We have been told that President Obama is ahead in the polls and that the election is over. Really? We’ve had unemployment at more than 8 percent for the last 3 plus years; it’s closer to 15 percent without the spin. They tout “4.5 million new private sector jobs,” but there’s a million fewer people working than when Obama took office. There are huge tax increases coming after the election.

College tuition is up 25 percent. Gas prices have more than doubled. Forty percent of new college graduates can’t find a job and are living with a relative. Middle class income is down $5,000 per year per family. Home prices have dived 40 percent and are still dropping. Food is up nearly 25 percent.

Our debt under Obama increased more than all previous presidents combined. Four more years for what? To finish “fundamentally transforming” this nation?

I love America. Maybe we should get someone in office again who knows how to fix broken companies and bring us together rather than race baiting and dividing us.
