meanwhile, across the country a new political force was mobilizing, the tea party movement aimed to push the government further to the right. stop spending money now. in the 2010 midterm elections the republicans, many backed by the tea party, won the house and weakened the democrats in the senate. most of these freshmen came to washington now, not to meet and negotiate, but to demolish a government they saw as bloated, rotten, ter ranenicle. the reason we came here, the new freshmen are here, because the american people said enough. can you hear us now? sometimes the opposition to the president took an uglier, even racist tone, false claims first heard during the campaign, re-emerged, questioning obama s religion, denying he was born in the country. he is not an american citizen. he is a citizen of kenya. did it surprise you that at this point in our history they
embraces that that this is now, as president obama has said, a choice election. those who voted for president bush in 2004, but gave barack obama a margin of victory of only .4% tour years ago. representative ryan found a way to marry his reputation with his new role as the campaign attack dog. among other things, he said president obama lacks a moral compass and his administration is, quote, bloated, wasteful and corrupt. normal norl unemployment north carolina unemployment 9.4% today. since president obama took office, 71,000 jobs lost in north carolina. 435,000 people out of work in north carolina. you know what, north carolina, we can do better than this. now, for his part, governor romney in hashing back to president obama s now famous
