In a lower division history midterm the Blue Book Question was this:

"Name a historical figure and determine, did history make the man, or did man make history. Illustrate your response with evidence to support your opinion."

I'm not doing your homework for you. Sorry.
The truth is Democratic policies enacted under Obama, at his urging, combined with actions of regulatory agencies, again at his direction,created a situation of slow growth and low participation in the workforce.

LOL, it was rhetorical in nature, Rabbi(t), and stating a Blue Book Midterm was homework is very insightful.

All of your posts are rhetorical in nature. That's a polte way of saying they're bullshit.
Ever hear of a take home exam?

Yep. They're similar to term papers, typed and not completed in a Blue Book. Apparently you have no idea what a blue book is, but now that you've goggled it I've once again provided info you never had before.

You're welcome.

And you're pathetic. Yes, take home exams sometimes came in a blue book. But it is irrelevant. Lke you.

LOL, you're a fool.

 

[Wry Catcher]

And he went and made it WORSE. Household income is worse today than when Bush left office. Wealth is worse today than when Bush left office. Workforce participation is worse than when Bush left office. Government dependence is worse today than when Bush left office.
WHat part of this do you not get?

The part I don't get is you. You're may be very dumb, completely & willfully ignorant or a partisan liar. Of course I'm convinced you are all of the above.

No, the part you dont get is "Democrat policies produce failure 100% of the time." Can you name a single social or economic policy pursued by Democrats that has succeeded?

Do your own homework. Post every Democratic policy which was a 100% failure!

I asked you to post one that was a success. You cant. Because they all failed.

Equal pay for equal work.

Cue the paid liberals who will flood this thread with skewed or made up stats, that prove somehow Obama "created jobs." They can lie but the real numbers won't.

Obama Has Lowest Average 1stQ GDP Growth of Any President on Record

Even if you leave out the first quarter of 2009—when the recession that started in December 2007 was still ongoing--President Barack Obama has presided over the lowest average first-quarter GDP growth of any president who has served since 1947, which is the earliest year for which the Bureau of Economic Analysis has calculated quarterly GDP growth.

In all first quarters since 1947, the real annual rate of growth of GDP has averaged 4.0 percent.

In the seven first quarters during Obama’s presidency, it has declined by an average of -0.43 percent. And if you leave out the first quarter of 2009 and look only at the first quarters of the six years since the recession ended, it has averaged only 0.4 percent

In the six years of Harry Truman’s presidency for which the BEA has calculated quarterly GDP, the annual rate of growth in GDP in the first quarter averaged 4.5 percent.

Blame It on Global Cooling Obama Has Lowest Average 1stQ GDP Growth of Any President on Record

It's hard to get around the real numbers. Liberals will trot out the usual explanations that it's really Bush's fault, or the Republicans fault.

But Republicans are not to blame for this mess.

Lie your way out of this liberals.

It means higher interest rates is what.

Nanny state to the max for the poor dumbasses in the US. They can't understand a budget and are hood winked often in mortgages.

And we wonder how Obama got elected?

Again, another stupid law that cost us responsible consumer to pay the price of losers. I knew socialism was coming fast with this one.

Good grief

-Geaux
------------

The sponsor of the Card Act, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), said that despite the rising rates, the law benefits consumers because it eliminates unwelcome surprises and provides them with a clear picture of the costs they will face. "Better that consumers should know up-front what the interest rate is, even if it's higher, than to be soaked on the back-end by tricks and hidden fees."

-Geaux

 

[Geaux4it]

As is typical the Obama/Pelosi/Reid answer to fixing problems is to punish the many for the sins of the few. Everyone is being punished by higher rates because "fees" have been limited and interest rate hikes must conform to new rules Congress has legislated. The legislation was sold to the American people as a way to limit excessive interest rates, but fails to meet the advertised hype.

You have wimped out of every challenge I've made to you. You are the one who cuts and runs. Now go and insult me some more.

Your ideological rants are an insult to normal discourse, and your anger permeates every post you make. Posting an emoticon in response to a long list of accomplishments is not a rebuttal; that you believe - or delude yourself - that it is, and should be respected as such, is callow.

My problem with you is two-fold. First, you look at the world with a single perspective: "how will/does this effect me"; next you are a bad-tempered, difficult, and cantankerous person who won't listen to others or evaluate their argument intellectually. Maybe you have the ability to do so, but are too lazy or too arrogant to bother with those you consider lesser.
