{UAH} THE LITANY OF DECEPTION, LIES AND HYPOCRISY OF OBAMA

Chapter Four     Betrayal: A Litany of Deception, Lies and Hypocrisy

          Five years after the election of Barak Obama - the black ace card of the American racist-ruling class - we can look back at a telling  track record and we see a train wreck of broken promises and dashed hopes on the part of millions.  The economy, in realty, is in dismay and rapidly approaching depression and devastation.  Unemployment is off the chain and millions have simply stopped looking for work.  Consumer self-assurance is demoralized, although the coffers of the rich are overflowing!  The U.S. involvement in foreign wars for over thirteen years has shattered many in the armed forces which now has a suicide rate greater than any other army in the world as the U.S. pursues an uncertain foreign strategy of anxiety and desperation.  Of course, Barak  Obama cannot be blamed for all this, for he is just the U.S. president - an office whose primary responsibility is to be a face to a naive and mostly unconscious public and a mouthpiece for the American racist-ruling class!

Out of hundreds of broken promises,

the list below is 42 of the most blatant betrayals

 

1.    Barack Obama repeatedly made the promise that “you will be able to keep your health care plan” under Obamacare.

2.    “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor

3.    “My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.”

4.    “We agree on reforms that will finally reduce the costs of health care. Families will save on their premiums…”

5.    “We’ve got shovel-ready projects all across the country that governors and mayors are pleading to fund. And the minute we can get those investments to the state level, jobs are going to be created.”

6.    “And we will pursue the housing plan I’m outlining today. And through this plan, we will help between 7 and 9 million families restructure or refinance their mortgages so they can afford—avoid foreclosure.”

7.    “I will sign a universal health-care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”

8.    “We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime.”

9.    “We will close the detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, the location of so many of the worst constitutional abuses in recent years.”

10.            “Allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower outside the U.S.”

11.           “We will revisit the Patriot Act and overturn unconstitutional

12.           “Will ensure that federal contracts over $25,000 are competitively bid.”

13.           We reject sweeping claims of ‘inherent’ presidential power.”

14.           Will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This will eliminate taxes for 7 million seniors — saving them an average of $1,400 a year– and will also mean that 27 million seniors will not need to file an income tax return at all.”

15.           “We support constitutional protections and judicial oversight on any surveillance program involving Americans.”

16.           “If we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home, we will end this war. You can take that to the bank.”

17.           “Will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.”

18.           “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

19.           I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay – and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.”

20.           The project also concludes Obama’s promise to create 5 million new “green” jobs also is still in the works.

21.           Eliminate all oil and gas tax loopholes

22.           End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000

23.           Create a $60 billion bank to fund roads and bridges

24.           Sign the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize

25.           Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses

26.           Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses

27.           Allow imported prescription drugs

28.           Prevent drug companies from blocking generic drugs

29.           Double federal funding for cancer research

30.           Require employers to provide seven paid sick days per year

31.           Reduce the Veterans Benefits Administration claims backlog

32.           Form international group to help Iraq refugees

33.           Restore habeas corpus rights for "enemy combatants"

34.           Seek independent watchdog agency to investigate congressional ethics violations

35.           Allow five days of public comment before signing bills

36.           Double funding for afterschool programs

37.        "Will create new Teacher Service Scholarships that will cover four years of undergraduate or two years of graduate teacher education, including high-quality alternative programs for mid-career recruits in exchange for teaching for at least four years in a high-need field or location."

38.           Sign the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act into law

40.           Increase the supply of affordable housing throughout metropolitan regions
