Obama's big word of the year is "change" as we all know now lets do the math... ?

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +

5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted

2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing

3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase)

4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;

5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

6) THE DOW is probing another low $2.5 Trillion dollars has evaporated from their Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds Investment Portfolios!

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....

REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.

AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND? <- This is the actual question

    ha.its sad. people will bash bush all the time but when you ask them who was the better candidate for the elections they just keep bashing bush and don't answer the question. bush hasn't done a bad job as president. i mean he did follow Clinton not to hard to compete against.

    Sooo what your saying is.....

    Nothing that Bush and the Republican controlled congress did in the six years prior to the Dems taking over caused any of this?? Nothing at all??

    Someone needs to do their homework before posting.
