President Obama on Job Numbers: ‘We Are Turning the Corner’

Things are very shaky still.. but yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. hopefully it isn’t the train.

Short answer?
Yes but mainly in state governments where the stimulus money putoff state worker layoffs like teachers, firemen, police officers and the like.
Even though the private sector grants have mostly run out I would bet that small business would spend that money on system updates/upgrades and streamlining rather than on making payroll.

“Either you believe in Democracy and the free enterprise system – or you believe in Socialism.”
Apparently you don’t believe in Democracy as Obama was voted into office campaigning on exactly what he is doing right now.

“Current discouraged or under-employed – 16.8%”
Love the U6 measurement as it is a better metric of our unemployment versus the U3 that most of us are familiar with.
Curiously the U6 numbers was not cited by right wing media until it became a convenient talking point for the right wing.
I hope you will continue to use it years from now.
“Additionally at that level of 162,000 jobs created a month, not counting new workers it would take about 51 months to make up for the 8.25 million jobs that we lost in the recession.”
Exactly.
Its a start, not a finish.
So do you really think the economy would righted itself almost immediately after driving itself off a cliff without government intervention?

Oh good we’ve turned a corner.
One more corner and Obama will be able to justify raising our taxes.
He needs spending money.

“No bragging about the 16K IRS workers Obama will hire to police our health care”
Probably because the GOP made that number up and offered up many caveats to its accuracy.
The GOP then count on their propaganda arm of FoxNews to just blare the headline to the gullible base who dutifully parrot it.
Its the Circle of Lie.

“Lastly through “bail-out” monies or “stimiulus” funds given to large corporations, either as direct grants or low interest loans, we have removed their incentive to limit risk because they are not making business decisions with their own, or their shareholders funds, but rather the governments, who has shown in the past to be unwilling to let companies fail.”
Interesting.
So do you agree with the recent restructuring of student loans?

I do, but I would rather that it was handled in a seperate bill as a stand-alone measure. The…64 billion was it, that it will save it the budget is well worth it, however considering the savings I don’t see why it was thrown into the reconcilliation measure.
I personally am against ALL private sector subsidies. ALL of them. Oil company subsidies all the way through the loan guarantees for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
I believe that the only role for the Federal government in the private sector should be as a regulator and an entity that hires private contractors for short term labor contracts, bridge and road construction and the like.

“While I appreaciate Ryan C’s fact based comments pointing out the more pertinent fact that actual unemployment rates (the U-6 Unemployment Rate)actually went UP to 16.9%, facts are insufficient to counter the fawning of the press over Obama’s duplicity.”
Yup
Seasonally adjusted U6 went from 16.8 to 16.9.

Our “turning the corner” will end up taking us around in circles if we dont cease the hard left turns.

“48,000 temporary workers for the decennial census”
Will they be counted as jobs lost after the census?

Maybe they could mount solar cells on all exterior surfaces and a little windmill on top… and Mr. Obama could wear a beanie with a little propeller on top. That would solve the problem….
Seriously… think about a jet airliner… how are you going to power that with alternative energy. How about an ocean liner? How about an oil tanker? How about a tractor trailer truck on a cross country trip?
Drill here, drill now, develop nuclear power.

Funny how conservatives disagree with liberals on the basis of policy differences, but liberals like Ryan_C “disagree” with conservatives because, like Ryan_C, they attribute absurd motivations to conservatives, such as that they “hate fact that our economy (and the economic situation of fellow Americans) may be improving.”

Sounds a lot like ‘mission accomplished’ over and over and over . . .

______________________________________
Only if you’re ill-informed enough not to know there was an almost complete free-fall collapse of the economy . . . that had to be stabilized – not with magic – but with policies that would work over time.
Step one – slow the collapse; step two – hope to stablilize things so there is no back-sliding, step three – try to move things slowly forward and avoid a back slide.
The collapse was stabilized (perhaps – we’re not out of the dark yet), now we’re working on moving forward. Economists are starting to say there has been a corner turned.
Of course, if you’re anti-Obama . .. you wouldn’t understand any of this.

Our economic situation is NOT improving.
_______________________________________
Nonsense. Stock market is up since Obama was elected, GDP is up, unemployment figures are holding.
You have to understand – there was a collapse almost as big as the Great Depression under the last Republican president.
Do you have any idea how many years it took to pull out of the Great Depression?

Seriously… think about a jet airliner… how are you going to power that with alternative energy.
Posted by: Quo Warranto
the Pres was standing in front of a military aircraft, a jet, that ran on bio fuel,.. ‘alternative’ enough for you? The military understands that oil, the lack of it, is a great threat to the security of America and that’s why they are racing to to find ways to utilize any alternative energy possibilities to power defensive capabilities.

tierra the near collapse was thanks to liberals who thwarted every effort to drill for oil, refused to cooperate in lifting restrictions to the northern spotted owl for logging, refused to divert water to farmers in favor of fish, and have over the decades been responsible for regulation after regulation; restriction after restriction in giving more power to government than to the American entrepenuer.
By the way aren’t you the one who keeps saying the economy was a global collapse yet you switch your blame each week.
The blame falls on over regulation.

Now Obama’s in favor of drilling for oil because he knows America has realized his party spent the last 30 years tearing down the whole system along with Michael Moore and his twisted economic views. Now Obama’s trying look tough on job creation because his power and his crooked democrat party’s power is at stake – and that’s all democrats care about – control and power.

his party spent the last 30 years tearing down the whole system along with Michael Moore and his twisted economic views.

Pointing out the corruption and hypocrisy of the monopoly and rule by the military/industrial complex (pointed out by Republican military man President Eisenhower) was one of the best things ever happened to the United States, including pointing out its complete hypocrisy in backing military coups and dictatorships over democratically elected governments – Guatemala, Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iran and so on . . . .
The only thing the United States really had going for it that was truly valuable and original was rock and roll and jazz – and you know where they came from.

So the real question now is: was Bush/Republican governance that bad…or is Obama/Democratic leadership that good? As much as I like Obama, I think the answer has to lean towards the former. In retrospect it’s amazing how Bush managed to vanish the surplus as quickly as he did. Abracadabra…all your money is gone…along with most of your jobs! Every passing day just pushes the Bush administration closer and closer to the title of Worst Presidency EVER. Thank God it’s over…

This is NOT the Great Depression. I know you and Obama like to make this comparison but there really is no comparison. Starbucks is still open for business, iPods and now iPads are a hot item, cell phones are still widely used and big screen tvs are still being sold everywhere. We would have a long way to go to equal the suffering of the Great Depression.

Thank goodness we have the Dems in power and they were instrumental in passing TARP, the stimulus bill, the health care reform measures and the HIRE act so we won’t have to suffer through a Great Depression. The way the Republicans carried on was truly worrying, but we’re moving towards stronger recovery with positive GDP and job growth. We’re not out of the woods, true… but yes, we can all be thankful that the right people were in charge. Perhaps, the stimulus could have been larger and more focused, and the health care bill should have included a public option, but the public option can be added later, and we’re moving in the right direction on many domestic fronts.
We can’t let the Republicans in office destroy the progress we’ve made, despite their best efforts.

IT GALLS ME TO HEAR ABOUT BUSH LOSING HIS “SURPLUS”
Posted by: Manitu
it galls me that Bush started a needless war and got a lot of people killed…and cut taxes in the middle of 2 wars as if the wars wouldn’t cost anything, because they said the war would pay for itself….. delusional at best

If Bush hadn’t doubled the national debt on his shift, the country might have been in a position to better weather out the collapse of Bush’s Republican shift – regrettably, no such intelligence or common sense.

Except that Obama spent 15 months focused like a laser on his legacy–ObamaCare.
And he is still talking about it.
The economy would have turned around on its own as all recessions have.
Obama is anti-business and his agenda is a job killer.
His America will be high unemployment,

Americans clearly indicated that jobs/economy was their number one concern.
Obama chose from day one to ignore that.
And now he is paying the price for his disdain for public opinion.
The majority of Americans do not think he should be re-elected, and disapprove of his performance.
When Obama stated that most Americans believe he wants what is best for America–it show how delusional and arrogant he really is.

The President’s approval rating in the poll of polls is right in around 48% – where its been for months.
Reagan on the other hand fell to 35% during his first term.
Your exaggeration is driven by political fervor not common sense of fact.

I’ve noticed signs of economic recovery in my county lately. There are new shopss opening up in empty storefronts, there are more help wanted adds in our newspapers. It is a slow recovery but that is the best kind.
For instance, the kind of artificial boom we had in the housing market was not sustainable as it was pushed by speculators. The kind of spending people were doing was also unsustainable as the average person was spending a little more than they were making.
I’m happy things are turning around. I’d like to hope that people have learned to live more simply, be less materialistic and save more.
And please make an effort to buy American some of the time, as those jobs are vital to our economic health.

No point in continuing. We will never agree on the causes. I’ve always said there is plenty of blame to go around. I’m not as rigid in assessing blame on one person as you are. But I know you see it differently. Funny though how when someone in Obama’s administration messes up, you don’t assign any blame to him.
Job losses would have leveled off under Obama or McCain. But Obama can take the credit. It’s on his watch.

“It was a Republican presidency and a Republican congress for basically 6 years. To whatever degree their influence and competence, it is the economy they built that collapsed.
“Whatever accomplishments they may have achieved, they DID NOT put in place a strong economy – it collapsed like a house of cards.”
Read this – I didn’t blame it on one man.

It absolutely amazes me that we continue to tout job loses in millions and continue to blame it on the past or current administration. The blame should be clearly directed to the greedy CEOs and jobs that are being outsourced overseas, day-in and day-out. America was built on cheap labor, even free labor – slavery. Cheap labor is all that matters – which is why I can only find “made in China products”. Job loses are due to outsourcing – let’s make companies on American soil accountable for job loses due to outsourcing – and bring that back in line first and then we can discuss balance of trade. Think about it!!!

My God I have never seen such dribble in my life and the comments of this clueless president are truly amazing match only by the incompetent news media. How in the hell do say with a straight face unemployment goes from 9.1% to 9.2% and we have turned and the stupid media does not challenge such astounding and stupid comments.

Why you the americans are so stupid? Obama knows pretty well what he wants – and yes, he things are turning exactly in his way.

amazing how he always makes everything about him……my car….

Yes we are. We are turning the corner…. on Nov 6, 2012. Did you vote for hope and change from the guy with the flowery words in the empty suit? You know, the one whose only experience included an uneventful state senate seat and no useful experience in in his 145 days in the federal senate? You know, the one with no experience outside of bullying banks into giving loans to people who couldn’t afford to make the payments; who has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no idea how to run a country?
If so, will you make the same mistake again?

“i will roll up my sleeves”, “we’re turning the corner”
barry thinks he can fix the economy by repeating cliches off the teleprompter
“bringing america better economic policy through sloganeering”

Obama’s finally getting it right – We are turning a corner.
The only thing is this ‘corner’ is the edge of a Very Deep Hole into which this country is falling.
And it is a lot deeper due to his FAILED policies than the proverbial ditch that he claims Bush drove us into.

Turning the corner to the total destruction of the USA, just like obama planned.

Obama hasn’t figured out yet that Americans do not trust him! The economy and job picture will not improve until he and his bunch of bobble heads leave the White House.

That’s the point, B$BERZERKER, he said it over a year ago, and we are still waiting for that corner. We are not idiots or fools. Get off your high horse, slick.

Obama simply cannot figure out why all his ivory tower pipe dreams are playing out.
His answer cannot be “perhaps I’m wrong” it must always be “do it again, but harder and THEN it will work”
We are in free fall and he want’s to accelerate towards the ground. Always telling himself that if he just goes fast enough he will fly..

“Turning The Corner” to what… Third World status?
Dump Obama NOW!!!!!

That is ps thing that I have never heard of. Go back to arithmatic math and review it before making such statement, shame!

I offered 3 million jobs to this administration, one year ago, with Union Labor, Steel from the USA and almost all other supportive products from the US, as well…no reply folks.
They do not care.
A 3 Year Construction Project, tapping all sources of manufacturing, mining, productions, travel, hospitality, produce, copper, polymers, IT and a wealth of everything needed, to build confidence into this great land of ours and I didn’t hear anything back, except for two people…Gary Pierce (Corporate Commissioner/Az)and State Senator Chuck Gray, also from Arizona, but nothing from Washington. Think about a sponsorship into what will spur an immidiate turn-around to our countries economic posture and a firm stance in response to the global economy…would you respond, you betchya, but they didn’t.

“Shovel-ready wasn’t as, uh, shovel-ready as we expected it to be.” – Maybe someone can shovel all the BS Obama has been spreading.

When will people wake up!? We won’t go above 8%, 400K jobs will be gained the day the health care reform gets passed, we’ve turned the corner? This man has never LED anything in his life. He will not show his grades or papers from college so how do we know he doesn’t just read teleprompter’s? Understand now America; this man is a FIGUREHEAD! He does NOT call the shots. He is being TOLD what to say and do. Obama has increased our debt by 40% (!) in just 2 years! We will lose our world reserve status within the next 5 years if we don’t stop NOW! I’m not saying vote Republican. I’m saying VOTE AMERICAN! Get someone who KNOWS what they are doing and will make the HARD decisions necessary to ensure our very survival.

Yes, we are turning a corner: The majority of Americans see that we can no longer wait until November 2012 to remove the empty-suited, mendacious, anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Constitution, inexperienced, seditious, oath-of-office-breacher, Marxist community organizer.
That includes giving his thugocracy the boot, concurrent with his ejection or immediately thereafter.

In Japan, there are hybrid buses–so it is not about the weight of the vehicle. What is he talking about? He’s protecting his lifestyle while denying us ours. This president sees two classes– his and ours, much dictators in 3rd world countries think. The American people need to vote for change and restore hope. We’ve had enough of his “leadership.”

I’ve got my flaws and they are plenty. But seriously, folks, how does this guy sleep at night? He knows he is a fraud, he knows his lifelong-held ideological beliefs are failing right in front of him, his advisors are jumping ship, his lies are multiplying and the public knows all of ths as well. Business will not invest until he is gone. He cannot be trusted at all and they know it.

A STORY FROM APRIL 2, 2010…..REALLY?!
Talk about lazy writing!

Close – he is actually an “Ideologue” which makes him dangerous when it comes to us loosing our liberties and freedoms. Every time he opens his mouth he is on a mission to destroy our Constitution which protects our true freedom which enables us to break through classes via capitalism.

If Obama’s turning the corner, I hope he’s heading for home.

“We are turning the corner”… I laugh a scornful laugh at such absurdity and such stupidity.

It’s refreshing to see that so many see through this left-wing, emptied suited, HACK’s facade. The real America/Americans will speak come 2012!

Oh, yeah, one thing more. He’s also an alien. Yeah. Like, from another planet. Really.

Soon we’ll probably hear him laugh when he says, “well I guess the corner wasn’t to anything better like we hoped… Heh heh heh… I guess, well, things are worse, heh heh heh, I can’t imagine why, heh heh heh…”

We are turning a corner? Trouble is there all left hand corners and after four corners were back where we started from. Obummer is a total left wing hack who keeps deperately pounding round pegs into square holes.

When president obama has addressed American Citizens who engage in private enterprise and business he has demonized them, denigrated them, mocked them, ridiculed them, dismissed them, threatened them, harassed them, and tried to intimidate them — well I guess American business men and women have spoken!

Obama took our financial crisis and turned it around…360°.

Obama sure gives a good speech. Can’t run anything worth a darn, but he certainly talks good.

Turning the corner…Ya 2 years ago “laser like focus on jobs”, then “summer of recovery”, then “redoubling efforts”, now we are “turning the corner”. Uemployment has constantly gone up from 4.6% when obama took over to the 9.2% today. 6 times in a row where numbers appeared to be “better than expected” the following month the previous months numbers are adjusted down. Just like May June 2011 now saying -44,000 worse than reported. Also 6 million workers disappeared from the workforce 2 years ago with no explination. Add them back in using the workforce numbers used for 15 years and unemployment is 15.5% add in under employ and loss of benefits we are around 19% but we are turning the corner. LOL.

Turned the corner to more wealth distribution….Bottom line that is the only thing he has accoplished, but that is really all he cared/cares about. That is what the entire global warming is about.

yeah we’re turning the corner….from bad to worse…

Obama is dumber than a sack of hammers. It isn’t a corner we are turning it is a circle. Just going around and around as we circle down the drain. Do us all a favor Mr. President, pack your bags and get out of the White House!!!!

All this is not the fault of Obama. It is the fault of the American people who put him in office. They didn’t take the time to vet him. They knew nothing of his views and opinions before they elected him. Please, know you candidate in 2012 so we can avoid another catastophic selection to the Oval Office. I still don’t understand how this man got into office.

I spend a few hours a day reading the news and its all the same. I spend and equall amount of time reading the comments of other readers. The simple fact is there are too few people paying attention to what is happening. Most Americans are quite happy “surviving”. Obama creates a “just surviving” environment so the average American will vote for this FOOL because at the end of the day, he’s giving them “something for nothing”. Blacks sold there vote in the 60′s so that vote is locked up. Hispanics are slowly selling there vote to democrats as well. Gays, tree huggers, education establishemnt all sold ther vote years ago. Those of us who keep this country working are all that is left, and as for me – IVE SHRUGGED!. I’ve managed to trim the fat at my company 50% and I dont really need to higher more employees for the sake of lowering unemployment. My current employees arent going anywhere, so they work harder than they did 5 years ago, and their reward is a decent pay increase and job security. Sorry to those unemployed but as long as this FOOL is in office, Im not hiring new people either. One day soon, I’ll shrugg harder and take my toys elsewhere. SEE YA!

Making a LEFT turn into a dark alley is not “turning the corner’…!

This guy is even dumber than I gave him credit for! What a dunce!

What a jackass. Yeah, we are turning the corner toward a One World Order with the USA at the bottom of the heap. Idiot.

There’s a lesson from Wall Street that the electorate might consider: Always be the first to panic! Don’t wait for the obvious to become obvious.
Our economy IS going down. Maybe that was the direction Obama was talking about when he said, “We’re turning the corner..”

Dear God….I’m so tired of this world. Please send Jesus…SOON!

My question is this….”Why are we all going over the cliff with him????”

Obama must be delusional if he thinks continuing bad numbers in EVERY sector of the economy signals that we are “turning the corner.” Probably not the corner most Americans want to turn, eh?

We weaken ourselves and provide cover for them by thinking they are dumb and stupid.
If only that were the problem.

Turning the corner? We’ve turned the e gnomic corner so often with this guy we’re right back where we started, only trillions more in the hole. He reminds of the kid who ran away from home, only to circle the block a dozen times because he wasn’t allowed to cross the street without permission. For the economy the only unemployment number that will matter in 2012 will be his own pink slip from the voters, effective January 2013.

He should re-sign how can he keep lying everyday

Yeah, we are turning the corner…unfortunately we are taking a left on Jimmy Carter St, which leads us over a cliff. Too bad we didn’t go right on Reagan Ave, straight to Prosperity, USA.

Is this a joke?

We sure are.
Turning left off of Recession Street and onto Depression Avenue.

I don’t listen to what Obama does; I watch what he does………..golf.

Yep… turned the corner…
Massive debts
Uncontrolled regulation
Plunging into depression
Racial division
Betraying our allies
“Turned the corner…”
“Never let a good crisis go to waste…”

Obama makes “Baghdad Bob” sound like a truth teller.
And he sounds more like a meth-head every time he opens his mouth.

Sorry Tapper, this administration has not turned a corner in the entirety of is existance. It has unerringly been directed by handlers whose ideology and design have combined to set forth on a path of destruction of the greatest economy least of all the greatest country on the face of the earth. It’s excercise has been abetted by the likes of you and your ilk in the water carrying media too stupid to ask questions and make observations, less you be denied access to the messiah’s words and gifts. This scourge on the American landscape is led by an evil pariah and staffed by a camp of nitwits, reprobates, tax cheats, social misfits, incompetants, lying, sceeming, behind the back door subversives whose elitist based positions have been derived from the belief they are superior to any of the underlings they govern and they deserve the positions because of birthright. This is a slow motion train wreck of terror. It hasn’t turned the corner other than to follow the tracks it has been set upon at the beginning in its never erring journey toward utter unhinging of everything prescious that has been fought and died for since the country’s inception. That designed and dreamed about by beter men than you will ever hope to be and for whom you haven’t the whiskers to carry their water.

A few months prior to Obama winning the election, a very politically savvy friend (who stated that GW Bush was going to become a nightmare if HE won the election) said that Obama was nothing more than “slick talking brother”. Appears he was right.

Click those ruby red heals three times, say it often enough and some idiots will actually believe your lies again Obama.

Never in American history has a President and Vice President resigned for incompetency, so no on in Congress knows how to request or demand Obama/Biden’s resignation.
Ask yourself and your friends – do we really need to wait and watch further damage with Obama as President? Really?

And going back to 1932, THE GREAT DEPRESSUION.
I have been warning people for two years to prepare for it.
Other Countries are looking to get rid of U.S. Currency as the worlds currency.
The value is going to be worthless.
Your Federal Reserve caused that and your Government owes the Federal Reserve 1.3 TRILLION.
This Country is going down

Turning the corner………..Hey Barry we are going the wrong way !!! But Barry wouldn’t know that , its hard to keep up on current events while on vacation or on the golf course. And he does a lot of that. Our Great Leader he will try to feed you what ever line that he thinks you will swallow.

We must stop directing our angst toward the Liar/puppet in chief. Barry is just reading what the teleprompter told him. Barry makes zero decisions. The fed controls the economy. And, the fed is just a private business not a government agency. They answer to a board of directors. “They” win either way up market or down. You really want to know who’s fault it is… LOOK IN THE MIRROR. I AM SORRY TO ALL THOSE UNDER 35. WE DROPPED THE BALL. MY GENERATION AND THOSE BEFORE ALLOWED THIS.

Sell all of your Celgard stock ASAP. When obama visits a company, it usually goes bankrupt within a year.

The federal reserve needs to be a cooperative!! Not operated by a small group of people. I am a little disgusted how a Great country like the US has been used solely for the benefit of a select few. I have extreme faith that America will rise up again. America needs to stop giving into special interest groups…every company that received stimulas funds or a bailoult should only be allowed these funds if they were converted to a cooperative – NOT a company controlled by a few shareholders and the Unions. The rewards of labour belongs to the labourers!!!

Jake,
How do you keep a straight face when reporting this drivel coming out of Obama’s mouth? “…President Obama praised the latest jobs report today in a visit to a factory in Charlotte, NC, that makes parts for batteries. The company, Celgard, received nearly $50 million in taxpayer money from the Recovery Act in order to expand its production…” The tax payers give this company $50,000,000? And if we do not give it to them to make batteries for a lawn mower with two seats on it, they go under…..right Jake? Good grief! Do you think we’re that stupid?

Turning the corner what a jerk he is; I’ve been on the corner we are turning it’s called a circle in the NJ highway system only so far no exit’s are being built we are just repaving the road.

The Narcissistic Emperor is blissfully admiring his shiny new clothes in that fun house mirror.

I am not certain what corner this clown has been hanging on but hi comments are delusional and irresponsible. I hate to break it to Bozo, but the unemployment rate is continuing up and will not abate as corporations, flush with cash, will not hire until there is resolve on taxes, spending and what this ankle-weight health care program he shoved down our throats is going to ultimately cost the AMERICAN TAX PAYER.
If you votged for obama to prove that u were not a racist in ’08 you must surely vote against him in ’12 to prove that you are not stupid.

He’s wrong, of course, he’ll be able to ride in a hybrid just fine…after January 19 2013.

Yes we’re ‘turning a corner’, as one does continually when stuck on a circular track with no exit.
It’s time to select a new president, one who believes in the super highways of American entrepreneurship. I’m not talking about Obama’s Wall Street backers either…the guys who play with money rather than build with it.

Some one must have put the wrong message on this moron’s prompter, or he is talking about finishing the front nine.

Yeah and that corner will take how many years to get the bloated government out of the way?
Stop with the buzz words Obama, you are clueless.

Well people we did turn the corner. The corner of “Russia Wins the Space Race” onto the avenue of “Soros Blvd”.
die nexte halte strasse ist “civil war zwei strasse”!

Dems pretty much need a bumper sticker or a car analogy…..So we are driving off a cliff with a kenyan (who has never driven and who does not have a drivers license )at the wheel of a car that was stolen by George Soros(probably stolen from a jew he sent to a death camp, but first he pulled out the jews gold teeth)!

Do you know we keep turning the corner? Because we are going circles.
president has no clue. Obama is like a dog chasing its on tail and he is taking this country for a ride.

To say he’s delusional is a compliment because he is actually a liar!

You may have “turned the corner”, but you are still in REVERSE.

Obama is a liar and a traitor to this country. He proves it every day.

This fellow is a royal disaster; on Nov. 6, 2012, he must be given notice to vacate the White House .
Meanwhile –lest this wrecking ball destroys the economy and everything he touches– we all must put the maximum pressure on our U.S. Senators and U.S. House Representatives to rein him in, to manacle him legislatively.

Hey Drudge folks, the article is from April. You know…Drudge is showing the idiocy of this administrations position with historical links? ugh..
anyway.
Jake,
I don’t know how you do it. I watch the daily press briefings, I read your posts. You seem like a nice guy but I seriously don’t know how you listen to this administration spin one lie after another and just sit there with your hand raised hoping the professor calls on you so you can lob him one of your infamous softballs. Like the Joker said “what happened…did your balls fall off”? Remember when you were a young guy, hungry and looking to make a difference in the world? Remember when truth and investigative reporting got your heart racing? Do you remember anything of who you once were?
It seems the white house press corps only care about being a member of the white house press corps. We aren’t stupid; we know if you ask a real question, you’ll lose that comfortable chair. So lose it. Make a stand. Be the first. It’s your country too. Don’t you see what is happening out here in the real world? You can’t drive down a residential street without several “for sale” or “Foreclosure” signs staring at you. You can’t drive through an industrial park without noticing the stark reality of one empty building after another. You can’t go into a Wallmart or a Target or Kmart and find an American made product. All this in less than twenty years. And you sit there with your hand up hoping the professor will call on you so you can ask him what he’s going to do for Easter.

It is painful to watch an individual carry on as though they know what they are talking about when actually they haven’t got a clue. Who does he think he is deceiving??? This man is wreckless, self-absorbed, radical, callous, condescending, anti-American greatness…I could go on and on and on. Please, please help me vote this man out of office before he puts the nails in the coffin.

Turning the corner all right….
Going from bad to worse….
and the American people do nothing.
AGAIN!!!!

President Obama is the best president since Clinton. We should be thankful that we will be able to keep him in office for another term. Keep up the good work Mr. President.

I am in my 70′s and have never seen such hatred spewed out toward a President of the United States. No doubt much of it is racist. He has been given absolutely no thanks for jerking us away from a probable Great Depression. Bush added 4 trillion to the debt, but I never heard a word against it (folks were enjoying being in power and getting a tax cut). Bush only added 3.7 million jobs were added under Bush in a 5-year period. Under the same period Clinton added 17.8 million jobs and had a huge tax increase. Too bad folks don’t want to see that. But according to Republicans, it is Democratic debt that counts, not theirs.
