Visualizing the Obama Administration so far
Written by Michael Vass
Earlier today I was being yelled at by a significant family member. The source of the debate was President Obama, and Democrats more as a side issue. Because all of my immediate family are Democrats, and I am the lone Republican. More to the point, I am the most Conservative of my family, though the others are more or less so as well.
As you might imagine this made the 2008 election difficult. And the Stimulus package, Cap & Trade, the budget, and now Health Care Reform. In each case my family has difficulty swaying from the side of Democrats, though several freely admit reservations with current policy and the economic plans. They even grudgingly accept that over 70% of the campaign promises made by President Obama have been broken by this point.
To have gotten them that far took a great deal of work. And not all of the family will budge even when faced with direct facts. At least not as long as I state them.
So to help others with this same dilemma I present a bit of work by others that present in clear and easy to understand ways, EXACTLY what President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Majority Leader Harry Reid have done for the nation in the past 7 months.
Perhaps this visual representation, done by someone completely other than me will help sink it all in.
*** I want to thank 10000pennies (http://politicalmath.wordpress.com) for the videos that you can find on Youtube. I have never met or spoken with him (yet), but I applaud the time well spent to highlight just how bad things are. And how much polispeak has been flying since January 2009.
