Broken Promises
     The people of the United States voted for Barack Obama
as their President in November of 2008. He was sworn in to
office in January of the next year.
     Contrasting his infamous “Yes, we can!” slogan, the new
President soon became a disappointment. He had made too
many huge promises, and failed to follow through.
     Some would argue that Barack Obama has actually been
a very good President, and that the general population fails
to realize just how much he has impacted our country and
government.
     Despite these minority beliefs, the Obama campaign for
the election of 2012 will ultimately fail. This country has only
gone further into debt since his election, and trade with
other countries has gone down significantly (save for China,
but our ties to them are becoming thin).
The Start of a Political War

                                   The Grand Old Party (GOP), as the Republican Party is
                             sometimes referred to, can trace its roots back to the United
                             States Democratic-Republican Party, with an anti-
                             monarchy, pro-decentralization and pro-entrepreneur
                             leanings, which it subsequently broke away from in 1854
                             owing to their increasingly leftist agenda. Its rise to power was
                             swift, where its candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won the
                             presidency in 1860, barely four years after they fielded their
                             first candidate in a national election and six years after its
                             formation. Since then, they have had another 17 Republican
                             presidents, serving a total of 88 years.
                                   The party boasts of 55 million registered voters, the
                             second largest in the country, and is known as an advocate of
                             American conservatism, espousing the role of
                             religion, nationalism and economics at its core.

The Forerunners
     Newt Gingrich is currently in the lead for
 Republican support. He and Mitt Romney are butting
 heads to see who’ll be the winner of the primaries…
     … Unfortunately, history might be destined to
 repeat itself. Newt Gingrich is a brilliant politician,
 and he might start out as an O.K. President, but
 more than likely we’ll end up having another
 “Obama situation.” People will vote for who they
 believe is the smartest, and this could have
 disastrous consequences.

At last, the Cycle of Failure…
                   First! Considered the
                  most brilliant candidate,  Obama fails to

                              What do you think the
                               outcome will be?

What will happen next time?                                probably Newt Gingrich.

  • 3. Broken Promises The people of the United States voted for Barack Obama as their President in November of 2008. He was sworn in to office in January of the next year. Contrasting his infamous “Yes, we can!” slogan, the new President soon became a disappointment. He had made too many huge promises, and failed to follow through. Some would argue that Barack Obama has actually been a very good President, and that the general population fails to realize just how much he has impacted our country and government. Despite these minority beliefs, the Obama campaign for the election of 2012 will ultimately fail. This country has only gone further into debt since his election, and trade with other countries has gone down significantly (save for China, but our ties to them are becoming thin).
  • 4. The Start of a Political War I don’t own this material. The Grand Old Party (GOP), as the Republican Party is sometimes referred to, can trace its roots back to the United States Democratic-Republican Party, with an anti- monarchy, pro-decentralization and pro-entrepreneur leanings, which it subsequently broke away from in 1854 owing to their increasingly leftist agenda. Its rise to power was swift, where its candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won the presidency in 1860, barely four years after they fielded their first candidate in a national election and six years after its formation. Since then, they have had another 17 Republican presidents, serving a total of 88 years. The party boasts of 55 million registered voters, the second largest in the country, and is known as an advocate of American conservatism, espousing the role of religion, nationalism and economics at its core.

Mitt Romney Rick Perry His poll numbers have consistently The former Air Force captain, who hovered in the 23-25% region, and once entertained thoughts of despite the short term hiccups caused by becoming a veterinarian, has never hid the mini-surges of Bachmann and his preference to remain as Governor Parry, his support base seems to have of the Lone Star State, claiming it to held pretty solid over the past two years. be "the best job in the His critics charged that his greatest world."

  • 7. The Forerunners Newt Gingrich is currently in the lead for Republican support. He and Mitt Romney are butting heads to see who’ll be the winner of the primaries… … Unfortunately, history might be destined to repeat itself. Newt Gingrich is a brilliant politician, and he might start out as an O.K. President, but more than likely we’ll end up having another “Obama situation.” People will vote for who they believe is the smartest, and this could have disastrous consequences. More info next…
