I saw something yesterday that when President Obama took office the unemployment rate in Indiana was over 10% and now it is under 5%. It really is an alternative universe some people live in. Don't ever forget the 800,000 jobs a month the economy was losing under the stalwart leadership of George W. Bush.

Peace
