Obama has to go

President Barack Obama has proven to be a superb speaker and campaigner. His presidential record is less impressive. Our true unemployment rate is close to 16 percent when counting those who have simply quit looking. Our fiscal situation is approaching Greece’s.

Food stamp costs have more than doubled since he gained office. It was recently revealed that he has attended less than 44 percent of the presidential daily security briefings that inform the president of potential national security threats. He has insulted our best allies while apologizing to our enemies.

Recently it was reported that he has refused to meet with Israel’s prime minister about the increasingly threatening Iranian nuclear weapons problem due to, of all things, a campaign conflict. The leader of the free world is truly leading from behind … way behind. Let’s can this guy who promised hope and change and instead led us into a Dumpster fire.
