Mr. President, How Many Times Can You Be Wrong?

We all complain about the weatherman from time to time, but has President Obama gotten anything right?

He promised to bring both parties together when he was campaigning. Today, we have the bitterest partisan divide at anytime in this country.

He promised that that stimulus package would prevent unemployment from climbing over 8%. Today, we are at 9.2% and his administration has told us that this will be the “new normal.”

He told us that his health care package would lower health care rates for us all. Instead, Aetna moved out of Indiana today and last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a report showing that health care costs will rise faster with Obamacare in place than they would have in its absence. That just seems wrong.

The straw that broke the camel’s back for me, though, was the debt limit fiasco. “Once we raise the nation’s debt limit, we will put investors’ fears to rest and maintain the country’s AAA credit rating.” Mr. President, the stock market dropped more than 500 points today and has now gone backwards for the year.

I think you are now 0-for-term on your pred

    I was also inquiring about the court reporting. Are you no longer reporting court news? I hope that you will bring it back

    Where has the court reporting gone? It was gone for quite some time and then you brought it back. Can we expect to see it again in the near future?

    Sounds like Mayor needs to have a few ride around hours on the police shifts to see what all crime fremont does have. You dont hear about it because we dont have local TV stations right here reporting 24/7. Fremont DOES have the violent metro crimes, but because of the police presense in the city alot that would of happened does not. LaVista does not have stabbings and shootings everyday either. Treat others fair just like you would want to be treated. I sure hope the trickle down effect, then maybe the administration wont get the raises this next year, instead it will be the employees out there doing the job…
