Mr. Hope and Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspiration and opportunity, and punishes
those who strive to succeed.
A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated was $1.79 on average in the U.S. Today that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase.
The number of food stamp recipients has risen since Obama took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump.
Long term unemployment soared 146.2% during the same 32 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000. Staggering ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ isn’t it?
American citizens living in poverty have risen 9.5% from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000, and the number of unemployed has jumped almost 25% from 11,616,000 to 14,485,000 as of August 31, 2011.
The number of unemployed blacks has risen from 12.6% at the end of George Bush’s term to 15.8% today, a 25.4% increase,
and finally, our national debt is up 34.4% from 10.627 trillion to 14,278 trillion *
Keep these figures in mind as we recount the number of firsts for this presidency.
Your math is off on the national debt by a tillion dollars.... its much worse than anyone even realizes and unless the GOP nominee can adequately describe the coming collapse of American under the Obama massive debt than the country is done. The correct campaign needs to paint the bold differences between Marxist Progressive Communism and Free Market capitalist Conservatism.
“Mr. Hope and Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspiration and opportunity, and punishes those who strive to succeed.”
A very good summation. Obama is all about statism, collectivism and controlling the people. In his distorted mind, individual liberty and freedom are obstacles to those objectives. Unfortunately, the congress is all too willing to go along with his program as long as they can keep their cushy jobs. We need to clean house, starting with the Narcissist-in-Chief, in 2012.
Freedom brought this country great opportunities and properity. Marxism has brought us economic hardship and malaise.
