I'm seriously beginning to doubt the intellectual capabilities of some people.
You want to help the country?? Quite sabotaging his attempts at reviving the economy. Enough said.
Obama may be the new FDR and this economy will recover in the middle part of this new decade, possibly towards the end of his second term. Mark my words.
This was 20 years in the making.
True to some extent, but the rate quadrupled or nearly so under Obama.
Quite sabotaging his attempts at reviving the economy.
There have been no such attempts to date. Only the opposite falsely labeled.
Hear is an idea I know none of you will like But try providing some actual statistics to back your lies......the economy was going in the toilet long before obama took over......
Actually the economy stabalized well before Obama took over and has been stagnate ever since.

um, Obama has involved us in NUMEROUS wars and Obama completely owns the failed stimulus bill. The bailout was TARP which turned out to be a total success.
Obama did increase food stamps and poverty plans by the hundreds of billions. What did you expect to be the outcome?

Actually the recession has been decades in the making, (so you admit its not Bushs fault), but we exited the recession. Yet poverty is increasing. How very odd

Please provide us with some examples so we can review your intellectual capabilities.

FDR's policies failed miserably and prolonged the recession. You are celebrating failure again

Lookee, lookee! Obama bashers concerned about poverty! Ain't that sumpin!
But it's just the phony right wing mask. Obama bashers are about as genuine in their concern about poverty as the Taliban is about religious extremism.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of America's poor swelled to almost 1 in 6 people last year, reaching a new high as long-term unemployment left millions of Americans struggling and out of work. The number of uninsured edged up to 49.9 million, the biggest in more than two decades.
Aside from the ridiculousness of your hyperbolic post. It's interesting to note that seniors 65+ remain unchanged on the poverty level. They remain out of poverty because of Social Security, which Repubs want to get rid of because it's a "ponzi scheme".
OP must have had a really bad case of hysterical amnesia for 8 years and snapped out of it in January 09.
