‘Words Matter’: Amateur Compilation Reel Pits Obama Against Himself

Political commercials using a candidate’s own words to show that someone has changed positions, flip-flopped or lied, is nothing new. However, a new video that seems to take the idea a few steps further, expanding the :30 second commercial into a short, un-narrated documentary.


The numbers just don't add up

At the Democratic National Convention, former President Bill Clinton told America that his solution to joblessness and budget deficits was one word -- arithmetic. I couldn’t agree more. Let’s take a look at Barack Obama’s record these last four years -- I think you’ll agree the numbers just don’t add up:

• 23 million Americans are out of work, have stopped looking for work, or are underemployed
• $16 trillion national debt (that’s $50,000 for every American)
• 43 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment
• 4 straight trillion dollar budget deficits in a row -- more than any other president combined

Ultimately, it’s simple arithmetic -- the policies of Barack Obama just don’t add up to the kind of future America deserves.
