"...have spent over 5 trillion dollars since then" = misinformation
"worse off now than ever before" = lie
"Obama might be hailed as a communist but he is no republican" = ridiculous attempt to weave "communist" into a post about Obama because this really is an incoherent statement that has nothing to do with the original post.
It's worse then when it was spiraling into imminent disaster? The banks are failing? The Auto industry is going under? Sub Prime Mortgages and related derivative trading is forcing middle class people out of their homes? Massive layoffs are taking place? The dollar is falling in value as inflation hits us?
Man, you right wingers have to swallow a lot of lies and self delusion in order to maintain your level of hatred and derangement, don't you?
If anything President Obama did an admirable job with the horrific mess the Bush administration left us in.
OH and watch this. Anyone here who would want government to spend more money if it didn't have to, thumb this comment down.
Seriously, I want you to, just to prove to this FVC|<ing nimrod that for those of us who THINK, it's about solutions, not spending for its own sake.
All other spending is a sin...or something.
I remember seeing a hypnotist tell a person that they "forgot" the number 7. The hypnotist asked the person how many fingers he had ... 10 was the reply. The hypnotist asked him to count his fingers ... 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 ... confusion ...
That reminds me of today's Republicans ... there is no "George W. Bush" ... nobody voted for him, either.
'The economy is worse now than when George Bush left office. Obama has done nothing to improve the economy'
How many real Economists would agree with that statement?Obama continued the auto bailout andTarp prgramsstrted under Bush.Other than that ,the only spending totally of his doing was the $880B Recovery Act which was 1/3 tax cuts.The majority of Gov spending is for a continuation of the wars,defense spending in general,the usual entitlements and the new one (Med D) that Bush started.How does any of that make Obama a communist unless Bush was also? Has Obama created a NEW entitlement program?NO!.So Bush must be a socialist since he did.The Affordable Care Act will be reveue neutral or close to it,but in any event has not caused any deficit spending since it largely is not even implemented.
Do you honestly think the economy would be better if none of the programs started by Bush and extended by Obama plus his Recovery Act were never implemented?? If so you are part of a minority in denial of facts!
You are a LIAR and a moron. What you say is DEMOSTRABLY untrue. Not that you care since you are a LIAR. Obama might be called a communist by LIARS like you too stupid to know what the word means no one in the reality based universe would be stupid enough to say that.
Next time, Dick Morris will explain to us why we actually wear shoes on our heads, and hats on out feet.
My bad.
This one gets tossed around a lot. Expecting a reasonable measure of accountability and patriotism is now "hating". That we desire a marketplace where small business can compete on some level means we hate the "producers" now.
Wow. Just...what? Are you saying we need to be happy not having anything, and that disagreement with the wealthy is stifling (or stiffling?) free speech?
This bit is as confusing as it is ill-conceived.
We have nothing and complain, but we're elitist slobs? What?
But then we have the big reveal...
...and the Obama Derangement syndrome no longer hides in dumbed down talking points! Hurrah! The effect of living in the right wing media hermetically sealed bubble!
You are a LIAR and a punk. You are far too stupid to know what is correct or anything about the left that Rush didnt tell you to think. You are far too stupid to tell us what we want or are for who we love or who we hate. You KNOW you are too stupid to know these things but it doesnt matter to you because you are a LIAR and you love to tell lies.
You are too stupid to know what free speech is I DARE you to put up any example of this stifling of free speech. My GOD but you are stupid. Oh did I mention you are a LIAR.
Also, the DENOMINATOR is not "only the people looking for work." Idiot, the denominator is the total workforce or employable people. The NUMERATOR is only those people unemployed and looking for work. It doesn't count those people, like myself, who have no desire to work. (Comfortably retired here)
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.
If the republicans get out of the way the market may break 15,000 before year end........The republicans ain't seen nothing yet......4 years of pent up demand is the kind of stuff that makes factories run at the 90% plus level for a few years......All of this demand will not wait on a republican POTUS nor a republican congress,and senate..............Each day as it becomes more clear that the republicans are going to lose big in November the recovery's pace will increase............It is simple math---Every time republicans' poll numbers drop the number of people employed goes up.....................................
I'm not saying you need to listen to "liberal media" or turn off the Glenn Beck and Hannity(although that would certainly help), but do yourself a favor and do some basic, non partisan research about politics and economics of the last few decades. Channel some of that anger and outrage into gaining knowledge.
Kidney bean says:
"Proganda is not what is killing the country. Liberal policies are."
The country is not dying, esteemed patriot, and what liberal policies are you speaking of if you know. The EPA? FDA? What?
"Over regulations are strangling business."
Where? Corporations had record profits last year.
"Business has been forced to outsource in order to make that evil profit you dispise so much."
No one forces any business to outsource. No one hates profit, but profiting on misery shouldn't be rewarded.
"Not spin GBU, just facts, that you don't want to own up to."
Tell us when you have a fact to links us to.
"America has never had 30 years of GOP economics."
Thank God.
"Republicans even when we had a Republican president didn't have a republican majority in either house long enough to affect the economic state of the nation."
What a bunch of do-nothings. Especially when you owned the house and senate. But take notice, folks - the GOP has never affected the economy. Ever. Only democrats have any affect on the economy.
"Even when they did they acted like DEMOCRATS which is the reason the country is in the mess it is in."
If they acted like Democrats we'd be short two wars and up 2 NYC buildings.
"Democrats in there zeal to produce "fairness" have ruined prosperity."
Again, record profits = lack of prosperity?
"Capitalism has been turned into a dirty word and class warfare is now the mantra of your party."
Maybe in your Rush Limbaugh fever dream.
"Sad that it has come to this but the sooner you wake up to reality the better."
Ha, reality? Please, the two of you haven't met yet. How would you know one another?

Damn you, President Obama!
You are a LIAR. Only the stupidest people on the Planet are still talking about deregulation as a problem AFTER it caused the S&L meltdown and the recent cratering of the economy but of course you ARE that stupid and you are a LIAR.
Businesses were not forced to outsource just to make a profit that is a LIE they decided to maximize their profits by exploiting poor workers and no environmental protection in other countries. My GOD but you are stupid and brainwashed.
You are a LIAR. The right is the party of class warfare and you are just too stupid, too brainwashed and too simpleminded to recognize simple reality. You are ignorant disgusting trollscum
Like he sees the term "racist" used in a pithy little joke (lols foole!)...and it's like the little talking point machine goes "Beep Bop Boop!" and spits up something along the lines of "You are playing the racism card".
You are a LIAR. You are also so STUPID you wouldnt know the truth if it put a hole in your rubber girlfriend. Every post you have made on this thread is nothing BUT lies and vitriol. Just STFU and stop humiliating yourself
Absolutely. They'd be about 50% right, too, since deregulation and Bush tax rates are still in effect. But then they couldn't say that Obama has been a wildly-swinging wrecking ball who must! must! must! be stopped in november before everybody dies.
I think this way-too-anemic recovery is nothing more than a manifestation of "nothing lasts forever". It's not vindication of anyone.
Please, can I have some more of that failure?
Ok rich folks. I'm looking at the stock market. I am looking at the Bush tax cuts that got extended. I am looking at a still-too-high unemployment rate.
HIRE AMERICANS, YOU UNPATRIOTIC RICH FILTH.
