Raise your hooves if you think things were better before Obama. I mean, you would have to have the IQ of some barnyard animal to think we were better off when we were losing 745,000 jobs a month and the DOW was at 7,900.

LOL, he is using Obama's talking points about not raising tax on 99% of people, only this time he is taking credit for it, while before he fought tooth and nail against it. Political hackery at its best.

I'm not sure why you want to change the subject but we were better off before we artificially reinflated the markets on the backs of the poor and middle class.

Yes indeed. They kept their promise, made on the day of Obama's inauguration before he'd presented a single solitary bill to Congress, to oppose everything he did, thought, said or wrote, regardless of what it might be. Now that's what I call true leadership and good governance!

Of course their promise to make him a one-term president didn't work out so well.

So, um, no.
hahaha.. the job losses stopped before the stimulus bill was even signed into law..

And the first year of the bill, only something like $35B or so was spent, are you telling me $35B turned around a $13 trillion dollar economy?

Then wtf did we spend the other $1T on if the economy was turned around already?

Your posting is even more ridiculous than Boehners comment, and I thought that was impossible to beat.

Even if what you said was true, (and its not)...

We have left wingers arguing the economy is getting better in one breath, and then in the next blaming Republicans for not creating jobs..

Ever come to the realization that government cant take money out of the economy to pump it back in to create jobs because doing so completely ignores that you just took money out of the economy which would have been spent, thus creating jobs?

Thats like the laughable claim Democrats make non stop that we should increase welfare because welfare stimulates and improves the economy, but yet every single area that has massive numbers of people on food stamps, go down hill and decline with more and more poverty and less and less jobs.

There of course is a reason for that, which is when you are handed free ****, you dont care. Why we encourage a nation of people who dont care about their neighborhoods, their children, their families, and society in general and then believe we're making improvements, I'll never understand.

Elections have consequences.. Barack Obama...

Its Obamas job to reach across the aisle and get policies passed, not the other way around..

Like I said, they set up their opposition to everything, not matter what, before Congress even sat down. That's not governance and you know it.

And who said it's the only the President's job to "reach across the aisle" besides you?
