Well documented false statements made by our Great Leader

These Obama false statements have been documented by PolitiFact. Some may already be listed elsewhere on this site simply because there are so many and our Great Leader shows no signs of slowing down. It is hard to keep up. (These range from 2008 to recent.)

Obama false statements compiled by PolitiFact.

1. “We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas.” False (Where, exactly, did you here that one, Mr. President?)
2. “Throughout, we have kept Congress fully informed of our efforts” to create a legal framework on counter-terrorism. False (You forgot to tell the Members of Congress.)
3. “If the House of Representatives fails to extend the middle-class tax cuts, 400,000 middle-class Rhode Island families will see their federal income taxes increase.” False (Someone should tell him the difference between households and families.)
4. Says Mitt Romney “called the Arizona law a model for the nation.” False (One more widely spread “misquote.”
5. “Under Gov. Romney’s definition … Donald Trump is a small business.” False (Pure fabrication. There never was any such Romney definition.)
6. Because of Obamacare, “over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up — it’s true — but they’ve gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years.” False (It had nothing to do with Obamacare and you know it, Mr. President. Or you should know it.)
7. “Over the last four years, the deficit has gone up, but 90 percent of that is as a consequence of” President George W. Bush’s policies and the recession. False (You continue to lie about George W. Bush. Shame on you.) See Obama’s Biggest Lie.
8. “Fast and Furious” began under the Bush administration. False (It was created in 2009 and guess what? You were president.)
9. Mitt Romney “says the Arizona immigration law should be a model for the nation.” False (You just can’t help it, can you?)
10. Says Mitt Romney would deny gay people the right to adopt children. False (Romney’s words say otherwise.)
11. “The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me.” False (It actually went down lower during a recession Reagan inherited from Carter. But then you often take credit for things you never did.)
12. “Under the Romney/Ryan budget, interest rates on federal student loans would be allowed to double.” False (You either never read the Romney/Ryan budget or you are simply lying again.)
13. If the Supreme Court throws out the federal health care law, it “would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” False (It was passed by a slim majority in a corrupt process. Also, it is not unprecedented for the Supreme Court to overturn a law passed by Congress.)
14. “For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs.” False (Not true. Please stop making stuff up.)
15. “Preventive care … saves money, for families, for businesses, for government, for everybody.” False (Wrong in 2009, and wrong today)
16. “Thirty million Americans, including a lot of people in Florida, are going to be able to get healthcare next year because of that law.” False (Only in your dreams can it be true.)
17. “I made a bunch of these promises during the campaign. … We’ve got about 60 percent done in three years.” False (See Obama Broken Promises.)
18. Under President Barack Obama, the United States has “doubled our exports.” False (Not even close to the truth.)
19. The president’s proposed budget “will help reduce the deficit by $400 billion over the next decade to the lowest level since Dwight Eisenhower was president.” False (Whew! He has no shame.)
20. Under the White House’s budget proposal, “we will not be adding more to the national debt” by the middle of the decade. False (He forgot to tell you about the growing interest on the debt. It is huge!)
21. Twelve judges have thrown out legal challenges to the health care law because they rejected “the notion that the health care law was unconstitutional.” False (The truth? Two to two on judges’ decisions on constitutionality. Big difference.)
22. “I didn’t raise taxes once.” False (Of course you did. If we had a few real journalists, you couldn’t keep getting away with all these lies.)
23. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt started Social Security, “it only affected widows and orphans,” and when Medicare began, “it was a small program.” False (An itsy-bitsy grain of truth here. But the lie is in the intent and he lied once again.)
24. The Bush administration had been “giving (auto companies) billions of dollars and just asking nothing in return.” False (Call in the shrinks. Our president cannot stop lying.)
25. “The vast majority of the money I got was from small donors all across the country.” False (Big donors bankrolled much of Obama’s campaign.)
26. “We’ve excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs.” False (Except for the ones in policy-making jobs.)
27. When Obama was interviewed by American reporters in Asia, “Not one of them asked me about Asia. Not one of them asked me about the economy.” False (Except for the ones that asked you.)
28. Insurers delayed an Illinois man’s treatment, “and he died because of it.” False (Hmm, I guess you forgot to tell the man to die, Mr. President, because the insurer’s decision was reversed and man lived three more years.)
29. Health reform will “give every American the same opportunity” to buy health insurance the way members of Congress do. False (I realize that none of you phonies have read the bill but couldn’t you just for once stop lying? You are really setting a bad example for our children. You know, the same children who you have burdened with massive debt.)
30. Preventive care “saves money.” False (Covering preventive care for everyone is a net cost.)
31. (No earmarks in spending bill) False (They are even there in your dreams.)
32. “If we went back to the obesity rates that existed back in the 1980s, the Medicare system over several years could save as much as a trillion dollars.” False (Wrong, wrong, wrong … and still wrong!)
33. “I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter.” False (Oh yes you did and it’s on YouTube.)
34. Stimulus tax cuts “began showing up in paychecks of 4.8 million Indiana households about three months ago.” False (How come the 4.8 million Indiana households didn’t notice?)
35. Health insurance companies are “making record profits, right now.” False (They’re making profits like they should, but not record profits like you would have us believe.)
36. “We import more oil today than ever before.” False (He said this on July 6, 2009 when oil imports were actually down.)
37. “There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy.” False (There is a lot of disagreement. At least half the country want the government to get out of the way so the private sector can rebuild our economy.)
38. “Senator McCain would pay for part of his (health care) plan by making drastic cuts in Medicare — $882-billion worth.” False (Which one of your lackeys told you that, Mr. President? McCain never said it. Later, Obama and the Democrats actually did cut over $500 billion out of Medicare. Phony is as phony does.)
39. “The centerpiece of Senator McCain’s education policy is to increase the voucher program in D.C. by 2,000 slots.” False (Do you have a secret “Tzar of Lies” or what? Or do you make the lies up all by yourself? It’s scary and the media should call you on it.)
40. Under John McCain’s health care plan, people get a $5,000 tax credit to buy a $12,000 health care policy, and “that’s a loss for you.” False (A major distortion on McCain’s policy.)
41. John McCain accused Barack Obama “of letting infants die.” False (Obama ad is wrong about McCain abortion charge. However the truth is that Senator Obama voted multiple times to defeat a bill that would have saved the lives of babies born alive in botched abortions.)
42. “Oil companies …currently have 68-million acres that they’re not using.” False (Unused does not mean they are being ignored.)
43. McCain “has opposed stem cell research.” False (Obama ad is misleading and it distorts McCain’s stem cell position.)
44. “But if my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would’ve had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week.” False (Where did you get that idea, Mr. Obama? It wasn’t from John McCain.)
45. “The fact is that although we have had a president who is opposed to abortion over the last eight years, abortions have not gone down.” False (I know you Liberals hate real facts, but the fact is, they went down under George W. Bush.)
46. Oil companies “haven’t touched” 68 million acres where they already have rights to drill. False (68 million acres isn’t going untouched. You keep on making this stuff up and I’ll do my best to expose you.)
47. Fully inflating tires is “a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent.” False (Not on this planet but there are millions of suckers who believe whatever you say, and that is why you just keep making this stuff up. I was taught to call it lying. How about you?)
48. John McCain refuses to support a new bipartisan energy bill “because it would take away tax breaks from oil companies like Exxon Mobil.” False (McCain has not commented on the bill at all.)
49. The U.S. government spends less on energy innovation “than the pet food industry invests in its own products.” False (Pure baloney! What we should spend research money on is how stop our leaders from lying to us.)
50. “Our National Guard, as we saw in the Midwest flooding, can’t function as effectively as it could. I was talking to National Guard representatives. Fifteen of their 17 helicopters in this region were overseas during the flooding.” False (There was no shortage of helicopters for floods. I really wish you would resign. It is truly awful having such a grossly dishonest president of my country.)
51. “I think we came down here (to Florida) one time … but we weren’t actively fund-raising here.” False (Obama held fundraisers.)
52. “I have never said that I don’t wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins.” False (Obama contradicts his previously stated pin philosophy.)
53. “We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years.” False
54. “Hillary Clinton believed NAFTA was a ‘boon’ to our economy.” False (She never said it.)
55. “As has been noted by many observers, including Bill Clinton’s former secretary of labor, my plan does more than anybody to reduce costs.” False (Experts rate Dem plans about the same.)
56. “She said, you know, ‘I voted for it, but I hoped it wouldn’t pass.’ That was a quote on live TV.” False (That’s not the actual quote.)
57. Americans “have never paid more for gas at the pump.” False (He needs a fill-up on statistics.)
58. “I know that Hillary on occasion has said — just last year said this (NAFTA) was a boon to the economy.” False (There is no evidence she said that.)
59. “Gas prices have never been higher, and Exxon Mobil’s profits have never been higher.” False (He’s a year too late on this energy claim.)
60. “If we went back to the obesity rates that existed in 1980, that would save the Medicare system a trillion dollars.” False (He just makes it up.)
61. “John wasn’t this raging populist four years ago” when he ran for president. False (Edwards tagged ‘populist’ early on.)
62. “Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change.” False (Lightning strikes, but not like the feds.)
63. If African-Americans vote their percentage of the population in 2008, “Mississippi is suddenly a Democratic state.” False (By itself, black voter increase does not flip Mississippi & mdash; or the South.)

Bye Bye Miss American Pie

The day the music died …

Twelve long days have passed since the re-election of Barack Obama. Since then I have started to write a new post about the election at least five separate times. I didn’t finish any of them and instead of finishing this one I have chosen to share someone else’s post with you. The author was able to say what I’ve been thinking and feeling better than I can right now. Billy, an old boyhood friend of mine and retired Air Force career man, sent the post to me. It is from a blog entitled Casual Sundays With Mr. Curry.

Gobsmacked

Well, It’s official; I don’t know anything.

I thought for sure that given such a clear choice, Americans would vote for love of country over revenge.

I was wrong.

I thought, that just as every presidential election in my lifetime, the bad economy would be hung around the incumbent’s neck, sinking him.

I was wrong.

I thought that even those few Americans who were fortunate enough to still be fully employed (not counting those leeching off the public system) would be cognizant of how much pain their neighbors were in and elect someone who would at least try to make improvements.

I was wrong.

I thought that now that FINALLY some of the disturbing truths about our first black president had come to light, voters would reject a man so dangerously at odds with the American experience.

I was wrong.

I thought the 2010 elections and the Tea Party meant something.

I thought the enthusiasm on display at Romney/Ryan events, contrasted with the lack of same at Obama/Biden events meant something.

I thought Americans would never sell their liberty for the sake of trinkets like cell phones or even big shiny lies like ‘free health care’.

I was wrong.

Never in a million years would I have supposed that America would support a president who left his (our) people to die at the hands of our enemies overseas without lifting a hand to help, then lie about what he watched in real time for over two weeks, then lie about the lie for another month.

I was wrong.

I thought Americans could tell a hawk from a handsaw.

I was wrong.

We were offered the clearest choice we’ve had since 1980, where we had malaise and a misery index on one hand and a shining city on a hill on the other. Back then, we chose the city on the hill. This time the choice was between a man who says 7.9% unemployment and $4.00 gas is the new normal and a guy whose entire career has been about fixing broken entities.

We chose to stay broken. And Broke.

Maybe I’m wrong about the ramifications of this choice. Maybe windmills will actually turn out to be a viable energy source. Maybe America diminished will be loved overseas. Maybe a nuclear Iran won’t be a threat. Maybe Israel is over reacting. Maybe western civilization was always over rated. Maybe life under sharia is fun. Maybe when the rest of the world realizes that we have no intention of ever paying back that $16,000,000,000,000.00 (and counting) that we’ve borrowed from them, they won’t devalue the dollar, causing hyper inflation here at home. Maybe China will just keep on giving us money and not demand our hearts, souls, national monuments and marriageable daughters as payment.

I’ve watched my candidate lose elections before but I’ve never felt the way I did last night when this one was called for Obama.

It wasn’t bitterness or sadness or even disappointment. It took me a while to figure out what it was. Then it hit me; it was horror.

Pure, unadulterated horror.

Not because of Obama, but because of what it says about us, the American people, that we chose this.

It shouldn’t have even been close. Faced with the choice between taking charge of our destiny and tackling our financial problems, we opted to get high and have sex. We re-elected a guy who doesn’t understand that a growing economy that creates more tax payers will bring in more revenue than higher taxes. A Commander in Chief who doesn’t know our military still uses bayonets. A man who wants to control the economy without even knowing the difference between bankruptcy and liquidation. It was one thing to elect an unknown quantity, buying his line of ‘Hope and Change’. It’s something else to deliberately choose his failed policies over someone who has actually achieved success in life. I never dreamed America would do that.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, Hello Idiocracy!

Goodbye, recovery.

Goodbye, energy independence.

Goodbye, religious liberty.

Goodbye, liberty and justice for all.

Goodbye, American dream.

It profits a man nothing to lose his soul for the whole world but we threw ours away for cell phones and birth control pills.

In the twentieth century (the American Century), we stepped up to the plate three times and saved the rest of the world from fascism, nazism and communism. We were the cavalry, always riding to the rescue.

Now, we’ve gotten rid of our horses, spent all our money on windmills, alienated our allies, bowed to our enemies, cut ourselves off from our own natural resources thrown away our children’s birthright and spent their inheritance.

And we did it on purpose.

When the wolf is at the door (and he’s coming, yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’) we’re going to find out that there is no one out there to come to our rescue.

On the bright side, maybe it’ll all turn out great. After all, I don’t know anything.

The Great American Con Job!

Fox News, C-SPAN, and more.

You should have no further questions
about Barack Obama after watching these videos!

PART I

PART II

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BIOIdxfdmo?rel=0]

If these Obama Tell All Videos didn’t clear up any lingering questions you may have had, frankly, I hope you do our country a great service by not voting this year. Whether you can bring yourself to accept it or not, Barack Obama is a very dishonest man—probably the most dishonest president in U.S. history—and it is naive to think that our friends and enemies around the world don’t know this as well.

We not only deserve better, we have always had better. It is not about Democrat or Republican, it is about the survival of our nation.

“Slick Willy” Clinton Has Obama’s Back

You lie and I’ll swear to it.

The Bill Clinton DNC speech was exactly what one would expect from Slick Willy. Until the election of Barack Obama, Slick Willy Clinton was perhaps the most dishonest president in U.S. History. But with less than four years in office, Obama has managed to make Clinton look like Honest Abe. Okay, not quite. The point is, Obama holds the title but I wouldn’t trust either one of them with a bowl of my favorite cereal. So who does Obama hire to tell the world that his failed presidency is an illusion, that he is really a great president and deserves to be reelected? – Slick Willy Clinton of course—biggest liar number two! These guys are serial liars. And yes, I would say the same thing if it were true of a Republican. I’ve said it many times, I call them like I see them.

Here’s the deal. At best, Obama’s radical Liberal policies have resulted in the worst and longest “recovery” from a recession since the Great Depression. That is not only a fact, it is being kind. So there was Obama, in deep trouble with the smart voters who actually know his record, the Democratic National Convention was around the corner, and he was desperately searching for a master political illusionist other than himself. He needed someone who could make the audience see success while they looked straight in the face of failure. He needed someone with no conscience who practiced the dark art of deceit as skillfully as he did. It was easy. So easy, I’d bet, that he had the answer before he had a chance to ask the question.

He gave Slick Willy a call and said something like, “Hey Bill, I know I lied a little about you and your wife Hillary during the ’08 campaign, but hey man, politics is a … well you know. Anyway, party comes first. Right? Oh, and I’m sorry I called you a racist, but you of all people know that winning is what it’s all about. Anything else is for the suckers. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Come on man, you’re King Truth Warper! Well, that is until I came along. Anyway, as you might have noticed, I kinda messed up the country a little bit and if that Romney guy gets elected he’ll fix everything and that won’t be good for either one of us. He’ll get elected to a second term and there goes Hillary’s shot at 2016. So what do you say? I’ll give you top billing at the convention. You know how our people are, they believe anything we say. In fact they believe it before we say it. They love you, man. Just go out there and tell everyone how smart I am and how important it is to give me some more time. It’s not for me, it’s for the party and Hillary.”

So Slick Willy did what Slick Willy does best. He stood up there in front of his loyal cult and tried to con the world into believing that Barack Obama was actually a pretty good president. Other than lying about Monica Lewinsky, it must have been his toughest con yet.

But just for the heck of it, let’s peek behind the curtain.

Slick Willy said: “… since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats, 24. In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private sector jobs. So what’s the job score? Republicans, 24 million; Democrats, 42 (million). (Cheers, applause.)

The inconvenient truth: Over half of the total jobs created under Democrats were from Clinton’s own Presidency. They were produced during an internet dotcom boom that later collapsed. He also failed to mention that Republicans controlled Congress during 6 out of 8 years of his Presidency and that it was the Republicans under the leadership of Newt Gingrich that basically forced Clinton into balancing the budgets and other policies that led to job creation.

Slick Willy said: “It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.”

The inconvenient truth: When Democrats use the word “investment” they are really talking about spending. They just don’t want to tell you what they are actually doing. Even so, the balanced budgets Clinton signed cut the very “investments” he was talking about. Another thing he didn’t mention was that he and the Republicans held spending down to about 18% of GDP, but under Obama it is now over 24% of GDP. That is a huge difference and a real problem for all of us.

Slick Willy said: “One of the main reasons we ought to re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to constructive cooperation.”

The inconvenient truth: WOW! I’m impressed! Even Slick Willy should have had a problem getting that one out. Maybe someone who had been on the planet for about five minutes could believe it, but certainly no one else. Any number of non-partisan studies have shown that Barack Obama is one of our most divisive presidents, ever. Not that anyone would need a study to know that. It’s his way or the highway. Every one of Obama’s major legislative initiatives passed on party lines. And even though he says he always sought Republican input, when he got it, he rejected it. Obamacare was shoved down our throats in one of the most politically corrupt displays of bullying in our history. Cooperation? Anything but. At one point he actually said this, “[Republicans] can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

Slick Willy said: “… the Senate Republican leader said in a remarkable moment of candor two full years before the election, their number one priority was not to put America back to work; it was to put the president out of work.”

The inconvenient truth: This is a classic lie-by-re-writing. He changed the meaning, which was that in order to get Americans back to work, we need to put President Obama out of work. But it gets worse: Obama himself had put many issues ahead of job creation. He spent his first two years jamming Obamacare through Congress while he should have been working to help Americans get back to work.

Slick Willy Said: “[Republicans] want to the same old policies that got us in trouble in the first place.”

The inconvenient Truth: Like Obama and the Democrats, Clinton just made that one up. They keep saying it because they know it sounds good and that most Americans don’t know the truth. But it is factually untrue. That is why they never back up the statement with examples. Romney’s plan, which is on his website, lists policies that have worked time and again. They worked for Kennedy and Reagan and they would work again now. It is the Liberal Obama policies—the very same ones that are in place right now—that never worked before and are not working now.

Slick Willy said: “They want to cut taxes for high-income Americans, even more than President Bush did.”

The inconvenient truth: First, Romney wants to get rid of many tax loopholes across the board, including those of high-income Americans and he wants to simplify the tax code and lower taxes on everyone.

Second, Democrats have been lying about the Bush tax cuts for years. Allow me to set the record straight: The Bush tax cuts helped virtually all Americans. In fact, to show how dishonest Clinton, Obama, and the Democrats are, think of this: When Bush was president they accused him of giving tax cuts to the wealthy only. They called them “The Bush Tax Cuts For The Wealthy.” They said they did not help the middle-class at all. But now that Obama is president and the Bush tax cuts will expire at the end of the year, Obama says he wants to get rid of the Bush tax cuts for upper-income people and keep the Bush tax cuts for the middle-class. Really? I thought there were no Bush tax cuts for the middle-class. How can you keep something you said was not there? But hey, they lie so often, you can’t really expect them to remember them all.

Slick Willy said: “They want to get rid of those pesky financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and prohibit future bailouts.”

The inconvenient truth: I challenge Clinton or Obama to point to any regulations that Romney wants to get rid of that would “… prevent another crash and prohibit future bailouts.” Again, Clinton and the others simply make things up that they know will sound good to Americans who don’t have the time to check on everything they say. Furthermore, it was a lack of regulations at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that triggered our financial crisis, and it was the Republicans that tried to get new regulations put in place to prevent a financial crisis. And it was the Democrats that blocked any new regulations. (See Bush Failed Economic Policies and Obama Blames Bush For Our Financial Crisis)

Slick Willy said: “When President Barack Obama took office, the economy was in free fall. It had just shrunk 9 full percent of GDP. We were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Are we doing better than that today? The answer is yes.”

The inconvenient truth: It would be real nice if Slick Willy had experienced some kind of spiritual epiphany by now, but one can only dream of such things. Here again, he spins the numbers to make them look like something other than what they are. He compares the worst part of the recession to today and asks if we are better off instead of asking how the Obama “recovery” compares to other recoveries. In other words, if we ask if we are doing better now than we were doing when Obama took office, the answer is a resounding NO.

Since January 2009 when Obama took over, unemployment is up, annual household income is down by more than $4000, the price of gas at the pump has more than doubled, food, clothing, etc. are more costly and still rising, the housing market it still in shambles, and Obama has added a frightening $5.4 trillion to the national debt. It is a fact that Obama’s so-called recovery is the worst recovery from a recession 83 years!

(I need a full-time fact-checker to keep up with Slick Willy and the Liar In Chief.)

Slick Willy said: “The president’s energy strategy, which he calls ‘all of the above,’ is helping too. The boom in oil and gas production, combined with greater energy efficiency, has driven oil imports to a near-20- year low and natural gas production to an all-time high. And renewable energy production has doubled.”

The inconvenient truth: Actually, Obama does not even have an “all of the above” energy strategy. It doesn’t exist! Slick Willy did the same sleight-of-hand trick that Obama does so often. (They’re both so darn good at it.)

Here’s how their trick works: First, they tell you there is a “ boom in oil and gas production” so now you have in your mind this wonderful vision of oil and gas flowing out of pipes all over the country. Then they imply that Obama has caused the industry to create new efficiencies, which with all the new oil and gas, have “… driven oil imports to a near-20- year low and natural gas production to an all-time high.” Finally, they tell us that “… renewable energy production has doubled.”

Here’s the problem: While oil production has increased, the increase is far from a “boom.” And then there is this: The increase in production is on private land where Obama can’t stop it. They don’t mention that, nor do they mention that we could actually have a real boom but for the fact that Obama and his regulatory bullies have restricted production on public lands. In other words, the increase in oil and gas production that Obama and Slick Willy brag about is happening in spite of Obama, not because of him. As though that is not bad enough, Obama will not approve the construction of the Keystone Pipeline from Canada, which would increase the flow of friendly foreign oil, decrease our dependency on unfriendly foreign oil, and create tens of thousands of new jobs in the U.S. Finally, Obama by his own admission is literally destroying the U.S. coal industry.

Oh, and about the “… renewable energy production has doubled.” thing? It’s kind of doubled from miniscule to twice miniscule. It not only remains a very small part of our energy production, the Obama renewable energy program is riddled with cronyism and corruption and countless millions of taxpayer dollars have been squandered on failed projects that put a lot of money in the pockets of Obama supporters. That is how your president redistributes your money. Think Solyndra.

Slick Willy said: “Even more important, after a decade in which exploding college costs have increased the dropout rate so much that the percentage of our young people with four-year college degrees has gone down so much that we have dropped to 16th in the world in the percentage of young people with college degrees.

So the president’s student loan is more important than ever. Here’s what it does — (cheers, applause) — here’s what it does. You need to tell every voter where you live about this. It lowers the cost of federal student loans. And even more important, it give students the right to repay those loans as a clear, fixed, low percentage of their income for up to 20 years. (Cheers, applause.)

Now what does this mean? What does this mean? Think of it. It means no one will ever have to drop out of college again for fear they can’t repay their debt.”

The inconvenient truth: So first he implies that student loans are hard to get even though they may actually be too easy to get. They are so readily available that many studies claim that this contributes to the sky-rocketing cost of tuition. They say that the Obama policies make it too easy for students to take out ever more and bigger loans, which in turn encourages schools to raise their tuition. The result is that students end up with more debt and less relative value from their degrees. It’s a vicious cycle and one more example of unintended consequences from vote-getting, specious liberal policies.

A Moody’s analysis warned:

[u]nless students limit their debt burdens, choose fields of study that are in demand, and successfully complete their degrees on time, they will find themselves in worse financial positions and unable to earn the projected income that justified taking out their loans in the first place.”

So do you think for a minute that Obama or for that matter, Slick Willy, really care about what happens to these students later? I do not think so. It’s all about power—getting the votes and winning an election. They are demagogues.

That’s enough. I’ll just wrap it up with one last big Slick Willy lie.

Out of all the incredibly dishonest claims made by Slick Willy at the Democratic National Convention, the one that seems to have stuck in the minds of the American people more than all the others was this: “No president could have “magically” fixed the economy in one term”. When I heard those words flow out Slick Willy’s lying mouth, I thought “Oh boy, that’s going to mean a lot to people who don’t know any better.”

So if some of you who thought that might convince you to stick with Obama for another four years, listen to what I have to tell you. Not only could someone else fix the economy in four years, someone did. As Slick Willy would say, “Now listen to me.” Ronald Reagan faced a deep recession left over from Jimmy Carter. It was the worst recession since the Great Depression of the thirties. In many ways it was worse than Obama’s. I remember it very clearly. Interest rates were sky high, people were literally fighting at gas stations because there was a shortage of gasoline, and—thanks to the policies of Jimmy Carter, which are eerily being mirrored by Obama—overall all, the economy was a monumental mess and Carter had lost control of the problems in the Middle East. Sound familiar?

But the policies Reagan implemented were very different than Obama’s—and so were the results. Reagan claimed that fifty years of misguided liberal policies had over burdened the free market with taxes and regulations and that, along with government over spending, it had drained the free market of its natural vitality. (Exactly what Romney is saying now.) Reagan’s plan: Get “the government off the backs of the American people” by cutting taxes, slashing spending, and cutting back on counter productive regulations. Again, does this sound familiar? It should because that is where we are now.

Did Reagan’s plan work?

Real per capita GDP increased by nearly 23% and the stock market more than tripled in value. The Reagan recovery created almost 25 million net new jobs, or about 344,900 jobs per month. His policies ushered in the the longest peacetime period of unbroken economic expansion ever seen in American history. Remember, Mitt Romney is proposing the same kinds of Reagan policies. You know, the ones that work. On the other hand, President Obama is asking us to let him try his policies for another four years. You know, the ones that haven’t worked for him or anyone else who has tried them. So the choice should be obvious to anyone who is paying attention.

Really, this is not complicated

You don’t hire a college professor to fix your plumbing and you don’t hire a neighborhood organizer who has literally never managed or run anything to govern a nation—especially the most powerful and influential nation in the world. You don’t believe the words of the two most dishonest presidents in U.S. history. You just don’t.

Finally, you don’t hang on to ideas about someone that are factually untrue. Barack Obama’s record as president—as compared to all our other presidents—is at the very least one of the worst and is probably the worst. He may also be the most dishonest president in our history. To think otherwise is delusional because all of what I just said is well documented. It’s not personal. It’s not about race or anything other than what is real and true. I have fought against bigotry throughout my entire life. I despise it. So when I write these things I write them with a clear mind and heart. This is about the survival and future of our country.

We are being asked to give up what has made us great.

This is very serious because this is one of the most important elections in history. We are being asked to choose between our traditional form of government and economic system—the one that has made us the most powerful, successful country in world history for a much different big government, nanny-state system, which has been tried without success many times before. Personally, I cannot think of one single sane reason to do that.

More than ever before, we need to be mature and wise when we go into the polling booth to choose who will lead us for the next four years. If you are not taking this seriously or you are not well informed, do yourself and your country a favor and please don’t vote. You see, a dumb vote cancels out a smart vote and we need all the smart votes we can get right now.
