When Republicans were in control of the WH, House and Senate....4.7% unemployment and the stock market was 14,500. Since the Democrats took control of the House and Senate in 2007 and now the WH....9.4% unemployment and 8,000 stock market. DOUBLE the unemployment and HALF the stock market!!! HOPE AND CHANGE!!

Now OSOC you know this is all Former President George W. Bush's fault. "the one" and the gang (N. Pelosi, Dirty Harry and the rest) inherited all this. Just because gas prices have increased for 54 continuous days, problems ad nauseum, doesn't have anything to do with the current national or state politicos. Come on they are liberals and they are here to help you! Bev and the boys are going to solve this locally, she just has to make a few more out of country trips. But hey we are going after the former govenor and his wife (those dirty crooks). When are they going to go back and check Jim Hunts stealing days??? Oh wait a minute ...Education Education Education the mantra for NC lets throw some more money at Education! That will stimulate more jobs -Not. But hey at least those rich Republican factory owners can make any more money off the "poor" who use to get a pay check from them, now they can get it from the guberment! Say hello to Maggie for me!!!
