An unemployment rate of 9.1 percent;
28 straight months of unemployment being above 8 percent, a post-World War II record;

A housing crisis that has recently entered a double dip and is now worse than the Great Depression;
A record $1.65 trillion deficit this year;

Gas prices roughly doubled what they were when Obama took office.
