Obama has already broken his promises

| September 20, 2012 7:00 AM

President Obama is running for a second term. He is asking the American people to once again trust him. He has broken the promises he made the last election.

He promised healthcare reform to control the cost of healthcare. Obamacare was passed, it does nothing to control healthcare costs. Obamacare was ruled a tax by the Supreme Court. Obamacare is basically a plan to create another gigantic healthcare administration, one which will make healthcare decisions for us not healthcare professionals.

His administration has also mishandled the economic recovery, the illegal alien problem and the war on drugs. He didn’t mishandle the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, mainly because these plans were already in place when he took office.

The Supreme Court ruled against him on gun control reaffirming Second Amendment Right for the individual. Hillary Clinton is drafting a U.N. Small Arms Trade Treaty to circumvent this court ruling. This treaty is nothing but gun control disguised as a trade treaty and will probably be introduced in the Senate for approval during the “lame duck” session following the election. This treaty must not be approved by the Senate.
