What Hope and Change Look Like After 3 Years...

Nearly 88 million Americans are out of work. Unemployment is dropping because we don't count those who simply give up. If you counted those who gave up looking for work, along with those still looking but unemployed, then true unemployment is around 19%. Even then, unemployment just dropped from 8.3% to 8.2%. Big time stuff there. In the black community, under 57% of men over the age of 20 have a job. Less than 60% of college graduate are able to find a job.

Around 14% of the nation is on food stamps.

More debt has been added to this country in three years under Obama than was added in eight years under Bush.

25% of US homeowners are "under water."

Grocery prices are rising at an alarming rate.

When George Bush left office gas was $1.84 per gallon, down from its high of about $3.65 or so, and every Democrat who could find face time blamed Bush for the gas prices. Now that gas is $3.94 per gallon (and $7/gallon in places in California), we're told that it is not the President's fault. Even though this Administration's own Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, said that we needed to get gas prices here to the same levels as Europe ($8-$10 per gallon).

Obama himself stated that under his energy policies, energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.

Then again, Valerie Jarret told us that Obama would be "ready to RULE from day one" (emphasis added). I guess this is what Democrat rule looks like. Of course, all you have to do to see what Democrat rule looks like is look at Chicago and Detroit.
