Obama's Taxpayer Funded Bribe

Many of you may think I am being dramatic about this election. Perhaps so. One thing is sure; never has our country had so much to lose in a presidential election. You see, I took Obama seriously when he said that he was going to “fundamentally transform” our country. I took his chief advisor and the head of his transition team, Valerie Jarrett, seriously when she said Obama would be ready to “rule from day one.” Both of these statements were entirely and completely consistent with the Obama we met in Dinesh D’Souza’s book and movie “2016, Obama’s America.” Transform America? Into what? That’s pretty easy to figure out if you look into Obama’s past. Transform America into a nation weakened in its international relations with an economy based on government spending and wealth seizure and redistribution where desires for freedom are subjugated to the quest for security.

Anyway …….

I’m sure you folks want me to be brutally honest with you as to how I feel this election is going. Some days are better than others. Just take this one poll on which candidate can do a better job with our economy. First; consider a few facts:
Obama said he would cut our deficit in half in his first term. He didn’t. He exploded it. And don’t buy this “two wars that weren’t paid for” nonsense. The money for those two wars was pretty much appropriated before he became president.
Obama pushed through an $850 BILLION so-called stimulus plan, and now he tells us that spending belongs to Bush? Doesn’t that strike you as a bit dishonest?
Our economy is the worst it has ever been in the history of this country … except for the few years that our economy was in a recession. The WORST, folks!
There are fewer people with jobs right now than there were when Obama was sworn in as president.
If you allowed for all of the people who just gave up and stopped even looking for jobs – included them in the workforce instead of writing them off -- our unemployment rate right now would be over 16%
Obama has increased our national debt by an amount that exceeds the total debt incurred by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton .. and a bit into the administration of Bush 43

Just those facts … and there are many more … but consider just those facts and tell me how anyone could possibly say that they believe that Obama could do a better job with our economy than Romney? How do people work that out in their minds? Romney has a demonstrable record of success. Obama’s record is one of failure. And people really think that Obama could do a better job with the economy?

I’m thinking that the people who respond to these polls are really thinking about their personal economy … not our national economy. They believe that Obama taking money away from people they don’t particularly like, and giving it to them improves their personal economy. In that context, the polls make sense.
