Good public policy and management, economics, facts and statistics, established historical fact of prior actions, et al mean nothing to the 110 million people (I won’t say Americans or citizens because no one can say 100% actually are either) who get a government check of some sort or another (not SS or Medicare).
Spend twenty minutes Googling and the facts show that the number of these people have significantly increased during Obama’s tenure....25% of all SSA outlays are for SSI and SSDI (while SSI is a general fund expenditure, SSA administers the program).....47 million are on Food Stamps.....46 million pay no Federal Income tax......6-7 million receive EITC..... 5 million on Section 8.......15 million on TANF (welfare).......and there are more programs, grants and giveaways (ObamaPhone, for example).
We, America, have become the joke of the world - the cornucopia of all wants and desires, only a welfare application away for most. Rational thought and appeals for America’s financial well being mean nothing to its leeches as long as they continue to get their check. And, they would vote for the Devil himself to keep them.
Michelle and Bill’s speeches give Left huge bump.
The GOPe power grab shuts the door for Romney victory.

When Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer got thru with us!!!
Based on unemployment, inflation and interest rates, the recession of 1981-82 was worse. Unemployment during the early ‘80s reached 10.8 percent, inflation 13.5 percent, and prime interest rates reached 21.5 percent. During this so-called “Great Recession,” the numbers peaked at 10.2 unemployment, 5.6 percent inflation and 7.25 percent for the prime interest rate.
