BigNews.Biz - May 06,2012 - Four Years Of Broken Promises For Virginia
“Nearly four years ago, President Obama promised Virginians that he would jumpstart our nation’s economy. But after years of failed economic policies that have left nearly twenty-three million Americans struggling for work, it’s clear President Obama doesn’t have what it takes to get our economy moving again.” –Amanda Henneberg, Romney Campaign Spokesperson
Today, President Obama Will Hold A Kick-Off Rally For His Re-Election Campaign In Virginia:
President Obama Will Hold A Campaign Rally Today In Richmond. “The campaign is also planning to dispatch staff and local surrogates to Obama's rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, where the president is expected to speak at 4:35 p.m. ET.” (Holly Bailey, “Obama’s Re-Election Rallies On Saturday To Be Blitzed By Romney Campaign,” Yahoo News, 5/4/12)
But Nearly Four Years Later, Virginians Are Still Waiting For President Obama To Fulfill The Promises He Made During His Last Campaign For President:
Candidate Obama, In Virginia: “Wages Are Lower Than They’ve Been In A Decade, At A Time When The Cost Of Health Care And College Have Never Been Higher.” OBAMA: “Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the cost of health care and college have never been higher. It's getting harder and harder to make the mortgage, or fill up your gas tank, or even keep the electricity on at the end of the month. At this rate, the question isn't just ‘are you better off than you were four years ago?’, it's ‘are you better off than you were four weeks ago?’” (Senator Barack Obama, Remarks, Richmond, VA, 10/22/08)
•Since President Obama Took Office, Median Household Income Has Declined By $4,300. “Yet real median household income in March was down $4,300 since Obama took office in January 2009 and down $2,900 since the June 2009 start of the economic recovery, according to an analysis of census data by Sentier Research, an economic- consulting firm in Annapolis, Maryland.” (Mike Dorning, “Obama Fails To Stem Middle-Class Slide He Blamed On Bush,” Bloomberg, 4/30/12)
•The Richmond Times-Dispatch: Obamacare Will “Raise Health Care Costs, The Deficit, Taxes, And Insurance Premiums.” “The critics’ predictions -- it’s going to raise health care costs, the deficit, taxes, and insurance premiums, make getting medical care more complex, and help fewer people than advertised -- are coming true already. Members of the public understand this all too well.” (Editorial, “Health Care: ‘You Dummies,’” The Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/27/10)
•Under President Obama, The Average Cost Of College Has Increased By 25% At Four-Year Public Schools Across The Country. (“Trends In College Pricing,” College Board, 2011)
Candidate Obama, In Virginia: “I’ll Also Put Two Million More Americans To Work…” OBAMA: “I'll also put two million more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling roads, schools, and bridges - because it is time to build an American infrastructure for the 21st century.” (Senator Barack Obama, Remarks, Richmond, VA, 10/22/08)
•During President Obama’s Time In Office, The Nation Has Lost 572,000 Jobs And The Unemployment
