The only thing President Obama has truly improved is gun sales

Many things have increased under President Obama. Unemployment, national debt, food stamps and partisan bickering are just a few. Of course, those are not positive things. The only positive thing to increase under President Obama is gun sales. I wonder if he will use that in a campaign ad?

The record for a single year was set just last year, when the FBI reported that 14,409,616 background checks were requested. In 2011 that figure will top 16 million. FBI spokesman Steve Fischer said just 1.3% of background checks result in denial of a weapon.

With a week left in December, the FBI said the monthly record has already been broken, and that was only set last month when 1,534,414 background checks were requested from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

CNN writes:

Two days before Christmas, NICS ran 102,222 background checks, which was the second-busiest day in history. The one-day record was set this year on Black Friday, the big shopping day following Thanksgiving, with 129,166 searches. By comparison, the previous one-day high was set November 28, 2008, when gun dealers made slightly less than 98,000 requests for background searches.

The NRA said more people are flocking to guns for self defense.

Obama must love poor people. He is making more of them.

Welcome to the Obama years...

AP reported:

The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.

...The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power. (emphasis mine) Read more here.

President Obama is now 'agnostic' on possible taxe hikes for households below $250K a year

Agnostic? That is a strange term to apply to tax increases. It sounds like he can't decide if he wants to tax the middle-class or not. He wasn't this uncertain during the campaign. Actually, he was very emphatic he would never raise taxes on anyone who makes less than $250 thousand per year. Watch this video.




The NY Daily News reported:

WASHINGTON - President Obama says he is now "agnostic" about raising taxes on households making under...

Oh well. The campaign is over.

Pelosicare Actually Increases Health Care Costs

Length: 1,990 pages
Number of words: Approx 400,000
Cost per word: $2,200,000.

President Obama and Democrats claim we need health care reform to stem rising costs. The chief actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at the DHHS has analyzed Pelosicare and found contrary to Democrats claims, the bill actually increases costs by $289 billion over a decade.

From Politico:

Democrats have promised that health reform would reduce health care costs, but legislation the House passed last week would increase costs over the next decade by $289 billion. By 2019, health costs would rise to 21.1 percent of GDP compared to 20.8 under current law, according to an actuarial report prepared by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
