A Pig is a Pig, Lipstick and ALL!

Tonight the President will speak to the nation.  Contrary to State of the Union addresses of Ronald Reagan, few will watch tonight and most will base their opinions on the news bites posted on Yahoo tomorrow.  For those watching and those not watching, here are a few crib notes to help you translate the lies you will be fed. 

1. The number of U.S. citizens living in poverty, rose to a 50 year high during Obama's reign, according to the Washington Times.  
2. The number of wealthy citizens has also increased, but not by the same jaw-dropping numbers. 
3. Approximately 50 million, or 1 in 6 of our citizens is living in poverty.  More citizens are living on welfare and/or collecting food stamps than at any time in our history, with the numbers nearly doubling since Obama was first sworn in..  
4. According to the bureau of labor statistics, the labor participation rate has fallen to the lowest level since the Carter administration, with approximately 1 in 3 of your fellow citizens or over 96 million of us, no longer in the workforce.  When you hear this clown take credit for an unemployment rate of 5.6%, just remember that the long term unemployed, or anyone no longer receiving unemployment benefits; are no longer counted. Using simple math, 96 million/320 million is about 30%.  If this is not scarey enough, the 96 million represents working aged citizens, while the 320 million represents ALL citizens, including anyone under age16 and the retired.  With this in mind, 30% is a conservative estimate.
5. Adding to our debt with hocus pocus programs, will only be a continuation of the failed strategy that has put us in the mess we are in today.  
6. Speaking of debt, the national debt of the past 43 U.S. Presidents combined, is $9.7 TRILLION.  Yet, from January 2008 through January 2014, the debt has nearly doubled to $18.1 TRILLION!!!  This adds up to about $185,000.00 per U.S. citizen.  Compare this to George W. Bush, who took the White House with a national debt nearing $6 Trillion and left 8 years later with an 50+% increase in the national debt, to about $9.7 Trillion.  Obama called Bush, "unpatriotic" for increasing the debt by this amount.  Democrats called for Bush to be charged with treason over his debt increase.

This is no longer George W. Bush's economy and he can no longer be blamed for the debt or the budget or any of this mess, though Obama will try.  Don't be fooled - he has been a failure for the past 6 years.  We can only expect more of the same or worse, over the next two years.  While most people in business can recognize their weaknesses and take steps to improve their knowledge, Obama has spent his time playing golf.  Unlike golf however, his handicap as President is not just a number on a score sheet - it has destroyed lives!
So whether you watch tonight or read the slanted snippets on the internet tomorrow, just remember the adage, "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig!"
