Barack Obama's 32 Month Report Card
A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated averaged $1.79 in the U.S. Today, that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase.
Since Obama took office, the number of food stamp recipients has risen from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, an increase of 35.1%.
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?
The number of Americans living in poverty increased 9.5%, from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000.
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 increased from 12.6% at the end of George Bush's term, to 15.8% today - an increase of 25.4%.
Our national debt is up 34.4%, from 10.627 trillion to 14,278 trillion *
Keep the above figures in-mind as we recount some of the "firsts" for this president:

First President whose constitutional eligibility to be President was on trial in a court of law, AND who considered himself to be above the law by failing to appear for his trial (yesterday, 1/26/12, in Georgia).
In 34 months of the Obama White House, 'we the people' have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times faster than 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?
