The president also said the United States is in the middle of the “longest streak of private sector job creation in history,” adding that 14 million new jobs have been created.

It’s hard for Soetoro the King to understand. He isn’t down here where the rubber meets the road. Where Americans have to get up every morning to got to work. Where money is stolen out of their paychecks by his government. Where people live who don’t go to Hawaii for the holidays every year. He doesn’t have to pay for utility bills. He doesn’t have to buy gasoline to drive to work everyday. KMA Soetoro. “Things are not terrible” FOR YOU!
