Obama the savior?    The facts say not quite!


     When Obama ran for election in 2008, he promised millions of new jobs all by his hand.   Many in the Green Energy Market.  Instead he ended up costing us Billions in Taxpayer dollars so far and few if any new jobs were ever created.

  Here is a list of the companies that took taxpayer money and then either failed to produce jobs and green energy or went out of business entirely.

     Keep in mind that Obama waisted Billions of taxpayer funds as you hear that he is giving back 5% of his $400,000.   Yearly income  (an amount totally $20,000) or that they are shutting down the White House Tour office because of the Sequestor.  Even though most of the White House Tour Office employees were either volunteers or worked part time.

   But as bad as these numbers are, this is not why I am typing this post. 

   I am typing this post because The White House was espousing the fact that the Unemployment figures dropped again in March but according to the Governments own information the reason why the Unemployment numbers dropped even a little is because thousands of unemployed fell off the Unemployment rolls because they simply could not find a job while on Unemployment.

   Millions, including myself, are working part time hours because they cannot find full time work.  Yes I am working two jobs to fill that gap but obviously not all are that lucky.

   Construction, Health care, and Hospitality all recorded small increases for the month of March but Retail recorded a massive decrease in jobs in March.

    A decrease caused in part by Obama's own repeal of Bushes Payroll tax reprieve.

    Remember that tax? Remember how Obama said he would only tax the rich but come 1/1/13 all employees, rich and poor alike found them being taxed?

  Well that Obama tax increase is in part what is causing a melt down in retail and movies nation wide.  Yes the amount taken from our checks is a small amount but that small amount can be one less movie and or even one less shirt or socks or something else and that hurts those industries.

   As I keep bringing up Liberals and Obama and his followers tend to forget about the law of unintended consequences.

   Obama did not intend for the Economy to die, nor did he want to cause it.  But his own actions have had that exact effect.

   And what is Obama's line of Goon's Hooligans and kool aid drinkers saying on National TV?   Oh yes that is right because the Rich are still finding too many loop holes to hold onto their money.

   Again as I keep saying, you cannot keep robbing from the Rich to pay for our failures and bad spending.

   Taxation has never and never will push a nation into prosperity.

    Our nation has a long history of success but only when the Government backs off and lets private industry in the US do what it does best.  And that is innovate, innovation creates jobs not the government.

   FDR tried for 12 years to use the government to create new jobs, it never worked.  Only when the Private sector got back on its feet enough, it could and did bring jobs back to the US.

  But yet again Obama now thinks he can do something FDR, Lyndon Johnson and other liberals before him thought they could do.   All with the same amount of FAILURE!
