The president’s words do not align with his actions

Re-electing President Obama would be like backing up the Titanic and ramming the iceberg again. The president's words do not align with his actions. He stated in 2008, if he couldn't lower the deficit and reduce unemployment he shouldn't be re-elected. Hmm.

Don't forget Cash for Clunkers, not so shovel-ready jobs, the Solyndra debacle and all that stimulus money. While the president plays golf and flies around on vacations, and campaigns for re-elections and fundraising, he also tells us we should properly inflate our tires on our vehicles.

He failed to speak to the NAACP, even though black unemployment is high. Romney spoke.

The president and EPA stopped the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada, and made it more difficult to drill for oil, open up new coal mines or build new fossil fuel electric plants - and union labor still supports him.

It is estimated 110 million people are drawing on the entitlements. This makes Obama a welfare president.

The president now asks Bill Clinton to speak in support of him at the Democratic convention. He is hanging on to Clinton's coattails. Shame on you, Barack Obama. Oh, that's Hillary's line.

I've often wondered who shaped the president's views, and the Rev. Wright comes to mind. Remember the quote? “Not God bless America, but g-damn America.”
