The jobless rate is a full 1.5 points over Mr Obama's guaranteed 8%. You remember that promise, it was back when he rammed the oh-so-well-thought-out 900 billion dollar 'stimulus' bill through. You know the one nobody was given a chance to read before it's passage. Kinda like buying yourself a 500k home on credit and hanging the loan on your kids who aren't even born yet. Not to worry folks, trust us. We'll make the rich pay the tab. And the news media fawned, and the masses cheered...
No President and his party through their whole tenure in office has ever pissed away the mind numbing amounts of money the current administration has. Incredibly these folks have accomplished it in their first 6 months in power, and there's much more to come.
No President in our history will ever come even remotely close to the damage Mr. Obama and the Dimocracks will do over the next 3 1/2 years. The only question is will we manage to remain the proudly independent United States of America or be molded into a second rate European style social democracy.
