VERY INTERESTING
Wondering why there’s little or nothing left in the bank before next payday? It is because of the hopeless change!
PRESIDENCY SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT. HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.
After three years of Obama ...Here's your change!

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!

Of Labor; (7) FHFA; (8) Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller; (9) RealtyTrac; (10) Heritage Foundation and WSJ; (11) The Conference Board; (12) FDIC; (13) Federal Reserve; (14) U.S. Treasury 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 29 months -- so you'll have about 11 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.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS... I WONDER HOW MANY WILL FORWARD THIS?

FORMAT FAIL! Yikes!
O-baaaa-maaa um um um
AAA rating to AA rating. Thanks, zero for all the change!!

Why, the newspapers and TV and such all agree that everything has been going so well since 2008, and as a bonus they assure
us we’ve got Mitt standing in the wings to make things even better—only this time, with our stamp of approval.
It would very telling if someone were to make an exhaustive list of the changes obamma has created in an easy to read format during his term of office.
