I am not thankful. Are you?

On November 4, 2008, nearly 70 million Americans voted to put Barack Obama in charge of fixing the economy.

He’s had three years. Are you better off? I’m not.

Barack Obama promised to help the poor.

But under his leadership, 3.8 million more Americans slipped below the poverty line.

13.3 million more Americans now require food stamp assistance to put food on the table.

Obama promised to add 2.5 million jobs to the U.S. economy.

But under his leadership, the economy has lost 2.57 million jobs.

And the average time unemployed Americans have been unemployed has doubled.

Obama said Bush had hurt average Americans.

But under Obama’s leadership, the average American family’s annual income has decreased by more than $2,500 while their average health plan premium has increased by more than $2,300.

That’s a net loss of $5,000 a year in disposable income and those dollars we do have now buy a lot less than they did in 2008.

When Obama took office, inflation was at .03%; it’s now at 3.77%.

The price of gasoline has doubled and the cost of food and other staples has gone up, in some cases dramatically.

Meanwhile, our houses have lost value.

When Obama took office, the national debt stood at 10.6 trillion.

Obama had criticized Bush for adding to the national debt, but the truth is that it took decades of over-spending by both Democrats and Republicans to get it to that point.

So why, if he knew debt was bad, did Barack Obama oversee the addition of $4 trillion more in just three years?!

Barack Obama has already started asking us to give him four more years in office.

What I want to know is … why the hell should we?!
