One question has to be asked, "Is America better off today than 6 months ago?"

Reagan once asked Americans during a debt with Jimmy Carter, "Are they better off today, than they were 4 years ago?"

Barack Obama today in a closed door meeting with heavy weight Democratic Fundraisers raddled off a list of so-called measures that were suppose to have made America better and the need to expand Democrat Majorities in the Congress.

Now 6 months in the New Democrat Golden Age which features a rubber stamp House and a Filbuster Proof Senate(not including Franken and RINO Help) I am asking the question that Reagan asked of America once and that the MSM does not have the balls to ask.

"Are you better off today than you were six months ago?"

Here are a few highlights or rather low lights from Obama and his Merry Bunch.

1)A failed Stimulus Bill, that no one took the time to read and simply passed along more debt to future generation, which has had no affect on the economy as a whole other than producing more debt.

2)Failure to confront the growing threat from North Korea and the Obama excuse happens to be that they can't hit Hi the West Coast or Ak yet, but one needs not hit the ground with a Nuke, ever heard of a EMP Burst? The North inches closer to America with each test.

3)Gave false hope to the Democratic Forces inside Iran and when they take to the streets to bring about change, he stood-by and said little as those forces were crushed and killed in the streets, but will defend and have much to say about a Leftist Latin American Leader, who seeks to take another term at will.

4)Obama and his ilk have whined for years about supposed Bush violations of civil liberties but now seeks to send the thugs from ACRON out to collect information on Americans to employ as needed if they rise up against the Dear Leader.

5)Willing to sell out America defensively as well as our ally Israel on the illusion of peace from terrorists and Marxist from Iran to North Korea.

6)Simply printing massive amounts money of no real value, while seeking to crush the private sector and bring that under government control thru appointed Czars and Government takeovers, rather than allowing those companies to fail and thus be forced to change business habits.

7)Obama and his Democrats Allies have turned over the government to Marxist Special Interest that are writing our laws and having Democrats simply pass bills without reading them, thus doing the same thing they once accused Republicans of doing not to long ago.

8)Obama seeks to control your health care, while exempting his political allies(elected officials and thugs unions) from the same control. Please we need only for them to do to health care, what they have done to public education in America.

9)While Americans are out working harder than ever in this Golden Are of Marxism to provide and survive, the Obamas are going out on date nights and eating well on our tax dollars, while the MSM Press tries to sell it as some type of Kennedy-Era Wet Dream.

10)Finally Americans will be punished each time they turn on a light in their home thru cap and trade, the Marxists will pass a bill they refuse to read, that will reduce the poor and working class to sitting in the dark at work and home, riding horse, taking the bus and even stop breathing as we exhale CO2, while they ride around in armored limos, private jets and lecturing the rest of us on greed and the need to be green.

We need to get ready to turn these clowns back in 2010 because Hope and Change has failed and Americans are paying the price daily thru more taxes, fees and regulation that has never and will never work.

Worse than 6 months ago by a mile. Worse than Jimmuh Carter days.

I cannot think of a single metric where the US, and we as American citizens are better off than six months ago. It has been downhill in every conceivable dimension. As my son would say "epic fail."

Unfortunately things are not bad enough to get a decent majority of Americans to agree. Too many uneducated and too many not paying attention. They can blame Bush for what’s bad and then sit dreamy eyed about all the wonderful things Obama is doing.

Ditto.

We are heading for times so tough it will make the Carter administration appear to have been run by brain surgeons.

“Are they better off today, than they were 4 years ago?”

That will be the political death knell of of congress in 2010, and make BHO a one-termer in 2012.

A rather simple question.

Might as well add in, “It’s the economy stupid” while we’re at it.

Well, six months ago I along with everyone else at my company was employed. The economy tanks, Obummer gets elected, venture capital disappears faster than Barney Frank at a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders reunion—and so does my company.

So yeah I'd say I was better off six months ago than I am now.

That’s right. All the crap Obama and his Leftist wrecking crew have wrought upon, and will wrought upon our hapless Nation before the next election cycle, yet it will be “the economy stupid” that will be the tipping point.

Well they cannot replay the fireside chats, because we can’t use energy. Most won’t be able to hear on a radio, and tv forget it. The energy nazi’s will come knocking on your door.

But he's trying his best to make the depression longer than FDR's 12 years!

Destroy our medical system, take away our energy and ability to be mobile, and reduce us to poverty.
