Americans have given a president whose first term has been a dismal failure another four years in office. Why?

His economic policies have failed to resolve the jobs situation, cut the deficit, shore up Social Security and Medicare or rein in uncontrolled government spending. The Senate has not even passed a budget in nearly five years!

His "signature" legislative "achievement," Obamacare, has done nothing to control the cost of medical insurance. In fact, insurance costs have increased, waivers must be granted because unions and businesses cannot comply with the law's requirements.

His environmental policies have lead to record-high gasoline prices, increased the costs of using coal and squandered taxpayer dollars on so-called "green" companies that were not competitive and subsequently went bankrupt.

We need to keep an eagle's eye on this administration!
