Obama is violating his oath of office

President Obama and the Democrats are stealing your children's future, killing jobs, killing the economy and violating their oath of office.
The unemployment benefits bill recently passed is funded by borrowing. It increases the national debt, which is more than $13 trillion.
Last fall, Obama said that “all” federal discretionary spending must be paid for because of the debt crisis. The GOP voted against the bill because Obama, who will say anything and do something else, broke another promise.
Obama has tried to kill all of the oil drilling in the Gulf with a moratorium. He can't explain how killing those jobs helps our economy.
Obama's financial reform bill restricts job creation by raising the cost of credit on business and individuals.
The bill doesn't address the primary culprit in the mortgage crisis: the failings of federal agencies such as Fannie Mae that bought all of those toxic loans - billions in taxpayer debt!
Sanctuary cities across America thumb their nose at federal law, which requires them to report illegal aliens. At the same time, the sanctimonious Obama administration is suing Arizona, which passed a state law to enforce that same federal law.
Vote them out this fall!
