Obama: 'One-Term Proposition'

Obama is trying to reconstruct reality.

He's pretending all his promises were never broken because he didn't make any promises in the first place.

Obama will say anything. Does he assume that we won't notice? The clueless will accept Obama's BS. They will believe anything. Ignorance is bliss. Reality is dismissed.

Campaigning in Florida, September 2012, Obama says the path he's offering isn't quick. He ways it won't be easy. Obama wants "people to go back to 2008 and look at what I said."

The fact is Obama has said he expects to be held accountable and if he can't get the economy turned around "in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition."

He's backing off on that.

One-Term Proposition?

In 2009, Barack Obama promised that if he didn’t have the economy fixed in three years, then his presidency “was going to be a one-term proposition.” Since he took office, the unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for a post-World War 2 record 41 straight months. More than 23 million Americans are either unemployed, underemployed, or have given up looking for work while one in seven Americans received food stamps.

Obama In 2009: “If I Don’t Have This Done In Three Years, Then There’s Going To Be A One-Term Proposition.” OBAMA: “That’s exactly right. And - and, you know, a year from now I think people - are going to see that - we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” (NBC’s ” The Today Show,” 2/2/09)

45 Million People Received Food Stamps In 2011, A 70 Percent Increase From 2007, And Will Continue Growing Until 2014. “The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.” (Damian Paletta, “Food Stamp Rolls To Grow Through 2014,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Real Time Economics,” 4/19/12)

•“The CBO Projected That One In Seven U.S. Residents Received Food Stamps Last Year.” (Damian Paletta, “Food Stamp Rolls To Grow Through 2014,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Real Time Economics,” 4/19/12)

Bottom line: Obama set expectations and he failed to meet them.

As Clint Eastwood said, "When somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go."
