Obama from an alternate reality where he tells us the truth said:Here's what I promised again and again to do that I didn't do:
I didn't close Guantanamo Bay. Sure, it was a cornerstone of my campaign, but still. Terrorists gonna terrorize.
I didn't repeal the Bush tax cuts. In fact, I extended them.
I didn't negotiate the health care reform ideas in public or televised sessions, as promised.
In fact, remember when I said this in 2007? "I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American" - Yeah, I was just kidding. What we're going to do instead is force you to BUY insurance, or we'll fine you - and if you don't pay that fine, you'll go to jail.
I didn't sign the Employee Free Choice act, making it easy for workers to unionize and protect themselves from thug political bullying, like what happened in Wisconsin.
I didn't forbid companies going into bankruptcy from giving executive bonuses.
I didn't allow imported prescription drugs to save citizens money.
I didn't form an international group to help the millions of displaced Iraq refugees who were pushed out of their country because of a decade long bombing campaign for a terrorist act they had nothing to do with.I didn't withdraw from Afghanistan– instead I added more troops. In the case of Iraq, I replaced some troops with corporate thugs-for-hire. Now private military contractors make up half of our force in both countries.I didn't double funding for afterschool programs, as I repeatedly promised to do.
I didn't instill tougher rules against lobbyists. In fact, I did the opposite, and even hired a couple for cabinet positions!
I didn't use any revenue from cap and trade to support clean energy and environmental restoration.
But yeah, I gave the order to kill a guy in Pakistan and dump his body in the ocean mafia style.And yeah, I gave the order to drop some million dollar missiles in Libya.And yeah, I bailed out Wall Street with taxpayer money and then offered nothing to the people, while those same swindling fatcats showered one another with "job creation" money - without creating a single friggin job.
