Dismal Obama Economic Record: Figures Tell All

When it comes to President Obama's economic record, the figures tell a dismal story. The President promised to "help the middle class retain a sense of economic security that will benefit the entire economy." He did just the opposite.
Here are the details of Obamanomic's abject failure:

• Unemployment: The number of people unemployed has grown by over one million. 
• Long-term Unemployment: The average duration of unemployment has more than doubled, to an astonishing 40.8 weeks.
• Jobs: Nearly 1.7 million jobs have been lost.
• Income: Median household income has declined by nearly $1,000.
• Poverty: The number of people in poverty has grown by over six million.
• Hunger: Food stamp participation has increased by more than 14 million people, to a devastating 46.2 million.
• Health Care: Average family health insurance premiums have increased by more than $1,500.
• Energy: Gas prices have nearly doubled, to $3.38 per gallon.
• Housing: Foreclosures have spiked to a record one-million-plus annually.
• Debt: Each family’s share of the publicly-held national debt has skyrocketed by more than $35,000, to nearly $90,000.

By any viable measure, this record demands rejection.
