I'm sorry, putting Obama in office was a stupid decision. If you vote for him again, it just shows how lazy and uneducated Americans are. We have literally went 100% backwards with Obama. Romney knows business and the economy. Use your brain, vote Romney.

Republicans are not in office to serve and benefit ordinary Americans. They have shown time after time their disdain for struggling Americans by blocking and stopping any legislation from President Obama and Democrats to revive the economy and help struggling Americans.

This is why struggling Americans cannot reward them with our votes for standing with ccorporations, big oil, big pharma, the super rich and against struggling Americans. Republicans must be defeated for our great nation to progress.

Moreover, no republican supporter can cite any republican policy, stance, bill/legislation that favors struggling Americans over corporations, big oil, big pharma or the super rich.

Obama DOES NOT need a second chance. He should never have gotten the first chance. What a mistake this country made when he was elected.

Is the country better off today than it was 4 years ago? NO! We are more in debt than ever before! We hav 50% more Americans on food stamps! Gas prices have doubled in the past 4 years! 65% of American homeowners owe more money on their house than it's worth! Millions of Amerans do not show on the unemployment %'s because they've given up looking for work & many millions of Americans are underemployed! College graduates cannot find work or cannot find work in their field of study! American businesses are in shambles! Large corporations are cutting their full time work force to part time because they cannot afford Obamacare! American needs to wake up & say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE YOU'LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT & WE DON'T NEED 4 MORE YEARS LIKE THE LAST 4 YEARS!"

5 ECONOMIC REASONS TO RE-ELECT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION:
(with source references to back them up)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A COMPARISON ... BETWEEN ...

The Last Republican we had in the White House
(can anyone state with conviction that the yet to be defined RNC policies will differ from the previous administration?)

VS.

Current Administration ... leading the country forward, from the mess that was handed to it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

REASON # 1 - EMPLOYMENT SITUATION IMPROVEMENT

(a comparison between the Last Republican in
the White House ... vs. ... Current Administration)

The last 12 months of the last Republican President in the White House:

Feb '08 = -240,000 jobs lost
Mar '08 = -49,000 jobs lost
Apr '08 = +22,000 jobs gained
May '08 = -201,000 jobs lost
Jun '08 = -191,000 jobs lost
Jul '08 = -208,000 jobs lost
Aug '08 = -334,000 jobs lost
Sep '08 = -137,000 jobs lost
Oct '08 = -267,000 jobs lost
Nov '08 = -714,000 jobs lost
Dec '08 = -750,000 jobs lost
Jan '09 = -1,141,000 jobs lost

TOTAL = 4,210,000 jobs lost ... "4.2 MILLION" jobs lost in a 1 year time frame.

The Current Administration turnaround after spending it's first year fixing the mess that the Former Republican Administration left behind:
2010 = + 1,252,000 jobs GAINED
2011 = + 1,570,000 jobs GAINED
2012 (just for the months of January to October) = + 2,594,000 jobs GAINED

TOTAL JOB GAINS SINCE THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TURNED AROUND PREVIOUS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION MESS ... = + 5,416,000. (recovered 4.2 million + 1.2 million new jobs ... what if a 4.2 million hole did not exist to begin with?)

REASON # 2 -- U.S. MANUFACTURING JOBS RETURNING

(a comparison between the Last Republican in
the White House ... vs. ... Current Administration)

"MADE IN AMERICA" U.S. manufacturing jobs (exports).

The last Republican President we had in the White House had net losses of "MADE IN AMERICA" U.S. manufacturing jobs EVERY SINGLE YEAR, totaling to 4.6 million U.S. manufacturing jobs going overseas in 8 years.

Under the Current Administration, for the first time since Bill Clinton was President, the U.S.A. has had annual NET GROWTH of U.S. manufacturing jobs equal to the following:
2010 = +109,000
2011 = +233,000
2012 (Jan-to-Oct) = +158,000 (so far in 2012)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

REASON # 3 -- HOME VALUES RECOVERING

(a comparison between the Last Republican in
the White House ... vs. ... Current Administration)

Under the last Republican we had in the White House, home values "collapsed" and millions of Americans went "underwater" with their mortgages.

Since the Current Administration took office, the drop in home prices has stopped, and home values are back on the rise again...

Check out the CASE-SHILLER HOME PRICE INDEX below to actually see the difference...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

REASON # 4 -- STOCK MARKET RECOVERING

Under the last Republican we had in the White House, the stock market "crashed" (putting the nation in a "Great Recession").
--- The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Index had dropped down to "8,000" (Jan 2009) from the "13,000" it was at just 9 months earlier.

Under Current Administration, today, the DJIA Index is at "13,000"... approximately where it was at before the latest market "crash" we had under yet "another" Republican.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

REASON # 5 -- CAUSE FOR DEFICIT

(a distribution between the Last Republican in
the White House ... vs. ... Current Administration)

The Pew Center reported in April 2011 the cause of a $12.7 trillion "shift" in the debt situation "from a 2001 CBO forecast of a cumulative $2.3 trillion surplus by 2011" to the estimated $10.4 trillion public debt we actually faced in 2011. The major drivers were:

Revenue "declines due to the recession", separate from the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003: 28%
Defense spending increases: 15%
Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003: 13%
Increases in net interest: 11%
Other non-defense spending: 10%
Other tax cuts: 8%
Obama Stimulus: 6%
Medicare Part D: 2%
Other reasons: 7%

Yeshuratnam says:
Main issues highlighted and even advertised by Team Obama are 'auto bailout, ' 47%,''tax cut.'etc', But from the incredible momentum gained by Romney from the first week of October is a clear indication that American people have simply ignored these issues. Americans are concerned about deep recession, massive unemployment, trillion dollars debt and the flawed foreign policy which witnessed the death of ambassador. These are the factors that give a lead to Romney in all states.

But why to people want to go back to the policies that messed up the economy before?
The clear trend is that the economy gets worse under Republicans, and better under Democrats.
