Let's HOPE for CHANGE in November, 2012
The following e-mail was sent on to me from a friend.

As we approach the end of President Obama's third year in office, I think this needs to be passed around so that everyone is aware of what he has accomplished so far:
Thank you to all my fellow citizens who helped make this possible by voting for this inexperienced, ideological radical, unaccomplished shell of a candidate. Please wake up to the FACTS.
Oh, wait - I know!!! IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!

in the oval office. The market had been too hot for too long, values couldn't keep
rising at the rate they were at.The bubble had to pop it was over inflated.

trend of having a Democratic president reducing our debt would continue like
with Carter and Clinton but he's spending like a Bush or Reagan did.

Both are free markets!
I also don't see what control a president has over personal debt.
Carl Hicks - Jan 06, 2012 9:15 AM
gasoline, unemployment and the one item on your list a president has the most
control over,federal debt.

The nationwide average price dropped to $1.648 a gallon, down 0.7 cents from Wednesday's $1.655, according to motorist group AAA. The survey bases its information on credit card swipes from up to 100,000 service stations across the nation.
Maybe you filled up at the wrong stations. I assume Wisconsin was part of the "across the nation"

actually want something to change.
Know this! The fat cats in DC are very comfortable with the status quo.

MGarber's law: The chances that someone doesnt understand what "facts" mean, increases with their use of the word. Capitalizing the word doubles that probability.

compare the numbers by percentage and tell me who did better.
Bush took us from about 5% to almost 8% a roughly 50% increase.
Obama took us from about 8% to about 10% a 20% increase.
Percentage wise Bush's number is over twice as high!

BTW.
5 -> 8 = 3/5 = 60% increase.
8 -> 10 = 2/8 = 25% increase
but, like they say, close enough for engineering work (or for purposes of comparison).

I couldn't find an earlier version from before the facebook page. Or more accurately I do care to look any further for the origin of the chart.

Hemmer wants subsidised gas. Gas subsidized by giving away the environment to the oil companies at no charge, and perhaps a tax break to boot, to encourage them to wreck the environment.
It's called capitalism.

I am, well, just so taken aback by that.
