Trying To Decide About November?

[M]

Thanks to Carl LaFong for this one;

PRESIDENCY

SOME WILL 
APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.

HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS 
TRUE.

After  Three years of Obama ...

Just take this last item: In the 
last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 
27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's 
history.
Over 27 times as fast. 
Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH 
and a car rockets past you in the left lane. 
27 times faster, it would be doing 
7,555 MPH!

So, tell me 
again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? 
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 29 months -- 
so you'll have about 8 months to come up with an answer. Every statement 
in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack 
Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely 
verifiable.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ 
THIS...

I WONDER IF THIS IS THE KIND OF CHANGE PEOPLE WERE HOPING FOR WHEN THEY VOTED 3 YEARS AGO?

17.5 T went to foreign banks last year from the Federal Reserve, add that one.

Prescription Drugs, Medicare, Medicaid together = 160 T

Trying to come to a ballpark figure on the REAL debt is almost impossible.

Jay the post just contained the most blatant but verifiable items. I am sure this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
