Do You Think President Obama Will Win the 2012 Election?

Top Obama Flip-Flops


1. Special interests In January, the Obama campaign described union contributions to the campaigns of Clinton and John Edwards as "special interest" money. Obama changed his tune as he began gathering his own union endorsements. He now refers respectfully to unions as the representatives of "working people" and says he is "thrilled" by their support.

2. Public financing Obama replied "yes" in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. Obama has now attached several conditions to such an agreement, including regulating spending by outside groups.

3. The Cuba embargo In January 2004, Obama said it was time "to end the embargo with Cuba" because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." Speaking to a Cuban American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it is "an important inducement for change."

4. Illegal immigration In a March 2004 questionnaire, Obama was asked if the government should "crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants." He replied "Oppose." In a Jan. 31, 2008, televised debate, he said that "we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation." Recently he flipped on this one again choosing to show amnesty to Illegals and thier employers.

5. Decriminalization of marijuana While running for the U.S. Senate in January 2004, Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use. In the Oct. 30, 2007, presidential debate, he joined other Democratic candidates in opposing the decriminalization of marijuana.

That's it? You claimed that "Obama has more inconsistencies than Romney", and you only bring five examples? Romney flip flops five times in his sleep.

Romney on Roe v. Wade:
"Roe v. Wade has gone too far."
http://www.nationalreview.com...
"I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it."
http://www.politifact.com/tru...

Romney on health care mandates:
"No, no, I like mandates. The mandates work."
http://blog.hcfama.org/2008/0...
"I think it's unconstitutional on the 10th Amendment front."
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-5...

Romney on stem cell research:
"I will work and fight for stem cell research."
http://www.mult-sclerosis.org...
"In the end, I became persuaded that the stem-cell debate was grounded in a false premise."
http://www.aboutmittromney.co...

On Reagan:
"I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?...
"Ronald Reagan is...my hero"
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On the Vietnam War:
"“I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country"
http://www.nationalreview.com...
"I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam.”
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On abortion:
"I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother"
http://www.nationalreview.com...
"Let me make this very clear. I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose"
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On global warming:
"My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet. And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.”
http://www.boston.com/Boston/...
“I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that. I think it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants, of greenhouse gases, that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and global warming that you’re seeing.”
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On same sex marriage:
Upon being asked "constitutional amendment or state decision [to ban gay marriage]?", Romney answered "Constitutional"
http://www.nationalreview.com...
"The authorization of marriage on a same-sex basis falls under state jurisdiction."
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On guns:
"I support the Second Amendment. I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life"
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_5592...
"I don’t line up with the NRA"
http://www.nationalreview.com...

On the minimum wage:
"I think the minimum wage ought to keep pace with inflation."
http://www.washingtonpost.com...
"There's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs"
http://www.ourfuture.org/blog...

I mean geez - I could go on and on and on. It might be easier if you were to just suggest some political issues and I'll track down his flip-flops on them for you.

I only gave you the top 5.

Abortion: I realize to a liberal abortion is an all or nothing concept but to others it is more complicated Romney is against abortion personaly but does not want to overturn roe vs wade making abortions illegal. He also does not want the government to make them free or force religious healthcare organiztions to cover or perform them. If you had read the article you would have seen that he was talking about people using roe vs wade as a precedent to legalize cloning. Which is a whoe new can of worms.
Vietnam war: He did not sign up because 1st he belived his obligation to God and his church came first. Then he had a family to support but did register for the draft. Unlike other like Clinton who 'pretended' to join ROTC.
Healthcare: Yes he supports universal healthcare but believes it should be up to the individual states because no plan implemented by the federal government would be a perfect match for all 50 states. They have different priorities and needs.
Stem cell: pretty simple he stated in the argument you presented that once he learned more about it he changed his mind. A very logical approach to learn, grow, and change with increased knowledge on the subject.
global warming : ditto
Reagan: first your quotes are 18 years apart LOL, Second even Obama is trying to quote Reagan these days. ROFL
NRA : He belives in the second amendment but thinks that assault weopons which can be made automatic with a few simple tools are too dangerous for public use.
Minimum wage: He wants to raise it but it is a matter of timing.
[ i don't buy that one either so you win on that one]

This is why moderates always get labeled flip floppers because they realize that there is a time and place for everything and doing the same thing all the time leads to failure most of the time.

The accumulated weight of Obama’s deceit is overwhelming:

* During his campaign for the presidency and since, Obama repeatedly assured us that he would protect Medicare against cuts; but he now presses for passage of bills that include savage cuts in Medicare.

* To obtain passage of his first stimulus bill, Obama assured us that 90% of the jobs created would be in the private sector; but as he well knew, most of them were to be in the public sector.

* Early in the health care debate, Obama assured us that he had not said that he favored a single payer system; but he was on record as having said exactly that.

* Obama gave primary voters a firm assurance that if he became the nominee of the Democratic party he would (unlike Hillary Clinton) abide by the campaign finance limits of public funding; but as soon as he became the party’s nominee, he reneged on that pledge.

* During the presidential campaign Obama criticized the presence of former lobbyists in the Bush administration and solemnly assured us that he would appoint no lobbyists to his administration; but once elected he proceeded to appoint even more lobbyists than his predecessors.

* Obama criticized the size of George Bush’s deficit and promised to stop deficit spending if elected; but he has already quadrupled the size of the deficit he objected to and recklessly continues new federal spending in the trillions.

* When campaigning Obama criticized bills before the congress that were too long for anyone to be able to read and promised to stop that; but the bills he has been backing throughout his first year are infinitely longer (2000+ pages) than the ones he criticized.

* Candidate Obama promised an end to the corruption of earmarks and pork, but in the bills he has supported this year there have been more and bigger earmarks than ever before.

* Candidate Obama promised us that CIA personnel involved in the interrogation of terrorists would not be prosecuted; but his administration is now doing exactly that.

* Obama assured a joint session of Congress that the health bill he supported (pre-Stupak) would not provide public funding for abortions; but bitter resistance on the part of House Democrats to inclusion of language to that effect soon proved that it did.

* Candidate Obama promised that he would make sure that there was always enough time for the public to read legislation before it was enacted; but he has done exactly the opposite, repeatedly pressing for even faster passage of even longer bills.

* Candidate Obama met fears that he would be a tax and spend liberal by promising, emphatically and repeatedly, that those earning under $200,000 would see no increase in their taxes of any kind; but he now urges passage of a healthcare bill that breaks that pledge in many different ways, and his unrestrained increase in federal spending makes more tax increases inevitable.

* Candidate Obama promised bipartisanship and an end to partisan bickering; but in a display of especially ruthless partisanship his allies have shut Republicans out of all key meetings on his health care initiative, with the unprecedented result that domestic legislation of historic importance garnered not a single Republican vote in the Senate.

* Candidate Obama criticized his opponent’s plan to tax employer paid healthcare benefits, and promised he would not tax them; but the bill he now backs will do just that.

* Obama had promised that he would not sign a healthcare bill that would add one dime to the federal deficit; but the bill he now backs adds trillions in new federal spending, offset only by new sources of revenue that are both uncertain and more properly seen as offsetting the already existing deficit.

* Obama coerced congress into passing his stimulus bill by promising that if it were passed unemployment could go no higher then 8%; but unemployment is now at 10%, and he could not possibly have had good reason to exclude that possibility.

* Obama promised that his cap and trade legislation will create jobs; but its massive tax increases will certainly hobble the economy and destroy jobs, while green jobs in significant numbers can at best be hoped for, but never promised.

* Obama has repeatedly assured the American people that if they like their current health plan they can keep it; but the House bill which he supported created huge incentives for employers to drop their coverage and shift their members to a public option.

* Obama has just as often assured the public that under his health plan everyone will be able to keep their current doctor; but many are certain to lose their doctors when ObamaCare’s large cuts in Medicare funding induce more doctors to withdraw from Medicare coverage, as they also would were employers to transfer patients to a public option to save money.

* Obama assured a joint session of Congress that his health plan would not fund illegal aliens; but his allies had been busy voting down amendments to that effect. (This was the point of Joe Wilson’s outburst.)

* Obama claimed that Caterpillar’s CEO had told him that Caterpillar would begin hiring again as a result of the stimulus bill; but that individual immediately announced that he had said no such thing, and that Caterpillar would in fact be laying off more workers.

* Candidate Obama promised that Guantanamo would be closed by January 1, 2010; but it is still open.

* Candidate Obama promised that his administration (unlike his predecessor’s) would be so transparent that TV cameras (C-Span) would be there for key deliberations; but an unprecedented level of secrecy prevails as the final stages of Obamacare are negotiated behind closed doors and kept so secret that even the Senate majority whip admitted that he had no idea what was going on. Requests for Obama to honor the promise of C-Span cameras are being ignored.

* To gain traction for his attempt to return a would-be socialist dictator in Honduras to power, Obama claimed that he had been overthrown in an illegal coup; but the congressional research service pointed out correctly that ex-President Zelaya had been removed for constitutionally sufficient cause by legal and constitutional means.

* Obama claims that he wants a public option only to increase choice and competition; but the House bill would clearly reduce choice both by squeezing unsubsidized private health plans out of the market, and by setting rigid conditions on acceptable plans that would narrow available options.

* Candidate Obama claimed that violent radical Bill Ayers was just another guy in his neighborhood; but the record shows that the two had worked closely together.

* Obama assured us that his stimulus bill would create or save a million jobs; but he was claiming as fact what could never have been more than a wild (and highly improbable) guess, and his more recent attempts to justify that guess have been fraudulent.

* Obama assured us that his health plan would never ration care, or “pull the plug” on grandma; but the legislation he backs sets up panels to make crucial decisions on when to withhold care, and it makes such deep cuts in Medicare that rationing is inevitable.

* Obama now assures us that health insurance premiums will not go up if ObamaCare becomes law, insisting indignantly that people who say this have not read the bill; but the legislation forces insurers to cover preexisting conditions, which will compel them to raise premiums substantially.

This is an extraordinary record of serial mendacity. One or two instances might charitably be regarded as rash promises later regretted, or as the wishful thinking of someone who had not thought through the implications of what he was saying. But when it happens again and again—and my 30 instances are by no means exhaustive—only one judgment seems possible: this is the record of a habitual, shameless liar, a man who will say anything to get what he wants. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, goes the old saying. But scores of times? How shameful is that for our society when this disgraceful record is never the subject of a reproachful editorial in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or CBS news? Richard Nixon was removed from office, and Bill Clinton impeached for a single lie. Who could look at Obama’s record without concluding that his lying is in a completely different league to theirs?

President Obama evidently believes that he can solve any problem with a speech. But he really does not care whether what he says is true or not, nor does he feel any responsibility to honor the assurances and promises he makes. As a result, this nation is now in a position where it cannot believe a word that he says, and that amounts to an unprecedented crisis of confidence in the Presidency. Democratic government will atrophy if we allow lying on this scale to count as the business as usual of politics. When will the press and the Congress hold him accountable?

You said: "...obama decides to spend nearly one-trillion dollars on a failed stimulus bill..."

Ah, the rhetorical "failed" stimulus. Well, we certainly can't look into a crystal ball and see what the country would look like had there been no stimulus, but the CBO and other independent analysts have concluded that it was helpful in many ways:

"The nonpartisan CBO figures offer a more nuanced picture of how government spending impacted an economy still coping with unemployment above 9 percent. It provides an alternative glimpse of an economy with even higher unemployment and drastically lower growth.

The CBO figures released Tuesday estimate that the stimulus package raised the gross domestic product this past quarter by 0.3 percent-1.9 percent.

The CBO report provided a broad range of the estimated number of full-time jobs created because of the stimulus — from a low of 500,000 to a high of 3.3 million jobs."
http://www.politico.com/news/...

You said: "...close to 400 billion per year on 100 new federal agencies..."

Hmmm - "Obama asked Congress to give him a kind of reorganization power no president has had since Ronald Reagan. It would guarantee Obama a vote, within 90 days, on any idea he offers to consolidate agencies, provided it saves money and cuts the government.

His first target: Merging six major trade and commerce agencies into a one-stop-shopping department for American businesses. The Commerce Department would be among those that would cease to exist.

Congress would keep the final say, but Obama would have a stronger hand to skip much of the outside lobbying and fighting and get right to a vote.

Attacking senseless duplication across the executive branch he runs, Obama said: 'Why is it OK for our government? It's not. It has to change.'"
http://www.tulsaworld.com/new...

I wonder what happened to this request from Obama? Oh right...it was introduced on Feb. 17 as the "Reforming and Consolidating Government Act of 2012", is still sitting there awaiting Congressional action, and is estimated to have only a 3% chance of being passed despite the begrudging acknowledgement of Republicans that it would be a good move. Wouldn't want Obama to have anything resembling a success now, would they? http://www.govtrack.us/congre...

You said: "...one-trillion dollars on a laughably stupid health care act"

Let's see... "The CBO is projecting that repeal would increase the federal deficit by around $230 billion in the next decade and by an even larger amount after that." They also project that repealing this so-called "laughably stupid health care act" would result in "insurance that is less comprehensive, less available, and in many cases more expensive"
http://economistsview.typepad...

Perhaps NOW you'll start to actually "understand it all".

Well, if we must include the CBO's analysis of the stimulus bill, then the least we can do is include their entire analysis. Also, your figures are somewhat dishonest, because the the 3-million jobs figure was falsified by the CBO in late 2011 (those were the Obama's administration's original estimates, not the CBO's 2011 reported estimates).

"After nearly all the stimulus money has been spent, the Congressional Budget Office now admits it cost more than advertised, did less to boost growth and will hurt the economy in the long run.

"In its latest quarterly report on the economic effects of the Obama stimulus, the CBO sharply lowered its “worst case” scenario while trimming many of its upper-bound estimates for stimulus-fueled growth and employment.

"The new report finds, for example, that the stimulus may have added as little as 0.7% to GDP growth in 2010 — when spending was at its peak — and created as few as 700,000 new jobs.

"Both are down significantly from the CBO’s previous worst-case scenario."

A person has to be a bleeding fool to not believe that Obama has made the list of federal agencies much larger.

Consolidation alone doesn't eliminate federal jobs; it only realigns them and places them in a larger bureau. For instance, if a president was to make 100 new federal agencies and then, one year later, consolidate all those workers into 50 agencies, according to you he'd have shrunken the federal government. That's what Obama is doing to all the agencies he had previously created during the first part of his four-year reign in order to make it seem like he's shrinking government.


I can also list the agencies created by the new consumer protection bureau, if you'd like.
