o   WAY DOWN

·         Middle class paychecks (household income – private sector) under Mr. Obama compared with any previous president
o   WAY DOWN

·         And this one, in case you forget – Mr. Obama was going to double exports (100% increase)  in five years – what did he do?
o   Increased 19% from 2008 - 2012  

·         Manufacturing employment
o   Down

·         Home Ownership
o   18 year low

·         Real GDP growth
o   We frankly do not know – there is so much government propping up now we don’t know what the real GDP growth is but we think it is negative

·         Government employment
o   Way Up

·         Workers exiting the workforce – not working or not looking for work
o   Up 10,000,000 just since Obama took office – highest ever!

·         Government bureaucrat average earnings/benefits/pensions
o   Through the roof

·         Government spending/debt
o   Record levels

·         Government waste/inefficiency
o   Record levels – documented

·         Government bureaucrat exemption from laws/rules applicable to citizens
o   Not even quantifiable it is now so epidemic

·         Business start ups
o   Down

·         Major new, large businesses created/developed
o   Almost Nil

·         Refugee camps on American soil
o   Detroit, Oakland, large portions of Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles (our apologies if we missed your town)

Please feel free to check off the items on this list as Mr. Obama addresses them.

We have left Syria off the list because it is:
1.    A distraction
2.    A deflection
3.    A delusion
4.    Insignificant compared to all of the above

No American president worthy of the office would possibly be distracted, deflected and deluded toward an inconsequential issue in the face of the significant issues listed above.
