By The states that voted to put Barack Obama in office are suffering for supporting him.
A recently releast Investor’s Business Daily report provides some telling data derived from comparing economic conditions in the so-called Blue States (those who voted for Obama) with those in the Red States that voted for John McCain.
Income growth in Blue States trails per capita income growth in Red States by about .07%.
Job growth which has been slow nationwide has Blue States lagging by .08%. Home prices in Red States actually climbed slightly by .03% but Blue State home prices dropped about 3.8%.
The latest unemployment rate for Blue Staters at approximately 8.5%, a was full 1.1% higher than it is in Red States.
The schadenfreude we who did not vote for Barack Obama can enjoy doesn’t stop with these measurements. Even though the price of gasoline at the pump has fallen “all the way” down to about $3.75 a gallon, the prices paid in most of the Bluest States and cities is still substantially higher than it is in many of the McCain supporting States.
Reviewing the ten states where the price of gas is the most expensive reveals all but one voted for Barack Obama.
Conversely, nine of the ten states where gasoline is least expensive supported John McCain. Blue Staters pay an average of 5% higher to fill up their tanks.
The reason for these disparities really isn’t a mystery: The states that voted for McCain are more likely to be run by Republicans who tend to favor less taxation and a more business friendly atmosphere.

Still the 0bam0nation tries to destroy red states every way he can.

He’s just got a head-start in the blue states.
Heres one way 0 is helping to destroy America, esp.Texas. He hates Gov. Perry.
While young immigrants have been picked up in increased numbers all along the southern border, the situation has become particularly acute in Texas. In one shelter at an Air Force base in San Antonio, about 200 children live in a squat, brown military barrack, sleeping on cots.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry criticized the situation in a letter to President Obama on Friday, calling the immigration surge a humanitarian crisis that the federal government wasn’t doing enough to alleviate. He noted that dozens of young immigrants to the US recently had to be quarantined due to a measles scare and an outbreak of chicken pox.
“By failing to take immediate action to return these minors to their country of origin and prevent others from coming, the federal government is perpetuating the problem,” the governor wrote.
