4 Things That Were Supposed To Happen By 2016 Because Obama Was Reelected

[9aces]

Not to mention unemployment is over 8%

Or do you actually believe the U2 numbers as much as they've been corrupted to paint as rosy a picture as possible?

U6 is a far better judge.

U6 is down 5 points since Obama took office.

lol. That's a bigger drop than the headline U3 number.

Yes it is. When you start at 15.1%...if you don't know how to look at numbers, it would seem that way wouldn't it? What's the percentage differential. Hmm, I mean if the 2 were tied to similar metrics, the percentage differential should be similar should it now? It's not is it....why is that?

That's phantasmagorical mental fireworks.

Would you like to look at where U-6 was when Democratic President Bill Clinton handed off the presidency to GW Bush?

Unlike you, I don't fear the truth. When Clinton handed off, it was at 7.4. We can play this game all day, want to take a stab at Jimmy Carter's tenure?

Remember, the guy who resulted in something called the Misery Index coming about?

I was waiting for the Age of Aquarious:



When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation

Aquarius, Aquarius

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius

SassyIrish by her own admission has six children which means she is sucking more tax credits, deductions, and exemptions off the government than 99% of you.

In effect, you are paying her to raise her children.

Enjoy it, surrogate moms and dads.

1. Gas was supposed to cost $6.05 per gallon.
In March 2012, on the floor of the United States Senate, Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted that if Obama was reelected gas would cost $6.05 per gallon by the start 2015. Lee said that gas prices would rise 5 cents for every month Obama was in office, ultimately reaching $6.60 per gallon.

Lee was not alone. Newt Gingrich, running for the GOP nomination, predicted that if Obama was reelected he would push gas to “$10 a gallon.”

2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%
In September 2012, Mitt Romney predicted that if Obama is reelected “you’re going to see chronic high unemployment continue four years or longer.” At the time, the unemployment rate was 8.1%and had been between 8.1% and 8.3% for the entire year.

What would breaking out of “chronic high unemployment” look like in a Romney presidency? Romney pledged that, if elected, he could bring the unemployment rate down to 6% by January 2017.

3. The stock market was supposed to crash
Immediately after Obama won reelection in November 2012, many commenters predicted that the stock market was toast.

Charles Bilderman, the author of the “Intelligent Investing” column at Forbes, wrote that the “market selloff after Obama’s re-election [was] no accident,” predicting “stocks are dropping with no bottom in sight.” Bilderman said that the policies the Obama administration would pursue in his second term would “crash stocks.”

The stock market and US dollar are both plunging today. Welcome to @BarackObama’s second term.

On Bloomberg TV, investor Marc Faber predicted that, because of Obama’s reelection, the stock market would drop at least 20%.

4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse
Rush Limbaugh predicted that “the country’s economy is going to collapse if Obama is re-elected.” Limbaugh was confident in his prediction: “There’s no if about this. And it’s gonna be ugly. It’s gonna be gut wrenching, but it will happen.”

The economic freefall would begin, according to Limbaugh, because “California is going to declare bankruptcy” and Obama would force states like Texas to “bail them out.” California currently has a $4 billion budget surplus.

Limbaugh added, “I know mathematics, and I know economics. I know history. I know socialism, statism, Marxism, I know where it goes. I know what happens at the end of it.”

Limbaugh said the economic apocalypse could take “a year and a half, two years, three years.” It’s been three years and two months since Limbaugh’s prediction.

Yes, and the American healthcare system was suppose to collapse and the country would be in bankruptcy. Today unemployment is 5% versus 7% when Obama entered office. The deficit today is no higher than when he became president and is down a trillion dollars from it's peak in 2009.

Well...the American healthcare system doesn't look too good. And the deficit in 2015 looks to be about 800 billion or so. A bit under Bush's last budget, but when you're going to add 9 trillion to the debt during your watch, is this all that good? Oh and the peak in 2009? Who signed that budget?

Every budget under Barack Obama had to pay a record amount of interest on the debt accumulated by past presidents.

And every budget under Barrack Hussein Obama has added a massive amount of debt, requiring even higher amounts of interest to be paid.

Really you can thank Lyndon Baines Johnson and the Democratic party for most of that. Runaway entitlement spending....who knew it would be such a problem.

So U-6 doubled over the course of the Bush presidency? And you're bragging about that? Are you mentally retarded?

Deficits never ballooned until, tragically, Reagan was elected.

The first 7 years of GWB times were trending positive direction. The Mortgage crisis sent all over cliff. To use that as baseline or skew the average is absurd. But you knew that and do it constantly.

No, I'm not a liberal, therefore not mentally retarded. Yes the U6 went up, due to the events at the end of Bush's presidency. Note that I've never said Dubya was a great president either.

Which is of course, untrue. There have been numerous times in US history where the debt increased dramatically. The debt has been on a steady climb since 1957 and there have been zero years since that date the debt decreased.

Here's a question for you. Prior to the idiocy FDR is responsible for with the creation of the entitlement culture, about how often did the federal government run an actual surplus and pay off some of it's debt?

How often since?

Fun stuff, makes liberals heads explode, which I enjoy.

Waiting for silly asses like you to stop lying. You are simply counting everyone above the age of 16 that does not have a full time job as unemployed. That would include high school and college students, stay at home mothers, retired and disabled people. Stunningly dishonest of you.

3. Health Care reform.

5. Get the US out of Afghanistan.

But the main reason things trended positively under Bush for the first 7 years was because of the mortgage industry.

are you forgetting the $9,000,000,000,000,000 that failure added to the debt. more than all the presidents before him, even Bubba.

Well guess what skippy, reputable financial advisors have been telling people to get out of the markets for months now, citing the same type volatility that proceeded the last crash. The fed pumping billions in liquidity into the markets is the only thing that has delayed it, and that won't last.
