready jobs weren't quite as shovel ready as we expected." You find that funny? President Obama did.
I am typing this up just prior to the State of the Union address last night. But, I am willing to bet President Obama will take credit for "green energy jobs creation" (Solyndra anyone?), unemployment falling down to 8.5% (without taking into consideration the huge number of people who have literally stopped looking for work or no longer eligible for unemployment insurance), and working to reduce the national debt on the backs of the U.S. military, while exempting Departments of Education and Energy. Gee, I wonder why? Could it have anything to do with unions? Maybe, maybe not. But, the fact of the matter is that Obamanomics is an abject failure. The President's hardcore belief that big government is the answer to all our nation's woes is not working. Government does not create jobs. Government creates debt. In regard to the latter, President Obama has proven that Obamanomics is a resounding success. Somehow, I don't think you'll hear the President mentioning that success in the State of the Union speech.
Fear-mongering anyone?
ReplyDeleteGiven that many of the impacts on the US economy were caused by issues that were created by the Bush administration, it's amazing that Obama is being held accountable for not having instantly fixed them simply by being elected; especially since the Republican party has worked tirelessly to sling mud and block every attempt to implement solutions.
As for the "big government" charge, what increase in government has there been? If anything, Obama has acted to reduce the size of government by consolidating agencies (eg: Department of Commerce) and fixing inefficiencies created by REPUBLICAN presidents, such as Nixon.
Anyone remember Nixon? That was the Republican who was forced to resign from the presidency before he could be impeached, because he was a criminal. Of course, he was immediately pardoned by Gerald Ford, another Republican, who was handed the office without an election.
Don't try to pretend the Republican party has a history of integrity or common sense.
Fear Mongering? As opposed to class warfare? When all else fails (as has been the case with The Messiah), BLAME BUSH. At what point in time do you Leftists get over the fact Bush is no longer President? At what point will you, in fact, stop blaming Reagan? When Obama came into power, he promised to make things better, He has made things worse. OBama stated if he couldn't get things "fixed" in 3 years, he didn't deserve a 2nd term. Those are his words, not mine. Government intervention into the economy has never worked. It never will work. But, that doesn't stop Socialists from trying over and over again. Big government? What do you call Obamacare? What do you call TARP? What do you call the bailouts of Government Motors? Big government? I would hate to hear what you definition is.
ReplyDeleteNixon? Oh, we going to blaming him now. What does Nixon have to do with this post? Nothing. It is just an old liberal tactic to change the subject when you can't argue your point. The Republican Party has it's crosses to bear. But, the Democratic Socialist Party is pristine and pure, right? Remember Bill Clinton? Oh, lets not go there. He was impeached for screwing (literally) around in the Oval office. You are boring. I won't waste my time on you unless you are willing to register with a Google accoutn.
