By the way, did he become an expert on economic matters at Disc Jockey Morning Drive Training School?

Were I you, I'd worry more about the two nut jobs running away with the Republican race.

I live in reality; I see firsthand how businesses are struggling as marxist policies are heaped upon a capitalist economy, and I see the devastation in employment, falling real wages, and general malaise that is driving us down. And now you can add $70,000 in additional household debt in just 8 years which is another crushing blow to real life Americans. And yes, it is criminal; it is theft of the highest order and will forever damage what is left of the middle class. All this from a radical community activist who said he was on the side of Main St., not Wall St. Well guess what; the exact opposite has occurred, just like it always does with liberalism.


OWN IT.

Dr Winston O'Boogie;1778463 wrote:I own it, as you say. And I was teasing you about Glen Beck - although I suspect you listen to like minded guys. I think Obama's presidency has been a success. He helped guide us through the worst recssion in my lifetime; he made a great first step in addressing the medical insurance racket in this country; he took us out of the worst foreign policy / war debacle in decades (Iraq);etc. I know he's not been perfect, but I'll take him. Our debt as a percentage of GDP is acceptable.

Republicans are just as scared as Democrats to cut spending.

1. Most economists have shown that when bouncing back from a recession we would typically grow at a much faster rate than we currently are. One could say that the current policies have stifled this growth. We are currently not growing at all. So, we are believed to be heading into another recession. Not exactly stellar navigation of the economy.
2. The first step in addressing the medical insurance racket has caused more problems than existed before (yes, opinion) and the costs have kept rising at similar rates (the promise of a savings was WAY off) and it is heading us to a single payer which in most countries has extremely lowered the quality of care.
3. He took us out of Iraq, you are correct. However, the quick vacuum left there created ISIS...not exactly the best removal. I wanted us to never go into Iraq either, but once in there the biggest mistake possible would be to just quickly pull out. The vacuum most definitely created the debacle that is ISIS/Syria/Iraq now.


So, how are his policies really working for us now?

but Obama doesn't want to work for a living, which he'd have to do as SCOTUS. Nope, he wants to cash checks, go on talkshows and mug for the cameras
