The Obama administration’s record from the outrageous to the absurd (unemployment, Congress)

[rogerbacon]

This was on Drudge so I'msure someone already posted this but I didn't see it. Its from the GOP but every number is linked to a source for those who want to fact check (actual website has clickable links but they did not remain clickable in the copy-paste below). The number that stood out to me: $43,000: Your Share Of The National Debt.. I think every American needs to get a letter every year mentioning how much they owe of the national debt as a sort of wake up call. Also, they should include the amount of interest each American is paying.

Absolutely disgusting track record. How can anyone say that Obama ISN'T Anti-American? He is single-handedly destroying our country one penstroke at a time.

good post. Says alot about the president

[AzScorpion12]

Don't worry,someone from the Left will be along soon to dispute the FACTS,call you a racist,and blame Bush!

[Frank DeForrest]

Duplicate.
There have been several threads listing off Obama's accomplishments

[dnvrsoul]

I read this.....it makes me sick
Obama's accomplishments? Is ruining this country one of them?

Also, a Gallop poll ( which could be incorrect) said the unemployment will be WAY over 10% when figures come out in November (ya think)?

[High_Plains_Retired]

Considering that nearly half Americans do not pay Federal taxes, that makes our share of the National Debt closer to $80,000.

[medicareblogger]

"Calculations by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and other independent fiscal experts show that the $1.1 trillion cost over the next 10 years of the Medicare prescription drug program, which the Republican-controlled Congress adopted in 2003, by itself would add more to the deficit than the combined costs of the bailout, the stimulus and the health care law."

The parties share blame for the current fiscal situation, but federal budget statistics show that Republican policies over the last decade, and the cost of the two wars, added far more to the deficit than initiatives approved by the Democratic Congress since 2006, giving voters reason to be skeptical of campaign promises." as reported in the NY Times.

The New York Times is far from perfect, but NYT as a source vs the Drudge Report is no contest.

[california-jewel]

Wow that is change for us HA. Accomplishments not to be proud of. Oh yeah boy he sure is a different kind of President, remember those words, he is a radical president, that does things his way, and to hek with everyone us, Well us Citizens.

The CBO only reports on what is given them by any Administration.

If the Obama folk gave them bad numbers it would explain everything they say.

Of course, no Administration ever underestimates the cost of a program.
