Mr. Speaker, in an Associated Press article titled, ``As Obama accomplished goals, the Democratic party floundered,'' the disastrous statistics of the Obama legacy were revealed. The Associated Press analyzed: There's one number you will almost never hear: more than 1,030 seats. That's the number of spots in State legislatures, Governor's mansions, and Congress lost by Democrats during Obama's Presidency. It is a statistic that reveals an unexpected twist of the Obama years. The Associated Press went on to say: The defeats have all but wiped out a generation of young Democrats, leaving the party with limited power in statehouses and a thin bench to challenge an ascendant GOP majority eager to undo many of the President's policies . . . but, say experts, Obama's tenure has marked the greatest number of losses under any President in decades. When it comes time to the battle of programs, American families overwhelmingly choose limited government and expanded freedom over the alternative: Big Government and lesser freedom. This is clear with the failing of ObamaCare destroying jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Congratulations to our colleague Congressman Ted Poe on his remission under treatment of cancer. God bless Ted Poe. ____________________
