President Obama continues his new stride as he chides Republicans for their failed prognostications. Democratic politicians encouraged his silence during the 2014 elections. Imagine what could have been if Americans had realized they had something to vote for. Imagine if Americans had believed that those pushing a relatively progressive agenda believed in that agenda and was willing to fight for that agenda.
Back in January President Obama chided Republicans for their newfound love for the American poor and the American middle class. On Wednesday he did more than that. He pointed out how off base Republicans' willful deceptive prognostication of his policies were.
Now, I want to return to the issue of the debate that we were having then because it bears on the debate we’re having now. It’s important to note that at every step that we've taken over the past six years we were told our goals were misguided; they were too ambitious; that my administration’s policies would crush jobs and explode deficits, and destroy the economy forever. Remember that? Because sometimes we don’t do the instant replay, we don’t run the tape back, and then we end up having the same argument going forward.
The president then reminded America what specific Republicans said his economic policies would do to destroy the American economy.
One Republican in Congress warned our policies would diminish employment and diminish stock prices. Diminish stock prices. (Laughter.) The stock market has doubled since I came into office. Corporate profits are -- corporate balance sheets are stronger than they have ever been -- because of my terrible business policies.
The above can be attributed to Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Mitt Romney.
i have to acknowledge he and his admin failed us by not getting out there and addressing every lie when it was told and every time it was retold, we would have seen a different outcome if they had just dropped the knowledge on us and not allow republicans to define not only him but his entire agenda.
those who bought their lies well when someone offers you affordable real healthcare and offers to help pay for it how stupid do you have to be to not see there was to strings just those who opposed trying to deny you because they didn't want Pres. to be victorious or as they put it "look good". ask yourself why are they still trying to do it now that it's law and working??????
