Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?

The answer for the majority of people is "No."
I also don't like what's going on - so I know.

I also know that the fenceposts (Jackson, Sharpton, Joyner, NAACP) are still in place keeping the minds of black people from escaping to freedom of thought.

Do you consider what we happened in 2008 a "crash" ?

A "manufactured" crash. There was NO crisis. Most of the TARP money went to FOREIGN banks.

Obama Approval Continues to Show Party, Age, Race Gaps

a 1-year old gallup poll shows that Obama has a 43% approval with whites and an 89% approval with blacks. you think that's evened out over the past 11 months?
85% among blacks, down from a high of 93% but I'd say closer to 96% voted for him.

Obama Approval Slips Among Blacks, Hispanics in March

He is sinking among white voters.

Pew Poll: Obama Struggling With White Voters - Hotline On Call

I would imagine the numbers are even worse when they poll LV/RV.

Oh, DO notice the HEAVY skew in the ABC polls toward the democrats - 10 points.

NO ONE uses a party ID skewed so much - unless they need it in order to prop up obama's numbers, which is exactly what they're doing.

Today’s WaPo/ABC sample is just as ludicrous as last December at 32/22/41, which I’d remind people is three points wider than Barack Obama’s popular-vote margin of victory in 2008 — and that included independents and crossover Republicans.
Oh 45% in this poll definitely WILL NOT be voting for bambam.

Yes - but we did not have the correct repair.

Is it time for QE3 yet?

What about more government borrowing to temporarily "create jobs"?

Obama could not find leadership if someone wrote it on his forehead.

Obama is no economic genius.

Making hundreds of thousands of dollars for many years he only paid off his student loans from many years ago when he was questioned about them.

Anyone making the money he and his wife made should not have strung out student loans like they did.

Unless of course he was waiting to get a freebie like he wants "some" people to get and never pay back their student loans like everyone else has.

He and his entire administration is clueless, about economic matters, about job creation.

He is now doing what he does (did) best - campaigning, which looks really, really BAD in light of the status of the economy. To have your CiC, running around the country, spewing his propaganda.

Floundering and amateurish are 2 words that come to mind.

His speech last week looks to have left a bad taste in the American people's mouths.

I don't think he ever stopped campaigning. Remember the bus tour for healthcare.

Right..... take a bus tour to do what you were elected to do (not that I wanted Obamacare at all).
