self proclaimed, are you saying he isn't a billionaire and he is just proclaining to be or are you referring to the credit he is taking? Which ever you are wrong: I will add, I certainly am not supporting him, but I do agree, he finally managed to get this in the open. God knows how much longer it would have continued to be an issue.
You're joking, right? The economy collapsed before Obama was president and just today I was reading that it has recovered to a degree that is is now stable and able to withstand instabilities in the Middle East / oil market without major fluctuations. Private sector is expanding its hiring and new jobless claims have plummeted while the stock market has regained what it lost. You're in a lonely boat if you think we're still in the basement we were in throughout 07-09.
Do you just not understand the basics of economic theory to know the process of economic recovery?
Unemployment is still at almost 9%, the housing market is lower than when it originally burst, and growth in GDP is minimal at best. Obamacare and the stimulus were FAILURES. California's economy (where I'm currently located) is among the worst, if not the worst of all the states. Obama will (hopefully) be out of office before any substantial recovery is seen.
Thanks for the kind words. Of course, I was referring to economic damage. And of course, Obama is worse for the nation than the Germans and Japanese in WW2.
It is good to see that liberals, being tolerant and accepting,are always quick to call everyone else "stupid". This false sense of intellectual superiority, along with a strange preoccupation with spelling errors defines the illness of liberalism. Given that I am "stupid", I will match my degrees, academic record, publications, and IQ points anytime. It is not necessarily flattering when one has a marginal intellect compared to those who are "stupid".
Perhaps, as you are discounting the damage that Obama has done, you could review all the benefits of-
1. $14.5 trillion in debt
Obama is responsible for about 20% of that. Bush's last budget actually had a larger deficit that Obama's first budget.

2. downgrading of US credit rating due to his reckless policies
Obama doesn't control the banks, if you are upset with this you should be upset with Bush's policies that created the Recession we are working out of. be upset with the large corporations that put their profits ahead of that is best for this country. be upset with huge corporation making billions and not paying any income taxes.
Quote:
3. unemployment at 9%
do you think Bush's GREAT RECESSION had anything to do with that?
Quote:
4. proposes $1.6 trillion deficit for 2012, when at the same time he is talking about fiscal "responsibility"
still smaller that Bush's 2009 budget deficit.
Quote:
5. inability to address the illegal immigration issue
as if anyone else has been willing to address immigration. FYI, presidents administrate and congress LEGISLATES, blame congress.
Quote:
6. aimless foreign policy which at one point condemns involvement in the middle east, while at the same time entering a war in Libya
when you play poker, do you hold you cards so your opponents can see them or do you hold them closely and only reveal them as needed? why would Obama telegraph his plans to you or anyone else?
Quote:
7. inability to act in the Gulf oil spill
Obama didn't cause the spill and he didn't have any options. The spill was BP's problem and their responsibility. I am always abused by the "we want small government" group when they complain about the government not doing enough, fast enough...
Quote:
8. suing states attempting to enforce US immigration laws, which the president himself ignores
testing the constitutionality of a law is part of enacting a controversial law. same goes for Obama's national version of RomneyCare.
Quote:
9. Limiting exploration of US coal and oil while gasoline prices soar
what limits has Obama placed on exploration?
Quote:
10. failure to deal with flawed trade polices of NAFTA and China most favored nation trade status, despite campaign promises to do so
again, those things are up to congress.
Quote:
11. violation of US campaign laws by bribing a senate candidate to drop out of an election
your opinion about law might be wrong, otherwise the FEC would have acted.
Quote:
12. barring prosecution of the Black Panthers in disrupting elections
wrong, NEW Black Panthers, and the weapon carrying dude was charged
Quote:
13. accepting illegal real estate bribes in Chicago in exchange for political favors.
if you got facts and evidence you really should present that to the law, otherwise, you thinking something doesn't make it true

We snapped back pretty quickly after Pearl Harbor. It may take decades to recover from Obama.
you should be able to get a couple of Corsi's book with that bumper sticker for a buck.
