Unsafe At Any Speed

Ralph Nader, a progressive political activist and four-time candidate for President of the United States, became famous after publishing Unsafe At Any Speed, a book about the poor design and safety record of the Chevrolet Corvair.  A friend of mine just shared an email with me regarding the fiscal record of the Obama administration.  Seems that under President Obama's watch, over the last two years, our national debt has increased by more than $4 trillion dollars!  This rate of indebtedness is 27 times faster than in anytime in our nation's history.  By comparison, if you were happening to drive a car (hopefully not a Corvair) in the right lane going 65 mph, and a car rockets past you on the left 27 times faster, it would be traveling at 7,555 mph.  Just as the Chevy Corvair was determined to be unsafe for any American to drive, and subsequently taken off the market, so too should Barack Obama be deemed "unsafe at any speed" and subsequently removed from office.
