In past editions of this website, I have put up the familiar "Where's the Birth Certificate?" logo. The issue was fun while it lasted, and never really got resolved (both camps ended up accusing the other of forgery). It's time to move on to other issues, affecting everyday Americans, such as:

1. Why did President Obama support the bailout of the rich, international bankers who control the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury, after they had driven those institutions into ruin?

2. Why did President Obama keep and reconfirm the very people who destroyed our economy, namely, Henry Paulson, Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke?

3. Why did President Obama allow giving billions of dollars earmarked for the relief of failing banks, to keep failed automakers from going bankrupt?

4. Why is President Obama, who portrays himself as a populist and talks about "spreading the wealth around", so cozy with the big international bankers and industrialists? (Chrysler Corp., by the way, which was nationalized with American tax dollars, was later sold by Obama to an OVERSEAS automaker).

5. Why has President Obama, who ran as an "antiwar" candidate and promised to close the prison camp at Guantanamo, done the following: continued our military involvement in Iraq, greatly expanded our involvement in a hopeless, Vietnam-style quagmire in Afghanistan, and gotten us involved in yet another military adventure in Libya? Meanwhile, the Guantanamo prison continues...

6. Twenty-three years after the fall of the Soviet Union, with our greatest enemy being Jihadists whose most effective weapons are boxcutters, why is the Obama Administration spending record amounts on exotic defense systems such as stealth bombers? --and all this, during the middle of the greatest Depression in 80 years?

7. Why does unemployment in this country continue at record high levels under Obama, who promised to make job creation a priority? And why are most of the jobs created hamburger-flipper jobs at McDonalds?

By the way, the current National Debt can be found HERE, and its comparison with the Gross Domestic Product can be found HERE.

The last I checked, they were about equal; but the debt was skyrocketing past the GDP, and was higher under Obama than at any time since the peak of World War II. The bottom line is that under Barack Obama, our country has gotten so deeply into hock that we can NEVER pay our bills. We are headed for certain bancruptcy and probably hyperinflation. Meanwhile, our country has few real jobs, producing more lawsuits and bureaucratic paperwork than manufactures.

Let's vote for CHANGE in 2012.
