Obama's Change - Facts Show No Hope (For Him)

Received this email today.

For all those folks who voted for and continue to support all that "Hope and Change you can believe in," here's some of the "changes" caused in the past two years.

Any high school grad should be able to connect the dots on this to know that the guy in the oval office is not anyone's friend.

Here's Your Change

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!

THE PRESIDENCY

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 24 months -- so you'll have one year and ten months to come up with an answer.
