Photos: Voters' signs do the talking for them Posted: 28 Sep 2012 10:58 AM PDT By Phillip Jackson, Phoenix Every American knows the economy tanked before President Obama took office. When he took office, I had already explored refinancing my home mortgage that was about $60,000 under water, but I could not since no government programs existed.

It's time for a change this November.
