Obama should not be voted as president because he has failed promises, destroyed our economy, and made many americans lose their jobs. I am not going to go over every mistake Obama has made, I am just going to try and focus on the main areas where he has failed as a president.
When Obama said that he was going to lower unemployment rates when he was elected 4 years ago, the people had every right to believe him. But it amazes me that people still have hope after 43 months of the unemployment rate being over 8%. Not only are less people working, less people are looking for jobs too. I support welfare and helping people out for a short period of time, but Obama is making people not want to work, because everything is being paid for. When Obama took over as president, the unemployment rate was at 7.7%, since then it has steadily risen to 8.1%. If this is not clear evidence of his broken promises, what is?
What most people don't realize about Obamacare is that it has HUGE tax increases for the middle class over the next years. Although it is important for healthcare to be availalbe to the majority of the population, it is not in our country's best interest to impose it upon everybody. It plans on borrowing $700 billion from medicare to cover the new expenses. People tend to only see the good in this plan, when it is going to kill our economy in the long run.
Although there was already a problem with the economy when he took office, Obama has made the debt much worse. $800 billion spent on the stimulus package was wasted, and our debt is now over $16 trillion and rising every day. The failing economy has put more people on food stamps than ever before and there hasn't been higher poverty since 1993. With no real plan for helping the economy, Obama should not be anybody's first choice for president.
Do you remember in 2008 when Obama also said he would cut the deficit in half? Or when he promised the unemployment rate would not rise above 8%? As president of the United States, honesty should be one of the most important qualities, and it just seems like Obama lacks it. By no means is Mitt Romney a perfect candidate, but he has many plans that make sense for lowering our debt and our unemployment rate. Obama is a great speaker, and is very persuasive, but if you look closer at what he has really accomplished over the past four years, you can see why Mitt Romney is the more logical choice.
Now, when looking at the past four years, it's important to remember this: When Obama was elected, he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. He entered at 9 trillion dollars in debt, with multiple wars being fought, Europe in a free fall, the stock market in a mess, and the housing industry in pieces. This is one of the single worst economic situations in history. Anybody with expectations for any one person to fix these problems in barely 4 years will be sorely disappointed with every president. When voting, one needs to think about how things should look right now. Things should be looking up. the stock market is recovering, thousands of jobs have been saved (Obama is a net job creator), and many other things that have increased stability in this country. If you are going to criticize Obama for breaking promises, I would like you to look at what Romney has claimed to do on day one of his presidency, it includes: Labeling China a currency manipulator, get the approval for the pipeline from Canada, put a halt to every regulation made during Obama's presidency, and repeal Obamacare. Every candidate promises ridiculous things, but Obama is at least going in a direction that eventually leads to what he said.
