Summer Stats

As summer rolls in, so to do the overwhelming facts and statistics that demonstrate how President Obama's plans are not working.

The administration projected that if the stimulus package was passed, unemployment would not go higher than 8%. They also cautioned that if the package was not passed, unemployment could reach as high as 9%. As we know all too well, the spending package did indeed pass, but the unemployment rate has climbed higher than 9.4%, which is nearly two million more lost jobs than Obama had projected, as Newt Gingrich pointed out Wednesday on Fox News' Hannity.

Also, five months after the 787 billion dollar spending bill was passed, just over 36 billion has been spent. Remember, this was a package promoted as a "quick fix" to the economy. It seems as though Obama defines "quick" as spending much of the money after half his term is over.

According to a Michigan congressman, our President is ordering troops in Afghanistan to read terrorists captured on the battlefield Miranda Rights. In essence, this promises foreign terrorists the same protections that we enjoy as citizens. This comes as a total flip-flop, as Obama emphatically said terrorists did not deserve Miranda Rights in a 60 Minutes interview.

A new liberal tactic for raising our taxes has been deployed: the whole "pay as you go" concept. President Obama, after taking our debt and deficit to levels never seen before in our nation's history, has declared we must now spend money we don't have. This plan was "introduced" in 2007 by Nancy Pelosi, but was quickly ignored. The president himself introduced a similar plan earlier this year, and the current plan is just a watered down version.

All of these problems are arising, and we are just now halfway through the first year of the Obama presidency. Already, polls suggest the people trust republicans more than democrats when it comes to economy as they grow tired of seeing Obama's plans fail.

Share these facts and bits of information with Obama supporters, then simply remind them that this is what they voted for in November.

Congrats to Jeremy Hagen!

Special congratulations go out to former Missouri CR State Chair Jeremy Hagen, as he is now the new national Co-Chair of the CRNC. Jeremy ran with Zach Howell, who is the new national chairman.
