Obama’s Failing Record: The Numbers Do Not Lie

[rightwinger]

Oh....it's Bush's fault and just bad luck.

Sometimes you just have to buck up and admit..

Yes, it WAS Bushs fault

 

[The T]

Yes Bush left Obama with a mess. And it took a long time to climb out of the greast depression. I suspect things will go slow as long as we have the do nothing House of Rep.

So Obama and the Statists in Congress double and triple down on it while pointing the boney finger of indignation at Bush...

Really?

It is really amazing how badly the republicans screwed up the economy but left a legacy of unfunded wars, unfunded programs and a massive tax cut that made it impossible to balance the budget

To top it off, Republicans blocked every measure that attempted to fix the mess they created

Funny how they managed to block stuff when the Democrats locked them out in the hall with their Super Majorities, Winger.

The fact of the matter is...Barack Obama came into office saying that he had plans to fix the economy and he was going to hit the ground running! Then he put the economy on a back burner and used the crisis to go after universal health care instead. All those people on long term unemployment? They can thank Barack for that. His priorities didn't start with them or creating jobs.

Obamas first order of business was the economic stimulus followed by bills to save the financial sector and the auto industry. In the face of an eminent economic collapse, he prevented a depression

The super majority lasted only seven months. Republicans have since blocked numerous jobs bills and aid to the unemployed.

In spite of that, over two million jobs have been created

LOL, by bills to save the AUTO INDUSTRY? or you mean to save a COUPLE of auto companies for his union buds?

the numbers don't lie...you all will just have to deal with it. That is why his approvals are in the low 40's....tsk tsk

Yes, it WAS Bushs fault

One day you will just have to say "yes, Obama DID double down on it, and is at fault."
I'll be waiting for that one.

Don't hold your breath for that..

One thing this country has been taught is that much like the Great Depression, when Republicans fuck things up.....they fuck them up royally

My favorite part is where they giggle and say.....We screwed things up so bad, nobody can fix it

Given the facts today you have to be a complete #$%&ing idiot to STILL buy into the left right paradigm. There is a blue side of the coin and a red side, but it’s still the same god dammed coin.

 

[skipper]

Hi Paul, I posted this earlier also, I didn't get the graph like you did..Of course the standard reply from the left is Bush left him with SUCH a mess so these numbers are to be expected or something like that....

I'm sure they will merge these two..

Merge? Both need to be round filed. Threads like these that leave out the prior contextual landscape are designed for morons.

 

[paulitician]

Perfect.

That's a crock, Winger...Obama's first order of business was use his super majorities to go after ObamaCare. He used the so called "stimulus" to reward his union buddies and the people who ponied up cash for him in the green industries, investing our money in turkeys like Solyndra. TARP is what prevented a depression and that wasn't even Obama's program but something he carried over from W. It's three years later and Barry is STILL trying to come up with a jobs plan.

Republicans have been seeking cuts in government spending ever since they took back the House in 2010. It's what the electorate elected them to do but not only won't this Administration make cuts...it can't even submit a freaking budget. Meantime, Harry Reid sits on 30 plus bills that the GOP House has sent to the Senate, not letting any of them come up for votes and Barack Obama hasn't even talked to GOP leaders IN SIX MONTHS!!! Yet you accuse the Republicans of obstruction? That's amusing...

Two out of three aint bad

And his union buds had to accept severe cutbacks in wages and benefits. While the auto companies are now returning to profitability, the workers who took cuts to save them have not seen any payback

 

[rdean]

This OP lies about everything all the time.

For those on the right, isn't "bearing false witness" against one of their occult books or mystical passages?

as expected

You mean it's not? I didn't know. Thanks for clearing that up. Now I get the lies.

Indeed. This government is engaged in picking winners and losers when they have no business doing any of it.

The people who had to accept severe cutbacks were the GM bondholders that Obama moved his union friends in front of in the que of lienholders. And then people like you wonder why investors are reluctant to sink capital into the US? When you've got a President who thinks the "rule of law" is something that can be tossed out the window whenever it suits his purposes why would anyone want to invest in a business that "he" is going to be able to affect in such a way?

You need to go back and pull out your calendar. Obamacare did not pass until the end of 2009 after the Dems had lost their supermajority

Stimulus and the bailouts were accomplished in the first four months.

The republicans have looked to slash funding to programs on their hate list. They have not wanted to address debt reduction as a whole, returning to previous tax structures or cutting defense. They have steadfastly protected the one percent while allowing the country to court default

The GOP Congress has not passed a single significant piece of legislation because they load each piece of legislation with poison pills such as "repeal Obamacare" "pipeline" and "ban gay marriage"

If they were serious, they would pass bipartisan bills and get the country moving again

During the failed "cash for clunkers", how Toyota was demonized with the brake recall from our government. Then after the cash for clunkers it was found to be a bogus issue and there was no problem with the brakes.
Classic case

 

[paulitician]

Hardly anything to congratulate himself over. Was he high or something?

The GM bondholders invested in an industry that had to ask the taxpayer to bail them out. They deserved to lose money. The union employees accepted major cuts in wages and benefits.
Unlike Bush, who just threw money at the auto companies. Obama insisted on a major restructuring and government oversight of how our money was being used. Obamas bailout worked......Bushes left them asking for more money in six months

A major success for the Obama administration

naah s0n..........Keynesian economics is gay. ( and near death I might add) Never worked in the history of the world. Clearly, the majority doesnt want any more of this shit.....plus, he had ample time to do anything the fcuk he wanted with the deck stacked with Dums a couple of years back and he didnt do dick. He owns this shit now. November cant come fast enough..........
