For all of you Americans who watched your president last week tell you that our economy has rebounded and the crisis is over, all I can say is that is just one more lie in a long list of lies Obama has told in his fairy tale version of what he thinks America is all about.
If the America is in such great shape then how come:
”¢ 46,674,360 of our citizens (and non-citizens) received food stamps to supplement their food purchases. That’s an astounding one-sixth of the nation now on food stamps!
Ӣ 65 percent of all children in our country currently live in households that receive some form of aid from one or more federal welfare programs. These include food stamps, Medicaid and free school lunches.
Folks, if this is an indication that we now have a stronger economy, then we all are in for a big surprise. If you think the lower gas prices are a sign that the economy has turned around, then you need to look further into the reasons for this.
Perhaps your president has forgotten the recent elections and that there are 80 more Republicans in Congress than there were when he was elected six years ago.
You can fool Americans for a while but not for two 4-year terms. The lies catch up to everyone ”“ even your president.
