It seems silly now that Bar- ry Soetoro could campaign about a three trillion $ federal debt and six years later brush off his defi cit of more than $18,349,557,501,600, (is that what 18 trillion looks like?)

to it’s senses and elect a busi- nessman as our next president. Our experiment with a com- munity organizer has failed miserably.
