The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from 31.9 million when Barack Obama took office to 46.4 million today. How much more "hope and change" are we going to be able to endure?

The U.S. government has run a budget deficit of well over a trillion dollars every single year under Barack Obama.

Too much debt can cause bankruptcy, personally, for businesses and for the U.S. What will happen if the U.S. goes bankrupt?

Debt is borrowing money from the future because it has to be paid from future dollars. Our children will be working to pay the debt of today and not get anything in return.

Today, we are about to reach 16 Trillion in debt.

During the Obama administration, the U.S. national debt has grown more than it did from the time that George Washington became president to the beginning of Bill Clinton's second term as president. Obama will continue to borrow and spend on green energies if re-elected.

Under Barack Obama, the velocity of money (a very important indicator of economic health) has plunged to a post-World War II low.

This means that businesses are not investing and are not hiring. They are holding on to cash because they don't feel confident in Obama. It also means that people do not feel confident and are not spending money because they also can lose their jobs or if they did lose their jobs they just don't have enough money to make ends meet.

For the first time in the post-World War II era, the employment-population ratio has not bounced back after a recession. The percentage of working age Americans with a job has been below 59 percent for 44 months in a row.

The unemployment rate is at 8.3%, if count people who are now on welfare or who quick looking the actual unemployment rate is more like 12%. Unemployment for African Americans have also increased to 14%.

His mission is to bring America down to levels of others. He doesn't think it's fair that we've been the greatest country. His idea of American exceptionalism is a twisted version. To him, we don't deserve to be great

The Obama administration has ended two investigations into the actions of Goldman Sachs during the financial crisis, allowing the bank to escape any responsibility for it’s role in the near collapse of the US economy.

Obama administration’s failure to properly investigate the causes of the financial crisis. the Obama administration may be handing it and its peers new get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Psssst! Hey buddy! Got somethin for ya....The Republicans in Congress opposed the President's superior plans, plans that would've completely revived the economy and created millions of jobs. The Republicans in Congress and Republicans in general, they're THE problem. Got that?
