Just how bad has Obama been for us?

For starters, Incomes have dropped twice as much during the ‘Recovery’ as during the Recession. So … how can this be called a recovery? Really there is no way.

But for an even more start view, this is a repost from the Economic Collapse Blog so you can read it without all the stinkin’ ads … It’s incredible.


And of course Obama is being delusional if he thinks that he is actually “running the economy”. The Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy and the U.S. financial system than he does. But the mainstream media loves to fixate on the presidency, so presidents always get far too much credit or far too much blame for economic conditions.

But if you do want to focus on “the change” that has taken place since Barack Obama entered the White House, there is no way in the world that you can claim that things have actually gotten better during that time frame. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that the U.S. economy has been steadily declining for over a decade, and this decline has continued while Obama has been living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

It is getting very tiring listening to Obama supporters try to claim that Obama has improved the economy. That is a false claim that is not even remotely close to reality. The following are 33 shocking facts which show how badly the U.S. economy has tanked since Obama became president…

#1 When Barack Obama entered the White House, 60.6 percent of working age Americans had a job. Today, only 58.7 percent of working age Americans have a job.

#2 Since Obama has been president, seven out of every eight jobs that have been “created” in the U.S. economy have been part-time jobs.


#4 It is hard to believe, but an astounding 53 percent of all American workers now make less than $30,000 a year.

#5 40 percent of all workers in the United States actually make less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968.

#6 When the Obama era began, the average duration of unemployment in this country was 19.8 weeks. Today, it is 36.6 weeks.



#9 When Obama was elected, the homeownership rate in the United States was 67.5 percent. Today, it is 65.0 percent. That is the lowest that it has been in 18 years.

#10 When Obama entered the White House, the mortgage delinquency rate was 7.85 percent. Today, it is 9.72 percent.

#11 In 2008, the U.S. trade deficit with China was 268 billion dollars. Last year, it was 315 billion dollars.

#12 When Obama first became president, 12.5 million Americans had manufacturing jobs. Today, only 11.9 million Americans have manufacturing jobs.




#16 When Barack Obama entered the White House, there were about 32 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 47 million Americans on food stamps.


#18 When Barack Obama took office, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $1.85. Today, it is $3.53.


#20 Health insurance costs have risen by 29 percent since Barack Obama became president, and Obamacare is going to make things far worse.



Bush Sr.: 11.3

Clinton: 11.2

Bush Jr.: 10.8

Obama: 7.8

#23 In 2008, that total amount of student loan debt in this country was 440 billion dollars. At this point, it has shot up to about a trillion dollars.

#24 According to one recent survey, 76 percent of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

#25 During Obama’s first term, the number of Americans collecting federal disability insurance rose by more than 18 percent.



#28 As I wrote about the other day, American households are now receiving more money directly from the federal government than they are paying to the government in taxes.


#30 At the end of 2008, the Federal Reserve held $475.9 billion worth of U.S. Treasury bonds. Today, Fed holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds have skyrocketed past the 2 trillion dollar mark.


#32 During Obama’s first term, the federal government accumulated more new debt than it did under the first 42 U.S presidents combined.

#33 When you break it down, the amount of new debt accumulated by the U.S. government during Obama’s first term comes to approximately $50,521 for every single household in the United States. Are you able to pay your share?

Stand up for your Civil Rights

Civil Rights: Personal liberties that belong to an individual, owing to his or her status as a citizen or resident of a particular country or community.

Civil rights belong to each of us as individuals. The government can not restrict them or take them away without a Constitutional Amendment. We MUST fight to preserve them and elect people who will lead that fight.

If you feel the government is infringing on these civil rights, call your congressman and demand that he/she defend your civil rights! If they won’t, work to get a new congressman elected next time.

The government is not allowed to establish an official religion (including atheism), nor can they prevent you from worshiping according to the dictates of your conscience.

The government can not abridge (diminish, lessen, restrict, curtail) these rights: Speech, the press, peaceable assembly, petition the government to fix things we think they are doing wrong, to keep have, carry and use weapons.

The government can not search or take away our property without a warrant based on evidence or a witness of wrong doing, that specifies exactly what they are looking for and where they will look.

The government can not put you on trial for a major crime without a Grand Jury indictment (Excluding the military during time of war or emergency). They cannot try you for a death penalty offense more than once if you are acquitted. They can not force you act as a witness against yourself, they cannot kill you or take away your freedom or property without “due process of law.” If the government needs to take your land for a public use, they must pay you a fair price.

If accused of a crime, you have a right a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury you have the right to be informed of the charges and why they were brought against you. You have the right to confront with the witnesses against you and have witnesses in your defense. You also have the right to an attorney. You have a right to a trial by jury, and higher courts can’t reverse the decision of a jury. The government can’t require excessive bail or fines, or impose cruel and unusual punishment.

A couple of other great things are that just because there is a list of rights, that doesn’t mean we the people can’t have other rights, and that any power not granted by the Constitution to the Federal Government, belongs to the States or We the People.

And that’s just the Bill of Rights!

So, get out there and stand up for your civil rights!

One of the big Communist Holidays

We only have 3 main Communist holidays (not that they are actually holidays) people in the United States acknowledge. One of them we don’t really observe – May Day (or International Workers’ Day – not the pagan holiday also called May Day, also May 1st) is the one where the Communists parade around their weapons through the streets, but in the US the illegal immigrants have been trying to get in on the action.

The Communists here tried to get Labor Day (the 2nd Communist Holiday we acknowledge) moved to May 1st, but they lost control of it and now it’s just last big BBQ of the Summer! Only the Communists try to keep the original intent.

The third Communist holiday comes up on Monday – Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, known more commonly by his alias V.I. Lenin, the father of the Communist Revolution in Russia. It was first celebrated in the United States on the 100th anniversary of his birth – Wednesday, April 22, 1970. They called it Earth Day.  It’s funny when you look on the Internet and you see all of these people trying to deny that that’s why the date was chosen, but there is plenty of evidence. Just to be logical, think about it, if you were starting a new “holiday” where you want a lot of people to participate in activities would you choose a Wednesday? I’m just sayin’… Gaylord Nelson was a Socialist, no use trying to deny it.

Anyway… In honor of the Communists, I’ve updated my Global Warming page on my Science blog. Please check it out. (I was up until 3AM writing it. :))

If you disagree – you can argue they are just stupid in the comments below…

An argument that shouldn’t win in a jr high debate… in the Senate?

Apparently the “Native American” (Cherokee I believe – watch the video and look up Elizabeth Warren if you don’t get it) senator from Massachusetts thinks that burger flippers have been the cause of American productivity gains over the last 50 years. What an idiot!
