Favorability poll shows that in spite of the GOP's continued false attacks and accusations about President Obama, the american people are now beginning to see a clear contrast and misrepresentation of what the GOP is saying and what is REALLY happening in the country. After listening to John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, the entire GOP controlled house and all of the GOP 2012 candidates, flood the airways day after day stating "This President has done NOTHING to create jobs", the american people are now finding out that the REALTRUTH is President Obama created 3.2 million jobs in two years. The unemployment rate dropping from over 9% that the Bush Administration created to 8.5%. This is more jobs than George W. Bush created in his entire eight years as President. The republicans then continue to falsely attack the Presidents stimulus package, calling it a failure. Again, the REAL TRUTH is the stimulus kept this country from going into a depression that most economist were sure we were headed for.
Mitt Romney stated emphatically that if Obama bailed out the auto industry it would be a disaster for this country. Proven wrong yet again, the auto bailout was a huge sucess and the auto industry is back even stronger. Romney is also attacking the Presidents healthcare reform plan calling it (Obamacare) while trying to hide the fact that he initiated the same plan in his state and was seen on a video not only praising the plan but saying how the people in his state "loved it." The REAL TRUTH is the Presidents healthcare reform plan is now saving lives and providing urgently needed healthcare to many americans. For the entire GOP house and all of the GOP 2012 candidates to insist on getting rid of this plan in its entirety, not even suggesting to make changes to strengthen it, lacks a serious amount of compassion and concern for those 45,000 americans who died each year from having NO healthcare coverage. Yet they fight to get even more tax cuts for the rich. We can see clearly where their priorities are.
Another deception was when the GOP called the President weak in handling foreign affairs, etc. The REAL TRUTH is this President used navy seals to capture and kill more than 20 of the most wanted terrorist, not to mention using navy seals to rescue american hostages, making it safer for americans. He has also improved our foreign relations with other countries which was negative during the Bush administration. Along with the Presidents 244 accomplishments in his first two years in office (more than any other President in history), he continues to make extraordinary accomplishments. THIS IS A FAR CRY FROM FAILURE AMERICA.
Isan't it time we ask ourselves the most serious and important question? Like why do republicans and tea party representatives continue to call EVERYTHING this President accomplishes a failure? Why all of the lies? Did the Presidents 244 accomplishments scare the GOP? If one can govern or run for President based on THEIR own merits, it would not be necessary to falsely attack and misinform the american people.
There are reasons for this type of inexcusable behavior. Mitch McConnell made it very clear after the President took office. He stated that "their #1 priority was to make Obama a one term President." The key words here is "their #1 priority" and "to make." Using a hateful ideology, deception, misinformation and fear while holding important legislation hostage shows that the GOP controlled house as well as the 2012 candidates will do ANYTHING to stop this President from moving the country forward and that they meant what they said. The GOP's FEAR of this Presidents success and recognition, FEAR of loss of power, FEAR of a democratic President cleaning up their mess showing their incompetence and failures and FEAR that changes will be made to take away their power to appease the rich, is why they are driven by this very hateful ideology.
A CBS new poll showed 91% of americans approved of the Presidents state of the union message. An unusually high number. The Presidents message reminded us and made clear just how badly the GOP has mislead and deceived the american people and the false picture of failure, gloom and doom (using fear) to make their " #1 priority" "make Obama a one term President" a reality.
The GOP - A Party of FEAR and FAILURE?
We got it right in 2008 when we unified and voted for Obama. Don't be deceived again. Obama 2012 WITHOUT QUESTION.
