President Barack Obama and Congress have totally failed the American people. They are destroying America from within, by spending trillions of dollars over budget.

Billions of taxpayer money is being sent to foreign countries and spent fighting other countries' wars. America needs to get out of the United Nations and NATO while we still have a country. What have NATO and U.N. solved in 11 years ?

Let's start protecting our borders and rebuild America to what it was. Presidents and Congress are elected to represent the American people, not the whole world.

Obama has spent $1.4 billion of taxpayers' money on staffing, entertaining, flying, housing and has the biggest White House staff in history, with the highest wages.

Michelle Obama has spent $10 million this year on vacations, while the American people continue to lose jobs and their homes.

The average family will pay more than $4,500 more in taxes this year.
