It really has to suck to put so much faith in a man, to believe his stupid rhetoric and promises, only to see failure. And the on top of it, you feel forced to keep supporting him. I almost feel sorry for you. I feel more sorry for Einstein. If only he knew people like you would use his name, hoping it would make you seem smarter.

Or, to blame one man. Crazy people, aren't they? Loose nuts would still provide hope... lost nuts, well they are pretty much a class of their own: "conservatives".

Chances are, when the person in charge is standing around whining and crying about this excuse and that excuse and its this persons fault and not mine......chances are, its his fault. With all the hate that Bush received, I didnt hear him giving excuses and passing blame over and over.

Obama cheered actions taken under his Admin, made many promises. He was so sure his way of things was the right way. A few years later, economy still sputtering, high unemployment, a few scandals, and he can only think to blame everyone and everything else but him.

When you can't handle ANY criticism on Bush with regards to the state of economy today, you shouldn't use big sentences on a public forum and expect to get away with it.

But, with regards to the subject at hand (although to you, it is all about Obama... one man and his influence... isn't it?), do you believe the economy operates in a vacuum?

Last night was a disturbing program on. It was about this Country becoming as a thrid World

Maybe some saw it too. The stories were heartbreaking, and how people went from this to where they now are, as broke, homeless, and some sick. Story after story, people in their thirties, to their late sixties. Their was sad story after sad story.

This is something they also showed.



US Population 313.7 million {june 2012}

US Poverty rate 15.1% {2010} up at that time from 14.3% in 2009

US Employment rate 8.2% as of May 2012

analysts state, things cannot go on as they now are. Too many unemployed, too many homeless, too many sick.

Listen to some of the stories, you cannot imagine youself being in the same situation, until you hear these sad stories, some also thought they had it all. As fast as you have it all, it can leave just as fast.

My heart was breaking for the children now homeless!

Just have the Fed pump and dump for a few more months. Got to get Obama through elections.
The economy can't totally crap out now..they HAVE to do something to keep the sails blowing in the right direction.

No, it took a whole Democratic congress to help Obama eviscerate community banks under the guise of getting the bad guys. It took a lot of Democratic state governments to inflict costly and useless green energy mandates on so many states. It took the massive bureaucracy of the EPA to force so many enterprises out of business.

You are right, President Obama could not have done all of that in a vacuum--it took a lot of help.

Try not to repeat the lie that your opposition favors dirty water or dirty air. We like the environmental progress that has been made--we just don't believe the whole country should be impoverished in order to make marginal additional progress.

Idiots.
It's the conservatives that believe that wages can simply be raised despite Chinese competition?

You're right, this nation was on a fantastic track to prosperity, until republicans were tossed out in 2007, and Obama elected.
- The right wing, "I want my country back", belief system

Got it.

No, conservatives believe that China can be used as a model to compete with them.
