Like the complacent, private jet owning multimillion$$$ CEOs that ran multibillion "too big to fail" corporations into the ground with their capitilist Ponzi schemes?

Here's a news flash for you buddy: It's been a socialism for the rich robber barrons (can't let them fail) and tough luck capitalism for the poor for quite a while now. Now that the cracks are starting to show the corporate sycophants at F#X and CNBC are cranking up the propaganda machine because god knows certainly accepting responsibility is no option so of course they resort to their time honored technique of smokescreens and scapegoats. Socialists are the new communists!

Geos, if you have time, I would love to hear your thesis on the subject. I did not know that capitalism was so bad.

My god. Give the man a chance will you? He's not a miracle worker. Plus he just got into office six weeks ago. How much impact have you had at your job in the first six weeks? You sound like that imbecile Rush Limbaugh.

And don't even get me started on the massive spending that the Republicans undertook from Jan 2001 - Jan 2009. George W Bush outspent his predecessors by an extreme margin - and that does not even include the billions spent on the Iraq War AKA The Bush Personal Family Vendetta.

Obama inherited a massive mess and he is doing what he can to get us out of this mess. That's a lot more than I can say about his predecessor and the Republicans.

The Republicans answer is what - corporate tax cuts? Guess what? That has been happening for the past eight years and it's one of the reasons we're in this mess. It all boils down to greed. The Republicans say that if corporations are given tax cuts, they will use that money to hire employees.

WRONG!!!

That has not happened. Do you know what these CEO's do with those tax cuts? They report it as PROFIT which in turn gives them a massive bonus. They then fund the Republicans campaigns so that they can continue to keep those bonuses for teh CEO's coming. It's a vicious and corrupt cycle.

Obama is not playing games like his Republican counterparts. He's doing what he can to make sure that people like myself can get back to work.

Las Vegas 4.0 will be stronger and better because of President Obama.

The last few posts seem to have veered into ideological grounds. The most interesting evolution in the string is the tone of the posts in #1 (around July 2008) and the last few pages. Most of the predictions regarding any type of growth have foundered badly; the latest economic projections are that car dealers report sales down 40% in just one month, 2 million jobs lost in the last 3 months (accelerating ominously) and as much bad news as you care to find. And with all this, my family and I will be moving to Vegas in June. It's been too easy threading camels through the eye of a needle...

We have gone from a Bush recession to an Obama depression. Everyone pull in their horns and prepare for the worst.

I agree Vote them all out! obama past voting history before he was president pretty much proves the man is not for the average middle class. When is this huge middle class tax cut coming that obama promised? Where are those large stimulus checks that obama promised? Are we going to get 5 grand each? I doubt it. Obama said no gun bans, now a gun ban is in the works for late this year. obama will bailout everyone but the middle class! What is obama going to do for the housing situation? Nothing at all! Just words!! Vote that piece of trash out ASAP!

You are misunderstanding the way government works...you don't vote Obama out, when election year comes vote for a different representative or senator, they are really the only ones that can affect the way we live, the President just signs their bills, if he disagrees, he can veto it...
