George W. Bush: To Barack Obama, I leave…

Remember how some high school yearbooks used to include a section for Seniors to post their “Last Will and Testament?”

Here’s what George W. Bush left for Barack Obama:

– A AAA credit rating

– Gas for $1.61 a gallon

– 5.4% unemployment

– a national debt of $8 trillion, accumulated since 1776, and that was called “devastating”

Two and a half years later, here’s how Barack Obama squandered that inheritance:

– Our credit rating is downgraded to AA

– Gas prices have doubled

– Unemployment is at 9.1%

– And our debt “Ceiling” is now $17 Trillion.

I don’t know about you, but this is far from what I “hoped” for.

George Allen Receives Major Endorsements

George Allen Receives Key Endorsements from Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Congressman Morgan Griffith and Congressman Bob Goodlatte

George Allen Receives Key Endorsements from Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Congressman Morgan Griffith and Congressman Bob Goodlatte

Henrico, VA – George Allen today issued the following statement on receiving the endorsements of Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Congressman Morgan Griffith and Congressman Bob Goodlatte for the U.S. Senate.

“Majority Leader Cantor, Congressman Griffith and Congressman Goodlatte will be strong, positive voices for our campaign. I am proud and grateful to have these exceptional Virginia leaders on our A-Team as we continue to build a strong grassroots team all across the state.

“Throughout this campaign I have listened to the heartfelt concerns of families and businesses who have become pessimistic about our economy and the direction of our country. I believe we can restore the promise of the American Dream by reinvigorating the entrepreneurial spirit with pro-growth policies to unleash our energy resources and help create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

“Majority Leader Cantor and Congressmen Griffith and Goodlatte are fighting hard in Washington to stop the Senate Democrats’ job-crushing, big-spending agenda. By taking control of the U.S. Senate away from Harry Reid, we can finally start acting on the efforts by Leader Cantor and other Republicans in the House of Representatives to help create jobs and restore fiscal responsibility. I am excited that these leaders will be standing alongside us in our mission to bring Virginia voices to the U.S. Senate.”
