Hi Pot, Meet Kettle
Unless the economy turns around, as it seems it may do, obama's record sucks.
There are over 1.5 million fewer net jobs today than when he took office
He added more to the debt already than bush did in 8, and he called bush unpatriotic for his debt spending
Obamacare is unpopular
Stimulus is unpopular and failed
Killing bin laden and being smart about using seals to rescue hostages wont be enough to overcome that.
It will be a close election and obama is no shoe in.
The economy has turned around, dude.
The stimulus worked.
9 straight quarters of GDP growth, almost two straight years of monthly private sector job growth.
Compare that to losing 700k jobs a month and GDP shrinking at a rate of 5% when he took office.
That's a turn around no matter how to try to spin it.
And LMFAO @ trying to compare Bush debt to our current debt. One was by choice during alleged "good" economy ... another was HANDED to Obama (the first trillion+ debt was under Bush) along with a tail spinning economy with falling government receipts while MILLIONS were being put out of work.
You think every year's budget is in a vacuum?
C'mon now.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that the FACT that the economy is in MUCH better shape than he got it wont be perfectly articulated every day of the campaign season.
Oh, and you're two front runners are awful candidates. One guy almost nobody likes and the other has made flip flopping an art form and can't relate to anyone besides the uber wealthy.
Have fun with all that.
I'm curious, Article...do you REALLY not realize that the economy historically rebounds from recessions and that it has done so many times before without our going trillions of dollars in debt with programs like the Obama stimulus?
What you credit Obama for would have occured no matter who was in the Oval Office. In fact the incredibly sluggish recovery...yes we've had 9 straight quarters of growth but it's been so slight as to be almost nonexistant...is due in large part to the uncertainty that this Adminstration had fostered with it's policies. If you want to know why the Private Sector is sitting on trillions of dollars that would normally be invested then look no further than what Barack Obama has done with things like ObamaCare, threatened EPA actions, threatened Cap & Trade regulations, legal actions against companies like Boeing and Gibson Guitars by the Obama DOJ, moratoriums on drilling permits in the Gulf, and stone walling projects like the oil pipeline to placate the environmental lobby.
The American economy is poised to make a comeback but not as long as this idiot is sitting behind a desk in the Oval Office...because Barack Obama is the most anti-Private Sector President we've ever had.
