Perspective

This post is lifted in whole from a comment on one of my favorite blogs, Sandrak.

avatar_429 Tell him this:

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. For the first six the economy was fine.

Then, about a year and a half ago when
1)Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES kept establishing record highs
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!

Politicians convinced Americans that they needed ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress.  Since then we have seen that CHANGE’ !

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now around $4 a gallon!
3) Unemployment is over 5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS with prices and list values prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) THE DOW doesn’t know whether to shit or go blind, so it keeps closing one eye and farting.

$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM INVESTORS’ STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS, AND VARIOUS PORTFOLIOS!

YES.  IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!...AND WE SURE AS HELL GOT IT!!!....NOW THE DEMS’ CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT--AND BOTH THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA AND MOST OF THE POLLS SAY HE’S GONNA BE ‘THE MAN’--CLAIMS HE’S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!

HFS, MR. SOETORO!  JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YA THINK WE CAN ENDURE?

I couldn't have said it better myself Eros Total.
