Every day that passes with Barack Obama in office, our nation’s fiscal health gets worse. Every day that passes with Obama in office, the future of our children and grandchildren gets sacrificed as they fall further in debt, in many cases before they are even born! It seems as though both Barack Obama and the Democrats have given up on trying to cut our nation’s debt and get our fiscal house in order.

With our nation’s debt at over $14.4 trillion the solution that the Obama Administration and Democrat leaders in Congress have come up with is to raise our nation’s debt limit without any spending cuts or reforms.

The solution is simple, defeating Barack Obama is the Change we need, a change we must have.
Barack Obama will run the first billion dollar campaign – with special interests again supporting him all the way. He spent his first term providing taxpayer-funded government bailouts to these groups so that they are now financially invested in him.
He will spend as much as $1 billion dollars in messaging to try and mask and undo the fiscal realities of where we are in this country, that’s why the money issue is going to be our biggest challenge.
Straight up on the issues Barack Obama has not been good for this country.
