Running on His Record
Essentially, gold and gasoline have doubled because the dollar has halved. Inflation under Obama is presently at 50% and few Americans recognize it. Even Congress shies away from use of the word. But, this is classic inflation due to “quantitative easing” – the fed pumping fiat currency into the economy by way of “buying” U.S. Treasury Bonds, a practice, if you or I do it, called “check kiting”.
What ever name you assign, Obama and the Democrats have placed us into an inflation spiral that affects not only our people, but every other nation on the face of the earth.
European Debt Crisis
Rumors of its demise are premature. The Greek crisis isn’t over. Greeks are rioting in the streets, intensely worried about how to pay bills and feed their families. Now, Spain is following suit.

Democrats under leadership of three guests to the Mad Hatter’s tea party (Obama, Reid and Pelosi) have led America to the edge of the abyss. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned we face going over a “massive fiscal cliff” of tax increases and spending cuts due to kick in early 2013.
Let’s not forget the failure of the Democrat Senate Majority and the President to pass a balanced budget throughout Barack Obama’s three years in office. Our Republican House has provided numerous budgets over his three years, but none get through the Senate. Why? A budget would LIMIT Obama’s spending and he can’t have any of that.
Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) lays out two visions on a recent interview on Face The Nation. Which do you want, an engorged federal bureaucracy or a decent future for your children?
