The price of a gallon of gas was $1.80 four years ago. Wrap your brain around a $16 trillion dollar debt. $16,000,000,000,000. Dependency on the government is not the answer to reduce the poverty level. We should encourage businesses to invest and hire more employees rather than penalizing them for success. This President has created an atmosphere of uncertainty and businesses are holding trillions of dollars rather than investing in their companies.
Is it bloviating when we ask why President Obama watched 4 of our citizens, including the US Ambassador to Libya, were under attack for 7 hours as he made a political decision not to try a rescue? He jetted off to Vegas the next morning for a campaign fund raiser and sent his surrogates out to blame the attack on a spontanious protest over a video. When the bodies of the dead were flown back to the states, President Obama was 45 minutes late for the ceremony. A glaring example of his shameful disrespect and disconnect from reality.
Is it bloviating when pointed out that the unemployment rate is still just a tick under 8%? It was 5.8% in 2008. The poverty rate has also gone up over the last 4 years. It's the highest since Bill Clinton was President in 1993. Oh, but I guess it's George Bushes fault.
Is it bloviating to ask why President Obama blocked the oil pipeline from Canada, killing thousands of jobs and a source of low cost, high quality Candian crude? Take a look at the pipeline map at the following link and ask yourself how much one more would increase the danger to the environment?

George Bush has been blamed the last 4 years for an anemic economy. Who will President Obama blame the next 4 years? The budget deficit, as a percentage against GDP, is 8.3% under Obama. That's
twice the rate of any other president. George Bush was at 3.2%
President Obama has four more years to turn the economy around an put Americans back to work. We all hope he can get it done this time.
