Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane. 
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH!

THE PRESIDENCY
 
SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.
HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.  
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 24 months -- so you'll have one year and ten months to come up with an answer.
Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

  1. When you inherit 2 wars, with dozens of politically connected contractor corporations, you are going to get debt. When you inherit an economy that has tanked and had it's foundation eroded away by tax exemptions, you are going to get debt.
    When you inherit a Government encouraged corporate culture that thinks it is better to offshore employment than it is to hire Americans, you are going to get Unemployment.

    No one likes where the USA is today, but I hasten to say, it would be worse under a Republican.

  2. Sorry, too little too late. Can't blame anyone else but the one responsible. Barrack Obama! Under the Republicans this would NEVER have happened!
    Dont forget who it is that likes to collect governement checks in the form of welfare, food stamps and unemployemnt. Its the Democrats! Always has been, always will be. And the rest of the people who work PAY for them! Now they want to increase the national debt! Are you KIDDING? Economic suicude a la Obama.
