Everybody likes to use the dining room for family get-togethers. It usually is a "fun room" except when I use it  to figure out our taxes. Every year in February, I pull out the tax folder where I put all our "stuff" we need to keep for tax day. After spending a couple of hours getting the information ready for my accountant, I saw the real impact of Hope & Change or Obabble-nomics.

When Obabble was running for president  he promised Hope & Change. When Obamanable-Care was shoved down our throat the genius Nancy Pandemic Pelosi proclaimed that we'd see what was in the bill after they passed it. 10% to 20% insurance premium cuts were suggested by all the liberals. Hope & Change for everyone.

Then Obabble "doubled down" on his green energy vision. Billions of dollars were wasted on subsidies for boondoggles like Solundra, windmills, electric cars, geo-thermal, bio-diesel etc. Meanwhile, the energy industry moved ahead in spite of all the obstacles the tree hugging adminstration threw in its way. Natural gas is plentiful and oil is being discovered in the U.S. like never before. Yet Obabble has no coherent energy policy except for spending even more on green energy while demonizing the oil and gas companies and killing the XL oil pipeline project.

Hope & Change has hit home in the Dandy household. Gasoline in blue Connecticut is up $2.00 a gallon since Obabble took office. Our health insurance premiums skyrocketed 11.6% and our long term care insurance premiums increased 12% the past year. Yes, Ms. Pelosi, I now now what Obamanable-Care does for us -- it makes us poorer.

Obabble can talk all he wants about Hope & Change, the economy getting better, the problems he inherited from Bush, "fairness", and the evil rich. When November rolls around, the electorate will vote their wallets and pocketbooks and they will be very angry.
 
Obabble's taken us from Hope & Change to Mourning in America.



The Department of Energy is a joke!
