Obama has steered America onto the rocks and we're taking on water fast. Obama and his appointees have donned their life vests and headed to their assigned lifeboats.
Our country is sinking, we're bailing to stay afloat - keep our heads above water - and witnessing "Captain" Obama and his crew plotting to claim salvage rights.
Is there anyone left in the country, other than politicians, who still think free trade agreements create jobs in America?
You are correct - the vultures are plotting to get the best parts as the nation dies.
If we could get some of those who are supposedly conservatives, to do what the Dims are supposedly planning - tell the real truth about what is going on instead of pussy-footing - they would garner our support and probably even convert a few lefties...
These jerks don't get it.
If there is already reduced demand for a company's products, the company is not going to hire more people to replace the ones they just had to lay off.
Tried that. Didn't work. How come? Because nobody hires in order to get a tax incentive. Dopes.
Democrats are also pushing the White House to help homeowners facing foreclosure.
Tried that also. Also did not work. Frigging Muppets.
0bama's crew still believes the electorate will judge him on the basis of rhetoric instead of results. The only thing that's going to matter next year is if the unemployment rate is higher than 8%. If it is, he can speachify until he's blue in the lips, and it won't make a bit of difference. The President historically owns the economy and that's all there is to it.
You'd have to be pretty obtuse not to find this statement hilarious. Obama's idea of 'pursuing elusive compromise' is to whine, bully and lecture, in no particular order. It's certainly combative.
I don't know what 'more combative' would be. More whiny, more pushy, more sanctimmonious? Are they really wargaming that one, checking to see if it might hold some promise?
Hey, here's an idea. Give up. Get the hell out of the economy's way. Cut regulation. Cut spending. Then, when you're done, sail on to re-election.
Don't worry about the free advice. Obama would rather crash and burn than admit his policies don't work. That's why he's threatending to 'take it up a notch' rather than go back to the drawing board and get some real compromises going with the GOP. He's sooner lose an election than admit ideological defeat.
= "Demonize, vilify, blackguard, and smear."
So what's up, Doc? Anything new over there?
he will make sure the public knows who is standing in the way and why.”
. . .
Yes, yes. It’s ATMs, earthquakes, Bush, Big Oil, the rich, Republicans, Arab Spring, tax cuts, speculators, bad weather.....
Obama’s already started to blame the economy on the republican controlled House.
The BEST argument to bring to the American people is to remind them that until january or this year, Obama and the democrats had a super majority and did nothing with it.
Another reminder: Since 2006 they controlled Congress until they lost the House and republicans took over THIS year.
This needs to be one of our mantras
If higher taxes are so great and what a majority of Americans want, I sure hope Obama and the rest of the Democrats make that their #1 campaign platform for 2012.
“Administration officials, frustrated by the intransigence of House Republicans, have increasingly concluded that the best thing Mr. Obama can do for the economy may be winning a second term, with A MANDATE TO ADVANCE HIS IDEAS on deficit reduction, entitlement changes, housing policy and other issues.”
obama has been successful with his ideas in his first term. Of course he wants a second term to continue The Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America.
His “idea” on deficit reduction is to increase the deficit.
Entitlement change is to create more entitled people dependent on the State.
Housing policy: higher foreclosure rate with redistribution of the homes to the deserving entitlement class to achieve economic justice.
And whining to the public is leadership??? This is why his polls are sinking.
I have not accepted the reality that this useless joker is really the POTUS.
It's mind boggling!
It is imperative that the Republicans seize control of the PR in this debate. They owe it to the country, and that's not an overstatement.
Most of us here know how Barney Frank, Franklin Raines, Clinton's push for easier - higher risk mortgages, and democratic opposition to attempts by the Bush administration to reform Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac contributed in a very significant way to the collapse of the housing market and our current economic woes.
Probably all of us here know that S&P and Moody warned that a downgrade was coming unless we decreased the deficit and had a plan to decrease our debt. We know that the Tea Party is a loose collection of citizens of all stripes who all agree that the government needs to spend less and balance its checkbook - and not just keep going back to the American taxpayer and taking more to finance their fiscal indiscretion.
However, more people in the country have heard and believe that our economic problems are due to the ‘Bush Tax Cuts’, greedy Wall Street financial people and bankers, and greedy corporations. Many have recently heard and believe that our credit downgrade was caused by the Tea Party being ‘uncooperative’.
Misperception can become the established ‘truth’ for many, and thus cannot be left to stand.
Now you’re mixing the overall economic trade picture with your original statement which was limited to free trade agreements. You need to stick with data that is limited to the point of the discussion.
Obama mandate = Larry Sinclair
