“On the night he lost the 2008 New Hampshire primary, candidate Obama took the stage to assess the outcome. ‘We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope,’ he declared. ‘But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.’“That is, until Barack Obama showed up.“‘Hope and change’ may have defined Obama’s 2008 campaign, but ‘false hope’ more accurately defines his presidency. At the beginning of 2012, three years into the Obama presidency, 70 percent of Americans believe the country is now on the ‘wrong track.’“New Hampshire voters take part in the First In The Nation primary, casting some of the first votes against Barack Obama-against four more years of false hope…the focus must be on one thing: the failed policies of the Obama presidency…
“America cannot afford a second term of failure. We cannot afford more record deficits. We cannot afford more reckless spending, more government mandates, and more job-killing regulations. We simply cannot afford four more years of President Obama…“Hope may win votes. But it doesn’t fix an economy…“In 2008, Obama ran on bold promises and lofty rhetoric because he had no record. In 2012, he’ll run on negative attacks and misleading statements because he does have a record-a record of failed policies…“Re-elections are about records. They are referendums. Voters deem the sitting president a success or failure…If we’re better off, the president tends to get re-elected. If we’re worse off, it’s time for a new direction.“And America needs a new direction — desperately…
“The answer to our nation’s problems is not four more years of false hope. The answer is true leadership and real solutions. The answer is a new president. We know what Obama’s first term looked like; we don’t need to see a second. To borrow his words, ‘We’ve been warned.’”
