GOP: Obama Never Flies in Helicopters

2. From a “leading
GOP presidential hopeful” – Sen. Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz (R-TX). His vision
for America
after the November 2014 election with the GOP in total control of Congress
(which BTW, they achieved) are contained in this is statement of purpose (I
guess):
“Republicans are poised
to take control of Congress. We should set our sights on three big goals to
make Americans feel confident in their futures once again: (1) jumpstart the
economy, (2) safeguard constitutional liberties, and (3) strengthen our
national security.”
Here are ten critical priorities for the 2015 Congress (click
article to see each one). I didn’t really want to post them here – so check them
out. Ironically, many GOPers subscribe to those same items in one form or
another, so it should be interesting between now and November 2016.
3. Now
the biggie from the GOP Song and Dance page: (1) Obama is a
lousy president, (2) his policies and especially ACA (Obama-care) is a “job
killers, (3) ad
Intro to that piece and as the above jobs chart reflects, shows clearly that the
GOP does not know their collective ass from a hole in the ground, i.e.., Republicans
have consistently said that a president cannot take responsibility for a strong
economy — unless of course he’s a Republican.
A weak economy, however, is always a Democratic
president’s fault. And if a Republican president presides over the worst
financial crisis in a half-century after seven years in office that is clearly the fault of poor people.
President Obama is in an awkward position when it comes to
the economy. It’s only great if you compare it to the last 14 years. But with 50 percent of America now saying in the latest CNN
poll that his presidency is a success, and he figures he’s allowed to “take a well-earned victory lap” by answering the question
Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) asked for four years: “Where are the jobs?”
Um, … (1) after 12 million new jobs, (2) a stock market that
has more than doubled, (3) deficits that have been cut by two-thirds, (4) health
care inflation at the lowest rate in nearly 50 years (and the uninsured rate is
less than 10%), (5) manufacturing coming back, (6) the auto industry came back,
and (7) clean energy doubled, etc., etc., etc., well, the GOP is still beside
itself with excuses and blame – but they really should glance in the nearest
mirror.
Thanks for stopping by. Oh, yeah, sorry Mr. and Mrs. Gee Old
Poops for being so tough, but you earned every thing I have said and then some …
congrats.
