For this first assigned blog post I got the category, Why did Obama win the 2012 election.
Obama won the popular vote by leading Romney by 61,173,739 votes or 50.5% to 58,167,260 votes or 48.0%.
Here is some of the things that Obama has promised for his 2012-2016 Presidential term.
- Create one million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016
- Double exports by the end of 2014
- Cut net oil imports in half by 2020
- Support 600,000 natural gas jobs by the end of the decade
- Cut the growth of college tuition in half over the next 10 years
- Recruit 100,000 math and science teachers over the next 10 years
- Train two million workers for real jobs at community colleges
- Reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade
I personally think that Obama will not follow through on at least half or his promises, especially the last one. Because if he didn't do it in his first four years, he won't do it in the next four years.
