It really gets old having you idiots post this nonsense.

>> "10.9 million new jobs.

Made up. Totally made up. Net jobs created since Obama took office total 3.256 million.

data.bls.gov

>> 10 million more Americans with health insurance.

This is totally untrue. In Q3'08, right before Obama took office, the percentage of uinsured in the US was 14.4%. Today, it stands at 13.4%, a 1-percentage point gain, which by my arithmetic comes to (312M * 1% = 3,120,000). What this says is that even when you GIVE IT AWAY at taxpayer expense, people don't want it.

>> Our deficits have shrunk.

You've lost your mind.

The most recent deficit was STILL higher than Bush's WORST. And it gets far worst than that, as after next year deficits will start climbing at an alarming pace with NO END IN SIGHT.

It is comments like this that make it blatantly clear that liberals are fucking idiots.

>> Our dependence on foreign oil is down.

Yes, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Obama and everything to do with the proliferation of fracking.

>> Clean energy is up.

During Obama's terms renewables have increased by around 3 percentage points. During the Bush terms it increased by around 2; but far more money belonging to future generations has been spent and we cannot afford to pay the interest on that debt.

>> More young Americans are graduating from high school and earning college degrees than ever before...

That is true, but if you look at the history, it is evident that growth in the rate of graduation has LEVELED OFF during the Obama years. This, in spite of the continued dumbing down of the education process.
