Dude, if you think Obama is better than Bush (or even with him), you are beyond education.
You know what I really think? I think you are a professional bitcher. No one is ever going to be good enough for you. So what’s the point of taking you seriously?
Your kidding right? He is 100x’s as bad as Bush...but Bush was not a good president, not a good leader and not good for America.
Just because Obama is a total disaster doesn’t make Bush a good president. That is like saying Bush’s presidency was good and it is Obama’s fault!
For some reason you were content with Bush and the GOP establishment that is the core problem in our country. We need to demand better and not rationalize our way out of existence.
You suffer from a mass case of normalcy bias and the enemies of our freedom are counting on that exact principle to win.
BTW we should all be professional bitchers...our country needs a good dose of bitching at the highest levels and the loudest they can be! We are being screwed over by a bunch of clowns that keep going through this revolving door laughing at the rest of us. Americans are just a big joke to the political elite...you mean absolutely nothing to them.
There are a few exceptions like Col West and Palin but very few.
The unemployment number (which in itself is a complete scam at this point)...as with any progressive all things are a living and working document or idea...the unemployment stats have gone the way of the Constitution.
In any event consider the following:
The ratios of where people are employed are the key.
Did you ever hear of a country spending its’ way to prosperity?
A country grows when it is producing and to produce you need at the core - manufacturing.
In the early 60’s we had around 8 million government employees (now some would consider those jobs...I don't - I consider them only as an expense as the government doesn't produce anything).
We had 16 million manufacturing jobs. A ratio of 2:1 private manufacturing versus government workers.
Now zoom to current day...we have over 22 million government workers and less than 11 million manufacturing jobs... a 2:1 ratio going the wrong way.
In fact it is a formula for utter destruction...we cannot possibly overcome the spenders versus the producers.
Of course it has been done on purpose by the big govt folk (i.e. progressives) because they want it to collapse. Top down, bottom up, inside out...whammo you live in a commie country.
And where the liberal progressive left is truly more evil than the faux conservative progressive right is in the unions.
Think about all those government workers becoming unionized...that equates to 22 million campaign donors to the evil left. This has to be one of the biggest scams ever pulled in the history of the world. It redefines money laundering.
So as long as our ratios are like this...where we have 2 spenders employed for every 1 producer we will never solve our problems and remain in steady decline.
And our government expanded almost 400% since Kennedy and that was done squarely by both DEMS and the GOP.
In fact this really sums it up...LOL
