Obama’s Status Report on the Economy: Glimmers of Hope, But the Woods Are Still Thick

FASCIST
He is a Real Man trying to Clean up the Disasters Left by the Not so real Man its going to Take time Patience!

Obama and Liberals are under the impression that everyone that voted Democrat voted for Obama and them. In fact, it was more of a vote against Bush. Americans wanted something different and spending trillions and taxing people more for working harder, bowing before misogynistic kings and grovelling for brownie points from the very people our (not his)ancestors died protecting from themselves is not what we wanted. We wanted someone who would stand up with strong solutions to present the world as an American LEADER. Not an apologist weasel. Acorn will destroy themselves from within due to the liberal need for power and control. Oh and they break the law too.

President Obama has short-term and long-term plans. His criticizers lack these. His criticizers blame him for this inherited mess of 8 years. You, who criticize, step up to the plate, be constructive and support a president who is doing his best for everyone.

Its speeches like this one that have gained the people’s trust.
“In a new Public Strategies Inc./POLITICO national survey of 1,000 registered voters, Obama outdistances figures on both the left and the right in earning the public’s trust, with two-thirds of respondents saying they trust the president “to identify the right solutions to the problems we face as a nation.”
Of those who said they trust the president, 31 percent said they trust him “a great deal.” An additional 35 percent said they have “some” trust that Obama will find the correct solution. Thirty-one percent said they trust Obama either “not very much” or “not at all.”
Obama also ranked as one of the most credible voices on the economy, outdistanced only by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Four in five voters find Gates credible “as a source of information on the U.S. economy,” topping the 71 percent who said the same of the president. Investor Warren Buffett ranked third, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke finished fourth.

Thank God we have a real statesman in the White House. Great speech today!

The economic utopians see “glimmers” and other pretty lights. Run naked through the woods, copulate, and dance around the money tree. People need jobs to earn their own glimmer, not figments of someone elses imagination.

You call tax cuts to corporations welfare? I’m pretty sure there is a difference between taking someone’s money and providing it to someone else (welfare) vs. not taking as much money from a corporation in return for a positive impact on the economy in the form of job creation, increased taxable revenue, etc. etc. Welfare is giving to someone with no expectations of a return on that money. As for the Obama tax cut… kudos to him for providing even more tax breaks to the 40% of americans who dont pay any income tax in the first place..Is that really a tax cut? or Welfare?

I believe Obama came to us and to our
attention at just the right time and with Gods help and ours, we will pervale. What ever the problems we see
now, they were here when he arrived. JFH

When will we begin to hear the cry that by authorizing the slaughter of those three teenagers, Obama is just “creating more pirates?”
I’m waiting…

“You call tax cuts to corporations welfare? I’m pretty sure there is a difference between taking someone’s money and providing it to someone else (welfare) vs. not taking as much money from a corporation in return for a positive impact on the economy in the form of job creation, increased taxable revenue, etc. etc.”
Since we are told over and over again by right wingers that corporations do not pay taxes when they are raised but that they pass on those costs, it should be considered welfare to when you cut taxes they do not pay.

Obama just doesn’t understand that if he cuts taxes, people will spend more. He has this arrogant attitude that only the federal government should take money and spend it. This is the typical all powerful omnipotent thought process that permeates the white house. It is time to change the congress and stop this idiot before he does more damage to the country.

Man o,Man History is a ##### it comes back to haunt you. The critics of Mr.Obama, our legitimate President, can not escape the fact the he inherited this monstrous mess, the history of successive conservative and some liberal presidents that has brought the country to where it is today. Greed, injustice, and the fundamental premise of capitalism,(GRAB all you can,whenever you can, from anyone you can, does not work when your brother on the other side of the world is barely surviving. Many Americans and including The British are suddenly discovering that the world is one country and what goes around comes around.Brace yourself for more bad news.

Now the Democrats are just as blind as the Bush republicans were the last eight years. When will you folks take the blinders OFF and hold these criminals accountable for raping you? Oh well, Nevermind, American Idol is on and I gotta vote, at least there my vote WILL be counted!!! HAHAHA!!!

Think about this ACORN got Stimulus money so the taxpayers of America oh excuse me the United Socialist States of America. We are paying for this disruption. What we need is to vote those people out of office in 2010 so we can make good on the promise of America.
_____________________________________
The stimulus bill is on-line. Where in the bill is Acorn? (hint – it’s not)
What parts of Obama’s policies do you deem “socialist” and why?

Focus on the “glimmers” so you are all blindsided.The goal is to blot out the Constitution in an atmosphere of martial law.Chaos must be created for Supreme Court super rulings to meet the goal.

Oops, my last post should have said why are they NOT covering …

david | But so many rave about how intelligent Obama is (and I think he is)???

His job performance is a failure.

“Why is the Lame Stream Media covering the TEA Parties? They could get enough coverage of PROP 8; and how many people were effected by PROP 8 compared to the TEA Parties?”
Prop 8 directed affected people’s lives and the protests against them were attended a great deal better than the astroturf tea parties.

Barry does NOT want this recession to go away any time soon. He has certainly done everything he can to make this recession appear as dire as possible to further his socialist agenda.
He knows that the best way to institute socialist government control over the economy is to essentially kill capitalism, and with the WORST POST ELECTION DROP IN THE HISTORY OF THE STOCK MARKET, I would say he is off to a pretty good start to acheiving his goal.
This over-ambitous community organzier, who was responsible for FORCING banks in chicago to lower their lending standards, should be chased out of washington today along with the rest of the inmates who are now running the asylum- barney frank, nancy pelosi, chris dodd, harry reid, and chuck shcumer.

I wish Obama would just keep his mouth shut. His speaches are the reason the economy is taking so long to recover.

I did not bash President Bush–neither one. However, I became very disappointed, switching from the Republican to the Democratic Party. One question–how come many of you hide behind false or partial names? Shame on you boss Kimberly–whether or not you have followed through with firing those who supported President Obama, you have instilled fear in freedom of speech and vote, even on a bumper sticker. This is dictatorship, bending your employees’ wills to your own.

And so Obama is preaching to his constituents,the loonies who voted for him, the inexperience college kids, the illegals, the welfare leaches, the guilty feelings whites, the gays,socialists and the best of all of them ,the liberal media.The rest of us, the ones who worked our arses off and play by the rules know that he is taking this country to the lowest levels. His cabinet is full of Wall Street insiders, tax cheaters, grabbing our money and burning it like cheap paper.He has sold our children’s future to the Chinesse and continues to blame others , thanks to the media as a smoke screens for his shortcomings. I can’t wait for 2012.

Lipstick on a pig. 4 tillion of new debt only insures more things will be made where taxation costs are not as high. China is loving this. This kills industry and household income. Its not rocket science. Its not. All things being equal, nobody would build a house on an earthquake fault line. This is what we are doing.

The market is still down, retail sales are down, GM is still dying and your budget will leave the country broke. You can pedal that baloney to your cult but the rest of us know better.

“What parts of Obama’s policies do you deem ‘socialist’ and why?”
Just off the top of my head, here are a few:
–Forcing banks who do not want TARP money to take it anyway, then using that as a justification to dictate bank policy.
–Refusing to allow banks to repay TARP money, solely for the purpose of maintaingin government control of them.
–Directing the discharge and replacement of the CEO of an automaker.
–Taking money from the federal treasury and giving it to people who pay no federal income tax at all, and describing that practice as giving them “tax cuts.”
–Attempting to impose an enormous levy on businesses based upon their use of carbon.
–The health-care policy has not yet crystallized, but it will almost certainly involve at a minimum the forced purchase of insurance for government-provided care, to the great detrimient of the private health care system.

“–Forcing banks who do not want TARP money to take it anyway, then using that as a justification to dictate bank policy.”
Name a single examples where a bank was forced to take TARP money.
And leveraging themselves into oblivion does not count as being forced.
“–Refusing to allow banks to repay TARP money, solely for the purpose of maintaingin government control of them.”
What right wing noise is this?
From today’s NYT
If successful, Goldman would become the first major bank to return funds received under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. Such a step would probably enable Goldman — long one of the most lucrative places to work on Wall Street — to free itself from government-imposed restrictions on compensation.
“–Directing the discharge and replacement of the CEO of an automaker.”
The CEO was asked for his resignation, that part is true.
But where did you get that the government versus the board choose the COO to replace him?
“–Taking money from the federal treasury and giving it to people who pay no federal income tax at all, and describing that practice as giving them “tax cuts.”
So the only money in the federal treasury is income tax money and there is no other tax money in there?
I realize now the right wing has to lie or they would not have an argument.

I can’t take it anymore. I hate getting up in the morning, knowing that we are inching our way, day by day into doom, gloom and eternal hell on earth. This president has done more damage than terrorists. God help us all.

If this country were pure capitalist, there would be no social security, no medicare and no medicaid. Will you, in older age, have a heart operation, diabetes or Alzheimers on a retired fixed income with limited insurance? If you think that you are entitled to medicare, medicaid and social security, then you will be taking advantage of a “socialized” agenda.

“Name a single examples where a bank was forced to take TARP money.”
Signature Bank in New York is one, for openers. For the rest, you’ll have to do your own homework. And I’m sure you’re aware that Geithner is declining to accept repayment from others, thus maintaining his control.
“So the only money in the federal treasury is income tax money and there is no other tax money in there?”
Well, there’s the kind they simply print. But does any of this make a difference? If you give money from the treasury to people who pay no income tax in the first place, it is not honest to refer to the gift as a “tax cut.” Nor is it fair to the taxpayers from whom you have taken the money.

sandra. social security and medicare are the single biggest fiscal problem in our country. I know it sounds fuzzy and nice to take care of everyone, I for one am 29, and thinking of taking care of myself. leave my money alone. I will take care of my own medical needs. These social programs always have the best intentions… and then the obvious happens.

Ryan C – Thanks for answering Fascist for me. Work does call..
I think the National Secretary of the real Socialist Party in the US sums it up best by stating:
“Obama is as much a socialist as the Pope is an atheist”
David Schaich, Socialist Party Campaign Coordinator mocks the “right’s ignorance of Socialism” stating they “don’t care to learn” and use it as “an all-purpose term of derision”.
Schaich hit the nail on the head.

Ryan -
I am former military. That is exactly what they do.

“Name a single examples where a bank was forced to take TARP money.”
Signature Bank in New York is one, for openers. For the rest, you’ll have to do your own homework.
___________________________________
Yes, you should do your homework.
Signature Bank (& the other three who have since raised enough Capital to return the money) was given money out of the original TARP, under Bush and Paulson.

Ryan C- My best friend has done multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and they do screen the troops for a more biased crowd to their liking for press events.

Ryan, couldn’t live up to my challenge huh? How about this one… Is there anything you DON’T know. It seems every topic that you blog about you are a complete expert. Why don’t you run for POTUS? We wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Question: Isn’t it interesting that the President is now attempting to fix what he and his ACORN thugs contributed to, a “mortgage meltdown”, through their disgraceful Alinsky’s Rules tactics?
This administration and the Main Stream Media continue to go out of their way to have us believe that it was the Bush Administration, greedy banking institutions and irresponsible buyers that created our financial economic crisis. But was it or was it a “banking terrorist” tactic used by community organizers from the tools provided them under the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which were carried out by ACORN’s members, who were trained by the President to use Alinky’s Rules to bully banks into making bad loans, that likely contributed to the “mortgage meltdown” and triggered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?
“Food For Thought”
“God Bless Our USA”

“Ryan, couldn’t live up to my challenge huh?”
No idea what you are talking about.
You have 1 rambling post on this blog and its not addressed to me.
“How about this one… Is there anything you DON’T know.”
I do not know what happened to schrodinger’s cat.
“It seems every topic that you blog about you are a complete expert.”
Not at all but I read a great deal and since I am not parroting talking points I seem alot smarter than your right wing brethren.
“Why don’t you run for POTUS?”
1 more year till eligibility.
“We wouldn’t have to worry about anything.”
Oh I doubt that.
No matter the person in charge there will always be problems and crises.

Ryan, My challenge was for you to name one thing you disagree with in the democratic platform. I just don’t ubderstand how you or anyone on the right or left are so adamant about your views on policy. Go ahead, prove me wrong and disagree with Barry. By the way they seem to erase my posts so that is why you only saw my one “Rambling” post.

The dow is down today and up tommorrow, it means nothing, I tell you it will be 10,000 and over by the end of this year.

I guess that is the goal…not have a real conversation…but to just iritate.
_____________________________
Yes, stickman – when right wingers come on here and clearly can not think for themselves and post over and over the talking points from the hate twins, Limbaugh and Hannity – it gets old. This site seems to attract the extremist who are more interested in disparaging the President and spreading lies than talking real policy.
I think the Republicans should fear the Tea Parties as someone else posted. I think you are going to see a new Republican party start to form as a result and that will be good for America. The Republican party has been hijacked by the religious right and far right extremist. Hannity and Limbaugh are nothing but chewing gum for those extremist ears.

I have to go Paige, But can you not say the same for the left. You know how tired I am of reading “The last eight years of failed policies” or “He inherited” or “We went to Iraq for oil”? Same thing different view. I like Glen Beck. I think if you actually listened to, or watched his show you might not be so upset with him. I do understand the Hannity hate, he burns the left every chance he gets. Unlike Olberman, Mathews, or Maddow he atleast has another view point on… Kirsten Powers for example, and I don’t even listen to Rush. I would suggest that if you see a “talking point” beat it up, don’t mock where it came from. We chat again….Gotta run

MariaV,
Many corporations in fact do not pay taxes. Since its an abc link, maybe thel’ll let me post it:
abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=5561455

“US combat troops may stay in northern Iraq after a deadline for them to pull back by the end of June has passed, the top US commander in the area has said.”
Wait a minute–isn’t this insubordination? Obama set the deadline, didn’t he? Does this mean he didn’t really mean it, or is this general being mutinous? Who’s in charge here?

Is this really newsworthy? Who actually thinks Obama’s speech is comforting? This must be a continuation of the conspiracy to dumb down America. Only the ill-informed can find this somehow interesting.

Reform rules and regulations for Wall Street
Reform the education system
Harness renewable energy
Reform the health care system
Restore fiscal discipline
! Awesome ! How can even right wing nuts disagree with President Obama’s agenda?
Here’s how: For decades, the extreme Religious Right deemed income tax as “idolatry,” property tax “theft” and inheritance taxes simply not allowed in the Bible. Over the past 8 years they finally made inroads to build their version of a “Christian Nation.” Deregulation and tax cuts swept through America’s financial system, as if the free market’s “invisible hand” was the hand of God.
So of course, the Christian Taliban now objects to new Wall Street regulations and a return to earlier tax rates – these policies fly in the face of extreme religious beliefs, and jeopardize the ideals of a “Christian Nation”.
For decades, conservative talk shows have warned that evil “secular humanists” were taking control of public schools and universities, the news media, and the entertainment industry, with the aim of driving Christianity from American life and creating a “socialist” state. Sound familiar?
The Christian Taliban’s response has been to attack US national education (comparing it to Russian-style indoctrination camps) and challenge the teaching of Evolution. So of course these extremists now howl that taxes and spending on public schools are “fiscal child abuse”.
American voters, including disenfranchised moderate Republicans and centrist Christians, have clearly rejected these extremist attempts to break down the separation between Church and State.
We may not all agree on President Obama’s implementation, but the majority of Americans agree we want Wall Street reform. We want the best education for our children. We want to break free of our addiction to oil. We want affordable health care for every citizen. We want to build new jobs and restore fiscal discipline. And, we want these religious extremists OUT of our government.
