I have no idea what you are talking about. I made a comment that Odumba blamed the weather. I NEVER mentioned the 4thQ.

I want the federal government to stop paying people to not work.

I want to repeal any law that punishes employers for having full-time employees.

I wanted a strong dollar like we had in 1984 and the booming economy that it spurred.

I wanted a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Yes, we'd all be so much better off today if we hadn't suffered the worst economic catastrophe in three generations under Bush.

I'm sure the vast majority of Americans would prefer a speedier and more robust recovery.

It's a shame that the GOP house keeps torpedoing efforts to do just that.

Democratic voters don't WANT to work.

They want their free sh*t from those who do work.

They want a government that robs taxpayers for them.

They've passed endless bills to speed up the recovery. Obama and Democrats don't want to consider what the GOP has to say.

When are you going to stop blaming Bush for everything?

That's not the case for most Democrats. This divisiveness isn't good for anyone.

These people celebrate a 6.4% (still not very good) unemployment rate, while at the same time ignoring that another 900,000 working age people have stopped participating. These people are driven by envy. If they can't have what the other guy has, they'll be content if the other guys loses what he has.

We are steaming full speed ahead toward that shared misery iceberg.

The strong dollar is negotiable, as the stronger our dollar is the more it incentivizes companies to off-shore jobs. The stronger our dollar is the cheaper foreign currencies become. This is good for imports (consuming) but horrible for exports and balanced trade.

This is why Obama can exclaim that exports are up. The world is trying to keep up (or down) with China's currency manipulation.

I'd also add that nothing is ever going to change (in DC) without term limits.

The Democrats won't be happy until the economy is actually shrinking. They need their dependent voter base, so this is good news for them.

How can there be any "growth" of the economy. I was told that Obama is destroying the economy.
