I thought you'd like that. But theoretically it's true.

 

You can draw a link from one President or political figure to just about any other.

 

Off the top of my head I can link Obama to Karl Marx and not just in their shared political ideaology. Marx led to Lenin, led to Stalin, led to the Red Scare of the 1950s, led to the rise of Nixon, led to Carter, led to Reagan, led to Bush I, led to Bush II, led to Obama

 

It's like playing 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon

The rich have been making loads of money since the low point in early 2009, isn't that what matters? ;)

 

thank QE for that- so, really thank the Federal Reserve.

 

Ironic since big government is allegedly the advoacte for the Main Street....

Ultimately, Main Street gets their money from Wall Street.

 

That's the one fact of the economy people don't understand.

Like?

 

 

Here are just a few off the top of my head. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

$19T debt

Even further diminished relations with many nations

An increased number of unemployed (not the published percentage number, the actual number of people looking for work)

Substantially more people on government assistance

A debacle of a health insurance solution

SS, Medicaid and medicare in worse fiscal shape

Millions more illegal immigrants in the country

Low consumer confidence

Low business confidence

Higher taxes

The lowest confidence in government ever

The lowest international respect for America ever

 

Anyone else, feel free to pile on.

Can you be specific? He doesn't deal in other people's generalities.

I think all sides can agree with that.

 

I don't. I hear this all the time that the middle class is getting !@#$ed. Well the middle class sure does drive a lot of nice cars, have a ton of toys/electronics and is generally comfortable. How are they getting !@#$ed exactly? I think it's the "rich" that are getting !@#$ed (thank you ACA). And before you go all "the rich can afford it" on me notice I put rich in parentheses.

I think you meant, He doesn't deal in reality.

You make a list like that and say I'm not dealing in reality? What? You in a race to the bottom with Chef for stupid champion? You list is completely idiotic.

A lame duck president being abandoned? No! Can't believe that. I forget how bad you guys are at history

 

Your second point sounds like something a drunk would say. What is your point?
