On Fox News Sunday yesterday, Chris Wallace holds Obama’ s top strategist David Axelrod’s feet to the fire, as he asks about Obama’s record. Wallace begins by asking if he can honestly says that the average American is better off today than four years ago.
THIS is Barack Obama’s abysmal record:
Unemployment: was 7.8% when Obama took office, it’s now 8.3%
Median household income: was almost $55,000, it’s now less than $51,000
Gas was $1.85 a gallon when Obama took office, it has now more than doubled to $3.78
The national debt was $10.6 Trillion. It is expected to surpass $16 Trillion this week.
Wallace says the economy has 300,000 fewer jobs now than in February 2009 as Obama entered office. Axelrod’s implausible response? “This is not just about reclaiming the jobs we‘ve lost, it’s about reclaiming the economic security the middle class has lost…’
Yet Obama has even more new spending on the horizon, having vowed to “jump start the economy” with even more spending by implementing $140 Billion for “new construction, hiring new teachers and first responders,” while adding another “$62 Billion to extend unemployment benefits.” This is in addition to the estimated $2.6 Trillion first decade cost of ObamaCare.
When Wallace asks Axelrod, “When does the president balance the budget?” Axelrod, sputtering and belching looks into the camera and says we have to go with this “plausible plan.”
He is then reminded that the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says Obama’s 2013 budget plan never balances the budget and never deals with the long-term structural problem of entitlements.
Axelrod responds with double talk about “stabilizing the debt.” He claims to agree with the findings of Simpson-Bowes, but Wallace reminds him that Obama ignored their recommendations, although it was Obama’s own commission. The Democrats have even demanded that any reference to the commission be omitted from the Oct. 3 presidential debate.
It’s time to heed Obama’s own words after taking office in 2009
“if I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”
