Somewhere on the campaign trail, Obama supporters are apparently handing out a flyer where they have summed up Obama’s four major accomplishments. I almost find it hard to believe … but then we are dealing with ObamaBots here, so I’m not expecting much in the way of brains. Are you ready?
Since passing ObamaCare, healthcare costs have been on the rise. In 2011 alone, spending on healthcare increased by 4.6%, up $4,500 per person. Health insurance premiums rose between 3-4% in 2011. In fact, “Between 2009 to 2012, premiums have climbed $2,370 for the average family with an employer-provided plan – a rate faster than the during the previous four years under President George W. Bush.” That doesn’t even get into the effect ObamaCare will have on businesses and jobs. According to a recent study, “Fully implementing Obamacare regulations have already cost the U.S. economy $27.6 billion and more than 18,000 jobs.” Then there is the quality of care issue. I wonder how you will feel when an unelected board of bureaucrats will decide what kind of care you can and can’t receive, rather than you and your doctor.
There have been zero Wall Street prosecutions during Barack Obama and Eric Holder’s reign. And two years after Barack Obama vowed to eliminate the danger of financial institutions becoming “too big to fail,” the nation’s largest banks are bigger than they were before! Meanwhile, the unintended consequences of Dodd-Frank are hitting your pocketbook in places like … your checking account. Free checking is a thing of the past thanks to Dodd-Frank.
This $800 billion excuse for Congress to fund their pork barrel projects was nothing more than a big-fat kiss on the mouth for the likes of Nancy Pelosi. Even Obama admitted that it turned out that many of these jobs were not as “shovel ready” as he thought. I guess that’s what happens when you spend taxpayer money to study grandparents in Alaska, or on international ant research or to create interactive dance video games. But the point is that even if this $800 billion created 3 million jobs (as the administration claims), that still works out to $266,000 per job. However, CBO reports show that at its peak in 2010, the stimulus bill created at most 700,000 jobs. Then the Obama administration expanded the definition to jobs “created or saved” and then “jobs effected” and even “lives touched.”
I mean, what can you say to that one, folks? This is all these ObamaBots have. Obama had nothing to do with the killing of Osama bin Laden other than finally (after three attempts) giving the Navy SEALs the OK to do their mission, which they began planning well before Obama even took office.
I am surprised that there is no mention of Obama saving the auto industry on this list of Obama “accomplishments.” Clearly, I’ve dispelled that one as well.
