TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMANOMICS. . .

Four years ago, President Barack Obama signed into law his trillion-dollar stimulus plan, a measure that he promised would save or create 3 million jobs by the end of 2010 and would prevent unemployment from ever going above 8 percent. And though the President today will likely claim that thanks to his efforts, the U.S. economy is surging, don’t believe him. The verdict is in: Obamanomics has failed.

"truthforamerica" Regarding healthcare, you said "costs are going up"? What costs? My health care costs, co-pays are lower, many co-pays have been eliminated. Me family is saving $260/month. What's going to increase 40% for young people? This concerns me regarding my children/young adults. The national debt, where are the details, Bush vs Obama? Share the details.Disagreement's might be avoided if someone share the true facts. We can make educated decisions for us and the country.

Given this address from the President, which had nothing to do with drones, however, add cutting the drones to the plan and we will save that money and by not using the drones, people in other countries won't be killed by the drones. This "kills 2 birds with one rock".

Watch “Occupying Chairlifts” on youtube, a simple rule tweak on inheritance ends up changing the direction and purpose of modern human life! Here’s a fair way to transition forward, something specific we can demand, protest for, and adopt ourselves! Spread it around! If this isnt the best answer, at least we’re thinking about what might be. What if we were really just this close to having it work right?

Oh yeah, it's a Ski movie thing. Watch “Occupying Chairlifts” on Youtube!

Yes, Obama fixed healthcare and that is why costs are going up? I work in a related industry and it's going to increase 40% for younger people. And again, you didn't address any facts I gave you. Only mindless namecalling like the average liberal. I will repeat. Obama has added more to the national debt in one term that Bush even came close to in 8 years! Obama called that unpatriotic then. But of course you glossed over that. Get your head out of Obama's rear end and you might see.

If you were informed, you wouldn't know that between 80% and 90% of millionaires are first generation. Let me explain that so you would even understand.......that means they didn't inherit money. They earned it on their own. And then you wealth envy types like to demonize them. The top 1% pay 40% of the taxes. So how much is enough? By the way, have you ever worked for a poor person. You act like it's a big fixed pie. Economics doesn't work that way.

You are a typical delusional Obama supporter. Always pointing a finger and blaming someone else for your problems. Don't give me that "white man" crap either. If you think the "white man" is the source of your problems, a one way ticket to Africa might open you eyes. I am sick and tired of being discriminated against by someone who depends on me for a government check. I am white, republican, middle class and am a proud American in spite of our embarrassment of a president.

Wrong!!!! Our nation has been divided for decades!! Obama has merely pointed it out all the divisivness of the wealthy, white population in America!!!!! Obama has awakened the nation to the inequality which have gone on, and how the wealthy have been robbing from the poor and middle class for years!!!!!
