    Seven years of change under President Obama:

    - Dow Jones average when he took office: 6626. Dow Jones average now: 18000+
    - S&P 500 average when Obama took office: 683. S&P now: 2100+
    - Unemployment rate when Obama took office: 10.0%. Unemployment rate now: 4.9%
    - Uninsured Americans when Obama took office: 18%. Uninsured Americans now: 11%
    - Net private sector jobs created under Bush Sr. (Republican): 1 million. Under Bill Clinton (Democrat): 20 million. Under Bush Jr. (Republican): zero. Under Obama (Democrat): 12 million.
    - Americans killed by foreign wars under Bush Jr.: 5000+. Under Obama: <500
    - Americans killed by terrorists under Bush Jr.: 4000+. Under Obama < 200

    And on Tuesday you're going to find out that most Americans who are NOT historians will look kindly, too, upon Obama's presidency.

    Don't forget thousands dead in Afghanistan, $9 trillion to the debt, a smaller workforce, aging infrastructure, black community is making less, stagnet wages, health care costs doubling, unstable Middle East, aging military, and rapers being invited to the White House who sing about sexual assault.

    Oh and Russia is aparently rigging the election. Why would Obama allow that?

    Rapers or rappers? Never mind. They are probably the same.

    But did you listen to what you heard.
    This is true. Saying things you don't mean or have no intention on following through with is just talk. The measure of a great speech is not how it made your followers feel emotionally, its did it make others want to follow your ideas. A good speech changes the status quo with either new action or new thoughts. I haven't seen that from Obama to the extent that we should from a president.

    Obama's legacy will be:
    Obamacare - Fail
    Debt - Fail
    Syria - Fail

    He gives a great speech and is likable, voted for him twice, but he has been a severe disappointment.
