Here are a few of the false statements made by the Republican Presidential candidates:
Multiple Republican Operatives have said; "We must stop Barack Obama's dangerous economic course to protect America’s greatness by reversing the European style governing."
- Affordable Care Act: Is a free market based health insurance system nothing like other countries successful socialized medicine programs (Universal Health Care Systems)
- The GOP is unable to spin any other Federal Government Program as European Style Governance.
- Barack Obama has initiated less regulation than George W. Bush had during the comparable time in Presidents office.
- Barack Obama seeks to implement lean principles to our government processes, the 1st President to do so!
- Barack Obama has removed old, antiquated, nonsense regulations and seeks congressional approval to consolidate his executive branch department to make them more responsive to citizen needs.
- Our constitution requires laws and regulations be generated by congress and either signed or vetoed by the Executive. Even if the president vetoes a congressional proposal, two-thirds of each chamber can vote to over rule the executive.
“What is clear is that Barack Obama has abdicated his responsibility to govern, and has instead resorted to commanding the public spotlight for the sole purpose of driving a wedge between Americans through partisan, campaign-style rhetoric. Three years of failed promises have led our nation deeper into debt, created greater uncertainty for American job creators and prolonged unacceptably high unemployment."
- Barack Obama has promised a different style of executive in Washington - he has and still delivers today.
- Barack Obama promised to fight for the middle of America - he has and still delivers today.
- Barack Obama has offered to compromise many times during budget negotiations with congress only to be left at the alter by a group of political leaders with an agenda other than doing what is in the best interest in debt reduction, budget balancing and helping America grow its way out of the recession brought on by eight years of a George W Bush Presidency and his Republican controlled Congress (6 of 8 yrs).
- Barack Obama promised to end the policies of division in Washington - he has held up his end of the bargain against an intransigent Republican held House of Representatives and a Republican minority in the Senate which announced at inauguration that their sole purpose in governing is to ensure that Barack Obama is a one term president.
- Barack Obama has provided certainty to job creators by ending the financial crisis which had job losses at 750,000 per month & a credit market where many financial institutions sat on the brink of insolvency leading to the worst credit crisis for job creators in America's history. Barack Obama ended the hemorrhaging, offered tax relief to every American citizen and has presided over 22 consecutive months of private sector job creation.
"President Obama's astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women. The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government. The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq."
- The President kept his pledge to the nation to end the war in Iraq in a responsible way.
- Barack Obama has promoted our security in Afghanistan and eliminated key Al Qaeda leaders while strengthening American leadership around the world
- Osama bin Laden no longer threatens American citizens, among others.
Mitt Romney said: "America’s creditworthiness just became the latest casualty in President Obama’s failed record of leadership on the economy,” “His failed policies have led to high unemployment, skyrocketing deficits, and now, the unprecedented loss of our nation’s prized AAA credit rating.”
- Standard & Poor’s statement downgrading the federal government’s credit rating places the blame squarely on Republican Party actions and policies.
- Standard & Poor’s biggest concern is whether the United States will pay off its debt and whether the Republican Party will be so insane as to refuse to lift the debt ceiling.
- Stand & Poor's modified their baseline assumptions about the United States credit worthiness based on the following: “We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues,” this adds $4 trillion over ten years to our projected deficits.
