Obama has failed the United States. He has hurt the middle class. Melissa - your president is not interested in prosparity but equality. He has made us all equally poor. Many of us are out of work, and have been out of work for years. The unemployment is at 9.1% and they no longer count those who have given up looking or working 2 or 3 minimum wage jobs. His stimulous money went to democrat districs and he ignored everyone else. Now we see Solyndra scandal unfolding - Do your decission?

Under President Obama, daily crude oil prices have been 41% higher on average and the average weekly retail gasoline price has been 25% higher than prices during the Bush administration..

In January 2001, when President Bush took office, the monthly participation rate was 17.2 million. By January 2011, food stamp particpation reached a high of 44.2 million under President Obama.

President Obama, the first American President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for “hope” rather than any substantive accomplishments, also added another conflict to the two he inherited from his predecessor.

Under Obama, average monthly unemployment is 4.1 percentage points higher than unemployment under President Bush. Average monthly housing starts are 66% lower under Obama. Average annual food stamp participation has increased 63% from 22.7 million to 37.0 million.

IF YOU WERE HALF AS CUTE ASU THOUGHT YOU WERE YOU BUMB BITCH

[mdstalla]

You are a white, inteligent, streight, working Christain girl who looks like she's interested in having a career someday and advancing that career. What is it that these Democrats have to offer you? I mean, no offese; but in their eyes; you are the enemy; you are the problem with this country and you must be stopped. Listening to you is like listening to one of those Jewish Police Officers in Nazi Germany who praised Hitler only to save themselves for a few more months of the inevitable.

Some rescue plan....does anyone have buyer remorse for electing this moron called Barrack Hussein Obama? Was promised transparency and we got none, was promised unemployment would not go over 8% if we let him spend all that stimulus money and now we have over 10% unemployment and growing. I am glad I did not vote for this moron, and can't wait to see him voted out office soon.

i'll say one thing. This young lady apears to be more mature and intelligent than most commentator on this video. She's done the leg work in reading and then analyzing the issues and details before expressing her opinions. Unlike most on here who apear to be forming their opinions based on talking points, soundbites from the media and at times pure speculation that they pull right out of their backside!

You go Melissa!
