Dont forget what President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress did in 2010 and tell everybody who will listen! And if they do not get outraged, then they are sleeping under a rock and they cant get out.
Pure politicians have for years depended on voters to forget their misdeeds leading up to the next election. But things are different! Voters are not as stupid and uninformed as they used to be. People are more informed and aware of the arrogance of the current administration and Congress than ever before.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said they needed to pass the health care deform bill first, so they can then tell us whats in the bill. They passed it and we now know whats in the bill: An assault on our liberties, increased taxes through fines and an unprecedented expansion of government bureaucracy in our lives. Dont forget!
The presidents insistence on passing the Health Care deform bill against the will of the majority of the American people was a historic presidential slap in the face of the people. Poll after poll had confirmed that the people did not like this government takeover of our health care system, but the president and the Democrat-controlled Congress did it anyway. Dont forget!
Lets not forget that the House passed the Cap and Trade and Tax and Kill bill. After which, we found out that the so-called science behind the bill was false and had been manipulated for a political agenda. The Senate did not even take up the bill because they knew that it was dead on arrival.
Lets not forget that Senator Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) and Representative Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) were negligent in their oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were the catalysts for the financial meltdown of 2008 and 2009. They then went on to author the atrocious Financial Regulatory deform bill, which excluded Fannie and Freddie from so-called new and improved oversight provisions.
Lets not forget that this administration and Democrat-controlled Congress increased the national debt by nearly $4 trillion in two years. This is the same increase in debt during the Bush administration in eight years.
Lets not forget that this administration and Congress authorized over $860 billion in stimulus spending, which did not stimulate anything except voter outrage. The president and his economic advisors even said that it would keep the unemployment rate under 8 percent. Its been over 9 percent ever since.
Lets not forget the promises of transparency. Didnt happen! Lets not forget the promise of the most ethical Congress in history by Speaker Pelosi. Didnt happen! (Can we say Representative Charlie Rangel and Representative Maxine Waters?)
Lets not forget that Obama promised to focus on the economy in his February 2010 State of the Union address, but during his congratulatory speech to himself after signing the DADT legislation on December 22, 2010, he promised once again to focus on growing the economy. I thought the stimulus spending bill, cash for clunkers, cash for caulkers and cash for air were supposed to stimulate the economy and lower the unemployment rate. They did not! Dont forget.
Extending the tax rates for everybody for two years, and reducing the workers portion of the payroll tax by two percentage points for one year are now supposed to stimulate the economy. They might tickle the economy, but dont expect a surge in economic growth.
In 2010 we got more debt, more government, more broken promises and an anemic economy.
We will not forget.
OK. So we don’t forget. Now what? Remembering that we were raped does not take the rapist off the streets.
Did it make it more efficient? No
Will it increase recruitment? No
Will it enhance unit cohesion? No
Will it increase counter productive rules? You Betcha
Will the Ratification of the New Start Treaty increase our National Security? No
Would the "Dream Act" allowing illegal immigrants citizenship increase Jobs for American Citizens if passed? NO
Will Obamacare make Health care more affordable to most Americans? No, it has already increased it and is Killing Jobs.
Did the Stimulus Act increase Jobs and keep the Unemployment rate under 8%? No, the Private Sector continues to hemorrhage jobs at an alarming rate. The few that are created dwarf in comparison to those that are lost every month.
Did Obama, the Progressive/Liberal Democrats and the media learn any lesson from the "Shellacking" taken in the last election? No - Liberal policies were pushed even faster under the "Lame Duck" session and are being foisted on the Internet and through the EPA upon Industries at an alarming rate
Folks - Remember and Vote the Bstds OUT! Call your Liberal/Progressive representatives and chew them out!
Herman Caine Rocks!
Ping to Herman’s weekly commentary :)
bump
I stand with Herman...we will NOT forget!!!
“Now what? Remembering that we were raped does not take the rapist off the streets.”
It can fire us up to be activists and organizers, working to take rapists off the streets.
Being victimized spurred such people as Nancy Grace, John Walsh and numerous others to become tireless crusaders who contribute greatly to society and making it safer.
What BHO and his group are doing to us all IS a crime.
