** The stock market had its worst January in 113 years.
** This was followed by the worst February for the stock market since 1933.
** Don't forget the record unemployment rate.
** Obama's budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, and adds more to the debt than all previous presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush -- combined.
And, now this...
The Dow has dropped faster under Obama than any other new president in 90 years.

Michelle Obama is running over to Chicago for luncheons, already. I realize past Presidents and First Ladies have done that but the Obama's again are record breakers.
In hard economic times with american's worried to death about jobs, keeping their homes, retirement funds, food on their tables, kids in school, the Obama's are jetting about in AIR FORCE ONE THAT WE PAY TO KEEP FLYING....-

Obama plans regular happy hours
Who can turn down an invite to the White House?
Illustration by Matt Wuerker
You can stiff the president on a policy issue and defy him on a political one, but who can turn down an invitation to the White House?
Using one of the world’s most famous private residences as bait, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are unleashing a bipartisan charm offensive and exploiting every square inch of their new home to make friends and influence rivals. The social calendar suggests a return to the days of Camelot.
Since moving into their new digs, the first couple has hosted a half-dozen gatherings — from bipartisan cocktail receptions to a public open house to the more intimate Super Bowl party two Sundays ago — ending many of their days past midnight. Most recently, on Wednesday, the Obamas opened the White House doors to House caucus leaders from the moderate Blue Dog Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus. White House aides say the couple hopes to make the Wednesday cocktail parties a tradition.
Friends say the Obamas are looking to maintain the dizzying social calendar they had in their pre-White House days, while using their knack for socializing to find new friends and win hearts on Capitol Hill and in other Washington power centers.
