obama experiment has failed. when the president and his democrat allies in congress pushed through their $814 billion stimulus bill, they promised it would create millions of jobs, and keep unemployment under 8%. but their approach didn't work, and they failed to deliver on their promises. unemployment has climbed to nearly 10%. rather than create jobs, the democrats expanded government, and now the american people are stuck with another bill for nearly a trillion dollars. when the president was introducing his big government health care plan, he promised to reduce every family's health insurance premiums by as much as $2,500. but premiums keep going up. families in some states are seeing increases in the double digits. here again, democrats promised but didn't deliver, and the american people are stuck with rising health care costs and another tab, this one for $2.5 trillion. the democrats have controlled the white house and both chambers of congress for nearly two years, and have proven that more government is not the answer. this year they were not even capable of passing a budget. instead, they spent their tim
