Can't give ONE example on how terrible things are???
1. Median family income is stagnant at best while prices are rising.
2. The lost jobs that were replaced pay 23 percent less.
3. Those unemployed are on it 50 percent longer than the years 2000-2008 before the crash.
4. For the first time ever a majority of school aged children receive government aid.
The saving grace is lower gas prices, course that means we are in tighter with Hillarys buddies who have given her millions of dollars, the women hating Saudis.
The post I was responding to claimed the president's "effeminacy" was "a problem." Even if the president was gay--which he is not (not that there's anything wrong with that )--it certainly hasn't been a "problem" for him. He handily won two elections and has gotten his way in most of what he set out to do. The only "problem" I see is for the GOP.
2. The lost jobs that were replaced pay 23 percent less.
Yet you are against raising the minimum wage, so don't pretend you actually care about that.

Because there are few jobs out there. The GOP has held both houses for four months now, but nary a jobs bill in sight.

Yep, times are tough for many Americans. Meanwhile, the inequality gap gets wider by the year, but the only thing Republicans want to do about it is cut taxes even more for the wealthy while cutting safety net services so they can shovel more money into our already bloated defense budget.

Lol, the usual suspects posting their immature unfounded insults behind the safety of their keyboards. I always say these people are totally insecure in their sexuality. Poor sops.

Reagan supports the mujahideen and bin Laden, leading directly to al Qaeda; Bush's debacle in Iraq leads directly to ISIS, yet the right and their new found heroine O'Dowd get their collective panties in a twist over the way a POTUS throws a ball?
Is there really any doubt these people cannot and should not be trusted with US policy? Hell, they probably think John Wayne's a war hero because he wore uniforms in his movies.
Not really. Median family income was rising before the crash. Compared to the bubble funded Bush years it is worse now. Just like the bubble funded dot com years under Clinton leading into the early Bush years. Plus how are they measuring inflation? Hopefully not using CPI.

I really don't. Minimum wage isn't meant to be something to raise a family on, it's a stepping stone. Why pay higher wages for unskilled workers?
You think minimum wage is the culprit? Again the replaced jobs pay 23 percent less, it has nothing to do with minimum wage.
You do understand when a company increases wages often enough they offset that cost by raising prices? When that is the case why would I want to pay more for an item? I'll have less to spend elsewhere.

The jobs are out there, they are low paying. That's the problem.

Count on the same entity that crushed the economy to fix it? Why? So they can bypass the free market and hand pick which market wins? That's what got us into trouble in the first place.

Who cares about the wealth gap. Quit falling for media driven garbage. What matters is the value of the dollar. Is the Middle class going to be comfortable if income from the top earners drops while their income stays the same? No they won't. Well maybe the jealous ones would.

Hows Obama doing in the way of keeping military costs down? He bring the troops home which would save us a ton of money?
Anyone who wants us to go further into debt while paying to protect other countries borders is the problem. Both parties vote for it. Its just now that a dem is in the White House most of the Ds lack the spine to speak up or lack the knowledge on who the main culprit is. In this case its President Obama. Who btw flip flopped on the presidents powers and committing our military from when he was in the Senate. You can't trust a snake. No better than Bush.

I'm not the one wanting big government with their horrible policies which have cause every boom and bust cycle to fix things. The definition of insanity is to do the same things over again and expect different results.
I have an idea lets appoint someone who never saw the biggest collapse coming since the Great Depression as the Fed Head. Yea lets let big government handle things. What a joke.

Remember, this message strikes a chord with Conservatives because they have a man-crush on shirtless Vladmir Putin (post #27). This is the mentality at work amongst many in the GOP.
The ability to think takes a backseat to masculinity to lower information voters.
What can one do? A fingernail clipping of Putin has 300 times the testosterone as a whole Obama.
Intellect and logic are part and parcel of masculinity incidentally. For the role of emotion in politics see Hillarys little tearfest after getting trounced in the 2008 primaries.

Stupid but entertaining thread, OP.
America is a generally emasculated nation after generations of feminist indoctrination. It is to be expected manliness is a virtue to be rejected by soft fat eunuch voters.
I was wondering how long this thread would go before you cons expose once again your utterly unamerican obsessive admiration for the brutal dictator. If you think he's such a great guy then why don't you do us real Americans a favor and move to Russia and stay there?
