 And yet, Obowma fails to remember his racist pastors sermons of hate, his ties to Bill Ayers, Acorn, SEIU, union thugs, his grandma, his school records, Tony Rezko, loan scams, who wrote Obowma&#039;a autobiography, what he said yesterday...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In otherwords, these ivy league, elitists have no clue what they’re doing, and no idea how to fix anything&lt;/strong&gt;. Not even a burned out light bulb. Or, perhaps, fixing anything is not the plan. It’s much more enjoyable to a marxist to destroy anything, and everything,that reeks of freedom.

As Pol Pot wanted to destroy what Cambodia was, and restart at the year zero…perhaps that is what’s in store for us as well.

They follow Keynesian economics; the gov&#039;t spendith and taketh more away from those who earned it vs. Reaganonomics; keep what you earned and spend it how you want.

Results:

Keynes - lower revenue to gov&#039;t, higher unemployment.

Reaganonomics - HIGHER revenue to gov&#039;t,lower unemployment.

Cutting taxes worked for JFK, BJ Clinton, Reagan and GW Bush with record revenues to the feds each time and each time socialism has been invoked, higher unemployment and lower revenues every time FDR, Carter and now Obowma.</description>

Maybe somebody should check Hopey’s
math articulation school grades!!

After all,this is the best and brightest
Liberal that the Liberal Party picked as
their nominee!!Sarc).

I&#039;ll get right on that. We&#039;ll just have a look at the High School records conveniently available online. No, wait. That won&#039;t work.
I&#039;ll look at his course work from Occidental. No, no those aren&#039;t available.
Surely there were some modicum of classes in mathematics to meet the requirements for graduation from Harvard. I&#039;ll look at his records from Harvard. Whoa. Those aren&#039;t available either.
&#160;
Hey, has the &#039;Won&#039; ever graduated from anything, EVER?
What&#039;s going on here?</description>

		<description>A good catch, Ed, but I don&#039;t think it will rise to OOTW.  I&#039;m confident that Mr. Ojangles can dance up a much more impressive number this week.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We’re talking about a multitrillion-dollar economy that went through the worst economic crisis since 1933.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Am I remembering my history wrong, or didn&#039;t the stock market crash in 1929, and isn&#039;t that generally considered the year we associate with that particular economic crisis? Or is he trying to say that it&#039;s the worst economic crisis since &lt;em&gt;the continuation of&lt;/em&gt; the worst economic crisis?

And...was it a multitrillion-dollar economy in either of those two years?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama didn’t call accounting an inexact science.  He admitted that Porkulus accounting is a faith-based system.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh, ye of little faith.

Much humor, but little faith.

Good job!</description>

		<description>Maybe ObaMao should stop spending his waking hours talking to his economic team.  Both he and they support mau-mau, discredited economic philosophies that have historically proven to be damaging to any economy.

His job is not to &lt;em&gt;create&lt;/em&gt; jobs but to set policies that allow for the market to flourish, unencumbered by job-killing taxes and regulation.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The first measure of success of the economic recovery is, did we pull ourselves back from the brink? We did,” Obama said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unemployment has risen from below 8% to 10.2% under Obama. What concrete evidence do we have that &quot;we&quot; pulled ourselves back from the brink?

Until unemployment numbers start to DECREASE, we have none. 

And with all that new debt (and more to come if NancyBarackHarryCare and Crap-and-Raid pass), we&#039;re galloping toward a different brink!</description>

Ah-ha.. I believe, I see the problem.

Obama-san, thinks he can &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;talk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; the economy into recovery.

How about, we talk about increasing supply to meet demand?

How about we talk about increasing production fo meet consumption?

How about we get down to basics, and forget about &quot;science&quot;.. As exact or inexact as it may be, before we bankrupt the economy the same way he&#039;s bankrupting government.</description>

		<description>Exactly why this country is in trouble today. Too many people believe you can trust somebody in positions of power who have not been faithful in the little things of their lives.

chemman on November 23, 2009 at 9:35 AM

Yes. But the bare ass of truth is made self evident. The facade has fallen. Not only is Obama a naked failure, everyone knows it. That &quot;trust me&quot; has burned to and through the bone, and the public is reacting to the pain that Obama himself inflicts. Even his voting supporters are jumping off the Obamatanic. That Congress is last to figure out reality is nothing new. I repudiate what legislators trade as &quot;good for you&quot; snake oil sophistry, bought and paid for with our citizenship pounds of flesh. 

The old adage &quot;better you than me&quot; is biting Obama as hard as Obama is biting America. /&quot;Grandma, what big teeth you have!&quot;</description>

		<description>This is a president who wants to push the RESTART button or have a DO OVER every dam week. They screw up because everything they do and say is a facade. Everything. I&#039;m not going to be the least bit surprised if it comes out later that The One&#039;s marriage was just for show and that he&#039;s a raging homosexual. That&#039;s what his style of governance reminds me of... a total and complete facade.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t it funny that anyone with faith in God is an idiot to these people, yet they&#039;re applying faith to this man who has proven he&#039;s worthy of NOTHING of the sort and expect the rest of us to do so as well.

Funny how that is, eh?</description>

		<description>In otherwords, these ivy league, elitists have no clue what they&#039;re doing, and no idea how to fix anything. Not even a burned out light bulb. Or, perhaps, fixing anything is not the plan. It&#039;s much more enjoyable to a marxist to destroy anything, and everything,that reeks of freedom.

As Pol Pot wanted to destroy what Cambodia was, and restart at the year zero...perhaps that is what&#039;s in store for us as well.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The economy would roar upon election of a President and Congress that were committed to: savagely cutting back on the size of government; reducing corporate tax to zero (the profits would still be taxable as income in the hands of the owners, which could conceivably be withheld from dividends); bringing tax certainty (preferably accompanied by lower marginal tax rates) to individuals; eliminating capital gains tax; and dealing with the debt (a task made much easier by the increased government revenue that the other initiatives would create).

Were those things done, the economy would surge ahead, and unemployment would evaporate in a relatively short time.

But no, we’re going to get cap-and-tax, health prevention, amnesty for illegals, another bogus “stimulus”, sharply higher marginal tax rates, more corporate taxes and nationalization of industry, spiraling national debt, new unfunded liabilities and the ludicrously-named “Fairness Doctrine”.

And the unicorns will dance around the pots-o’-gold at the ends of all those rainbows, and lollypops will grow in the fields. Good times will rain upon us from the sky.

You obviously didn&#039;t attend an Ivy League school cause all them Czar&#039;s and appointee&#039;s that attended the &quot;all bucks no bang&quot; Ivy League didn&#039;t come up with your solution. While your solution is right on don&#039;t hold your breath waiting for its implementation.</description>

		<description>Barry has done squat to help the economy. 

The Porkulus money was and continues to be used to pay off his base and special interest groups to insure his re-election. If passed, the health care reform bill will be used to control every aspect of of lives by bureaucrats, NOT doctors. We will be literally taxed to death and beyond as our children and future generations will end up paying for the follies of this administration. 

Don&#039;t be fooled by the &quot;Jobs Summit&quot;.  It&#039;s yet another scheme to secure votes and make Barry look like he&#039;s sympathetic and really cares about sky rocketing unemployment.

His No. 1 Job?

&lt;strong&gt;Barry:  &quot;Nobody’s been more disappointed than I have to see how high my golf score has gotten. And I spend every waking hour, when I’m talking to my economic team, worrying about how I can lower it.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>The whole &quot;job creation&quot; thing is a canard.  If the jobs are not productive (in the sense of creating value that outweighs the cost), then they destroy value and are simply wealth redistribution:  Activity does not always imply progress.

While (publicly reported) corporate earnings may look good, I have a strong suspicion that these are being propped up by foreign-currency earnings, which are magnified, in US$ terms, by our depreciating dollar.

The economy is sick, and a big part of the malaise is concern that the government is hostile to wealth creation, and that it may get worse.  Basic finance teaches that uncertainty &lt;em&gt;has a real, dollar cost&lt;/em&gt;, and the current uncertainty is  causing businesses to discount, steeply (and perhaps implicitly), future cash flows to the extent that US-based investments can&#039;t pass muster.

The economy would roar upon election of a President and Congress that were committed to: savagely cutting back on the size of government; reducing corporate tax to zero (the profits would still be taxable as income in the hands of the owners, which could conceivably be withheld from dividends); bringing tax certainty (preferably accompanied by lower marginal tax rates) to individuals; eliminating capital gains tax; and dealing with the debt (a task made much easier by the increased government revenue that the other initiatives would create).

		<description>I&#039;m not an economics expert, but it seems to me, that the &quot;focus&quot; should be on Industrial Growth, not Job Growth.

And, I don&#039;t see One Policy of this administration, or this congress, that encourages, or promotes, Industrial Growth... Not ONE.

Fact is, everything being done is contrary to Industrial Growth.

At the rate we&#039;re going, China will overtake us as an industrial powerhouse, and relegate us to third world status.</description>

Exactly why this country is in trouble today. Too many people believe you can trust somebody in positions of power who have not been faithful in the little things of their lives.</description>
