Let us review some facts on spending, debt and the root cause of our economic downturn.
Jan. 3, 2007 110th Congress takes their sworn Oath of Office. The Democrats hold a Majority in both the House & Senate. The TOTAL Debt BEFORE they took over ~ $8.5 Trillion. (see Chart below)
2008 Debt = ~ $10 Trillion— 1 Trillion INCREASE (1st year EVER for that much DEBT INCREASE in HISTORY) Note: Barack Hussein Obama Wins the White House via massive Voter Fraud and Full support by a Main Stream Media that refuses to do THEIR J-O-B!
2009 Debt = Over $12 Trillion (Dems control House, Senate & the White House) and an over $2 Trillion INCREASE. Congratulations—-A NEW WORLD RECORD!
Note: During 2009, while all of this SPENDING was going on, a RAG TAG group of people, just a handful of people too if you believe the Liberal MSM, started to meet with each other. Say “HELLO” to a JUST A FEW of my BUDDIES!!
The TEA Party.
The 9-12 March on DC.
8-28-10 Restoring Honor Rally in DC. Click for a larger image.
2010 Debt = Just UNDER $2 Trillion INCREASE to ~ $14 Trillion (AND they spent roughly 3 months campaigning and LOST control of the HOUSE to the Republicans)
2011 Debt = Republicans slowed the $2 TRILLION INCREASES to almost HALF and total Debt is a little over $15 Trillion
And ANOTHER RECORD set by the Dems, it’s been over 1200 DAYS since the Senate has passed a budget.
Summary: The 4 BIGGEST DEBT DRIVERS are Pelosi, Reid, BHO and democRATS! $5.5 TRILLION INCREASE (14Tril – 8.5 Tril = 5.5) in ONLY 4 years from 2007 through 2011!
Stimulus = Fail; Clash for Clunkers = Fail; Auto Bailout = FAIL; Solyndra/Green Initiative = FAIL; Root Cause of the poor economy NOW was the Frank/Dodd financial policy w/ Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac…. and I could go on & on, but it’ll just make the Liberals mad.

Fox News Video Report on “Obama’s Lies,” Sends Left Into Frenzy. Watch it Here…Awesome !!!
Ya know when you’ve hit em where it hurts, by their reaction. Enjoy, Please Share; Well Done Fox !!!
All images are from the Fox News video and/or copied from the Barracuda Brigades Blogspot. Thanks again Barracuda!
Here’s the Youtube video.
Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday aired a scathing review of the first three years of President Barack Obama’s term in office, countering his “hope” and “change” motto with a series of “then and now” facts about the national debt, jobless rate, gas prices and more.

“What sort of change have we really seen over the past four years from the Obama administration?” co-host Steve Doocy asked by way of introduction.
The four-minute clip is a mash-up of the president’s speeches over the last three-and-a-half years, matching his promises and statements with the reality of rising costs. Starting with the frenzied “O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!” crowd chants of four years ago, it’s quickly replaced by ominous tones.
Gas Prices.
“I pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office…All of us need to act more responsibly on behalf of a better economic future…Hope is the guiding force behind the most improbable changes this country has ever made,” Obama says, before his statements are countered with the national debt: “$10 trillion then“ and ”$15 trillion now.”

Bacon prices up 23.3%. Click for larger image.
“We cannot wait for good jobs and living wages and pensions…Jobs must be our number one focus…We know it’s time to create the good-paying jobs, jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced,” he says, before the “then and now” jobless rate is highlighted: 7.8 percent then, 8.3 percent now.
And if you look at the REAL Unemployment numbers, the U-6….. well, I’ll let the chart speak for itself.

Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, rights and obligations upon the death of an individual.
This tells the story of why Bush was so ‘BAD’ at the end of his term.
Don’t just skim over this, it’s not very long, read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!!! From REAL sources, not the Daily KOS / Huffington Post / Obama’s websites or other liberal sources.
The day the democrats took over was NOT January 22nd 2009, it was ACTUALLY January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At that time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day… January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Unemployment — to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
U6 Unemployment Chart. Click for larger image.
Roughly 30% unemployment for the 1st quarter of 2012!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? That would be Barack Hussein Obama!
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush..
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Hussein Obama during this time?
He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
Note the 2007 deficit on the chart. Then note the DRASTIC INCREASES starting in 2008. This belongs solely to the Democrats. Again, click for a larger image.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is—
I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th 2009 when I took the office of the President of the United States.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it onward.

This Patriot is not positive about this one, however, I DO feel that I need to provide my readers w/ possible threats ALERTS. You can each make up your own minds after you review the info provided.
In a nut shell, Florida would be history. NOTHING left! Louisana, Texas gulf coast & Mississippi would take the biggest blunt of the force along with ALL vessels & oil rigs that are in the gulf at the time this happens….Vessels & Oil rigs will be gone instantly & those on board these will perish.
Most of this info was broadcast on the “Coast to Coast” radio program in the last few days.
The following text is a copy & paste. That way, if the site gets censored, we’ll still have the info.

How the ultimate BP Gulf disaster could kill millions
by Terrence Aym
Disturbing evidence is mounting that something frightening is happening deep under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico—something far worse than the BP oil gusher.
Warnings were raised as long as a year before the Deepwater Horizon disaster that the area of seabed chosen by the BP geologists might be unstable, or worse, inherently dangerous.
What makes the location that Transocean chose potentially far riskier than other potential oil deposits located at other regions of the Gulf? It can be summed up with two words: methane gas.
The same methane that makes coal mining operations hazardous and leads to horrendous mining accidents deep under the earth also can present a high level of danger to certain oil exploration ventures.
Location of Deepwater Horizon oil rig was criticized
More than 12 months ago some geologists rang the warning bell that the Deepwater Horizon exploratory rig might have been erected directly over a huge underground reservoir of methane.
Documents from several years ago indicate that the subterranean geologic formation may contain the presence of a huge methane deposit.
None other than the engineer who helped lead the team to snuff the Gulf oil fires set by Saddam Hussein to slow the advance of American troops has stated that a huge underground lake of methane gas—compressed by a pressure of 100,000 pounds per square inch (psi)—could be released by BP’s drilling effort to obtain the oil deposit.
Current engineering technology cannot contain gas that is pressurized to 100,000 psi.
By some geologists’ estimates the methane could be a massive 15 to 20 mile toxic and explosive bubble trapped for eons under the Gulf sea floor. In their opinion, the explosive destruction of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead was an accident just waiting to happen.
Yet the disaster that followed the loss of the rig pales by comparison to the apocalyptic disaster that may come.
A cascading catastrophe
According to worried geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the damaged well head.
Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic submersibles working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole itself.
According to some geological experts, BP’s operations set into motion a series of events that may be irreversible. Step-by-step the drilling team committed one error after another.
Congressmen Henry Waxman, D-CA, and Bart Stupak, D-MI, in a letter sent to BP CEO Tony Hayward, identified 5 missteps made by BP during the period culminating with the explosion.
Waxman, chair of the Congressional energy panel and Stupak, the head of the subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said, “The common feature of these five decisions is that they posed a trade-off between cost and well safety.”
The two Representatives also stated in the 14-page letter to Hayward that “Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense.”
Called by some insiders investigating the ongoing disaster a “perfect storm of catastrophe,” the wellhead blew on the sea floor catapulting a stream of mud, oil and gas upwards at the speed of sound.
In describing the events—that transpired in a matter of seconds—they note that immediately following the rupture the borehole pipe’s casing blew away exposing a straight line 8 miles deep for the pressurized gas to escape. The result was cavitation, an irregular pressure variance sometimes experience by deep diving vessels such as nuclear submarines. This cavitation created a supersonic bubble of explosive methane gas that resulted in a supersonic explosion killing 11 men and completely annihilating the drilling platform.
Death from the depths
With the emerging evidence of fissures, the quiet fear now is the methane bubble rupturing the seabed and exploding into the Gulf waters. If the bubble escapes, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will instantaneously sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists measuring the oil plumes’ advance will instantly perish.
As horrible as that is, what would follow is an event so potentially horrific that it equals in its fury the Indonesian tsunami that killed more than 600,000, or the destruction of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius.
The ultimate Gulf disaster, however, would make even those historical horrors pale by comparison. If the huge methane bubble breaches the seabed, it will erupt with an explosive fury similar to that experienced during the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in the Pacific Northwest. A gas gusher will surge upwards through miles of ancient sedimentary rock—layer after layer—past the oil reservoir. It will explode upwards propelled by 50 tons psi, burst through the cracks and fissures of the compromised sea floor, and rupture miles of ocean bottom with one titanic explosion.
The burgeoning methane gas cloud will surface, killing everything it touches, and set off a supersonic tsunami with the wave traveling somewhere between 400 to 600 miles per hour.
While the entire Gulf coastline is vulnerable, the state most exposed to the fury of a supersonic wave towering 150 to 200 feet or more is Florida. The Sunshine State only averages about 100 feet above sea level with much of the coastline and lowlands and swamps near zero elevation. [Elevation map] A supersonic tsunami would literally sweep away everything from Miami to the panhandle in a matter of minutes. Loss of human life would be virtually instantaneous and measured in the millions. Of course the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and southern region of Georgia—a state with no Gulf coastline—would also experience tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Loss of property is virtually incalculable and the days of the US position as the world’s superpower would be literally gone in a flash…of detonating methane.
