Dear Comrade Kerry,
In February 2007, when the terrible, evil George W. Bush was president, there were 2,427,000 more jobs than there are today.
In February 2007, when the terrible, evil George W. Bush was president, there were 5,167,000 fewer unemployed.
There’s more money in the system, going to fewer people than ever before.
The average American can’t afford to buy a new car now. Thanks GM/Obama.
The average American is watching as home prices climb for rich Americans, but stagnate for everyone else.
Top tier homes are selling- and have been selling since Obama became pope- outpacing middle tier and lower tier homes.
The rest of us have to make due with home prices that equal those seen in 1894…That’s 1894…not, 1994.
“Whether real or manufactured by record-low foreclosures, bank supply withdrawals, and fed-subsidized cash REO-to-rent trades,” writes Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge, “the sad truth is that jobs (and the GDP-enhancing multiplier effect that they create) are just not coming. Even Bob Shiller prefers the potential for 4% gains in stocks over housing risk in the medium-term as he points out that - inflation-adjusted - house prices are back at levels first seen in 1894... now that is a long-term investor. “
And just because the Dow’s making new highs, you think everything is wonderful. What happened toOccupy Wall Street?
This is a system that was deliberately crafted by your buddy BHO.
Congrats Comrade Kerry!
You’re right: In America, you in particular, have a right to be stupid.

Dear Comrade Don,
Actually it doesn’t fit with the topic, nor is it correct. It’s not even funny.
The economy was lousy before sequestration. Sequestration is aimed at improving the economy even though the politicians would have you believe otherwise.
The only problem I have with sequestration is that it didn’t start a long time ago and it isn’t big enough.
As Mark Twain once observed of his misshapen theatrical production Ah Sin:
When this play was originally completed it was so long, and so wide and so deep--in places--and so comprehensive that it would have taken two weeks to play it…. [B]ut the manager said no, that wouldn't do; to play two weeks was sure to get us into trouble with the Government, because the Constitution of the United States says you sha'n't inflict cruel and unusual punishments. So he set to work to cut it down….I never saw a play improve as this one did. The more he cut out of it the better it got right along. He cut out, and cut out, and cut out; and I do believe this would be one of the best plays in the world to-day if his strength had held out, and he could have gone on and cut out the rest of it.
If Congress just had just half of the strength of that theater manager, I’d feel less cruel and unusual toward the government.
Half of sequester is aimed at money that is an increase in spending over what we are spending today rather than true cuts.
As Larry Kudlow explains:
Good thing we’ve turned the corner finally. LOLOLOLOL! Sure we have. Thanks “lyin’ king”, for making our world a better place. NOT! Enjoy your trip to sud afreaka and then on to your luxury vaca in Hawaii. Don’t forget to send us all post cards. Hmmmm. Let’s see. Mandela ended up living in the lap of luxury and was a commie. The “lyin’ king” is livin’ in the lap of luxury.............. Nah, nothing similar at all.
The facts make no difference to communists.
The evil GW Bush painted a portrait of Jay Leno and presented it to him as a gift on the Tonight Show. How dare he. ):
That happened at the end of 2008, after Obama had been elected and business people realized what a rough road they were in for so they shut a lot of things and plans down.
Obama keeps blaming Congress for his failings. But who controlled Congress in 2008? It was Pelosi and Reid, Democrats, that's who.
I am so sick of this 750,000 jobs lost BS. But I don't understand why the Republicans don't speak up for themselves.
” then finished by losing 800,000 jobs per month”
Thats 750 thousand, not 800. And thats one month. One. Not “per month”, plural. And tgat was his last month in office.
Dont ket these lying liberals get away with little lies like thatm

Yeah President Bush might have been still in office, but who had the majority in the House and the Senate? You got it, it was the rats. And if you remember there was nothing wrong with the economy when the Republicans held the majority. As a matter the economy was thriving and unemployment was practically nonexistent.
They are like abused wives or girlfriends. They just cower and take it from the bully. They done it so long it is a habit. Besides, they don't have the courage to stand up to him and they think what he's saying is perhaps true - this abuse is their fault!
I view MSM sources to try to understand why Osama has any approval at all. On NBC, he stated that so-many-hundred-thousand jobs were created and that the deficit is steadily shrinking. I look at my own community and see businesses folding or leaving. How do you correct perception when the libs portray unfavorable numbers as lies based in racism? Perhaps the ACA will raise the collective consciousness. If our national situation culminates in the realization of the Cloward and Piven goals, how do you pick up the pieces and get a workable model again? The more I read, the more confusing it gets.
And those losses were the result of policies put in place after the RATs took over congress in '07, combined with Obama's promises of "fundamental transformation".
