OBAMA: How he lost this vote

My family, friends and I are not voting for President Obama for the following reasons:

He gave us hope and change and made a lot of promises. Now we have more unemployed citizens than when he took office. Gas prices have doubled from $1.80 to almost $4 now. Obama bragged about having Bin Laden killed and tried to assured us that al-Qaida is on a path to defeat, yet they are very alive and hate us more than ever before, burning our flags in more than 20 countries and stomped on Obama’s pictures.

On Sept. 11, when our intelligence officials had plenty of warnings, our embassies were not adequately protected. Our Ambassador in Libya, two Seals and another Diplomat were brutally murdered by an organized al-Qaida group of 100 men in Benghazy, Libya. Yet, the Obama administration had Hillary Clinton and their U.N. Ambassador, Susan Rice, appear on several TV stations that everything going on was the reason for a 15-minute movie against Islam, which most people in the world didn’t know about or had seen. Even during his speech at the U.N., a couple of days ago, Obama blamed this movie for the reason of the unrest in Muslim countries, yet several of his officials admitted it was terrorism and well organized. Why are we being lied to?

There is no rationality on the president’s part. He has a disdain for Israel and didn’t even meet with their Prime Minister Netanyahu, or any other heads of state while they were in New York, but he shows up with his wife at the View Show exchanging pleasantries. Obama hardly ever attends security meetings in the mornings, finding out what is going on in the world. What kind of lazy leader is he?

He gives Brazil $1 billion of our money to drill oil and stated, “hopefully, we become your best customers.” How insane is that, while we have more than enough oil in the ground here? Just recently I heard Obama gave another company in Portland, Ore., $200,000 to build solar panels. Probably like Solyndra, who received $500 million and went belly-up.

The list goes on and on, how Obama throws around money we really don’t have and are $16 trillion in debt. Worst yet, he and his democratic-controlled Senate have not passed a balanced budget in almost four years. Four more years of Obama and America becomes a third-world country.
