^^^ Tell the auto works that it the stimulus was a big time fail and see what they do to you it will not be pretty just more BS from Faux Szoone & Rush
Republicans jobs bill does not put anybody back to work all it does is cut taxes for the super rich & cut a lot of regulations much need regulations that would not have caused this mess in the first places
Obama's net impact on the actual percentage of people in the USA that have jobs has been lousy!
You keep bringing up what a wonderful job Obama has done on the economy and I'll have to keep bringing up the not-so-rosy bigger picture:
Then how did they get the healthcare bill, the stimulus, the omnibus spending bills, and more?
you know all you do is credit Obama with all of the bills that are passed on 1 posting, thereby saving the economy, and then on the next say there was none passed because of filibusters.. make up your mind
You being childish again. When were those bills passed thru the senate? I know the ACA was thru before Kennedy died, it was only the conference report that squeaked thru after. Seems the stimulus was done long before along with every other law Obama got thru that was part of his agenda. After Kennedy died little got past a GOP filibuster. Seven month is all Obama had.

Um, it wasnt the stimulus which affected the auto workers, it was TARP, passed by BUSH!!!

Um, yes, those bills passed the Senate
If you dont know that, or how bills get passed, you have no credibility on the topic and lose the ability to say anyone is acting childish since you have no facts..

So the auto bailout cost taxpayers an extra $26 billion dollars in payoffs to the UAW, totally above and beyond what was needed. In terms of efficiency in stealing our money to pay off your cronies, it was massively, wonderfully successful.
About those regulations you love so much: ask your local community banker what the regs have done to your community. The Dems were eager to blame the evil bankers for the financial crisis (Fannie and Freddie's not-so-secret lovers Dodd and Frank were especially focused on shifting the blame), and a handful of the largest national mortgage originators behaved poorly. So their solution was to nail all 7,000 banks in the country with regs that will result in driving the smaller banks into the arms of the biggies--a huge loss to communities across the nation, and our economic vitality. You don't have to believe me, just ask your local community banker. Be sure to get the straight story on what it is doing to consumers.
Romney is right, Obama is anti-capital, anti-business, anti-success. His natural constituency are those who aren't worth a darn and have no aspirations to become anything, unless they have one of those union jobs that pay workers more than they are worth. We are at a fork in the road, and will end up with a large permanent underclass of government dependents unless we stop this nonsense at the ballot box in November.

You dont know what the hell you're talking about. Obama signed the healthcare bill into law 15 months after he took office.
Tell me again how he did that if everything was being filibustered.

No, just thinks everyone else is. There a few weeks when there were enough to stop the record breaking number of filibusters. Franken was seated in July and Kennedy died in Aug. But Kennedy was also unable to vote on most bills due to his illness, he missed 95% of the votes the 1st and 2nd qtrs. But the Repub Party Speakers like tell their peons that the Dems had complete control for 2 yrs. True in the House, completely false in the Senate. But the Party bosses know their public followers will believe it if they are told enough times. Seems to have worked and the GOP Congress ppl are still telling their flock that lie. Kind of reminds one of a cult, actually.

Ask yourself why? Ask yourself why a solidly (D) area would vote for an unknown (R) to replace Kennedy? Ask yourself why during the midterms the country sent even less (D)'s to the Senate and took the House from them.
