2012 will be a "Lemming race". If the GOP wins the taxes and entitlements get cut, and if the dems win its Obamacare and gridlock with a GOP Congress. Either way we're toast

We're toast if taxes and entitlements get cut? Hmm...

1. I should have said the GOP would try to cut entitlements. The dems would demagogue that and block entitlement cuts. Cutting taxes means that the Debt explodes, and we're toast.

2. If the dems win the next 4 years will be like the last 4. The Debt explodes, and we;re toast.

O-FAIL takes all of the world's instability, hysteria, deficit spending, money printing, fears of energy disruption, terrorism and war -- and encapsulates them into a single, easy-to-understand number.

The higher O-FAIL gets, the worse things are around the world. Check out the O-FAIL index. You can see that over the past couple of years, immediately after the election of Barack Obama, it began going parabolic.

It's official- We're in the midst of Jimmy Carter's second term

Our debt hit 15 trillion the other day.. 15 trillion..

What a waste of money

Of course, if one reviews the whole CBO report it does say

The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday downgraded its estimate of the benefits of President Obama’s 2009 stimulus package, saying it may have sustained as few as 700,000 jobs at its peak last year and that over the long run it will actually be a net drag on the economy.

CBO said that while the Recovery Act boosted the economy in the short run, the extra debt that the stimulus piled up “crowds out” private investment and “will reduce output slightly in the long run — by between 0 and 0.2 percent after 2016.”

The agency also has changed its model for the spending’s impact on the economy, and the new calculations show the Recovery Act did less than originally projected.


What a surprise

another failed Papa Obama pet project that did not live up to expectations

$250,000 per job created (excluding the interest expense) and $312,500 per union job, er job created
(so that's how much it cost to purchase votes today)
What a bargain - what fine example of "Keynesian efficiency"
What is the avg wage in the US around $42,000 ?, probably a little more than you make ...

I can see it now- the new liberal cry!
Give us 5 times the cost of the avg job and we can make 1

To be fair, it is better than his "green job" cost
With $17.2 billion spent on these programs, the cost per actual job created, so far 3545 jobs, comes to $4.853 million per job
(not counting the interest)
Notice Even with Papa Obama’s initial false promise of 65,000 jobs created that would still come to $593,846 per job



Really, only left wing apologists for Papa Obama could take this as a positive

Quoting for truth. The idiots on this site, like Chris, constantly trot out the CBO showing how many jobs the stimulus saved or created. Now that number is negligible. The whole thing a joke. On us.

 

[Neotrotsky]

When one looks at the cost for each job
it is a joke

We would have been better off and it probably would have worked
better if they just dropped that money over the streets for people to pick up

 

[Avatar4321]

you think these poll numbers mean anything? seriously?

The polls dont mean jack squat.

Obama could win. Obama could lose. The future isn't written yet. If you are relying on polls instead of getting off your ass and working your butt off to make this country better, then you deserve Obama.

 

[Neotrotsky]

True enough

the only poll that counts is election day

But berating the enemy
is all part of the game

Papa Obama’s approval rating officially dropped below Jimmy Carter this week.


US News and World Report:

President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.

Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent…

…What’s more, Gallup finds that Obama’s overall job approval rating so far has averaged 49 percent. Only three former presidents have had a worse average rating at this stage: Carter, Ford, and Harry S. Truman. Only Truman won re-election in an anti-Congress campaign that Obama’s team is using as a model.​

He needs to start preparing his concession speech.
Perhaps he can seek some assistance from John Kerry.

I'm guessing Gore would be better to get advice from because these arrogant pricks won't concede until visiting every court in the land to cry about something either.

So true

when he loses, just wait for all the left theories on fixed
elections, bad voting machines too funny

 

[Cowman]

Gonna make you feel extra terrible when he gets reelected, isn't it?

 

[Neotrotsky]

You mean "if"

it would be a great disappointment
and a great disservice to our republic

 

[Cowman]

I can understand the disappointment, since you don't side with Obama politically... but not at all a disservice. He's no different than past presidents. Just another dude in power who does just some of what he promised and elicits negative reactions from his opponents.

 

[kaz]

He should but he won't. He'll go the Gore route of insisting the people's vote is Unconstitutional and the courts should appoint him.

House prices need to go down, we're artificially supporting them as it is currently. If these prices were dictated by a free market they would've went down after the housing market crash.
