The R's have been saying ever since O got in "when is he going to own the poor economy and the deficite?"

Things were so bad when he came in there is no formula to say "ok by this time he should have cured all the ills of the economy".

How many months or years is "enough" to have solved it?

There is no answer, and trying to fix it really fast would have been a bad idea.

We are experiencing slow but steady growth.

As far as mid term elections, can anybody name a president who did not lose seats in the house and senate during mid terms?

I can't.

Just remember that Bush needed two full terms to destroy the economy.

There's your little decrease in the deficit Larry.

Now for your other criteria, unemployment:

There's your little improvement in unemployment Larry.

Now you can feel all better and stop ranting.

LOL don't confuse Larry with facts.

In Larry's mind Obama = Bad.

Just view everything from that angle and what he posts makes sense.

Tom, it appears that you are ignoring the fact that the National debt is significantly out pacing the GDP. That does NOT represent economic net growth.

B.O. had complete control with democrat house and senate for two years and had all the chance in the world to put in place policies that could have launched our economy long ago. His choice, however, was to ignore the economy and put in place socialized medicine and socialized spending in the form of a stimulus package. I was saying on this forum in 2008, that the stimulus would NOT stimulate the private sector and it has not.

Unemployment since B.O. took office? UP! Deficit since B.O. took office? UP! Debt since B.O. took office? DRASTICALLY UP! If his policies were working, this is NOT what we would have seen. If he HAD cut the deficit in half like he promised even I would be voting for him.

There is a point where a person has to man up and admit when his policies are not working, rather than hang onto them and drive our Grandchildren even DEEPER into the crapper. A REAL man would do just that.

Doesn't look like any defense to me. B.O. said that he would cut the deficit in HALF! Your chart proves that not to be the case, so thanks for the research.

BTW, did you not see in your numbers that unemployment was at 5% when he took office? Also, have you noticed that what little improvement is represented in the debt? In other words, our Grandchildren will pay for it. Is that what YOU want to leave for your Grandkids?

You are clearly blinded by B.O.'s slick presentation and nice smile.

FIRST BOX OFFICE: Anti-Obama Movie #1

Quote:

FRIDAY 2 PM: The anti-Obama movie 2016 Obama’s America went into wider release around America today and is opening right now in first place at the domestic box office. That’s quite a feat since the Rocky Mountain Pictures political documentary is still playing in only 1,090 North American theaters – or about 1/3 as many theaters as big-budget actioner The Expendables 2 (3,355 theaters).

Landslide in November?

MTI · #53 08-24-2012, 07:26 PM

Let's see how it does over the next 48 hours.

I'm not blinded by anything, but apparently you are. The 5 percent number occurred in January of 2008 Larry. Look at the effing chart. Obama took office in January of 2009, with an unemployment of 7.8 percent. It is now within a half point of what it was when he was sworn in. I didn't quote any numbers about the debt. Only the deficit. Unemployment and the deficit, LITTLE improvements you called for in your post are what I spoke directly to. My point is proved, yours isn't. There are improvements in both.
I surely must have something better to do than waste my time trying to make a point with someone who
1. Cannot, apparently read a simple spreadsheet or doesn't know when the current president took office.
2. Is blinded by a suspect hatred that runs far deeper than numbers and has more to do with colors and names.
If it wasn't so much ****ing fun, I'd quit.

I'm not blinded by anything, I'm not a cool-aid drinking extremist so I view things on a purely factual bases.

You specifically said in your post you would be happy with slightly lower unemployment and slight lower national deficit.

Unless your disputing the numbers, they clearly show what I think would be defined as "slight" improvements.

So are you disputing the numbers? Or do you need to clarify your definition of "slightly"?

Hatterasguy · #56 08-24-2012, 10:29 PM

Larry I don't have a dog in this race because I don't support either political party. I would dance happily if the repubs and dems burned on a boat, so I couldn't care less which one does what.

But if your going to argue a point, don't ramble, do it with facts because without them your just blowing hot air into the wind and wasting your effort.

Oh and BTW the occupant of the oval office has little to do with the economy. The economy goes in cycles and getting into office at a high or low is just luck.

Hat,
I disagree with your last point about the scant effect that the occupant of the Oval Office has on the economy. I think he/she can have great effect--but sometimes there are over-riding factors. The economy does have cycles, like you say, but they are not in a vacuum. The President sets the tone for an administration--a tone that is either friendly to business expansion, or opposed to it, a tone that supports politically well-connected big business, or middle class start ups. The President sets the tone for enforcement of (sometimes ) arcane laws that can be used to stifle, or promote business' interests. The President sets the tone for the culture that is either positive and bright, or dismal and negative.
The President has a great effect on the economy.
Can he/she walk in a throw a switch on the wall, and immediately turn around the economy? No, of course not, but there are many ways the President is an important factor in how well the economy does.

So the Dem's would never harm the economy for political gain?

listen, you just don't get it elchivito. There are dozens of examples of fabricated evidence, lying MSM spokespersons, voter fraud, and we are missing the fact that Obama is about to create a nation state with him as Holy Kenmerican Emperor. Are you blind? The data you have posted is all a fraudulent shell game!

look at his plans for the new currency!
