Why would a liberal post such negative indexes when he has clearly defended nobama on some of these elements?   Remember posting something like: "How is obama responsible for that"?  This is all on his watch and on the Lib Congress that is in their fourth full year of doing nothing for us.

I'm surprised you even posted this negative info.

Or maybe even a disaster.
