Under Obama, poverty in the United States has nearly reached 1960's levels (see article by Hope Yen and Liz Sidoti, Associated Press Writers, "US poverty on track to post record gain in 2009", Sept 11), and this result from the most caring presidency in history, and while driving the jobless rate to record levels, and while halting all off-shore oil drilling, and while nationalizing the auto industry and the finance industry, and while pitching cap and trade to ruin what's left of our economy, and while forcing green energy down our throats, and while nationalizing our healthcare. Anyone want to discuss unintended consequences? Or perhaps this was all intended after all.
Obama has been a failure in everything he's touched, especially the economy (unless you believe that he's intended to do all of the damage that's been a result of his rulings). Obama has been running an administration of Ludites who are attempting to halt progress and the advancement of the nation's economy, with the poorest among us suffering the most. At the same time that poverty has been on the rise in the U.S., Obama and his liberal pals in the legislature have been intentionally destroying jobs at a unprecedented pace (example: shutting down all oil drilling off-shore) and have not listened to conservatives' warnings of the danger to the economy presented by their socialist tinkering. So the dependence on government that the Democrats want so desperately to impose on the United States is doing exactly what they want it to do: make our nation increasingly subservient to, and dependent on, the government for our existence.
Liberals/progressives must be defeated and run out of Washington before they totally destroy the nation.
