Fwd: things to think about

Just in! Hey guys & girls…facts are facts!! This has to make you think a little bit, if not then keep your blinders on!

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago:

  • Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
  • Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
  • The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
  • The DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
  • American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations over seas, living large!…
  • But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep — we got 'CHANGE' all right.

    In the PAST YEAR:

  • Consumer confidence has plummeted;
  • Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
  • Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
  • Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
  • 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
  • As I write, THE DOW is probing another low, $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
  • YEP , IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!…AND WE SURE GOT IT!!!…. NOW OBAMA, the DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT — AND THE POLLS SAY HE'S GONNA BE 'THE MAN' — CLAIMS HE'S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!…. JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND???…..

    We may see. I didn't want change, nor do I want to see any more change like this!
