Obamanomics Amaze and Dazzle

As has been noticed throughout this campaign, the sitting president is reluctant to "run on his record." Well, except when he tells us that he needs four more years for it to really kick in. There'd be a kick, alright.

 

So, let's help inform folks about the Obama record. Here are a couple...

 

Household incomes are down 8.2% during the Obama administration.

 

Health premiums are up by $3,000 during the Obama administration. Wait! That's not Obama's fault, is it? They would probably be up no matter who was in office. Well, that me be so, but Mr. Obama indicated differently a few short years back: "In a debate with Sen. John McCain, for example, Obama said 'the only thing we're going to try to do is lower costs so that those cost savings are passed onto you. And we estimate we can cut the average family's premium by about $2,500 per year.' At a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio, in February 2008, Obama promised that 'We are going to work with you to lower your premiums by $2,500. We will not wait 20 years from now to do it, or 10 years from now to do it. We will do it by the end of my first term as president.'"

 

These and other key Obama promises are the hallmarks of Obamanomics. They are not TEA Party promises; they are not Mitt Romney's promises. They are Obama promises that have always been and will always be mutually exclusive from Obama's policies.

 

Liberals (aka, regressives) love failure, and they have become experts at it in recent years. If your concept of the American dream is failure, then you have an easy decision to make on election day.

 

If, on the other hand, your vision of the American dream is to enhance the opportunities through which innovative, hard-working Americans can succeed, then your election day decision is not too difficult either.
