Plus the voting public is too stupid to understand con politics. Plus they're all living on welfare handouts.

There's something comforting about their consistent stupidity, you know?

3. lower labor force participation


4. 39% more on foodstamps

5. Oil production has fallen on federal lands. Oil production has INCREASED on private land, INSPITE of Obama.

6. EPA regulations have markedly increased under Obama

7. No war on coal? Really?

Obama's war on coal will cost us jobs
1. Does not refute anything I said(nor does it even try to), it does not name a single policy that it claims caused this. Try again

2.Your number 2 doesnt make your point either, at best, it is saying family wealth is tied to the Housing market and unless that was your point in the first place only shows you are still wrong.


3.Your chart shows that Labor force participation was dropping even before the recession, you are continuing to prove yourself wrong.

The Oldest Baby Boomers Launch Their Retirement - Planning to Retire (usnews.com)

Baby Boomers Retire | Pew Research Center

Baby boomers are the reason for the the large dip you see in your chart.


4. Food stamps always go up because population goes up, this is the same failed argument you were making with number of people on unemployment. It doesnt work with anyone who can think.

5. In not even sure why you posted this. Your original comment claimed Oil production had ceased completely on Federal lands, you were wrong. I Responded as such and continued on to say the exact same thing you just typed(besides the in spite part) . This bullet point was unneeded.

6. What is your point that it has increased? I never argued that it didnt. I think you are trying to make a bigger argument of whether it is good or not because just saying that it increased isnt controversial in and of itself.

7. The article you posted here does not even address your "war on coal" argument. It makes a claim that he is removing coal as an energy producing option all together. it isnt true, it does not even name a specific regulation that hurts coal. It is doing the same thing you do all the time, which is talk in generalities rather than specifics.

None of this explains your inconsistent claims. I'm Canadian, and by your reaction to my pretty simple observation that the effects of policies don't disappear when the policy maker leaves office, my opinion is something you cared about very much. Yet today you say you don't care about the opinions of Canadians.

And what you do here is generally whine and cry about Obama because losing makes Republicans whine and cry.

When that happen or is that another fantasy of yours? Should Obama start going around to other countries and take a dump on their sacred places? Would that make you feel better?

So you think the next President is going to be just like Obama?

You can laugh all you want. You can chortle and guffaw, chuckle and giggle. Knock yourself out. The really funny thing is that if I agreed with you, you'd welcome my foreign opinion wholeheartedly.
As far as French Canadians having a high opinion of themselves....."We're Number One!!"
Oh wait....that's you.

Feel free to elaborate on your position regarding Bush and back it up with facts. Until you can do that you're simply spewing hogwash. I don't care about Canada, Canadians, or your opinions. Canada is and always will be an insignificant bump on the map. I do object about Obama routinely because I hate having an incompetent disaster in office.

Liberals are simply precious. Yep. It never happened.

2016- How are the libs going to promote four more years of liberal "rule" after this debacle? Will Americans be dumb enough to vote for another liberal and doom the nation to four more years of economic misery? Has the electorate become conditioned, via government treats for votes programs, to simply vote democrat, regardless of performance and personal voter economic misery?

Libs- If liberal policy is so great, why do we have greater numbers of unemployed (or underemployed), lower incomes, lower savings, and more people on food stamps? The only people that appear to have prospered under Obama is the "1%ers"- oddly the people that Obama purports to hate.
The lemmings love Obama. If he could run again in '16 he'd win.

You're correct for once. We are number one. We are the preeminent world super power. One person I met who is from Toronto told me all about the jealousy Canadians have of Americans.
