When Obama took office gas was 1.75 Now it's 3.71
People on welfare went from 31.9 million to 46.4 million
Oil Drilling permits under Clinton rose 58%. Under Bush up 116%. Under Obama DOWN 36%
Americas credit rating downgraded for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. Lets not forget about that.
Losing half a million dollars on Solyndra.
Losing how much else on failing 'green energy' companies?
We get about HALF of our energy from coal.
Not only are we closing plants down
but Obama has said that if someone wants to open a new one they will "probably go bankrupt" because of his policies.

Alternative energy is a HUUUGE market, and if there is one way to boost an economy which is still dependent on oil/coal its is investing in new energy sources and alternative energy. This is one MAJOR thing in Europe and likely plays a huge role in the current success of Germany right now - BIIIG players when it comes to alternative energy R&D.
Any president in the US would be very smart to realize this
it would make a lot of sense to gradually get away from oil/coal and start investing and research MUCH MORE into alternate energies - also and mainly because it would be one huge opportunity to get the economy up.
There is a reason for those policies.
But some people can obviously not see the bigger picture.

Exactly, how anyone could possibly support Romney is beyond me. If you think Obama bankrupted America what do you thing another Republican war will do?

Obama was suppose to close down Gitmo, didn't happen. How much does it take the run that? Obama said he was going to end the corruption in the banking system, didn't happen. How many CEO's and bankers went to jail? Most of them, responsible for the collapse, still hold their same positions. Bush era tax cuts were suppose to be long gone, yep, didn't happen. Taxing the businesses that run America were suppose to fix the jobs situation...wait, the jobs report came out and we are sitting at 7.8% unemployment you say?
So I ask, please tell me how these things above are looked over when Obama's ENTIRE CAMPAIGN was run based off this and he won due to these?? Go ahead, I'll be waiting to hear something EDUCATIONAL come from liberals and racists...yes that's right, there is no such thing as reverse racism, it's all the same thing.
Yup.. you are right.. Obama failed on those VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES and many Liberals I have heard are disappointed. I am Liberal and I am currently disappointed with my Liberal friends who know have Obama posters all over the place. I would have hoped there would have been more dialogue about these key points but alas.. just "vote Obama".. blah blah and of course now we have another far right wacko running against him (But looks better than Cain) so ..... here we go again.. can't have Romney so we must vote Obama.
What a choice? What a world.
I am obviously not racist and i do believe a lot of the irrational attacks on Obama (and trust me they are irrational.. such as "He is a Muslim, He isn't an US Citizen etc.. ) are very racist. If you want to call Obama on his failures do it on his failures not on some made up knee jerk BS.
Truth is.. he is much a part of the system as Romney is, as Ryan is, as Bush was... etc. etc. etc ... that is why things haven't changed...
I am probably going to write in my vote but I am not saying for who.....
