Reader’s Write: Obama’s actions don’t live up to his words

The Island Now

President Obama’s “charisma” plus his huge entitlement programs, talked 51.1 percent of the electorate into voting for him. 

That’s all? His media cronies at MSNBC make it sound as if he were so much more popular. In Obama’s new welfare state, 50 percent of the population receives some form of government subsidy and 50 percent don’t pay any income tax at all. 

This latter group don’t care if he raise taxes, because they don’t pay any taxes of their own. Our socialistic president is doing quite well, living at the White House!

Barack Obama “sounds” so genuine and sincere. 

Gradually, however, you have learned to watch what he does, not what he promises. Even his most ardent supporters now have difficulty separating his unemotional, cliche-filled speeches, from his actual domestic and foreign policies. Everyone knows about the “you can keep you own doctor.”  I’m tired of hearing about “a slow, steady recovery” and being “one nation among all the others.” 

What a comedown! Our enemies don’t fear us anymore, and our friends can’t count on us.  

We are an international joke and a national disaster. But, in Obama-land, everyone else gets the blame. That’s everyone, of course, except the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

1 – Remember his promise  to bring us all together, rich and poor, black and white, old and young. Christian and Jew? 

Unfortunately, this never materialized. In fact, the schism got even worse. President Obama has no one to blame for that but himself. For someone whose resume included being a “neighborhood organizer” he just is not very good at organizing any neighborhood. 

His game plan always excuses his failures, blames others, and demonizes his opponents. It tiresome always blaming the Tea Party.

2 – Five Years ago, the new president said his supercharged vice president, Joe Biden, would go through the budget, line by line, item by item, and remove enough pork and waste to finance all of his big government programs!  What happened Joe?  What happened Barack? Instead, you have spent more money in your first 4 years,  than all the other Presidents combined!  

a – Our national debt is now well over $17 trillion, and rising.

b – We are paying $1 trillion dollars in student loans, ( a 60 percent increase since you took office! And worse , one in 10 students are now delinquent in their payments!).

c –  we are paying $78 billion in food stamps (1 in 7 Americans receive them now and they have doubled since Obama was elected),  

d – he is spending an astonishing $237 billion a years for Social Security disability payments, and

e –  ObamaCare alone is costing us $2 trillion.

All you progressives out there, should be so proud of your socialist president now!  But for  the first time in my lifetime, the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded by Moody, simply because of this relentless deficit spending.  

You can’t blame that on the Tea Party!

To show how “streamlined” his Social Security Disability program has become, after five years under Obama, the White House proudly announced, that “only” 1 percent of all disability payments were fraudulent! 

Way to go, Joe! Maybe another Nobel Prize for this team! Going thru your budget, as only a man with your intellect and financial expertise can do, you really did the trick. 

The problem Joe, is that the Government Accountability Office still exists! Better get rid of them! 

In August, the GAO had “the audacity”to published your details.    

First, let’s understand the program’s scope and cost. Under the Obama administration’s “extraordinary” leadership, you are paying  8.2 million disabled workers, an unbelievable 137 billion in disability benefits. Do you believe that? $137 billion! You have created a permanent disabled class.  Wow! 

This was, by far and away, the highest in US history ! A glorious day for socialism.

After  5 years, you have finally uncovered some fraud. I better say this slowly so that all you free spending progressives out there will understand the scope of your lunacy. Our inefficient and totally incapable Social Security Administration, gas been paying an unbelievable  $1.3 billion dollars in improper disability payments to 36,000 workers  “who still had jobs and still got a disability payment anyway.”

You can’t blame that on the Tea  Party!

3 –  More “great” news out of Washington! His job creation policies must be really working! Ask the New York Times! 

After all, Obama’s Labor Department announced two months ago, that the number of U.S. workers applying for jobless benefits dropped by 31,000 in the week ending Sept. 7! This was the lowest since April 2006!  

But just a minute! Hold on! Better look someplace else for a reason to celebrate. It seems like “computer troubles,” in two unnamed states produced  this faulty jobless claim’s report and not Obama’s policies.  

Do we trust any government economic number?

You can’t blame that on the Tea Party.

4 – But even with those “faulty numbers,” didn’t Obama’s policies produce “millions of  new shovel-ready jobs“? 

Remember that? Shovel-ready! Sounded so great!! After all, how many times have you heard Channel 4 say it? 

Every liberal I know believes CNN! Every Democrat quotes Newsweek! Except, of course all the Liberal-Democrats, who lost their own jobs.

Here comes the biggest Obama lie yet.  

Reuters could not keep Obama’s secret any longer! They announced last month that the latest statistics revealed that 3 out of 4 (that’s right, 75 percent!) of all “new” jobs produced by Obama’s policies last year were temporary or part time! Really? 

Our “brilliant” electorate still listens to Obama’s speeches and believes that his full-time job’s program is really a full-time job’s program.

You can’t blame that on the Tea Party

5 –  ObamaCare was the best thing ever for business and their workers. Right? Just ask Chris Matthews.

a)  The UPS  announced last month that they were cutting off all health benefits to working spouses of thousands of their employees starting in 2014! 

Why?? Simply because of the higher costs related to ObamaCare .

b – Think this is an isolated case? Think again! 

It didn’t take long for the truth to come out. A survey by a consultant firm, Towers Watson and Co. found that 44 percent of all companies ( that’s right, every company!!) plan to stop administering health plans for all their former workers within two years!! 

Got it? 

All you Obamacare supporters! All you retirees ? Understand now, how bad socialized medicine really is? 

And to make it worse, many of these spouses and retirees  are now considered uninsured and they will go into ObamaCare’s public exchanges.

Guess who pays for them now? You got it!!  

We, the taxpayers!
