Obama Is Looking Like America's Job-Killer-in-Chief (by Peter Schiff, Forbes)
Forbes ^ | Sept. 2, 2011 | Peter Schiff

Posted on 09/04/2011 12:56:32 PM PDT by Clairity

Friday morning, many on Wall Street were stunned by the big fat zero put up by the August jobs report, the worst showing in 11 months. The data convinced many previously optimistic economists that the United States will slip back into recession.

As President Obama prepares to unveil a new plan for the Federal Government to create jobs, evidence is rapidly piling up on how his administration is actively destroying jobs with stunning efficiency. Recent examples of this trend are enough to make anyone with even a casual respect for America's former economic prowess hang their head in disgust.

So as we wait with eager anticipation as to what the president may reveal in his jobs speech next week, you can be sure that it's not going to help America regain its competitive edge. The sooner we regard the government as a job killer rather than a job creator, the sooner we can all get back to work.

He is changing the U.S. into a Third World country, according to the plan of those who leveraged influence to get the Trojan Horse into the White House. That’s the change Marxists believe in.

Peter Schiff is no economic genius, and I caught him and his election campaigners breaking election laws in 2010.

Peter Schiff is a huge phony, he ran as Ron Paul’s economic advisor in 2008, ran for the CT Senate in 2010, he is a hug Libertarian, that means eh is supported by CODE PINK and the traitor ADAM KOKESH

We also caught him on video bragging all his investments are in overseas banks and companies and that he has ZERO money invested in America

talk about betting against your country!

I see comments on here alot painting Libertarians with the same “Paultard” brush. I would consider myself to be at least 50% Libertarian just for the simple fact that the GOP is a little too warm and fuzzy for me.

Paul does not speak for all Libertarians. I agree with most of his economic policies. But when it comes to foreign policy, he is crazier than a rat in a tin sh-t house! We can’t bury our heads in the sand and hope that the bad guys will leave us alone.

Just as not all Republicans have the same views, neither do all Libertarians. I am a Pro-Life, Hawkish, Libertarian. I believe in as much freedom as possible without anarchy! The smaller the government is, the better it is for all.

A stopped clock is better than any democrat, but SCHIFF is just as liberal on all social policies as any deomcrat

Peter Schiff is NO ECONOMIC GENIUS as he claims, and many of his predictions are totally bogus!

http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2009/01/peter-schiff-was-wrong.html ,
“ For one, Mike Shedlock of Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis gave an incredibly detailed review of Schiff’s track record in an article titled, “Peter Schiff was Wrong.” To get a little flavor of the piece, here is an excerpt:

12 Ways Schiff Was Wrong in 2008

•Wrong about hyperinflation
•Wrong about the dollar
•Wrong about commodities except for gold
•Wrong about foreign currencies except for the Yen
•Wrong about foreign equities
•Wrong in timing
•Wrong in risk management
•Wrong in buy and hold thesis
•Wrong on decoupling
•Wrong on China
•Wrong on US treasuries
•Wrong on interest rates, both foreign and domestic”


http://investingcaffeine.com/2009/09/07/the-emperor-schiff-has-no-clothes/


http://seekingalpha.com/article/106824-being-wrong-for-five-years-makes-peter-schiff-right-now

” Now, had you listened to Peter in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or even 3/4 of 2007, you lost your shirt. Had you placed bets based on Schiff’s market calls, you lost everything you wagered.

The S&P (.INX) went from 1054 in May of 2002 (the date of the interview) to 1561 in Oct. 2007, a 48% gain and the Dow (.DJI) rose 40%.

Banking stocks, the primary victim of the housing bust, went up (JP Morgan (JPM) 36%, Bank of America (BAC) 41%, Wells Fargo (WFC) 39% , Wachovia (WB) 31% and American Express (AXP) 51%) during that time frame (dividends excluded which would dramatically add to results). “”


SCHIFF invests in America’s economic competitors ONLY
NOT A DIME in the USA
how is that smart??

ECON 101
When you invest in the firm that is the economic competitor to your own family, and your family does poorly, and their competitor does well, and you KEEP investing in your family’s competitor, YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR FAMILY OUT OF WORK!

Schiff doesn’t invest a SINGLE PENNY in AMERICA!!!

pro-immigration and said that there are too many jobs in the US we NEED to let in immigrants???

Peter Schiff admits on camera that he has ZERO money investigated in American corporations or industry. If Peter Schiff refuses to invest in American companies, how can Peter Schiff say he is helping Americans keep their jobs?

This is SCHIFF in his own words!

Big info dump. Thank you. I remember some of your input during the CT primaries but I admit, I was thinking, 'anything but Malloy' and didn't get too involved with details. I see you have dedicated much time. Maybe we know each other. I frequented the Big Y rallies in Tolland.

I find the majority of CT Tea Partiers have been educated almost entirely by watching Glenn Beck. It’s good they are involved, but it creates some limited perspective and I never got the sense most really understood why they were there apart from the emotional libertarian issues.. which are readily understood by anyone weary of authority.
