Two years of the Obama/Tester team

In about a week we'll be at the halfway point of the Obama presidency.

Unless you're not from Montana, you'll recognize the picture above is of US Senator Jon Tester exchanging a warm embrace with The Great Leader, President Obama.

Tester has wholeheartedly supported The Great Leader, and the President has been able to count on Tester for his vote, especially on Obamacare where Tester cast the deciding vote.

So how has the President done so far?

Here are a few of his quotes;

"We will act not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth"

Well, no new jobs have been created, only the contrary. Obama campaigned on raising taxes, and being anti-business, and the business world took him at his word, and have shedded jobs since his election. I guess the new foundation is a legacy of national debt that he takes pride in?

"On this day, we come to proclaim and end to the petty grievances and false-promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogma that for far too long have strangles our politics"

How's that post-partisanship working out?

"We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together"

But none of that happened, and though he touted shovel-ready jobs when he had Jon Tester and the Dems pass his stimulus (spending) bill, he later admitted that there actually were none.

"We will restore science to it's rightful place ans weild technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower it's costs."

Has anybody seen health care costs start dropping? I notice that some prescriptions have tripled in out-of-pocket costs over the last two years.

"What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed them for so long, no longer apply."

That's one he was actually correct on. HE IS THE MESSIAH, and he had both legislative bodies under his control, and he was going to do whatever he willed, and the American people would take it - up the wazzoo.

"Those of us who manage the public dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and so our business in the light of day."

Transparency? From this administration, who passed bills that they admitted not even reading?
That they passed in the dead of night?

"With old friends, and former foes, we'll work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat and roll back the specter of a warming planet."

Where to even begin with that quote - because the nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran have done nothing but increase, and the religion of man-made global warming has been thoroughly proven wrong. Have you noticed the absence of Al Gore? As I think about our former Vice-President, I keep hearing lyrics from an old Steve Miller Band song....
come on, take the money and run.....come on take the money and run...

This post is getting too long-winded, I'll expound a little more next week.

Happy New Year!
