We have a huge economy, even if 0bama went on vacation for the last 11 months the economy would slowly recover. So I never understand these drones who think a mediocre recovery means it was due to anything the president has done.

Obama has ties to them both.

Remember his close friends Raines and Johnson?

Obama has his hands in on making sure more and more people lose their homes. It's all in his big picture of how to control everything and everyone.

You'll never get liberals to understand this. Obama=Utopia. Nothing else matters.

I'll be the first to point out that no liberals have entered this thread to rebut any of this. Therefore, the only conclusion that can be made is that they know the truth, and they have absolutely no ammunition to take on conservatives. The silence is deafening.

#36 0bama's mortgage assistance program- failure

Daily Kos: Obama's Mortgage Assistance: A Warmup Joke for Health Care and Financial Sector Reform?
So far, the concept of "incentivizing" the private sector into enacting good public policy is a dismal failure. In short, the mortgage assistance programs, originally intended to help "as many as 9 million homeowners in danger of foreclosure or who have suffered sudden drops in income," are a joke without a punch line. This unamusing humor has some nasty implications for Obama's recently announced "reform" of the financial sector, and for the upcoming debate on health care reform.

Obama loan modification program moving slowly - MarketWatch

"It's a failure," said Henry Sommer, director at the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys in Philadelphia. "Were looking at millions of foreclosures on the horizon and only a tiny amount of these mortgages have received permanent modifications."

Judging on these 8 items, it would seem that liberals would highly pissed. Instead, they march blindly, in unison, right off the cliff.

It's not sad anymore. It's downright funny.

They are finding out that:

One - even though 0bama truly meant what he said, he is an empty suit that is incapable of delivering them because someone else has always been pulling his strings.

or

Two: 0bama is a lying S.O.B. that just says what he thinks people want to hear, and then ignores the people.

While I am not a liberal, I do believe Obama is the right man for the job right now, and I didn't even read her list. Just more childish ranting because she didn't get her way in the last election.

Clinton endured the same and emerged a great president. Bush was given a chance and failed, attracting well deserved criticism. Obama's handling everything just fine - hard to see when you are ideologically opposed to him, though.

People act as if we've never had a Democrat in power before. They think it's some evil socialist plot.
