I was thinking yesterday that Obama is acting like a college student with his campaign.
He spent the first two years of his term monkeying around with progressive ideas. Take a look at the things he promised in his January 2010 State of the Union address:
· New small business loans
· Small business tax credit
· No capital gains tax on small business development
· Tax incentives on plants and equipment
· Infrastructure investment
· Clean energy facilities
· Energy rebates
· Increase taxes to companies with overseas employees
· Tax breaks for US job creation
· Banking reform – inform bank customers
· Research funding
· Nuclear power plants
· Offshore drilling
· Biofuels
· Clean coal
· Climate change laws
· Increase exports
· More trade deals
· School reform
· Government college loan
· Tuition tax credits
· More Pell grants
· Limit repayment of school loans 10% 10 years
· Double child care credit
· IRAs for all
· More home refinancing
· Health care reform
· Foreign aid for AIDS
· Bioterror defense
· Civil rights prosecution
· Immigration enforcement
In his third year he started to take his work seriously.
And here he is, approaching graduation, trying to tell us what a good job he's done while blaming others (Bush, Romney, the evil GOP House, Fox News, The Tea Party, Sara Palin...anyone but himself) for his lack of results.
I certainly hope we don't allow him to graduate.
