Lowest of Any President At This Point...

Yeah, sure.

Reagan enjoyed a massive turnaround on the economy and his tax cuts are credited with producing millions of jobs. Obama has produced ZERO jobs thus far- he has lost 4 million jobs and counting- and he is talking about tax increases, increased regulations, and more entitlement programs. He's going exactly the wrong way and voters will punish him and his party for it.

Of course you conveniently forget that the hemorrhaging of jobs began in 2007 and accelerated at a record pace by the end of 2008. But it's still all Obama's fault.

It's his fault now because he refuses to curb spending. The reason why the U.S. economy tanked was entirely the fault of the 2007 Congress, Greenspan, Summers and Rubin....Democrats.

Clinton was president in 2007? The PBS documentary goes way back to the 90's, my friend.

That said, the current administration IS working on tighter financial regulations, especially controlling derivatives. But it's the same powerful financial institutions that are fighting this tooth and nail, the reason why they are eager to pay back TARP loans--to get the government out of their business.

The numbers don't lie. Ron Paul was a no show in the Republican Primaries. Outside of an internet following he has no measurable base.
In a general election his crackpot views only draw other crackpots

Ron Paul's ideas weren't necessarily crackpot, but so advanced in theory that the entire economic system would have been turned on its head indefinitely while such drastic changes he touted took place. Even Ron Paul has admitted that. So he remains a pure ideologue whose fiscal proposals don't stand a chance in the real world.

Got any examples of Ron Paul's "advanced" fiscal proposals??

Seems to me that requiring a balanced budget, paying off the national debt, pulling out of foreign nations and foreign entanglements, and following the constitution are all quite FUNDAMENTAL.

He would do away with the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and every other financial regulatory body which, like it or not, are so deeply intertwined with all facets of monetary policy as to be impossible to neatly untangle. I actually don't disagree with a lot of Ron Paul's suggestions, but I just think he's burying his head in the sand if he thinks it all would be a snap and not wind up actually hurting a lot of businesses and therefore a lot of people while he starts from ground zero if ever given the chance.

Spinatra has a curious contempt for thinking before he posts. I've never understood that attitude.

Nope, it's not. Which means that while the thread title may be factually correct, this thread is another...

Obama is a dilettante who reads a book and calls it "life". His sum total of experience was a few years as a "Community Organizer". This is a man who has never had a real job.

In my book, a "Community Organizer" is a glorified hippie. Hippies are good for one thing - punching in the face.

Next time you decide to elect a pot smoking hippie to the "highest" office in the land, don't be surprises when he fails. Better yet, punch the hippie in the face before he runs.

The best advice I've ever seen given on this board!!!!!

You people DO realize that Jesus (the person you most like to stand behind) was a hippie, right?

He didn't have a job, ran around in sandals, had long hair and smoked cannabis. Matter of fact, one of the 3 main ingredients of the Holy Anointing Oil of the Kings of Israel was cannabis oil.

There is also archaeological evidence that it was used in Israel both medicinally and for recreation.

Oh yeah......hippies also gave you Google, the internet, cell phones and most technology that exists today that people use daily.

Yeah......right.......tell me again how bad hippies are.

Oh, and for the record, Obama never had a credit card from his father to use while he went to school. His father was absentee, and Obama put himself through college.

The credit card silver spoon punk that you're thinking about is the alcoholic, coke snorting, pot smoking idiot known as Bush Jr.

And yes, pot is one of the things Bush Jr. did.

So did Glenn Beck come to think of it.

 

[saveliberty]

So your saying pot is why religion and Obama have such low poll numbers?

 

[ABikerSailor]

No, I'm stating that hippies and cannabis are not bad things.
