Granted, the Bush damage was so bad it is hard to see the repairs. What he has done in this first four years will be more evident during his second term.

It is great that he is scaring all those conservative whiteys but that doesn't really count as Presidenting. He could have just walked up to their car windows, tapped on the glass, and asked for spare change and had the same affect.

Your opinion must hold for the opposite of this statement...




That's a problem. I consider myself to be a Conservative. It's not government's place to create a job for ANYONE! That's why I asked for you to point out where in the documents does it say it's government's role to create jobs? A government that gives you a payday is a government that's stealing from somewhere to do it! Yes...STEALING! We're supposed to be operating under a budget...and we're not. There's never been a surplus. Your weakass attempt to show there ever was was blown out of the water as being a projection. It was a vapor on paper that never materialized...ever. Now you're stating that CRA and our own government sat around and were victimized? Nope.

As far as your President statement, I'd buy into that one too but not with the current pRESIDENT. He's a pox. His lobbyists rammed down another round of bailouts, stiffled us with (what should be un-Constitutional!) Obamacare that we cannot even fund, entered us into yet another war and continues to rack the debt with more and more. He does have an effect on the economy. NOBODY is going to invest in America with this guy behind the wheel. They're marking time and will wait this guy out of office. Economists everywhere loathe what he's doing and despite their best efforts to notify the White House that the rocks on the shore are dead up ahead...he's not listening. There are scads of them out there that say he's exactly what I'm saying...he's a pox on America!


Obama is a fine, very impressive person. He really is. Unfortunately, everything that he is doing in economics is exactly wrong. He is a crappy president,” Laffer said.

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=35341

“I think the White House has this completely wrong,” Moore said. “The Republicans are saying we are not going to let you have the increase in the debt until you get this spending under control.”

“If Republicans fold on this one, which I don’t think they are going to do, but if they blink first . . . that’s what put America at risk of a financial crisis and a potential run on the dollar and a run on U.S. bonds.”

Moore said he approves of Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s call to cut spending by every dollar the debt limit is raised. “That’s a good way of framing the issue,” he said, adding, “The real question is, how much is Obama willing to cut the budget?”


http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/obama-debt-ceiling-/2011/06/04/id/398832


However, economists' main criticism of the Obama team centered on delays in enacting key parts of plans to rescue banks. "They overpromised and underdelivered," said Stephen Stanley of RBS Greenwich Capital. "Secretary Geithner scheduled a big speech and came out with just a vague blueprint. The uncertainty is hanging over everyone's head."

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123671107124286261.html

I can keep going with this if you REALLY need more examples. The only economists that do approve of Owebama's Presidency are the ones making his policy and attending the State dinners.

LOL!!!

Pointed out that time and time again...FAILURE from the Economic front that promised they'd be transparent...look at them. Eat the Hannity/Malkin lovefest...POW! Nailed to the floor with their OpEd from FoxNews. You have to hear about weiner first though!

Strawman?

Please...come to the table with something of real tangible fact..not some "If" "And" or "But" defending this stooge. There is no way in Hell you can post the drivel on here defending this guy when you , Rick and any other water carrier railed (and STILL do!!!!) on GW Bush for 8 years. Oh, he was the worst we heard. He's stupid we heard. Now with Hope and Change in front of our steaming eyes we see the sheer failure and incompetence the magnitude that Keystone Cops episodes were written around! There is not one single thing this guy has done that erases 3 I can think of!

Talk about a strawman...Hope and Change.


The opposite does not have to be true, it could be something similar or a little of this and a little of that.

Secondly, it is a straw man because you are attributing positions to me and demanding I defend them even though I have not stated that they are my positions.

And you keep doing it.

STRAWMAN!!!



The Economy Dems Now Own

Posted 06/16/2011 06:22 PM ET


Politics: The head of the Democratic National Committee says the administration has turned the economy around. So let us give discredit where discredit is due.

Joe Biden should sue DNC chief and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for copyright infringement based on her statement at a Politico breakfast. We thought the vice president had a monopoly on statements completely detached from reality.

"We own the economy," Schultz said. "We own the beginning of the turnaround, and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place."

That's right, Debbie, you guys own the economy, though you might explain President Obama's chuckle about those shovel-ready jobs not being as shovel-ready as he thought. Does your "pace of recovery" include an official rate of unemployment of 9.1% after a failed trillion-dollar stimulus was supposed to cap it at 8% and force it downward?

That official rate, based on a monthly survey of sample households, counts only people who reported looking for work in the past four weeks. It doesn't account for part-time workers who want to work more hours but can't, given the tight job market. And it doesn't include those who have given up trying to find work.

When the discouraged and underemployed are added to the mix, that figure is closer to 16.6%.

Our IBD/TIPP Poll consistently shows 20% of households have at least one member looking for full-time employment. This translates into 30 million people.

Actually, Schultz's statement is only slightly more delusional than the one Obama made recently to employees at a North Carolina company that manufactures LED lights, while plants making Thomas Edison's incandescent bulb are outlawed and forced to close to save the planet.

Subscribe to the IBD Editorials Podcast "We stabilized the economy, we prevented a financial meltdown, an economy that was shrinking is now growing," the president said.

He must have been talking about federal jobs, virtually our only growth sector.

A plane that has crashed into the ground cannot be said to have leveled off.

We note that Obama did not speak at the new Boeing plant in South Carolina that his National Labor Relations Board has placed under siege because Boeing wants to create jobs in a state where people aren't forced to join a union as a condition of employment. Jobs are good only if they are union jobs

I know how your life has changed, your hours of listening to Hannity, Limbaugh, Levin et al. have increased as has your hours attempting to get on the air with any of them to say 'amen', 'ditto', 'you're a great american', 'I volunteer to be bukkake'd by all the male house republicans'.

hmmm how has my life changed?

1. due to Obamacare I now bring home less of my paycheck because of massively inflated health insurance rates with less coverage than before
2. My wife and just about everyone where she works has been cut to part-time because people have less disposable income and they can't justify home improvements as much
3. I have seen the price of gas skyrocket , eating up more disposable income
4. I have watched corn prices skyrocket due to the ethanol mandates of the Federal Govt. This in turn has increased all groceries dependent on corn in their cycle (ie feed for animals, etc)
5. I have watched my industry struggle through reduced government budgets because so much is being diverted to obamacare and handouts for the lazy (Gov't assistance to those that actually need it is still a good service)


so really, I have seen the demise of the "Middle Class"

Well, we got a brand new Honda CR-V, thanks to the $4,500 subsidy he gave us for our old POS and nearly broken-down Windstar. If he promises another cash for clunkers dealio, I may have to vote for him. We have another car that's getting ready to fail.

Oh, and I think the globe has warmed 0.00000136 degrees.

I took a 10% pay cut at work.

The value of my house dropped even more.

Co-workers got layoff notices.

That's about it, so far. None of it good.

That's been happening since the hapless Bush junior, whom I initially supported, took over in 2001. Imagine an incompetent failure who was so terrible as Commander-in-Chief that he opened the door to the current cabal of governing fools. Yeah, the problems with illegal immigration & the savages in the middle east exacerbated matters but it's just gotten worse & affecting more screamers, er, folks now.

I've noticed no major discernible difference between the two administrations in how their policies have affected me. Both parties are inept, corrupt, and love Wall Street. They are also more interested in winning elections than in helping the average guy.

I agree wholeheartedly, Fuzz. Also agreed with your incisive assessment of Ayn Rand...but can't find the thread now.

Funny how "opposing" lines of political thought can find common ground. See? Obama AND Bush were uniters!!!w:d/ jester jester
