Obama Better For Economy, Business Executives Say

[Saigon]

Considering this is America anything above 8% is unacceptable. It always has been.

The US has traditionally had low unemployment, which is terrific, but Americans also need to be realistic and to see he global economic context, or they will simply miss the point here.

At the moment, people in other countries can not buy US products because they are facing massive unemployment and reduced incomes. And visa versa, of course.

We live in a global economy where our economies depend very heavily on other economies, and I think a lot of Americans lining up to blame their president fail to understand that.

I think you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

Yes, we live in a global economy, I have actually argued that point on this forum more than once. That does not imply that high unemployment is a given. Currently the dollar is weak against most currencies it traditionally is strong against. That results in lower cost for US goods overseas, which should push employment down. It hasn't. That gives me every right to blame Obama for the mess, and laugh at the idiots that think foreign businesses thinking Obama is good for the economy is a good thing.

I have no obligation base my vote on what pleases foreigners, no matter how much those foreigners and American leftists insist I do.

Remain ignorant.

When there is trouble in the world economy, there's trouble with the US economy and if there is trouble with the US economy (or the European economy for that matter), there's trouble with the world economy.
Currently, we have a world economy, the US economy cannot survive on it's own anymore. It's a two-way street.

Wow, that was a lot of words you used to say nothing.

So blaming Obama for the current economy is a silly as blaming Bush?

Randian's austerity policies proposed by Mitt/Ryan will kill much of the economy.

It is those segments of our economy that would be stressed by austerity politicies who are supporting the Dems.

Those industries who would suffer from proposed Democractic policies (like allowing the tax rates to climb, or cutting back on government spending on the military) who are supporting the Reps.

Seriously, this isn't obvious to every one of us?

Seriously?

 

[daveman]

Yep you're right, here in the USofA the numbers are close - probably within the margin error but-----but if you take away the finance industry-----i.e. the finance industry that builds nothing and has cut wayyyyy back on job creating consumer and small business loans then-----then it looks like a majority of American business executives support President Obama's economic plan over that of the lyin' Ryan/Romney/Bush plan.

You need to provide documentation for that claim.

What "claim" would that be?

"...a majority of American business executives support President Obama's economic plan over that of the lyin' Ryan/Romney/Bush plan."

That one.

 

[daveman]

I don't have much faith that the policies in place are going to be good for this economy.

I have a lot of faith that the policies MITT proposes would be disasterous for this nation.

There's my choice.

Something not very good, versus something I am pretty sure is much much worse.

Obama is probably going to get my vote, unless something VERY dramatic happens to change my mind.

And that's what politicians count on, people to vote for something they don't even like... As long as they seem ever so slightly less bad than the other guy.

This country deserves to fall apart lol.

I am much more pleased with someone choosing between the lesser of two evils, if that is the way they want to look at it, than someone voting for someone because the other person is a socialist or some other completely irrational explaination.

Voting for the non-socialist versus the socialist IS choosing between the lesser of two evils.

One more month of 8% unemployment or higher and it will match obama presidency number 43.

Unemployment in Spain right now is 23%.

France and Italy are both around 10.5, the EU on average 11.1.

If you are going to whine about US unemployment, you simply have to take into consideration unemployment in other countries, othewise your posts just seem disnigenuous.

It's like a worker complaining that he only earn $50K per year when most of his co-workers earn $40K.

Thanks for highlighting that European-style socialism is unsustainable.

Somebody gets all huffy when his ass isn't kissed in the manner to which he feels he's entitled.

No, silly leftist, you CAN'T vote in our elections. Run along, now.

 

[Sallow]

Well if Obama wins I am sure the World economy will be better.
And the US economy will be worse then it is now...

If that is at all possible.

History begins and ends for you on 2009..eh?

By showing how high European unemployment is.

Why the hell would I want to? What happens in your country has no bearing on my life.

The OP left this out of the quoted article:

The result was different among respondents in the United States, where a slim majority thought Romney would be better for their businesses than Obama.

I wonder why this was omitted from the Huffpost Headline?



The election is, after all, in the USA.

 

[usmcstinger]

of course

When he takes money from us and gives it to them, we become weaker, giving them the advantage.

about 37% were honest though

Um....do you want to explain to us when and how the US gives money to Europe?

The answer is very simple. However, I will let you find out by yourself.

Remain ignorant then. You are just upset because you thought you were being cute thinking that I, an American citizen, could not vote in YOUR election. Your ignorance is a constant source of amusement.

The European economy collapse recently as a result of the mortgage backed derivative debacle.

If anything..he has shown how bad the conservative shell game that has infected American capitalism, truly is..

Seriously?

What is your point? Obviously, you do not understand basic economics. In addition, your writing skills need some work.
If you attempt to explain your point more clearly, you need to provide a viable source to back you up. I suggest you find out what a viable source means.
