I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
- Green Day
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams may not be quite as lonely as the pop song suggests. According to Larry Kudlow, it’s where you’ll find Barack Obama.
In an effort to call attention to those so-called broken promises, The Republican National Committee has launched a new website highlighting what it considers Barack Obama’s worst offenses. Some follow:
Total Cost: $58,065Tuition: $43,840Room & Board: $13,980Fees: $245Claremont McKenna, located near downtown Los Angeles, accepted only 12.4 percent of its applicants for the class of 2016, a rate that admissions counselor Brandon Gonzalez said ensures that students here will be going to school only with other top students.�The class of 2016 will be one of the most talented groups of students we have ever seen,� The school will charge these students a tuition of $21,920 per semester, or $43,840 for the entire academic year, incurring a total cost of
Cut Deficit in Half
“Barack Obama promised he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.”
One-Term Proposition
“In 2009, Barack Obama promised that if he didn’t have the economy fixed in three years, then his presidency was going to be a one-term presidency.”
The 8% Promise
“Barack Obama promised that his $831 billion stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%.
Housing Program Failure
“Barack Obama promised his housing programs would save up to 9 million families from foreclosure.”
Rising Health Care Costs
“In 2008 Barack Obama promised that his health care plan would bring down premiums by $2500 for the typical family.”
On The Kudlow Report, Haley Barbour (R) Former Governor of Mississippi said that these broken promises will likely cost Obama the election. And he added that, “the fact of the matter is Ronald Reagan had to deal with a worse economy. And were he president, he would have lifted America out of its malaise by now.”
As you might imagine, Kasim Reed, (D) Mayor of Atlanta didn’t agree. He said that Barbour had amnesia. “To compare the economy now to Reagan’s term is ridiculous,” Reed insisted. Reagan had a downturn and Barack Obama prevented the nation from entering a second Great Depression.
