Hot air for the masses and how they flock to the flame blindly believing they will be rewarded. Let's have a quick look at where the Nation is today under Obama and his campaign promises:
- Troops still deployed in Afghanistan, now there are Barry's behest
- GITMO is still open and running better than ever, facility improvements are underway
- The Federal deficit is at $15.7 Trillion dollars and climbing due to record spending by Obama, more than any other president in the history of the nation
- Create jobs? Unemployment is as high as it has ever been in the last 60 years
- Lower the number of impoverished citizens? Today 1 in 7 US citizens qualifies for food stamps.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
