If we address the National Debt item only then we see: 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! and we are being told that the George W. Bush recession caused that? Here is an analogy, 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 1,755 MPH!

America simply can not afford another 4 years of Barack Hussein Obama.

This is a GREAT thing to leave around other boards in and around the internet.
Although liberals usually don’t bother with facts, it might sway a few independents.
Not only can we not afford another 4 years of the stain...we cannot afford another 4 years of the handlers, manager, czars, and various commmunist/socialist/islamic/muslim/dem/lib/prog/pop that sit one or two levels below the stain.
The regime...the stain....must be ERADICATED! NOW!
Double bump.
