Editor, Coastal Point: For those who support Obama, you may reconsider after reading the following. Mr Hope & Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where, we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspirations and opportunities, and punishes those who stive to be successful. Should you doubt this, read on. A gallon of regular gasoline the day BHO was inaugurated was $1.79 on an average. Today that price has risen to $3.59, a 100.6% increase! The number of food stamps recipients has risen since BHO took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump. Long term unemployment has soared 146.2% during the same 34 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000. This is hope & Change? American citizens living in poverty has risen 9.5% and the number unemployed has risen almost 25%. The number of unemployed blacks has risen from 12.6% at the end of George Bush's terms to 15.8% today. Our national debt has been increased from 10.627 trillion to over 15 trillion under BHO. Remember, these figures can be documented as we recount the number of firsts for this sitting president.

How can we possibly afford another term under BHO? I suspect we have a fraud, a muslim sympathizer, and narcissist in the highest office in our land. We knew little or nothing about this person a few years ago. Today, we still lack knowledge about who BHO actually is. We do know he is a danger to our constitution, freedoms and way of life as our fore fathers intended. Vote him out come November or suffer the consequences.
