    3 1/2 Years...

    During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese
    bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of
    Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8
    battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203
    submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft,
    98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft,
    93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine
    guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.

    We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded
    Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned
    and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the
    atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

    It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama
    administration couldn't build a functioning web site.

    The main difference is that Obama's agenda is failure, not success.
