Since President Obama took the oath of office in January 2009, Republicans have reversed their stances on many different policies and beliefs. Here are 24 of them.
1. Health Care Mandates) Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act by Democrats, Republicans widely supported the idea of an individual health care insurance mandate, Newt Gingrich being perhaps the chief supporter. Republicans have always preached about how people need to take responsibility for themselves, and now that a law exists that makes people take responsibility, the GOP is rejecting it simply on the grounds that President Obama and the Democrats passed it.
2. The Nuclear START Treaty) Republicans shamelessly filibustered the ratification of the Obama START Treaty for quite a period of time and criticized it tremendously and continue to try and find ways to circumvent the treaty today. What Republicans conveniently forget is that Ronald Reagan, the man that Republicans worship like a God, negotiated the very first START Treaty which was signed by yet another Republican, George H. W. Bush in 1991. That treaty expired in 2009 so President Obama negotiated a new one to continue the Reagan legacy. But since President Obama negotiated this treaty, Republicans retreated from Reagan’s policy faster than the decade it took to create the START Treaty in the first place.

Joe I have to applaud you for posting this. If everyone would stop hating Obama. They would remember this. Also any chance that the man had to make things better has been blocked by republicans. He never had a fair shot at change. It's sad but government is just corrupt left or right. Everyone better be careful what they wish for and hope a real leader steps up to the plate instead of the clowns on both sides now. I shudder to think what November will bring.
Is this what you call a Turncoat?
LOL nice propaganda piece to try and distract from this failed economy.
5:17. This is not propaganda. This is the truth check it out you will find it is fact. Some people just don't want to know the truth even when it smacks them in the face.
