OBAMA: Dwindling hope, change hurts

| August 20, 2010 6:45 AM

As we look back on the last two years the Hope and Change (we all wanted and wished for) seems to have been just a lot of hot air. A trillion dollar stimulus that was going to keep unemployment under 8 percent a total failure. Unemployment went up to 10 percent plus and the real unemployment is at 18 percent.

Remember Obamacare will lower health insurance costs. Mine went up 15 percent in the last six months and I know yours has also.

The latest Rasmussen poll: 58 percent want Obamacare repealed; 38 percent like it. The national debt is increasing an average of $4.12 billion per day and the Democrats just passed Stimulus 2, a $26 billion bailout for teachers unions and spendthrift state governments.

I can go on and on. By now you get the point. This Hope and Change should be called Tax and Spend.
