Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH!

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 40 months -- so you'll have about 2 months to come up with an answer. Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

youre racist!
The "Fundamental transformation of America" Obama got elected on...
Democrats are IDIOTS!
Chuck.
It's nuts than any informed intelligent person would ever vote for Obama. If asked they will say "he has got to finish what he has started." Right here is the list of what he has started.
I plead everyone watch " The Obama Deception" free on YouTube
Pedal to the metal.The faster you drive the more gas you burn.When Obama was in college he was caught speeding.50 in a 25 zone I believe.When the cop asked him why he was in such a great big hurry he pointed to his gas guage and said "I only have one eighth of a tank left.I'm hurrying to get to the gas station before I run completely out".That mentality has not changed.
And yet there are IDIOTS among us that will vote for this IDIOT again!
FACTS tend to get in the way of blind devotion. He is, undoubtably, the WORST president in modern history. This list proves it. And STILL, there are people, most of whom don't actually pay for very much, if any, of their own expenses, who will vote for this incompetent buffoon no matter WHAT he screws up. Try working for a living, you know, for a new perspective.
Can this person multiply?
