Poll: Obama 'worst president' since World War II

A very real truth is that if the right repeats the same lie often enough, the sheeples will believe it.

What Has President Obama Done? Here’s a List of 253 Accomplishments, with Citations | The PCTC Blog

What the heck has Obama done so far?

182 things President Obama has accomplished. - CNN iReport

Willfully ignorant RWs can lie and whine but the real fact is that not one of you can refute the facts of those links. Further, you don't even try. Instead, you just lie and whine some more.

Change your panties

Right on cue.

He can't answer, he can't refute the FACTS so he hurls those killer insults. Really put me in my place, huh?

The facts are Americans consider Obama the worst president DESPITE all the shit you posted.
And THAT puts both you & Obama in your place...

Very simply, the reason our economy is run to benefit the very richest among us (including Big Business Inc.) is because the richest among us have The Money (duh!), and money buys influence in Congress. And that's the reason, no matter which party controls the gummint at any given time, it's never going to change.
In a perfect world, it's the middle class that would be given ALL the economic advantages, like a 0% tax rate, and THAT would create wealth for everybody, including, but not limited to, the very richest among us.

There is little doubt that government, especially the federal government, has skewed the economy in favor of big business.

However, they have done that through regulatory policies, not tax policies. Excessive regulation hinders new entrants into a market, and therefore, limits competition to existing businesses. We all lose in such an economic environment.

For the most part, from what I saw, those lists just list pretty much every action Obama has taken in office without citing any actual benefit from the actions. If you want to talk about "accomplishments" list the actual benefits that have come from his actions.

Are you a rich person? If so, you can certainly vote Republican and you should as they will keep you rich. But if you are not, and are in the Middle Class, have a simple job that is just enough to pay the bills but you don't have the better things in life that they have, then you need to reassess your reasons for voting Republican.

You won't get ahead at any point in time, my friends, by voting Republican, quite the opposite actually, unless you belong to the 1% group. Don't fool yourselves by having to learn the hard way. Know and understand this well before stepping into that voting booth in November and then again in 2016. And don't let them kid you. Your Vote Counts!

I hate to point out the inconvenient, PT...but the Middle Class has taken a beating under the Obama Administration while the rich have gotten much richer. How THAT became the GOP's fault is a mystery...

Just saying...

The failed "Free Markets" dogma and the deregulation of the banking industry that ultimately collapsed the economy in 2008 were all Republican polices that have gone horribly wrong for the middle class. The wealthy made out like bandits because those policies were designed to enrich them and they did exactly that. However the MC has taken the hit and there hasn't been any serious attempt to remediate the causes because of willful obstruction by the GOP of all of Obama's policies.

you do know that the dems are running the economy.

so you know that is, in fact, the dems that are making more and more people poor.

since these facts are irrefutable; Why do you want your fellow Americans to suffer?

What you say is quite untrue. But for your answer, read this and then tell me which administration is better with the economy.

Are Democrats really much better economic presidents than Republicans? | AEIdeas

 

[PoliticalTorch]

If your only option for making your life better is dependent upon the federal government doing something for you, you are a world class loser. You are also a slave in waiting, and sooner or later, government will begin yanking the chains. Enjoy the life you deserve.

And what gave you that convoluted idea? For your information unless a person is in dire straits, down and out and can't find a job, they then have to unfortunately turn to government subsidies in order to just exist and keep them and their families afloat while they continue to look for work.

No one who is healthy and capable of working would ever find it better to live on the small, penny-pinching amount of pay they would get from the government. Most people, that is, Democrats, would much rather have a well-paying job where they could make more money to support their family and themselves instead of remaining in the poor house through mere government subsidies. But when there is no other choice or option or way due to illness, age, or condition then they obviously realize that the money they paid during their working years to the government they are most entitled to some relief and help until they are employable again if they are able to work. So, you're wrong that they are merely dependent on the federal government because that is the absolute last place they would turn to if they had the choice between having a good job and making good money vs. getting a small fraction of what they could be getting were they employed.

Perhaps you have forgotten that the Middle Class could have had So Much MORE had the Republicans cooperated with President Obama and gotten bills passed that would help the American people. That did not happen so you can't blame the president for that. If anyone is to blame it's the Republicans for their obstructionism and inaction that only serves to Hurt the American people.

Over and over again, I've heard this administration declare that they are working for the Middle Class, Political T. and yet time and time again their policies have hurt the Middle Class. I have no idea what you're talking about when you make the statement that the GOP obstructed bills that would have helped the Middle Class. What bills specifically are you referring to?

ObamaCare was not a good bill for the majority of Middle Class people. I'm sorry but it wasn't! It raised the cost of healthcare substantially for those in the Middle Class and those costs are going to go up even more once the the true costs are passed along. It's good for two groups of people...those with pre-existing conditions and those who are so poor that they will get the majority of their premiums paid with subsidies. For the Middle Class? They are the ones who will end up footing the bill for those two groups. They will end up with higher costs and degraded services.

How does a higher minimum wage help the Middle Class? It's going to drive up the cost of goods and services. It's going to kill jobs for lower class people. So how does THAT help the Middle Class?

How does the Obama Administration's policies towards energy help the Middle Class? Shutting down coal fired power plants will raise the cost of electricity for Middle Class people across the nation. Not allowing drilling permits to go through will leave the US vulnerable to conflict in the Middle East. Thankfully lands that were NOT controlled by Obama and the Feds have given us a glut of both oil and natural gas that has kept prices from skyrocketing. Barry had nothing to do with THAT...new energy production on lands that HE controlled went down!

You're wasting your time on republicans. They aren't smart enough to understand how destructive their party is. All the average joe republicans want to hear is their elected officials droning on and on about freedom, Reagan, and warm apple pie. They don't want to hear the truth about the serious wealth gap problem.

Too bad the facts say otherwise!

Orthodox economists have failed their own market test | Seumas Milne | Comment is free | The Guardian

Free-market dogma led to crisis | Toronto Star

Orthodox economists have failed their own market test

From any rational point of view, orthodox economics is in serious trouble. Its champions not only failed to foresee the greatest crash for 80 years, but insisted such crises were a thing of the past. More than that, some of its leading lights played a key role in designing the disastrous financial derivatives that helped trigger the meltdown in the first place.

Plenty were paid propagandists for the banks and hedge funds that tipped us off their speculative cliff. Acclaimed figures in a discipline that claims to be scientific hailed a "great moderation" of market volatility in the runup to an explosion of unprecedented volatility. Others, such as the Nobel prizewinner Robert Lucas, insisted that economics had solved the "central problem of depression prevention".

Any other profession that had proved so spectacularly wrong and caused such devastation would surely be in disgrace. You might even imagine the free-market economists who dominate our universities and advise governments and banks would be rethinking their theories and considering alternatives.

After all, the large majority of economists who predicted the crisisrejected the dominant neoclassical thinking: from Dean Baker and Steve Keen to Ann Pettifor, Paul Krugman and David Harvey. Whether Keynesians, post-Keynesians or Marxists, none accepted the neoliberal ideology that had held sway for 30 years; and all understood that, contrary to orthodoxy, deregulated markets don't tend towards equilibrium but deepen the economy's tendency to systemic crisis.

Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve and high priest of deregulation, at least had the honesty to admit his view of the world had been proved "not right". The same cannot be said for others. Eugene Fama, architect of the "efficient markets hypothesis" underpinning financial deregulation, concedes he doesn't know what "causes recessions" – but insists his theory has been vindicated anyway. Most mainstream economists have carried on as if nothing had happened.

Free-market dogma led to crisis

With the turmoil on Wall Street thanks to years of fun with laissez-faire, hands-off economics, and 19 people dead from a disease outbreak in the context of an inspection system that has been forfeited to the food industry itself due to purely ideological, experimental grounds, and a faith that somehow the "market" can solve our climate crisis, it is truly remarkable that poll numbers in both the United States and Canada show that over 40 per cent of the electorate (enough to form a majority government in Canada) in both countries supports more of the same.

News flash: free-market economics does not work, there is no way to run an economy without the hand of government, it is self defeating. Each time it has been attempted, the stock markets face one crisis after the next.

Nobody should be overly surprised by the latest fiasco in Washington. Whenever we have eight years of Republican rule, this seems to happen. Under Ronald Reagan in the '80s, we had the savings and loan scandal, followed by the October '87 stock meltdown, followed by a five-year recession. In the 1920s, three Republican presidents in a row led to the Great Depression.

My guess is Bush was hoping this whole thing would not collapse until after the election.
