Who ever thought the saying, “It’s the economy stupid” from James Carville in 1992 would become a staple in presidential elections 20 years later?
That expression made its way into the campaign in 2008 and according to Carville it could be theme of the 2012 campaign as well as President Barack Obama seeks reelection. In an appearance Monday’s “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Network, the former Clinton adviser said if improvements weren’t made in gains in the unemployment picture based on the May jobs number, it could be a rough road for the president.
“[L]ook, I don’t think anybody — if 54,000 new jobs is the new standard, it’s going to be a very, very rough 2012 for President Obama,” Carville said. “But three-month average was 160,000. If that is the case, then he will do OK. I can’t tell you what will happen. But yes, if this, if this last jobs number is an indication of future job numbers, it’s going to be very, very rough.”
Carville cited a 2009 book by Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff called “This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly.” According to the book, the current economic situation, as with similar crises of this magnitude, take time to work themselves out and there’s little Obama may be able to do.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“......there’s little Obama may be able to do.”
Pure B/S.
This bastard, Obama, needs to be removed from the White House and I personally don’t give a damn how it’s done.
I would say that Obama is banking on civil unrest...can cancel elections then and be Totus for life.
didn’t Carville write the book—
40 more years, how Democrats will rule the next generation
how’s that working out for you? (to quote Herm Cain!!!)
LOL
But Carville said the consequences aren’t limited to politics alone. He warned of heighten risk of civil unrest with the bleak economic picture.
“You know, look – this is a humanitarian — you know, you’re smart enough to see this,” Carville said. “People, you know, if it continues, we’re going to start to see civil unrest in this country. I hate to that, but I think it’s imminently possible.”
Really Serpent Head? That average is terrible considering the amount of jobs lost under this loser. With that as the standard, unemployment will be at 9% well into Nov 2012. That is a guaranteed kiss of death for reelection.
BTW Jimmy, your prognostications have been dead wrong for the last 15 years or so, haven't they?
If just one patriot in Congress started to investigate Hussein back to his supposed birth, he would be TOAST now along with his accomplices and those hiding the truth. Traitors all.
If there is civil unrest it will be because the media and the democrats will be promoting it with lies.
Hate the rich - hate the conservatives.
Possible? I expect to see it this summer.
If you haven’t already it’s time to prepare. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
I think that we are at the very least in for a collapse much like that of Argentina’s ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but as a armed society with a very large entitlement minded population our collapse will be much more violent and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and large scale violence (look at what happened just this past Memorial Day weekend). I see what I call ‘Pocket Pogroms’ taking place in many big ‘Blue’ cities and if you aren’t Amish it’s going to get Reginald Denny bad for you very quickly.
For those who haven’t prepared and would like to start or for those that have and are just interested you may download my Preparedness Manual at:

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

I am certain that if civil unrest is NOT developing by 2012, the Liberals will invest enough $$$$ to assure that it DOES!!!
Unfortunately, the Great Capitulator in the White House isn’t up to the task. He’s been office for over two years and hasn’t hanged a single Conservative. That kind of timidity won’t win the class war the Conservatives started.
FYI, there are more sicko liberals like this guy than most people would be willing to believe.
Now, mind you, George W. Bush and Sarah Palin have not mastered the English language. They are clearly stupid. But, from Carville's oh-so-articulate explanation above, you can see he's a genius.
It's what Obama SHOULDN'T have done that could have made the difference. His arrogance in pursuit of failed liberal ideals has prolonged the downturn to where it now seriously jeopardizes his re-election.
if there is going to be “civil unrest’ if we don’t vote for Obambi then BRING IT ON
I will not be threatened into voting for someone
I would rather slap them down... hard
Now he is acting as though its all an act of God & there's nothing anyone can do about it.
POS.
All part of the plan.
“I would say that Obama is banking on civil unrest...can cancel elections then and be Totus for life.”
The 0bamafuehrer will create a Reichstag Fire Event in order to bring about your scenario.
call ‘em what ya like; I calls these scum as I sees ‘em...
