Got this in an email and it highlights what Obama will have to run on for reelection


Since Obama has been president:

* The number of unemployed people has gone from 12.5 million to 13.9 million, reflecting a net loss of well over 1 million jobs.

* The unemployment rate has been well above 8% for 24 consecutive months, and has been at 9.0% or higher for at least 14 of those 24 months.

* The national debt has risen by nearly 40%, going from $10.6 trillion in January 2009 to $14.3 trillion this month.

* Obama has added more debt in 27 months than Bush did during any 6 years of his presidency. From January 2001 to January 2009, the national debt rose from $5.7 trillion to $10.6 trillion--or $4.9 trillion in eight years. Obama, on the other hand, has already piled up $3.7 trillion of new debt in just 27 months.

* Obama has nearly tripled our rate of debt accumulation. Bush added debt at a rate of about $50 billion per month, but Obama is adding debt at a rate of over $130 billion per month.

* The dollar has lost over 15% of its value.

* Over 330 banks have failed.

* Gas prices have jumped to over $4 per gallon and have remained there for several months now.

* Obama cancelled all 77 new domestic oil and natural gas drilling leases that had been approved and that were in the process of being implemented. So much for energy independence.

* Well over 1 million home loans have suffered foreclosure, with 2010 seeing the highest number of foreclosures in over five years. This tragedy could have been avoided if the Dems had not pressured lenders to make home loans to low-income people in the first place and if Dems had not then repeatedly blocked Republican efforts to rein in Freddie and Fannie (who generated or guaranteed over $1 trillion in subprime loans, many of which were then later bundled into the toxic assets that wreaked such havoc on financial institutions).

* One of the supposed "success" stories has been Obama's bailout loan to GM-Chrysler. It's supposedly a success because we'll "only" lose $14 billion of the $80 billion. So, we're not even getting back all the principal on the loan, much less any interest, but we're losing $14 billion, or nearly 20% of the loan. (Why? One reason is that Team Obama didn't make GM restructure the way they should have.)




But I am sure Obama and his supporters will try to blame Bush, beg for more time, and try to shift the blame on the Republicans
