I seriously want to ask all the Doom and Gloom folks (Republicans/Conservatives/TEA-Baggers) that were screaming last year (especially during the 2008 election and Obama's first 100 days) that Obama would cause the end of America!
Armageddon! Get out now! Obama will ruin America! The Depression is coming! The sky will fall! America will fail!

Ok? Why hasn't America failed under Obama as all you fear-mongers claimed would happen?
I don't care how much hate you have for Obama or how you try to spin things. America in May 2010 is in a helluva better position than it was in the End of 2007.
Admit it Fear-mongers! You all called for the end of the world if Obama was elected. America is still standing and getting better and better.
What the heck happened guys?

Now I'm not a liberal by a long shot nor have I completely agreed with everything Obama has done. But I do recognize that his leadership has done wonders for the country (something you all continue to ignore)

Obama's administration saved the country from an inevitable economic collapse!
Do you all even remember how bad things were in 2007???? We were in a RECESSION that was getting worse and WORSE. Everyone said America would undoubtedly enter into a DEPRESSION worse than the 1930s!
What happened? The recession was OVER in Obama's 1st year! America's economy (GDP) has grown every quarter since!
The Stock Market has recovered and hovering near 11,000 (after being in a free fall before Obama)


What about jobs? Yes unemployment is still high, but no intelligent reasonable individual would blame Obama for the surge of job losses (caused by 2007 recession and its aftermath). When Bush left office over half a MILLION jobs were being lost every single month. Now under Obama, America is actually GAINING jobs every month.
Where do you think Unemployment would be if Bush was still in office? Thats a rhetorical question because we all know it would be a whole lot worse.

There are so many areas I could point that has indicated that not only has Obama saved America from near collapse. He has managed to steer America into the Right direction.

Which is the exact opposite of what you Tea baggers said Obama would do!
Lets not get too much into canned tea bagging talking points (the deficit *hey you didn't care under BUSH why do you care NOW?*, heathcare, Banks and car company takeovers, etc...)

I am merely pointing out that you Tea Party (Conservative, Repubs) all cried about how the HOUSE would crumble and be destroyed under Obama.

Ignoring talking points when you all look up and STILL see the HOUSE (America) STANDING, improving, and getting better and better....

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA????

How are we in a better position then we were? How are we getting better? Higher unemployment announced today.We are back to 9.9%

Never said Armageddon was coming.

Just wait till next year when your work to pay credit ends this year and you have less money in your pocket and we get to start paying for the 670 Billion in new taxes

But what exactly has gotten so much better?

What exactly has changed from Bush being president and Obama being president? Besides we will be working more to have less.

Why hasn't the sky falling yet? If I could understand that statement maybe it could be answered.

1) Is America in a recession like we were in 2007? NO! How about an economic collapse rivaling the 1930s? NO!
BY that argument alone America is in a better position.

"Just wait till next year when your work to pay credit ends this year and you have less money in your pocket and we get to start paying for the 670 Billion in new taxes "

There we go more fear mongering! Talk to me when that happens. Thats all you all seem to do is cry wolf. NEXT YEAR Oh the end is coming! WHATEVER you all said that LAST YEAR!

Yeah yeah yeah talk to me when destruction gets here. RIGHT NOW lets talk about the PRESENT. Did Obama DESTROY America like you all claimed he would?

IMO, when they stop paying the extended unemployment (and they will) the whole house of cards will come down.

What was unemployment in 2007 and what is it today?

Since when is stating facts fear mongering? Lmbo what you think the billions they have signed into law that starts next year is going to not happen?

Do you think they signed them into law only to not enforce them? lmbo

So once again what has really improved so much?

Good point! Like I said just about every chart or indicator we can look at, shows America IMPROVING under OBAMA.
Repubs and TEA BAGGERS said NOTHING would IMPROVE under Obama. America would be destroyed, gone!
