I am surprised that they didn't try to tell us that claims need to fall below 450,000 before we can experience positive job growth.

In left wing polls no, absolutley not. But I guess I should point out that he is starting to fall in Galup, Rasmussen has been very stuborn putting him at near 50% approval. I think he might be able to reach bellow 40% he seems so vulnerable, once that happends, watch out there’s no going back.

“The forgotten Man” should be required reading.

It is maddening to see the same absolete policies being used again. It so
obvious that even a caveman could understand... but we’re talking
marxists here.

And Canada now has a conservative government. We have a MARXIST government.

Pigs are now flying.

I guess people just aren’t charging enough stuff to their credit cards. How unpatriotic.

“The reason is simple: Would-be employers who thought they had two years after the extension of Bush tax cuts have learned that Obama plans to run a campaign against the “rich” for 2012. IOW, they will be villified, and if Obama wins those tax cuts will NOT be extended again if he wins with the cuts being the centerpiece of his campaign”

That’s why we need permanent tax cuts. People can only make rational decisions if they can plan for the long term.

He died so I guess it will never work.
