It’s January 3rd, and all today’s talk goes toward the Iowa caucus, which is ongoing right this very moment.
But instead of directing your attention to those Republican candidates (who seem to be competing over who will lower taxes on wealth the most and which one will take away the most civil rights), let’s reflect back to this same day four years ago, when another candidate from another party won the Iowa caucus.
Four years ago on Jan. 3, 2008, Barack Obama made a victory speech in which he detailed four particular campaign promises: Make healthcare affordable, reduce taxes on middle-class America, end the war in Iraq, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
All four of those campaign promises have been kept in the three years he’s been in office. (Sources verifying each in same order previously listed: 1, 2, 3, 4).
