The riots won’t help either. And if they are race riots, fuggetaboutit.

More ammo for Mitt’s campaign.

Why should he worry? It’s what he wants. The official numbers won’t show it. The media won’t report it. Anyway, it’s Bush’s fault, together with the refusal of those obstructionist Republicans to do what he tells them quickly enough. Yeah, sure, they rubber stamp all his deficits, but they don’t do it fast enough!

If the contrived unemployment hits 8.8% then the real number for unemployment is probably going to be a catastrophic 17.6% which these days is depression level.

Facts doen’t matter one iota. All the media is claiming that he’s a miracle worker, and all the Dems believe that. The media campaign pushing his re-election will continue to build strength, and come October the media will be telling us that unemployment is at 2%, Obama created 700,000,000 jobs, Obama single-handedly saved us from certain disaster/war/famine/depression/plague/aliens.

This would be a good year to just not spend and save all you can.

What, me worry?

Why should he worry. He'll just go onto American Idol, sing with Al Green and the world will be better.

Here's how I look at this (and please correct me if my thinking is flawed): In a $14.5 trillion economy, an extra trillion of borrowed money should manifest itself as a growth of roughly 6.8%. In other words, deficit spending should make growth appear to be be 6.8% higher than it would be naturally. I mean all those extra goods and services should show up somewhere, shouldn't they?

But we get is 2 - maybe 2.5%. And for this mediocre growth, we are handing a huge bill to our children and grandchildren. I think that the benefits have not been worth the costs. We would have been better off taking a hit, economically speaking, than allowing government to make 'investments' on our behalf.

Hog wash.

I see the unemployment numbers above 9.0 without a doubt. You will have$5 gas by the Summer months assuming no outside wars with Iran.

It seems like the only way the @sshat in chief is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat and win the election is if:

1. He’s running against Romney
2. He gets us into a conflict with Iran

I don’t want to read too much into this, but last week I went to my local gun shop for some target ammo and the inventory was down to perhaps 40% of what it usually is. The shelves were more than half empty. They were nearly out of most Remington and Winchester White Box ammo. Even in .22LR. I’ve never seen this before at this shop. Coincidence or are more people becoming Preppers?

Personally, I still do not believe our guys are campaigning against the right Democrat. i.e. I believe Obama is going to give his LBJ speech once the GOP has their candidate and has wasted time and money trying to "beat Obama".

Hillary is bring warmed up in the bull pen
