What The Heck Has Obama Done For Me?
The Obama campaign has created an interactive website that allows voters to see how the President’s policies have directly affected them, their families, and their neighbors.
For example, in Omaha, Nebraska, President Obama‘s policies have added 21,200
private sector jobs from February 2010 to July 2012, and 40,456
small businesses in Nebraska are eligible for one of the President’s 18 small business tax cuts.
Also in Omaha, President Obama’s policies have helped 106,000 kids under 19, who can now no longer be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition, and 306,915 women in Nebraska, who will gain access to birth control with no copay next year, in addition to their existing preventive services, not to mention, 15,000 uninsured young adults in Nebraska are now covered by their parents’ insurance.
What the heck has President Obama done for you, for your family, your neighbors, and the country? A heck of a lot more than you think.
Not good enough? Try this, and this.
