More people need to see: Obama is not stupid and inept; he is deliberate, and he is successful.

Most who voted for Obama in 2012 don’t care, as long as they get theirs.

Ole Jimmy was the second worst president ever. Zero holds down the top spot there.
Slick comes in at third turd.
As bad as Jimmah was he did at least practice what he preached. He didn't squander $$ like 0 does. Remember the sweaters he wore? The turning down the thermostat at the WH?
ZERO spends OUR money like its water. . . . . .

Recession is the wrong word
Financial Collapse is more Correct

BTW, when GDP / M2 drops < 1 it is game over for Capitalism

Well, that was what Rush was telling us in January, 2009. That is also the message of” 2016,” the documentary. He believes in a much less powerful America, an American Sweden but of course one without the sturdy Swedish common identity.

Fiscal cliff? What a cartoonish concept. It evokes some silly scenario where all will be saved at the last minute when yet another deal averts the whole Obama clown parade with their tattered “Its all Bush’s fault” banners from tumbling into the abyss. Well it ain’t that simple. Sixteen trillion in Federal debt growing by 3-4 billion per day as deficit spending continues, trillions more in state and municipal debts, huge unfunded entitlements, wholesale dollar printing and worse of all a bizarre anti capitalist EPA spewing daily regulations that kill entrepreneurship and the creation of wealth. Obama has America in a very bad state. Too sad to be sarcastic.

Is America Headed Into An Intentional Recession?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Obama is a fascist bent on the destruction of free America. Its quite simple.

Everyone should brief themselves by reading here:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

The nation is daydreaming and under the bludgeon of a continuous media campaign waged by the left ( Media, Politicians, progressives, educators , unions.) There is a disconnect from even the budgetary necessaities of government and its spending and borrowing.

The signal that Obama intends to destroy America is in his
insistance to have a unilateral unconstitutional control over the debt ceiling.Obama wants absolute appropriation power and complete authority over the power of the purse, a power relegated to Congress by the Constitution.

If we are to win, the GOP must now invest in and wage a counter propaganda campaign, and attack Obama for his ideology, and empower the conserbvative base of the GOP. Boehner is doing the opposite by conducting a silent purge of conservatives in the Senate and the House committees.He does so to secure his position as Speaker. The rumble is beginning and Boehner needs to leave and let a strong leader emerge.Jim DeMint’s exit is a sign which portends
horrible future suffering in America.

Obama is the enemy of The People, pushing them to make decisions based on emotion rather than the most fundamental logic.

Why is sucking money out of the private economy by cutting spending recessionary, but sucking money out of the private economy by government borrowing stimulative?

“Mah fellow Americans, inflayshun is ow-uh friend…”

FDR actually had MGM produce a propaganda film that made precisely that assertion.

It is a False Dichotomy
This why the GDP/Worth/Debt graphs are foreboding

Sorry, but Slick tops this list.

At least Obama got Bin Laden when he had the chance, something Clinton didn't do even though he could have with much less risk. Clinton's only saving grace was coming into office after the Cold War ended and being in office when the tech boom occurred. With a compliant MSM to give him credit for all of the jobs created by the tech boom and to keep our attention off of the numerous attacks from Bin Laden that occurred during his Presidency, he got to leave office with the legacy of "the peace and prosperity of the Clinton years" while punting the WOT and its cost to the next administration.

Take away the tech boom, add the cost of either the Cold War or the WOT, and Clintonomics doesn't look much better than Obamanomics.

It’s sad that Rush is not getting his wish, which is my wish as well, that Obama would fail.

To be more precise, as long as they get “yours”.

People will buy things they normally wouldn’t buy if they had to use their own money.

You see it every day in the grocery store.

People on the govt dole buying what people that provide their own way don’t buy.

That’s one reason food prices are skyrocketing.

Good morning.

If it hadn't been for the Fed buying U.S. debt, the stimulus in '09, and all of the other government spending, GDP would be negative.

In other words, we (the private sector) never got out of the 2007-08 recession.

So, as proved once again, you can't spend your way out of a recession, or debt.

Speaking of debt, the brain trust in DC forgot the first rule of holes, among other things.
