You see my dear but confused friend, Obama gets credit for whatever works during his administration, and blame for whatever doesn't...

Sorry - but those have been the political rules of the road for Presidents since the first model came out....

Guess you can throw a temper tantrum though to voice your disapproval though and try to change the political rules.
You didnt even bother to google economic business cycles before you responded, did you?

Thank you Jean Dixon. Any tips on the stock markets?

"In the new National Public Radio poll conducted by the Democratic polling company Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and its Republican counterpart, Public Opinion Strategies, 42 percent of the 800 likely voters surveyed March 10 to 14 said that if the next congressional election were held today they would vote for the Republican candidate; an identical percentage of respondents said they would vote for the Democratic one."

When your "new ideas" are spend a lot of money, tax a lot of people and borrow all you can then print the rest, slow down. Don't count your electoral votes before they're hatched. Half the people who voted in this last election weren't around for Carternomics. Wait until they learn what that really means. Wait until they find out that inflation means they they can work as hard as they like but they'll always be falling behind because wages never increase as fast as prices. Let that sink in with the younger generation then get back to me about future elections.

I just hope there's something left in two years.
Ummm... what tax increases? And hammering of the private sector? I thought you conservatives were mad because he was HELPING the private sector with too many bailouts... which is it? You make me confused.

But when you think about it, the media HAS to prop this cipher up, because they are so highly invested in him. If they let people know what a failure he is, THEY'LL look like idiots. (As if they don't already to normal people.)
"A full 55 percent of likely American voters think that media bias is more of a problem than campaign contributions in the presidential race, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday."

Well, first there is the death tax. Obama wants it raised to 40%. Then there is the proposed tax hike for the achievers up to 39%. And do you really think this idiot is going to extend the Bush tax cuts? Bye bye child tax credits. Bye bye charitable contribution tax credits. Bye Bye low capital gains rates. Hello tax increases.

And hammering of the private sector?

Yes. When you declare war on private enterprising by blaming CEO's and oil companies and 'corporate greed' for tanking the economy (when government interference was the real culprit), when you threaten to take away "excess profits" from companies that do well, you shouldn't be shocked when the DOW (corporate performance) falls through the floor

I thought you conservatives were mad because he was HELPING the private sector with too many bailouts... which is it? You make me confused.
Right. The manchild gave bailouts to the unions, disguised as bailouts to automakers, and he gave bailouts to banks which have been big Democrat supporters. So how's GM done with its bailout?

This clown is just getting warmed up. He's still got to pay off the trail attorneys, environmental whacks, and teachers unions. By the time he gets done tearing down this economy, there won't be much left.
