During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, "We the People of the U.S.A." produced the following:
22 aircraft carriers,
8 battleships,
48 cruisers,
349 destroyers,
420 destroyer escorts,
203 submarines,
34 million tons of merchant ships,
100,000 fighter aircraft,
98,000 bombers,
24,000 transport aircraft,
58,000 training aircraft,
93,000 tanks,
257,000 artillery pieces,
105,000 mortars,
3,000,000 machine guns, and
2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama Administration couldn't even build a web site that worked.

U.S.A. !!
Back to Back World War Champions!
Yeah and he probably spent more money.
On top of that, Obama has defined what it means to be a coward and a traitor with no respect for our Constitution. He single handed made us a second rate country....and so is the ever lasting legacy of our first black president. No courage, no morals, no respect for our folks in uniform and a disdain for the American way of life = king Obama and his communist cabinet!
Obama did what he promised, he Changed America, we now are 2nd or 3rd. in the world, we are no longer respected, anywhere!
