Barack Obama's 32 Month Report Card


by Rich Carroll


Copy this article. You will need researched material to mail your liberal friends and/or relatives.



Mr. Hope and Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspiration and opportunity, and punishes those who strive to succeed.



A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated was $1.79 on average in the U.S. Today that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase. The number of food stamp recipients has risen since Obama took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump. Long term unemployment soared 146.2% during the same 32 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000. Staggering hope and change isn't it?



American citizens living in poverty have risen 9.5% from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000, and the number of unemployed has jumped almost 25% from 11,616,000 to 14,485,000 as of August 31, 2011. The number of unemployed blacks has risen from 12.6% at the end of George Bush's term to 15.8% today, a 25.4% increase, and finally, our national debt is up 34.4% from 10.627 trillion to 14,278 trillion *


Keep these figures in mind as we recount the number of firsts for this presidency:



First President to refuse to show a valid birth certificate.
First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.


First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.


First President to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States .


First President to violate the War Powers Act.


First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico .


First President to defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.


First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party.


First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.


First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.


First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.


First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S. , including those with criminal convictions.


First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.


First President to terminate Americas ability to put a man in space.


First President to encourage racial discrimination and intimidation at polling places.


First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.


First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.


First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly speak-out on the reasons for their rate increases.


First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state they are allowed to locate a factory.


First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN)


First President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago.


First President to fire an inspector general of Ameri-corps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case.


First President to appoint 45 Czars to replace elected officials in his office.


First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office.


First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.


First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it.


First President to coddle American enemies while alienating Americas allies.


First President to publicly bow to Americas enemies while refusing to salute the U.S. Flag.


First President to go on multiple global apology tours.


First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends, paid for by the taxpayer.


First President to refuse to wear the U.S. Flag lapel pin.


First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife.


First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000.00 a year at taxpayer expense.


First President to repeat the Holy Qur'an tells us, and openly admit the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth.



Remember that 32 months of Obama White House we the people have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our nation's entire history, as the Obama's plan their next extravagant vacation to the Indonesian Island nation of Bali .



Hope and change anyone ?????????

I wouldn't send this to too many people. You may end up quite embarrassed. Four of the first five "Firsts" are not true. That doesn't really make you want to consider the rest seriously.

And then the use of statistics when there is a political agenda should give you pause to think. Remember, the average adult American has a 32A chest, needs just one of the A cups, stands 5'6", and has a 3 inch *****.

Happy Thanksgiving.

If you do some honest checking, most all of those statements are incorrect and the rest are half truths. When in doubt check the following sites.

So at least he can't be blamed for that one, since he didn't actually do anything. :D

I don't know about factcheck, but snopes has been proven to lie in support of Obama.

I paid $1.35 in January 2009 because that was when the economy crashed.

I remember paying over $3 a gallon in early 2008. I only remember because it was costing about $100 a week just to commute to work in my truck at the time

Yep. I remember that too in July 2008. I paid $3.50 a gallon at a time I was having to commute 160 miles, 3 days a week. It almost broke me. Then the banking crisis hit and in Tennessee I bought gas for $1.35 at a truck stop off of I-65 in Jan. 2009.

Now I pay $3.20 again?

Yeah it didn't last long around here in 2009. A few weeks at the most then it was back above $2.00.

I didn't have time to check every fact. I think gas was around 2.30 in 2008, but my memory sucks. I think a lot depends where you live regarding gas prices, I know when I travel I see a wide range of prices depending which state I am in.

I don't know about your memory and wouldn't imply its deficiencies. However, "your facts" at a minimum seem to be inhaling a massive volume of wind. Of course, this is open for debate and given the audience, you will unquestionably win by a landslide.

My unsolicited suggestion would be to consider "taking time" to check "your political facts", (irrespective of gas prices) before proudly and carelessly clicking the send button. Otherwise, you are either spreading half truths or blatant lies. I know of NO other options. It seems to me your approach in this thread is to never let facts get in the way of a good story. In which case, it's unlikely (as stated above) to serve its intended purpose of convincing others to share your political view. On the other hand, your input on firearms is likely to be 'spot on' and greatly appreciated by many.

Regardless, I'm sure you are a well-meaning individual who is rabid in his belief that the potus is not your guy. I think I get it! Happy Thanksgiving to all and may God Bless. I'm moving over to some firearm related discussion. BTW...Birth certificates? That act is so tired. G'day!

My spidy senses predict ugly in the near future. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. This one's gone.
