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!

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 4 months to come up with an answer.

Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to barack hussein obama.

Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.


EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS...

I WONDER HOW MANY

WILL FORWARD THIS?

So it's all one man's fault that prices go up?  This goes for anyone democrat or republican. Prices will always go up regardless of who is in office.

I did a research paper on this topic in class, I discovered that by the year 2050 their won't be any money left for those wishing to apply for social security, unemployment, food stamps, cash assistance or taxes it's a sad situation. So I put as a theory why can't they print more money but then they would have to cut down more trees and not to mention the cause of this world being the way it is today. It's not the government its the people and always wanting more and the birth rates are way to high which causes a lot of this drama.  Some of the blame is on the government for sending our jobs over seas and allowing persons to obtain green cards to enter our states without the proper way of receiving one.

In answer to cateyes1, everything you said is so true and it is the fault of this administration.  Wait until your higher electric rates kick in because the EPA has closed down nearly all of the coal-burning power plants thanks to Obama.  Ask the people that live in WV what has happened to them.

It's hypocritical for the 'repugnant' party to blame a democratic president for situations which they, ('repugs'), directly contributed negatively to.  Those include the economy and backing their oil buddies, (the Bushes, specifically).  Prices rise because companies blame shareholders for wanting higher profits and that continues until a massive recession/crash occurs.
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

I agree, it's a horrible use of typing space and I didn't read it because of it, either say who you like and who you are voting for or not...  :BangHead:
