And every time the so-called "liberals" have introduced funding to re-train coal workers to work in solar, wind, and geothermal, the Republicans block it. If you want to blame someone for the loss of jobs, blame American business, which abandoned its people and its country--for nothing other than pure greed.
The most cogent post of the year.

Of course "Usama Bin Laden got justice"

There are people who never recovered from factories being closed down - Of course he helped to close down those factories, mines, coal plants, and thousands of small businesses were regulated out of business as well.

Then he claims incomes are rising - except wages have actually gone down for the average family.

...and then he had the nads to say he stopped Iran's nuclear aspirations. He has advanced their nuclear aspirations by financing it!!

He and this crowd are living in an alternate reality




-the timing is suspect considering HRC had to be carried to her car on Sunday

I do not remember Reagan or Bush doing this for the incoming new republican nominee?
Certainly not to the extent of the personal hatred for the person running against his party and their supporters.

He's been the only President in the most recent 7 3/4 years.

Obama's approval rating 58%. In November 1988, Reagan's was 57%

Wonder why the deplorables can only find negative things to hit the President with?





Well, first of all because that's bull ****!


Median household income is up from where it was, but so what?


It's still way down from the Bush years.


American families finally got a big pay raise. Why it might not feel like it.




Not sure where you are getting these approval numbers.


According to Gallup, Obama's current approval rating is 51%.


In September 1988, Reagan's approval number was 54% and it would increase to 63% before he left office.

Of course not, we just need presidents we've had for the past 40 years that ignore the problem of illegal immigration, and congresses that are complicit? Johnson does not advocate illegal entry into the country, he advocates a process of registration so that they become legal tax paying citizens. As with any president, they need the co-operation and approval of congress.

Wonderful


I won't waste my time picking your numbers apart, because every time you think about facts it'll give you an allergy.
Yes don't believe your eyes and ears, it just can't be because you have a better source of indicators. LOL
