You share the opinion of the right wing extremists after Obama decided to help american workers, but the real consequences of his actions are right there: GM posting positive balance sheets quarter after quarter, the loans substantialy pain off, up to 4 million american jobs saved, the republicans have shown time after time that they are fiscally irresponsible, while lacking ideas and substance, no matter how big the republican lies might be, Obama will kick butt in 2012.....
Obama didn't help the American worker... the TAXPAYER DID ! THROW ME A BONE WILL YOU I'AM STARVING!
Saving jobs like those auto-workers on their breaks smoking hooters and drinking ?
With $6.00 a gallon gas coming this summer Obama will be unemployed after the 2012 election
He saved the american auto industry and with it millions of jobs, after the republicans have given up with this industry, the economy has recovered significantly, unemployment stabilized and started lowering, the usa is seen with respect all over the world again, Barrack will win in a victory reminiscent of Reagan in 1984, you can bet on that, I would advise any serious candidates to abstain........
"General Motors Co.'s stock hit a new low Monday since it went public in November, closing below $30 a share for the first time. The U.S. government has recovered about $23.1 billion of the $49.5 billion it spent on the GM bailout. The Treasury still holds about 500 million shares of GM stock and can sell all or some of its remaining stake after a six-month period that expires in late May. At recent prices, the government would lose about $11.4 billion on its bailout of the Detroit automaker. " Story dated April 19.

"Investors lifted U.S. home sales last month, plunking down cash to grab cheap homes at risk of foreclosure. But purchases made by first-time homebuyers fell, a troubling sign for the weak housing market. Sales of previously occupied homes rose in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 million, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. That's a 3.7 percent increase from the February pace, but far below the 6 million homes a year that economists say represents a healthy market.
"Courtesy of a website called USDebtClock.org, Americans can do something scary: check out the size of the nation's debt in real time, 24/7. The site should be rated G — for gut-wrenching."
"here's America's foreign policy as articulated by the Commander in Chief: we'll enforce regime change, then again, we won't, but maybe we will, but we probably won't. Gadhafi heard the speech and of course, is emboldened by the President's contradictions and moved forward to attack the rebels even stronger, pushing them into retreat. American foreign policy is a shambles, run by a bunch of keystone cops that don't have a clue what they're doing, or even worse, understand exactly what they're doing and are intentionally sticking a knife in America's respect around the world."

"The IMF lowered its 2011 U.S. outlook to 2.8% from 3%, citing a weak real estate market and a high jobless rate as the biggest factors."
"Gold climbed to a record in London and New York for a fifth day, trading above $1,500 an ounce, as a weaker dollar and debt concerns boosted demand for the metal as an alternative investment. Silver rose to a 31-year high."
The course of the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate and the price of crude oil since January 2011 tells the story:
"Since January, the dollar has lost value against the euro and the price of oil has increased. For each 1 percent decline in the dollar against the euro, there was on average a 0.5 percent increase in the price of oil. The biggest single contributor to oil price increases in recent months is not located in Libya, but at the headquarters of the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C. Thanks to the Fed's weak dollar policy, the U.S. faces an inflation problem and so does the rest of the world."
"Lettuce, laundry detergent, hamburger, and bread have increased in the double digits. Dog food and orange juice cost more as well. What's that mean in dollars and cents? It means that buying the same items that you might buy once a week, is costing you more at every store in our survey.
$4.34 more at Kroger. $2.47 more at HEB. $5.25 more at Wal-Mart. On average, it's an 8.7 percent increase over the past 15 weeks, tacking on $4.02 to the bottom line."

you notice she never seems to come back and answer questions. She just posts about every 5 to 7 days and disapppears. As for food, OMG, our local grocery store would run meat specials on Prime Rib or Rib eye a few times a year for $5.00 a lb, then it went to $6.99 on special and this week it is $7.99. Ham used to go on sale a few times a year (until 6 months ago) for .99 lb to $1.09, now it is on sale for $1.49 or $1.59. This is the first Easter season I can remember where eggs are not on sale even at Wal Mart this week and butter, $279 a lb most places (on sale) I guess we will start eating margarine again, but even it has about doubled. I could go on and on.
