good job
Both Aspen Valley and Lady Jazzer are top of their game of making sh** up and pulling it out of their asses. Still going strong after all these years. They don't fool anyone around here... just makes for good sport. If they like looking like fools and liars... hey... no skin off our teeth.
So what exactly are you claiming I "made up", you of the Skin on His Teeth?

Pres. Obama is looking really two-faced, he attacks the 1 per cent'rs verbally, but does little else and is taking money from the very people he is supposed to be protecting the middle class from.
And for those of you who want to blame Congress, Reagan was able to get stuff done with a Dem Congress and Clinton/Gingrich deadlocked only once with a Republican Congress, but it seems like every other month the Obama's goverment is facing shutdown.
This is rich.
First you complain that just because it is "our guy" in office "lefties" are supposedly saying "all is good" about things like the headlines that were posted. (And it's funny, but I seemd to have I missed that, who in this thread did that?)
Then you go on to defend "your" Congress and absolve them of all blame for the situation IMMEDIATELY after complaining that people shouldn't be defending "their" President". Again, which nobody did.
Does a glimmer of your own hypocrisy ever, ever trickle through to what passes for thought in your head?
You misunderstood, I never said the Republican Congress wasn't partially to blame, but Reagan was able to work with a Democratic Congress and Clinton was able to work with a Republican Congress. Why does Obama just wash his hands and whines on his whistlestop tours of the country?

So you admit that goverment can do nothing to redress these wrongs you find in society? At least the Obama administration. They can't even get the millionaire tax increase passed when polls support it. More weak?
Obama, fundraiser in chief?
The President who voted "Present".

OK, Obama is the most brilliant, effective President the US has ever elected. :thumbsup:
Except he hasn't been able to turn around the economy.
He turned a landslide in 2008 to a slaughter in 2010, when he helpd to lose majorities in the House and lost a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
Frankly, America can't handle 5 more years of Barack, will unemployment be up to 15% by 2016?

If we get a Republican president or senate....yes
Sorry, I just don't believe it. Obama came in with huge coattails and totally blew it! The economy continues to stagnate and decline since he has been elected and this is after the biggest stimulus spending package ever. The country needs a change.

Actually if you look at the American history of economic crashes, most start climbing back after a couple years except in the case of the Obama recession and FDR's Great Depression which went on until WWII.
And I don't think Obama crashed the economy, capitalist economies have normal peaks and valleys, but I just think he doesn't have the experience or understands economics enough to fix it.
Think the President and goverment doesn't run the economy? The numbers would probably stagger you if you just look around and see how many people work directly for a local, state or federal goverment, and of the ones who don't, a large percentage of them have goverment as one of their big customers.
For example, I don't work for the goverment, but my company sells medical meters, so most of our customers are paid by the goverment, medicare, medicaid, VA, etc.
Affect the company sales? You better believe t, our capital good sales plummeted last year while the Feds were figuring out what would be the new payment structure for the clinics who buy our meters.
