Uhm, cause you do with Bush. You don't want to count the first 3 years of his presidency or the last year (cause that was bad year) and you only want to focus on the few good years. Why not extend that courtesy to Obama?Based on performance to date, why should I cut him any slack?
I'll tell you the truth, if I thought he was really willing to compromise with the GOP, I might cut him some slack. But he's never been willing to change what he wants
Holy. Shit.
Seriously, you need to watch news that is NOT Fox News.
I look at Bush43's record and see that he had to deal with the dot.com recession as he entered office, nowhere near as bad as what Obama inherited but it wasn't a bowl of cherries either. Then he had to deal with 9/11, which was no little thing. He kept us safe and he went after the pricks that were responsible, and he managed to spur the economy into a good 5 year growth until the credit and housing bubbles collapsed.
His fault? No more than the rest of the pols on both sides over the past 20 years prior. Say what you want, he made his share of mistakes by not paying for 2 wars and the drug prescription program.
But there ain't nothing I can point to that Obama did that was good, other than the killing of OBL. Good call, credit due, but it's not like he didn't have the benefit of intelligence gathered before he got into the WH, AND he might not have ever gathered that intel after he went after the CIA for doing EITs.
His decisions for improving the economy sucked, no other way to say it. Yeah it was a bad situation but he didn't improve it. He hasn't done anything to pull us out of the hole we're in, and don't blame the repubs either. He had 2 years before the GOP took over the House and he squandered it on ObamaCare and Dodd/Frank, never of which are helping to create jobs and may in fact be hurting job creation.
So - your guy has truly sucked in his job performance so far, he and Jimmy Carter rank as the worst all time presidents to me.
And BTW, maybe you should get away from MSNBC, those guys are really pathetic.
Dumb shit, I work in the banking industry.....one of the heaviest regulated businesses in the nation. Banks were forced to do mortgage lending against their better judgement by the government. You need to quit watching MSNBC and educate yourself if you don't want to be laughed off the board. Isn't junior high starting soon?
Federal Regulations Helped Spawn Mortgage Crisis
Affordable Housing, Diversity Mandates Caused Mortgage Crisis
Being a teller don't count as working in the banking industry.
All I need to see is your right wing propaganda website that you are using to "prove" your point. Stop watching FOX and drinking the Tea Party Koolaid. I don't understand HOW you people can be so critical of everything.... except your own side. Nooooo... an organization like OPENMARKET.ORG wouldn't be biased... not at all. I'll tell you what.. I'll go to Huffpo and expect you to take it as gospel.
At least my article on Glass/Steagal was from an unbiased source.
Didn't you deride someone earlier for using "talking points"? Wow!
They're not talking points because I didn't get it from another source. I've actually read about the causes of the financial meltdown.
That reminds me that I left out (at least) one of the culprits. It is the bankers who turned their backs on their responsiblity to perform due diligence regarding verifying the incomes of anyone applying for a home loan. But no, they were too busy worrying that if they didn't make the loans, some other bank would.
And, of course, they didn't hold on to the risky paper they wrote. They dumped it on the secondary market.

Funny...you guys don't mind calling us out when we post something from a site you don't like. How typical and telling that all you have to offer is a smiley face flipping me off.

Excuse me steelplate...I can not let this go without a response. The banks were absolutely urged by the federal government to show more equality as it pertained to their lending practices...not a race issue...but a community issue....and yes, race had a lot to do with it.
And the urging was not a simple "please do it"...it was more of a "do it or we will cite you for discrimination"....
As a settlement attorney (represents the lenders)....my wife watned me that the whole thing is going to collapse on us...she saw it over 8 years ago. She saw the applicatoions..the incomes.....the approvals......she saw the federal grants......and she knew it was coming.
Yet Barney Frank, despite being warned, didnt.
That is the part I dont understand.

Once again...the Glass/Steagal repeal that allowed the selling and reselling of derivatives and Subprime mortgages did more than any thing Freddie or Fannie did. It was profiteering and greed that collapsed the Banking sector. I am not saying that you don't have a point at all... just that you are trying to blame everything on one aspect and turn a blind eye towards the major contributors.
I can't believe that he hasn't released the details of his plan to the public. If he really had a legit plan wouldn't he want it known now so the public has time to put pressure on their congressmen while they are home visiting the people they represent?
On the contrary, I don't think his plan is anything more than stimulus and taxes. Neither of which will work any better than his last failed stimulus. This man is completely clueless.

Obama is no different, so the answer is no. He has no plan other than Spending money.

And you think another round of stimulus is not a plan?

Govt jobs a lot of times are a complete waste of our tax dollars. Here where I live they are repaving all the streets in our neighborhood. Thing is, there was nothing wrong with them to begin with. Likewise, they are digging up perfectly good sidewalks just to widen them.
There is a tremendous amount of waste in so called govt jobs.
That would be a real way to cut spending.
Get rid of waste and fraud. Incorporate proper audits.
Should the government stop all spending?
