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!Sources:(1) U.S. Energy Information

It has only taken Obama two years to do this much damage to America.
Imagine how much more he can do in two more years.
Imagine how much more he would do with a second four-year term.
How’s that socialism workin’ out for ya?

“Imagine how much more he would do with a second four-year term.”
And imagine a voting populace that gives him an electoral college victory for his second four-year term.
Truth be known, I’m still beside myself over the voting populace having given him his *first* four-year term.
It’s beyond ridiculous. When you factor in voter spiritual blindness with the duplicity of the media, it’s hard not to be cynical and pessimistic even when Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

The Republican party needs to pass this out at Every Rally, and it needs to be mailed to EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN THE UNITED STATES.
But when they mail it to the Democratic Community, it needs to read:
“After two years of the current administration, here’s your change.”
