Should Obama be elected to a Second Term?

Let’s examine the State of America and Obama’s Record to answer the question should Obama be elected to a second term?

Indecisiveness in Afghanistan. The Obama Project: "Indecision on Afghanistan surge coupled with announcement of eventual withdrawal." Obama does not listen to any General on what is best for the soldiers safety.

Incoherence in Egypt. The Obama Project: "Incoherence on Egypt, most obviously with the dispatch of Frank Wizner and then rejection of Wizner's advice vis-a-vis Mubarak." Now the Muslim Brotherhood will be ruling in Egypt calling for the rejection of the 30 year Israel Peace Treaty

Filling out college basketball bracket during ME unrest. The Obama Project: "Dabbling in basketball brackets while the Middle East fell into chaos and the gas prices skyrocketed." By the way he did not pick the winner. Obama has a habit of picking Losers.

Unilaterally trying to Disarm America.

The U.S. already is on track to reduce to 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads by 2018, as required by New START. As of last Sept. 1, the United States had 1,790 warheads and Russia had 1,566, according to treaty-mandated reports by each. The treaty does not bar either country from cutting below 1,550 on its own.

A level of 300 deployed strategic nuclear weapons would take the U.S. back to levels not seen since 1950 when the nation was ramping up production in an arms race with the Soviet Union. The U.S. numbers peaked at above 12,000 in the late 1980s and first dropped below 5,000 in 2003.

Nuclear stockpile numbers are closely guarded secrets in most states that possess them, but private nuclear policy experts say no countries other than the U.S. and Russia are thought to have more than 300. The Federation of American Scientists estimates that France has about 300, China about 240, Britain about 225, and Israel, India and Pakistan roughly 100 each.


Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that the cuts to the Pentagon’s budget pose risks to the military’s capability to respond to threats
The Army is planning to cut at least eight brigades and 80,000 troops as it trims its budgets, US officials confirmed Wednesday.

The new brigade cuts, which will happen over several years, will reduce the number of Army troops to 490,000 from a high of 570,000. The cuts, first reported by The Associated Press, could reduce the number of brigades from 45 to as low as 32.

The Army’s force reduction has been expected by analysts, but the cuts are now getting finalized as part of the Pentagon’s 2013 budget, which is the first that will deal with a $487 billion reduction over the next decade.

The overall 2013 Pentagon base budget will be $524 billion, according to congressional officials and analysts, which is a reduction of $7 billion from the 2012 budget Congress approved last month.

The official U.S. unemployment rate has not been beneath 9 percent since April 2009.
First and foremost, the real story of Obama's weak jobs performance is about what the Bureau of Labor Statistics' unemployment number leaves out, or at least plays down.
And that's the 2.8 million discouraged American workers who want employment but can't find it and have given up looking. Under the BLS's perverse mathematics, these people are "not counted as in the labor force, even though they wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job in the prior 12 months," the agency said deep down in its report.
Thus, the government does not count them as among the unemployed, even though they are, well, unemployed.
If you add these 2.8 million discouraged workers, who are victims of Obama's failed economic policies, the real unemployment rate is a whopping 9.9 percent instead of the 8.3 percent the administration announced Friday.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently 6.3 million vacant homes in the United States that are either for sale or for rent.

It is being projected that the U.S. trade deficit with China could hit 270 billion dollars for the entire year of 2010.

The Chinese government has accumulated approximately $2.65 trillion in total foreign exchange reserves. They have drained this wealth from the economies of other nations (such as the United States) and instead of reinvesting all of it they are just sitting on much of it. This is creating tremendous imbalances in the global economy.

Since the year 2000, we have lost 10% of our middle class jobs. In the year 2000 there were approximately 72 million middle class jobs in the United States but today there are only about 65 million middle class jobs.

The United States now employs about the same number of people in manufacturing as it did back in 1940. Considering the fact that we had 132 million people living in this country in 1940 and that we have well over 300 million people living in this country today, that is a very sobering statistic.

The average home in Merced, California has declined in value by 63 percent over the past four years.

In 2010, 55 percent of Americans between the ages of 60 and 64 were in the labor market. Ten years ago, that number was just 47 percent. More older Americans than ever find that they have to keep working just to survive.

The U.S. government is somehow going to have to roll over existing debt and finance new debt that is equivalent to 27.8 percent of GDP in 2011.

Due to Obama Care 40 percent of all U.S. doctors plan to bail out of the profession over the next three years.

Experts say gas prices might hit $4 a gallon as more motorists hit the roads for Memorial Day weekend in May — the “unofficial” start of summer — and drive up demand. It’s a threshold not flirted with since last spring.
