Which Product was More Dishonestly Marketed: Amazing Live Sea Monkeys, or Barack Obama?

Kids of a certain age remember ads for Amazing Live Sea Monkeys. They ran in the backs of comic books. The ads promised that Amazing Live Sea Monkeys would hatch, grow, and become your friends.

Despite their skepticism of the young, inexperienced senator, many Americans fell in love too.

Barack Obama promised to have an open, transparent government. Until he started pitching his healthcare idea.

Once the American people found out what was in it, the majority didn’t want it. But that didn’t stop anything.

Obamacare was supposed to make healthcare more affordable. Instead, it’s turning out to be a tax enforced by the IRS that you can’t escape.

Obama has re-written the law 27 times on the fly. He gave corporations and unions breaks. You’re still stuck with the taxes and mandates. The man who first seemed like this.

But buying into the Barack Obama hype is proving far more costly.

Disappointment with Barack Obama will last a lot longer than disappointment with Amazing Live Sea Monkeys.
