Most Americans judge a President based on his promises and his results. They measure the success of the nation in part by the question Ronald Reagan asked voters in 1980. Reagan simply said, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
For Barack Obama, this question is deadly. Obama promised big results, but he has failed to deliver. For example, look at these four promises and his results.
Obama’s 825 billion dollar stimulus failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent as Obama promised. Since President Obama’s stimulus passed, America has lost 1.1 million jobs. If you count people who have become discouraged and are no longer seeking jobs, some economists believe that real unemployment rate is above twenty percent.
Obama called his health care package one of his major accomplishments. He told CBS’ Steve Kroft he was “putting in place a system in which we’re going to start lowering health care costs.” Yet it has failed to make health insurance more affordable. According to the fact watchdog website FactCheck.org, ObamaCare is actually making health care “less affordable.” Workers paid an average of $132 more for family coverage just this year.
Obama predicted his investments in green energy would create 5 million jobs, but the Wall Street Journal reports: “The green jobs subsidy story gets more embarrassing by the day. Three years ago President Obama promised that by the end of the decade, America would have five million green jobs, but so far, some $90 billion in government spending has delivered very few.”
Obama pledged to cut the deficit in half, saying: “And that’s why today I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office.” Even if every part of Obama’s deficit reduction proposal was enacted, the deficit at the end of his first term would still be $1.33 trillion, more than twice what he promised.
But don’t expect much reporting on his record. Instead, watch as the media focuses on polls. They like to treat most campaigns like a horse race. Don’t be bedazzled by the speeches and rhetoric, just look at the promises and his results. Judge Barack Obama by his own expectations and you will see he has been a failure.
But the news media is almost as desperate to ignore Obama’s record as he is to hide it.
As a result of his dismal record, he has decided to run a campaign of attacks on Mitt Romney in the vain hope that the subject will be changed. The mainstream media will help him change the agenda.
We will hear stories about how Bain Capital, Romney’s old firm, restructured business and cut jobs, and the media will forget to talk about how Obama restructured General Motors and cut jobs.
We will hear stories about how Mitt Romney bullied someone in school nearly 50 years ago, and we won’t hear about Barack Obama doing drugs 25 or 30 years ago.
We will hear stories about how Mitt Romney is controlled by the far right, and we won’t hear a story about Barack Obama’s associates on the far left.
Expect the media to work as hard to re-elect Barack Obama as they did to elect him. But if Romney stays focused on giving America the facts and forcing the media to report accurately, this election is his to lose.

America,,,,,,,,,,Steve King (r – Iowa) IS PROPOSING A BILL TO REPEAL ALL DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA TO BE NULL AND VOID !
In the four areas Barrack Obama Promised he has failed dismally, yet his spin artists will never bring those facts to light. If this was a company and the CEO promised he would do certain things and accomplished none of those things he would be out on the street looking for work…I want Obama to keep one of his promises…”And that’s why today I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office.”…Liberals can give all kind of excuses…this is what he promised…on LIVE television…he did not deliver did he…don’t blame bush…don’t blame congress you said this MR president….It does prove one thing he can not accept the blame for his failures and instead he will blame others and still does even after 3-1/2 yrs in office
I don’t think the prez Obamination has any intention of fulfilling those promises… Just wait. Come November, when the Obamination knows 4 sure he’s losing, he will declare marshal law and put off elections indefinatly, by causing race riots that will make the Rodney King riot look like a game and causing America to go bankrupt. Did we forget who’s church he attended for 20 yrs? Obama already has reffered himself as “ruler” of this United States. I do belive, removing him by election won’t work, and is much to late…
I’m not trying to be facetious (really not) But what would you suggest we do when the time comes?I’am . very serious about what I ask you..
Bush spent 6 trillion in 8 yrs. Obamanation spent 5 trillion in less then 3 yrs. Whats wrong with that picture ppl?
Broken Promises? Yes! But, I am so alarmed and afraid with what Obama’s Executive Orders are going to accomplish or punish the American people.
Here is a list of things the Government has already completed…why? Martial Law?
The US government recently placed an order for pre-pkgd, long shelf-life meals that increase
their food reserves by over 7,000%.

Also, Obama has named an Assassination Czar….President Obama appointed John Brennan as the sole person in charge of designating people to be assassinated on Tuesday.
For all of you NaySayers…google this and prove to yourself what Obama is doing……to ALL of us not just the Republicans!!! And to those who vote for Obama just to get “your check”…look what may be coming your way!
This is a good discussion, and I surely hope that Trump has something big:

Wake-Up Tea Party Patriots Now Is The Time To Make Pres Dumbo-Care Obama “Sit In The Corner With His “Dunce Cap” On And His Large Ears Waving In The Breeze!!! “Confucius Says”, Mitt Romney Stay Focused On Giving American Tea Party Patriotic Voters, “The Facts” And Forcing The Soros Media To Report Accurately!!! This Election Is Mitt Romneys To “WIN”!! God Bless America And Sheriff Joe Arpaio With Sarah Palin.
I would like to see BHO stand at the lectern and base his reelection HOPES on the one question Ronald Regan asked when he ran for reelection.
“ASK YOURSELF, ARE BETTER OF TODAY THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO”

Can you see this happening anytime soon?
His unemployment numbers are bogus. If all the jobs in this country are gone and everyone has been through the “first time on unemployment shtick” his unemployment number will be “0″. He is NOT counting the people without a job at all, much different!! We are in reality about 16 to 18% with stats like Michigan closer to 20. He has screwed this up along with every other promise he has made. By the way, there are a lot more than 4, but I will leave you with this:
It isn’t Gods Will that is destroying the best Country that has ever been on this planet; it is apathy by both our Government and by the many people in this country that just don’t seem to give a damn about what they are about to lose, Trust me, if we don’t fix this, this election, we WILL lose it. You might get a better idea of what can happen under a dictatorship if you look at Germany 1930-1940, Communism in Russia and China and Pol Pot in Cambodia where they are still digging up bodies. I for one will NOT go down quietly. Think of it this way, praying and stuffing your head in the sand didn’t help those people at all. I am sorry to say, we are at the point where our founders wouldn’t even recognize our freedoms any more.
If we want out country back we will have to fight for it, first at the polls in November, if not……..
