Obama Economy Quotes

• In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class.

Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.

• We hear the stories every day now: the father who puts on a suit every morning and leaves the house so his daughter doesn't know he lost his job, the recent college grad facing up to the painful reality that the only door that's open to her after four years of study and a pile of debt is her parents'. These are the faces of the Obama economy.
