here is #1:

1. OBAMA’S ECONOMIC POLICIES HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE A RECOVERY
Obama In 2009: “If I Don’t Have This Done In Three Years, Then There’s Going To Be A One-Term Proposition.” OBAMA: “That’s exactly right. And – and, you know, a year from now I think people – are going to see that – we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” (NBC’s ” The Today Show,” 2/2/09)

Since President Obama Took Office, The Nation Has Lost 261,000 Jobs And The Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 7.8 Percent To 8.1 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 9/17/12)
â– 23.1 Million Americans Are Either Unemployed, Underemployed Or Have Given Up Looking For Work. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 9/17/12)

Obama Said That The Economy Was His “Overriding Focus.” OBAMA: “This is my administration’s overriding focus. Having brought the economy back from the brink, the question is how are we going to make sure that people are getting back to work and able to support their families. It’s not going to happen overnight, but we will not rest until we are succeeding in generating the jobs that this economy needs.” (President Barack Obama, “Remarks By The President During The Meeting Of The President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board,” The White House, 11/2/09)

■Obama: Jobs Are “The First Thing I Think About When I Wake Up The Morning” And “The Last Thing I Think About When I Go To Bed Each Night.” OBAMA: “And I’m focused on those issues, but you should know that keeping the economy going and making sure jobs are available is the first thing I think about when I wake up the morning; it’s the last thing I think about when I go to bed each night. And I will not be satisfied until every American who wants a good job can find one and every American gets a shot at the American Dream. That’s what we’re focused on. That’s what we’re fighting for.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks On The Clean Fleet Partnership , Landover, MD, 4/1/11)

By The End Of 2009, The White House “Assumed A Recovery Was Under Way” And So Fixing The Economy Was “No Longer Their Top Priority.” “Today, that brief period of optimism looks like one of the worst things that could have happened to the White House, other Democrats and, above all, the economy. The nascent recovery removed the urgency that the Obama administration and Democratic senators felt in early 2009. They still favored more action, like aid to states and tax cuts, but it was no longer their top priority. They assumed a recovery was under way. We now know, of course, that the recovery has stalled.” (David Leonhardt, “Job Losses Outweigh Administration’s Successes,”The New York Times, 10/26/10)
