18 Reasons Why Obama Must Go...

    18 Economic Facts Foil Obama's Fantasy | CatchKevin.com

    Barack Obama in bold and brazen fashion is claiming the US economy has improved since his inauguration. I hate to foil his fantasy, but the president needs to

  • If those are all accurate statistics then that is mindblowing, absolutely staggering.

    The question is, how much longer will all of this be blamed on a president whose been out of office for 4 years now? Did GW put us in a mess? Yes. Did Obama inherit a mess? No question. Has he improved anything? This link gives a resounding HELL NO.

    Wow.

    The source matters when it's coming from a right wing blog and it's not the truth. If you think any of that is 100% true you need to learn some more. The problem with this whole process is that there is no fact checking filter. Just straight from partisan bloggers/sitesradio dj's/slanted news channels to the eyes and minds of unthinking partisan morons.

    The information can be factually accurate, but still slanted. Is it any surprise that there are more long-term unemployed four years into a recession than there were at 6 months?

    Some of the editorial comment shows a higher ignorance level. Higher US levels of debt is not a contributing factor to our economic situation. It's not hurting us--it could hurt us; it may hurt us down the road, but to cite that as a reason the economy has not rebounded shows an absolute failure to understand economics.

    The real question is who is best positioned to lead the economy going forward. Is it Obama who will continue, probably, by keeping government spending loose enough so that the economy will eventually approach escape velocity, will it be Romney-A, the pragmatic conservative who'll do pretty much the same, or will it be Romney-B, the iconoclast conservative who'll drastically cut spending.

    Nobody knows (including him, I expect) which Romney will show up if he wins. And please bear in mind, as much as you may be in love with downsizing government and reducing taxes--if you think that's the right thing to do regardless of all else, please remember that such action will hamper (and perhaps devastate, depending on degree) the economic recovery.

    Instead of trying to grade Obama on the numbers, why not grade him on a curve? What other world leader (of a big country) has guided his or her country to better numbers and better economic prospects over the last three years. Who would you trade performances with?

    Once again you let your own bigotry toward the right narrow your eyes. Now some of that may or may not be the truth but you refuse to see anything that comes from the right, which was my point. Most know I lean toward conservative values but if a liberal has a good idea I agree with it. For example I think the rich should pay a higher tax rate than someone making less. If that is to come to fruition though, the rich should not continue to pay 70% of all the taxes. I agree I need to learn more, that is what life is about. I dont claim to "know everything" unfortunately that is the case with many, many others.

    Fact check: The wealthy already pay more tax – USATODAY.com

    President Obama says he wants to make sure millionaires are taxed at higher rates than their secretaries. The data say they already are.

    If they just taxed the same percentage of everyone, your gola would be met.

    Guy making 100,000 gets tax 10% and pays 10,000
    Guy making 10,000 gets taxed 10% and pays 1,000.

    Obviously 10% was just thrown out there for examples sake.

    Hate the cry that the rich dont pay as much taxes...even if said 100,000 guy paid only 1%, he would still be paying as much as the 10,000 guy at 10%...but I dont agree that that should be the case, just think it is ignorant when people say the rich dont pay as much taxes.

    People don't say that. People say that some rich people pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes because capital gains and dividends are taxed flatly and at significantly lower levels than earned income.

    Poor people pay the same capital gains rate as rich people, but as it turns out, most poor people don't own much stock.

    I trust you are including the likes of Ed Shultz, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbernmann, and Lawrence O'Donnell in your broad brush generalization of right wing truth providers.

  • The question for me is with all of this is this just Obama's pathetic excuse for a President self at work or is there something bigger going on here. What will these numbers look like with another 4 years of Obama? And how can we even be considering re-electing this guy in this country?

    Obama will do anything to get elected which he proved today by his stance on aliens and I don't mean the kind at Area 51.

  • Barry is, BY FAR, the absolute, most corrupt POTUS of ALL time. PERIOD.

    Obama has done more for "illegal" aliens, than he's done for "Legal" African Americans. PERIOD.

    Obama has done more for Mexico, than he's done for America. PERIOD.

    Obama hates America! PERIOD.

    Obama SUCKS! PERIOD.

    Barry is pathetic... but those who are still willing vote for that piece of dung, are even MORE pathetic. PERIOD.

    Yes, liberal media types have said things like I was saying. I know they know the actuality of the situation, but they misrepresent what is going on to hook uneducated or gullible viewers.

  • Did good God fearing Americans know something when 1) he was a Chicago politician which means he is a criminal, and 2) his name BARACK OBAMA.

    Through the ages Americans have sleepwalked through hard times. Bush leaves and the Americans would have elected Howdy Doody but instead BARAK OBAMA.

    My mother who is a life long Democrat, the Rosy saved us in the depression kind, and even she at 89 was not hoodwinked by that fraud.

    If he is relected you all can come live with me here in Taiwan were the women are beautiful, the food is cheap, and health care for a family of 4 costs 20.00 us dollars a month.

    Hot as many disagreements as we have had, if I could watch football, baseball, and UK then, I might join you. Of course there is no way in HELL my wife moves to an Asian country. She has heard too many of my stories of Thailand.
