I agree, the Republicans know that their attempt to impede the economic recovery with obstructionist tactics has failed. With things improving, they have no choice but to go to their tried and true - GGG with equal parts racism and a reboot of the fear mongering in hopes of starting another useless war in the Middle East.

I know this one! They're lazy bums, drug addicts and welfare queens, sucking off the teat of the federal government, expecting all the hard-working "real" Americans to support them while they lay around all day on their fat asses, smoking pot and and collecting unemployment.

Did I leave anything out?

Well, according to leading Republicans if your daughter isn't rich she only has herself to blame. Equal opportunity not equal outcomes, right?

When the government unemployment claims start adding in the people who have run out of benefits then I'll praise the obama plan. Until then...it's smoke and mirrors designed to hide the TRUTH.

Raised by TRILLIONS?? Get a clue and then come back and we'll chat. 'K?

Incomes have risen slightly, which is another positive sign.

What exactly about those items are artificial recovery? All of this happening while state and local governments continue to cut spending and layoff employees, yet the country is still achieving modest positive growth...no one is saying to be ecstatic about it, but the trend is beginning to reveal itself.
You really are blind aren't you? And that seems to be a TREND with you left wing loons.

If you're talking to me, then I don't know your punchline. I don't bundle people into groups. I treat them as individuals.

In fact, I can careless for party loyalty. What was your assumption anyways? If it was just another opinion stereotype, just spare me.
