Americans voted for hope and change in 2008 because they were tired of Washington’s reckless and cynical political motives. But as President Obama ramps up his re-election effort, it is clear he plans to embrace the same reckless cynicism he campaigned against just four years ago. Devoid of any fruitful ideas to save our nation, the president will continue to politicize important issues in an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of voters.

Recall Obama’s blatant political maneuvering during the December payroll tax debate. He declared it was imperative to have a one-year extension of the payroll tax cut and warned, “Congress cannot and should not leave for vacation until they have made sure that that tax increase doesn’t happen.”
