"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America�s debt limit is 
a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." 
Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the 
backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a 
failure of leadership . Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to 
oppose the effort to increase America�s debt limit." - Barack Obama, March 
16, 2006.

"The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years 
is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our 
children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 
presidents - added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 
trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back - $30,000 for every 
man, woman and child. That�s irresponsible. It�s unpatriotic. - Barack 
Obama, July 3, 2008.

The debt today is still growing.

Promises:

"I don't want to be ambiguous about this. We are going to close 
Guantanamo..." -  Barack Obama, January 2009

"President Obama quietly signed an executive order on Monday instituting a 
system for indefinitely holding terrorist detainees at the U.S. military 
prison at Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba." ( EVEN if they have been tried and 
acquitted! )

"The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally 
authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping 
an actual or imminent threat to the nation." - Barack Obama, 2007

But in 2011, he attacked Libya without even consulting Congress.

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the 
time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops 
home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that
to the bank."   --- Candidate Barack Obama, October 27, 2007

Yet the wars are still going.

What HAS he kept his promises on?

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would 
necessarily skyrocket." - Barack Obama

"So if someone wants to build a coal power plant, they can, it�s just that 
it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for 
all that greenhouse gas that�s being emitted." - Barack Obama, 2008

Electricity rates have certainly done that, since he took office. And the 
carbon dioxide you exhale is now classified as a "pollutant" subject to 
government regulation by his EPA, which is also regulating coal plants out 
of business, shutting down our electricity production. It could soon cause 
rolling blackouts across America.

And his growth of government, previously unheard-of deficit spending and 
enormous increases to the debt, threaten to collapse our economy, while 
he's created such a hostile regulatory environment for businesses that 
they're afraid to hire. The average business now spends over $11,000 a year 
per employee, just to comply with government regulations!

Good job President Obama!

If collapsing the United States and our economy is your goal, you and your 
Democrat-Socialist friends are doing a great job!
