LOL. Glad you noticed the insanity. Obama is the Anti-Christ. I read it in CD forums so it must be true.
He hates America and businesses. That's why we succeed so much. Or something.

Of course, now that they have taken the congress, they will also try to take all credit for repairing the economy.

Oh goodie -- let's see if we can get the population up to a billion, so we can have intermittent electrics, sky-high housing and food costs, filthy beaches, lakes, and rivers, national parks used as land fills, and it will take people in cities at least several hours to commute less than 10 miles. Grow baby, grow...

Yeah Obama and Trickle Down Economics!!!

Obama has done more Trickle Down Economics than any president - even Reagan! Yet Obama can criticize Trickle Down Economics to his flock - and they are such mindless sheep they actually cheer him, not realizing their ignorance and Obama's hypocrisy on the subject.

QE Trickle Down Economics did not start until Obama won in 2008 and met with Bernanke - since then EVERY Fed pick Obama has made has been a supporter of QE Trickle Down.

Nope just a politician that lies a lot even for politician standards.

Just a politician that has out-Bushed Bush on a majority of the issues that he criticized Bush for.

Just a politician that criticizes Trickle Down Economics, yet out-Reagans Reagan on Trickle Down Economics.

As we have just seen in manufacturing slowing ;as long as we are on FED life support tis anyone guess/ most I have hear say its more like a nice house in a neighborhood that stink really. Actually the FED moves controls much of investments and confidence with government having done little to spur growth ;as they haven't done much for four years. The polls have shown for consistently that people see US as headed in wrong direction and confirmed that in last mid terms clearly.

If we do indeed have a nice economic recovery then it will probably be due to low gas prices. Remember the recession of 2008? Gas prices topped out at $4.11/gallon in summer of 2008. Coincidence?
The GOP has done nothing except cry like a bunch of babies.

Sort of... Gas prices have an effect on the CPI and how the Fed manipulates the interest rates. Oil prices determine inflation.

The dems aren't going to talk about it because they assume they have those votes locked up. And, the GOP doesn't want to focus on those issues because the dems will get credit anyway. The (legal) poor unemployed are the real victims!
Poor people can't get out of a rut because Republicans are hard at work busting unions (especially the teacher's unions), cutting budgets (stifling public sector pay & employment), sabotaging the post office, refusing the raise the minimum wage, and trying to push backdoor free-trade agreements.

I agree. The Democrats are fighting for the common man by wanting to continue to allow the Teacher's Union to have a monopoly for the health insurance provider that they own - so they can overcharge the school/government/tax payers by 30 to 40% above fair market value for the service provided and feed much of the graft over to the Democrat's campaign chest.

I also support Democrats, because they and Obama support QE Trickle Down economics. Democrats - the party of trickle down.

I'm just glad Obubba hates rich white men and tried to destroy us. I mean he tried to help blacks and blacks are suffering through much greater job loss, income loss, wealth loss, and the divide between whites and blacks economically has skyrocketed under Obbubba. He tried to help the poor and the poor have accelerated like never before during Obamas run. He tried to destroy rich whites and we have benefitted so much during his Presidency.

I'm just glad he hates me and is trying to wipe me out....if he says he wants to help out rich white men, I'm hiding my money and leaving the country.
