Obama took office and unemployment was 7.8% in the US

He promised it would remain below 8% if we passed the $700,000,000,000 economic stimulus (~$2,000 from every US citizen, including babies...)

Now it is 9.1% and climbing... (So much for his promises)

Now here's a graph you can really learn to love, Obama supporters. Anything in gray was what Bush added to the deficit, anything in red Obama added.

Obama will have added more to the deficit than any president before him. (in percentage and in value)

Re-elect Obama = Bankrupt the United States... See whats going on in Greece right now? Yeah, that will be US if we re-elect Obama...

It doesn't matter who wins. Neither party is really interested in fixing things.

You can't get elected to the highest office without being owned by the 1% that control everything.

Retired folks, middle-class, main-street, we are toast.

Actually, TARP was passed under President Bush, so where is the $700 billions laid out for that? And where are the costs of the Iraqi and Afghani wars?

The chart is quite misleading.

Obama will win. The GOP's early attempt at a united front will dissolve. The Tea Party is an iron wedge that will split the party.

Ron Paul, is the only viable GOP candidate. But, the truly big power in this country (media, military industrial complex, insurance lobby, etc) will work to erode or overshadow his support.

But perhaps I am wrong.

Tell me how. Please be specific.

By the way, I feel that it would take a crop of candidates FAR worse than we have now to find one that would lose to Obama under the above stated conditions.

Most people don't follow politics that closely. After the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOURS of political advertisements that will be aired from now until then I think people will vote for any sort of change. (Now where have I heard that word "change" before? )

Hope don't pay the mortgage.
With the help of the left wing main stream media....the same way he did the first time.

It isn't even about TARP-- it is about the trillions Obama has added AFTER Tarp and continues to add!!
