Obama is the Democrat's Reagan

[Chris]

The story of postwar capitalism is the story of how the New Deal Democrats made sure we had high paying American jobs. The story of post Reagan capitalism is the story of how companies like Bain created massive profits for the elite by shipping American jobs to freedom-hating sweatshop nations.

yeah you're right.....they probably dont know OBama is for it yet.....but those black pastors seem pretty pissed and they're the ones that organize the voter drives and take folks to the polls.....might not be the same turnout you're looking for from the black community.

They'll be up bright and early to vote against the racist republicans.

You keep thinking that!

Some will get up early so they can take the bus to several polling places, but many have lost the idol worship they had for obama in 08 and most will stay home.

President Obama has stretched his lead over Mitt Romney to 6 percentage points nationally, according to the Gallup daily tracking poll released Wednesday.

Obama takes 50 percent support over Romney's 44 percent.

Barry is nothing like RR.

Reagan and Clinton worked across the aisle quite well.

Barry never had any intention of working with the Reps. He won after all and they were relegated to the back of the bus and told th STFU.

Yeah. Barrys a winner.

Barry has tried to work with Republicans. Outside of the ACA, anything that has past has Republican written all over it. Obama has not been the obstructionist here; trying to convince anyone that he has been is futile.

What's "futile" is for you progressives to attempt to spin the fact that Barack Obama went into his first term with majorities in both the House and Senate which made it unnecessary for him to work with the GOP, which is why he gave them his famous "Elections have consequences...I won!" speech and then told them to go wait in the hall while Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid locked themselves in their offices and wrote the Stimulus and ObamaCare. That isn't "working" with the Republicans. That's telling the Republicans..."I've got the votes...so we either do it my way or we do it my way."

But a funny thing happened with the election of Scott Brown and then the shellacking that the Democrats took in the 2010 mid-terms...poor Barry lost his majorities because the American people were unhappy with how far to the left he was taking us and how he ignored their wishes over health care reform.

So all of a sudden Barack Obama "needed" some of the GOP to go along with him if he wanted to pass some more of his agenda like Cap & Trade and Card Check. But by that point he'd poisoned the well to such an extent that not only wouldn't the GOP work with him...he couldn't even get moderate Democrats to sign on.

So I guess you're somewhat correct when you say that Barry isn't an "obstructionist" Auditor...

What he IS...is a really bad politician who kicked the opposition when they were down and then was fucked when the GOP came roaring back in 2010. Ronald Reagan would have never done something that stupid. Reagan went out of his way to foster a great friendship with Tip O'Neil even though the two men were far apart on their political visions.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The U.S. housing industry -- crucial to any jobs recovery -- showed more signs of strength, according to two reports issued Wednesday.

The Census Bureau said housing starts and permits rose substantially in August. Separately, sales of previously occupied homes climbed 7.8% from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Builders started on new homes at an annual rate of 750,000, up 29.1% compared with a year earlier. They applied to build another 803,000 new homes on an annual basis, a 24.5% jump compared with August 2011.

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.

Stocks do 9 times better with a Democrat in the White House....

While Republicans promote themselves as the friendliest party for Wall Street, stock investors do better when Democrats occupy the White House. From a dollars- and-cents standpoint, it’s not even close.

The BGOV Barometer shows that, over the five decades since John F. Kennedy was inaugurated, $1,000 invested in a hypothetical fund that tracks the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) only when Democrats are in the White House would have been worth $10,920 at the close of trading yesterday.

That’s more than nine times the dollar return an investor would have realized from following a similar strategy during Republican administrations. A $1,000 stake invested in a fund that followed the S&P 500 under Republican presidents, starting with Richard Nixon, would have grown to $2,087 on the day George W. Bush left office.

And you can thank Bill Clinton for collapsing that housing industry. That's what happens when government interferes with the free markets in the name of communism.

As usual, Chris posts a lie. Here are the facts:

Jobs created since Obama took office: 4,500,000
Jobs lost since Obama took office: -5,000,000
For a net total of: -500,000 (hence the higher unemployment than any point under GWB).

Actually, Chris...Barack Obama's policies and lack of leadership has us in the worst recovery from an economic downturn SINCE the Great Depression. Instead of concentrating on fixing the economy and getting millions of Americans back to work he chose to pursue the progressive's "Holy Grail" of universal health care. So while he passed what is the most badly written piece of legislation in our nation's history, something that will bankrupt the US, those millions of Americans used up their life's savings trying to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families. Instead of letting GM file for bankruptcy and reorganizing like thousands of other companies have successfully done, Barack Obama stepped in...not to "save" GM...but to save the UAW...spending billions of our tax dollars to keep his union buddies from losing their benefits. As for the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts "solving" the deficit problem? Dude, we're about to go off a fiscal cliff as Barry dithers. He hasn't "solved" anything. As usual he's given us rhetoric instead of real solutions and real leadership.

We have just had the fastest drop in unemployment since 1984....from 10.2% to 8.1%. All this in spite of the fact that House Republicans have blocked infrastructure spending bills that would have helped. Why? Because Republicans are more concerned with winning the election than helping America.

No obama's labor department is good at manipulating the numbers so dumb cock suckers like you will be able to accept them.

Could the contrast be any greater between Romney, who looted American companies and shipped their jobs overseas, only pays taxes at a 13% rate, stashes his money in the Cayman Islands to avoid U.S. taxes, and President Obama who saved GM and created 32 straight months of private sector job growth?

Obama is an economic patriot.

Romney is an economic traitor.

Obama is an economic patriot.

Romney is an economic traitor.

Obama's "Jobs Czar" Jeffrey Immelt, is the CEO of GE, a company that paid ZERO taxes last year and shipped tens of thousands of jobs overseas. What so "patriotic" about that?

The truth is, Mitt Romney's company was responsible for the survival of many American corporations and the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.

Barack Obama is an "economic patriot?" Really? He's the guy who's led us to a 16 trillion dollar deficit by spending more than any President in the nation's history. He's the guy that's put four people on food stamps or unemployment for each job that he's created. He's the guy who's lack of leadership caused our country's credit rating to be downgraded for the first time in our long history. He's the guy who's response to the looming deficit cliff is to propose raising taxes on the wealthy, something which if we took ALL of the income the wealthy create STILL wouldn't balance our budget while it would totally devastate our economy. What exactly is "patriotic" about dividing the country with a class warfare message simply to get himself elected to another four years at a job that he's proven he's incapable of handling during the FIRST four years he was in office?

Barack Obama didn't "save" GM...he saved the UAW.

And the 32 months of private sector jobs growth has been 32 months of ANEMIC job growth when historically, job growth following a recession is much more robust. Barack Obama's policies didn't HELP job growth in the private sector...his policies HINDERED job growth! If it wasn't for things like the shale oil "boom" in the Dakotas, something that Barry had ZERO to do with his jobs numbers would be even MORE abysmal. If he'd gotten Cap & Trade legislation pushed through like he wanted those jobs numbers would REALLY be in the toilet.

Yep, can't agree more, look how much cash GM is hemorrhaging, and how much they still owe the American tax payer. In short it's one hell of a way to run a business.

Romney represents capital's desire for the higher returns through cheaper labor costs.

Capital does not care about externalities like patriotism or morality; if it can get higher returns stabbing the American worker in the back in favor of sweatshop labor, than so be it.
