Obama is inheriting a worse economy from himself...,

[Misty]

Take it to the Flame Zone, Schwabbie.

shut it baglady

Ya got me!

Yep. I've made my share of bags to hold Purple Heart quilts for wounded American soldiers! God bless our troops!

You're a wonderful person FB. Liberals have weak debating skills when they know they are wrong.

I think freedombecki is a sweet gal, she just ain't too bright from what I've seen.

The economy is better than it was when Obama took office.
It could be better. His shovel ready thingy was a bust, he should have helped the small business sector. The Banks still aren't breaking down the doors of small businesses to help that group.
And it would be nice to be at least a couple of trillion less in debt.

Unemployment is increased and according to Obma it was already a catastrophe. Obama has f'd the economy up. Libs will always give him a pass though. An efficient economy is far from their goal.

America has added 5 million private sector jobs since the stimulus.

Here’s what Bush left us with.....

Aug 2008 - 334,000 net JOBS LOST
Sep 2008 - 458,000 net JOBS LOST
Oct 2008 - 554,000 net JOBS LOST
Nov 2008 - 728,000 net JOBS LOST
Dec 2008 - 673,000 net JOBS LOST
Jan 2009 - 779,000 net JOBS LOST

George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.

Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 12 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 30 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.

And now with the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, Obama has solved the deficit problem as well.

Obama has done a very good job.

Look at all those jobs that a Democratic Congress and Clinton de-regulation cost us. That sucks.

 

[freedombecki]

Are Romney and Lou Dobbs also lying?

For a recession to be considered turned around, the official time limit is 3 years of consistent economic growth. This has not occurred under Obama. It did occur however under bush.

They are being misquoted.

Under Obama, who was going to cut the deficit in half:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQT386kE4pw]2.14.11: Obama Pledges to Cut the Deficit in Half By the End of His First Term in Office - YouTube[/ame]

So now, instead of a couple of trillion, Obama has well, it's at 16 trillion and going, will be 17 trillion by his last day in office in January. National Debt Clock in Real time. Oh, it calibrates the 3 billion a day the Democrat Congress spent on the next Congress' watch, too. In January you will see people starting to worry as their paychecks are docked the highest tax rate hike in history that Obamacare was. The Democrats carefully planned it so we wouldn't feel it until he would have been re-elected.

I'm tired of being burdened by the card-up-their-sleeve-until-after-the-election Democrats.

Oh, and the current Debt clock as of now says "$16,065,991,000,000.00"

Glass-Steagall was repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Gramm, Leach, and Bliley were all Republicans and the legislation was passed by a Republican majority. What's more, the legislation was veto-proof. Even if Clinton were solely reponsible for the repeal (which is false), why would Republicans care? They're the ones who are always waving the deregulation banner, and it's the current crop of Republicans who are pushing for further deregulation.

When Republicans chastise Clinton over the Glass-Steagall repeal, what they are effectively saying is this: "How dare you sign off on Republican legislation! Don't you know we can't be trusted? Don't ever believe us again!"

 

[Chris]

The Obama budget deficits originated during the Bush presidency.....

1. Tax cuts 2001-2002 (4 trillion over 10 years)
2. Prescription drug benefits (1 trillion over 10 years)
3. Economic meltdown of 2008 ( 3 trillion and rising)
4. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (2 trillion and winding down)

80% of our National Debt was created by Reagan and the two Bushes. Reagan tripled the National Debt, GWBush gave away the Clinton surplus, gave a huge tax cut to the rich, passed a trillion dollar unfunded prescription drug bill for seniors, borrowed trillions to fight two wars, and created the largest government buildup since WWII.

And the current GOP blocks any fair taxes to pay down the deficit....

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

^^^

Yea; and every time he wants a trillion dollar "bailout" it doesn't count as deficit spending, let alone spending. He's a total deuche.

i am sure you did....That doesnt make you intelligent nor a good person because you might do a decent deed.

What good deed?

The good deed was done by the troops who took enemy fire to stop crazy people from doing another World Trade Center bombing. They stopped crazies around the planet, and they will continue to do so as long as they are asked to.

Those guys are the ones doing the good deed, not a baglady You say that I am.

I can't do enough for them.

The last $8 Trillion is all Obama's and his first 2 years of a Democrat Congress.

What were we thinking when we let those spendthrifts into power?

Obama has not passed a budget in 4 (four) that is, for kindergarteners who aren't hearing it for:

FOUR YEARS
NO BUDGET.

[The Professor]

Yeah, big business is holding the country hostage until Obama is out of office.

What a ridiculous comment... on one hand they're all greedy little bastards, but on the other they're stalling in making money until Obama is out of office.

Fair enough, there was a certain tongue in cheek element to my comment.

But at least you concur about the greed.

I didn't see that Newby concurred with anything you said.

To me it is obvious that Newby was referring to the disingenuousness of OTHERS who simultaneously maintain mutually exclusive positions. I feel the same way as Newby when I read the inconsistent and contradictory ramblings from those whose purpose to support an agenda is so powerful that they will throw logic and common sense by the wayside.

You're an intelligent person and I'm sure you have experienced both liberals and conservatives who, in the process of arguing with others, are truly arguing with themselves.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Then he claims to have inherited from Bush.

Bush unemployment 7.3
Obama unemployment 8.1

Bullshit................the Dow has doubled, housing prices are starting to rise again after bottoming out, and the economy is actually getting better.

Might wanna try facts sometime.

You know, I've for the first time seen what he was trying to say upon reading it again in your post, I clearly misunderstood him.

Though I must say, despite my embellishment of using the phrase "holding hostage", I regularly hear people on the right claim that many businesses are waiting for Obama to go before they hire again.

My agenda is to argue with freepers, not to reelect Obama.

My nation's uncertain if it wants to risk extreme socialism that President Obama represents and will foist against all our Bill of Rights stands for if he is for some misfortune, re-elected.

We're either here for Free Speech and Freedom of Religion or we are not. If you put Muslim sympathizers here and water their garden, the weeds you grow will never be gotten rid of. Never, unless the Native Americans rise up and show us how to refuse extermination this faction foists on each other at regular intervals punctuated by murderous impatience instead of cooperation with other societies.

Shut up? Sorry, I can't ever shut up for the gift that my ancestors' leaders gave them when they sludged their way through the Federalist and Anti-federalist argument to come up with the solution to an oppressed people: make human beings equal. That was the shot heard 'round the world, not some stupid cannon. That was their understanding of the Creator, and the liberty of being equal still rings as the sweetest sound to people in the world when their ear is to the solid ground that freedom is.
