Op-ed:

The economy...Obama's sinking ship

 By: Diane Sori

I’m on the verge of a big time ‘happy dance’ as all the polls now show Mitt Romney pulling ahead of Barack Hussein Obama.  Unless the economy improves, which leading economists do NOT forecast to happen, we are done with the worst president in modern history, maybe the worst president in our nation’s entire history.

As the Democrats start hitting the panic button, Mitt Romney is showing an uncanny ability to stay on message...’it’s all about the economy; it’s all about the economy; it’s all about the economy.’ 

And when it comes to the economy, Barack Hussein Obama’s ship is sinking and sinking fast.

On Obama’s watch, the consumer index is down 30% from pre-2009 levels...that bodes very poorly for Obama.  With 23 million Americans unemployed, underemployed, or simply given up looking for work...that bodes very poorly for Obama.  With a median household income down by $4,300+...that bodes very poorly for Obama.  With most American families losing 40% of their net worth...that bodes very poorly for Obama.  And with the nation’s total debt reaching a record $15.7 trillion...that bodes very poorly for Obama especially since he keeps blaming George W. Bush for running up the deficit tab.  

Hate to tell Obama but under Bush the deficit was $309 billion...under Obama the deficit is $1.31 trillion.

That’s why 54% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Obama’s handling of the economy with only 38% approving.  Personally, I’d like to know just who that 38% is because they need a lesson in economics for sure.

Now add into this gloomy economic mix the fact that the average tuition at a four-year public university increased 15% on Obama’s watch, with increases of 40%+ at universities in Georgia, Arizona and California. And also remember that Congress is up against a July 1^st deadline to avert a doubling of interest rates on new federal student loans encompassing 7.4 million people...and that bodes very poorly for Barack Hussein Obama.

Now top the entire mix on Obama’s failing economic policies with the fact that the annual economic growth rate of 3% has now been revised down to a figure of 1.9% in the first quarter of 2012...and that bodes extremely poorly for Obama and should sink his waterlogged ship.

Thankfully, poorly for Barack Hussein Obama means there is a light at the end of the tunnel for America and for ‘We the People.’

That light is starting to shine more brightly as Mitt Romney leads Obama for the first time in battle ground state Wisconsin where Obama’s support has fallen to its lowest level to date.  Before last week’s Wisconsin recall rout by Governor Scott Walker, Obama had 49% of the vote to Romney’s 45%.  Now Mitt Romney has 48% of the vote, with Obama having 44%. 

Wisconsin...we love you!

Adding to the Democrats woes is the newest poll numbers from two key swing states...Iowa shows Mitt Romney with 47% of the vote to Obama's 46% and Florida shows Mitt Romney with 49% of the vote to Obama’s 45% of the vote.

And all these poll shifts are due to the fact that under Barack Hussein Obama the economy in a word ‘sucks.’

Mitt Romney has said the “Government has to be the partner, the friend, the ally, the supporter of enterprise, not the enemy.”  

Under this current administration’s running of our government free enterprise, capitalism, and economic recovery could not have a more in your face enemy than Barack Hussein Obama.

And the economy will surely be his downfall.  

Hurry up November...our country can’t take much more of this man and his economy destroying policies.
