Back to Iowa, Obama says GOP Being Dishonest – Some Ask: Where Is The Hope?

“When you look at the choice we face in this election coming up, the other side, what it’s really offering is the same policies that from 2001 to 2009 put off hard problems and didn’t really speak honestly to the American people about how we’re going to get this country on track over the long term.”
=========
Says the man who
a) Was in the Senate for 4 years before being elected
b) Was in the majority party for 2 years before being elected and
c) has watched this Congress fail to produce a budget AT ALL this year. Talk about putting off the hard problems.

AMERICA this President is a FARCE.He wants to turn us around,other socialist communist tried and failed.The sooner we get this IDIOT out of there the better off we will be.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats in Congress still do not get it and probably never will:
The American people and American small business want lower taxes for EVERYONE while Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats will raise taxes on some and probably everyone to pay for the reckless spending they put in place.
The American people and American small business want smaller government while Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats have and plan to continue to greatly increase the size of government.
The American people and American small business want less government intervention into their lives and private affaires while Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats will continue to expand onerous regulation which raises costs, reduces the standard of living, and inhibits job growth.
The American people and American small business did not want the so-called healthcare reform while Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats continue to ignore how this law will cost the American people and small businesses more, reduce choice in healthcare, and restrict access to healthcare for many people.
The current Administration and current Congress must realize a large portion of the American people are fed up with high taxes, big government, and obtrusive government meddling in the private lives of people, business, and the economy. The American people what lower taxes, lower government spending, and smaller government.
As long as our government continues the reckless spending, high taxes, and unprecedented meddling with businesses, we cannot expect real long term growth.
The Congress and current Administration have put the country on a course of reckless government spending that has mortgaged the future of all Americans especially future generations. The only way to fix this long term structural problem is to create a pro-growth atmosphere for business. To do this we must reduce taxes NOW. How many different taxes does a business or individual pay on a regular basis? We must eliminate number and complexity of all these taxes and reduce the tax burden.
We also need to end the micro-management of business and the economy. Until we GREATLY reduce the tax burden on business and consumers and remove the senseless regulations that accomplish little in relation to the cost they impose, our future is bleak.
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER…VOTE THEM OUT!!!

Maybe Blumenthal could weare his war medals to the honesty conference chaired by Rangel

Yes they hate the Republicans, but they feel Washington is STILL not listening, and spending us to perdition, so naturally they are going to blame YOU.
House since ’06, Senate, White House…. YOU are in control Dims! Are we “outsourcing” accountability now!?!
How convienient!!!

Obama has been making tough decisions since he took office to clean up Bush’s mess. What did you think that he could turn 8 years of economic irresponsibility around in a measly 2 years? This is going to take much more than that people, but at least he’s trying… and open your eyes and quit listening to Hannity… it’s starting to work.
I also think it’s ridiculous to talk about wasting tax dollars when the previous president set the record for vacation days taken in office. This is called grassroots and listening to your constituency. He’s doing everything he can, but the fact that Republicans are voting against him just because they want to see him fail is irresponsible. Politicians have a duty to do what they think is right for the country, not their own agendas.
Maybe you’re right, instead of working with them and seeing the democrats succeed by improving the state of our country, let’s vote against anything that makes sense so that we can see the dems, along with the country fail.
Democrats have their issues, but give the policies a chance to work. Also, you guys calling this a socialist government clearly have no idea what socialism is. Quit saying it, educated people will think you’re stupid.

And as we know, the unemployment rate never went above 8%. Success!

Where is the hope??? It went with the change.

Mr President tell the people the truth. The economy is going from worse to worse. Another recession is looming. So where is the hope you promise?

….now we are creating jobs every month. although not as fast as we want.
Really? Go tell that to those on the dole. To those losing their homes.

Obama is a TOTAL liar! It was he and the Democrats that did the “backroom” deals to shove this health care debacle down the throats of America. It was OBama that lied about having a “transparent” presidency. It was Obama that has lied & deceived America to the point of destroying our great land! I cant WAIT until November gets here so we can get rid of these idiot Democrats, followed by getting rid of this idiot Obama in 2012! #FIREUP, Patriots….”We the People” are taking our Country BACK from Obama/Pelosi/Reid!

It all boils down to this…
(All data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, “Manufacturing” jobs historical data):

Mr Obama needs to begin behaving more like a President and less like a salesman. He does not need to keep trying to sell a product that doesn’t work.
People can judge for themselves how well the president has delivered and how good his product is.

Susan:
Economists are still baffled about the causes of the Great Depression:
There are many myths surrounding the Great Depression. Some say that Herbert Hoover was a laissez faire president and that FDR brought us out of the depression.
Perhaps depressions and recessions are part of normal economic cycles. They cannot be avoided.

“The president referenced the large crowd count at his rally last night in Madison, Wisconsin – with 25,000 young people turning out.”
University of Wisconsin-Madison is the Marxist Preparatory School Central. Obama cherry picked this school because it would make for a good photo op for our narcissist in chief. Obama chose the marxist school so he could grandstand his pompous self on stage as the cameras roll then afterwards tout the numbers to score cheap egotistical political points for narcissist self.

“It was a terrific reminder of the fact that young people still have so much energy and so much enthusiasm for the future.”
What Obama really means by this statement, referencing the University of Marxism, is that ‘it was a terrific reminder that I can still rely on the left leaning world of marxist academia of our university system to support my socialist agenda. What Obama saw in those numbers was a reflection of his socialist self.
Obama: “I think that this generation, your son’s generation, is smarter, more sophisticated, more passionate, has a broader world view. I think that they don’t take things for granted. They’re willing to work hard for whatever they can achieve. I think they think about the community and other people, and they don’t just have a narrow focus on what’s in it for me.”
All code word for ‘I can still brainwash your son and convince him that the sky is not blue. I can use my professorial skills to advance my agenda. The agenda of the very same ideas your son picked up in the left leaning elitist government sanctioned institutions of academia and make his generation think those ideas are their own. I’ll continue the propaganda machine of leftist academia that tells your son that only if you take from productive Americans and give to the lethargic, are you a good person. I’ll continue to convince your son that only the marxist is smarter, more sophisticated, and more passionate than the capitalist. That the brainwashing he received at elite academia is the only answer to the world’s problems under the guise of a ‘broader world view’. That giving to me the government and amassing my power is the only solution – the generous solution – the compassionate solution – the only solution than those selfish capitalists. That giving me and my administration all your freedoms, all your earnings, all your jobs, all your productivity, all your soul, and all your mind is the only solution if you were a true generous and compassionate soul. That if only your son and every other brainwashed gullible child would go against their instinct and relinquish all to me – their income, their future, their country, their freedoms, their everyday lives, everything to me – though difficult as it might sound and though difficult as it will become is the only unselfish act’ So says Obama.

Lydia: “It is pretty obvious that the serious economic downturn we are in, would have been much worse without the intervention that Obama has done in his year and a half in office.”
Keep telling yourself that.

progressive mama: “I can see why the average age in the GOP (and tea party) is sixty something.”
That’s a lie. Polls back in April showed that nearly half of Tea Partiers polled are between the ages of 45 and 64, and they’re better educated and better paid than the average American. In my area the Tea Partiers are primarily in their 30′s and 40′s. Nearly a third are Democrats. And we have a lot of ethnic diversity. Recent polls have shown that nearly a third of African Americans who are likely voters support the principles of Tea Party candidates.

“That’s a lie. Polls back in April showed that nearly half of Tea Partiers polled are between the ages of 45 and 64,”
With another 29% over the age of 64 (versus 25% 18 to 44).
60 is probably a little high for the average but I think 50 to 55 would not be that off.
“and they’re better educated and better paid than the average American.”
Yup.
They also are more evangelical, watch FoxNews, more likely to be very conservative, more likely to be men and more likely to be white.
That’s NYT’s poll.

Sorry I meant to say “and now Tea Party activists.”

“Where’s Hope & Change?”
Shrug…I prefer…
“Where’s the Budget?”

Obama is easily the worst President in American history. Americans made a clear mistake when they elected this fool in 2008 and the majority now knows it. Yes, McCain would have been better. That is not a hard thing to do though considering how complete awful Obama is.

ME TO OBAMA -
GGGGGOOOOO AAAWWWAAAYYYY!!!!!!

“He is calling the GOP liars”
They are.
See Paladino
See O’Donnell
See Miller.

This is so typical of Obama, positing a philosophical/diplomatic response to a practical question. A supporter asks why her son cannot find a full time job, and the President tells her that her son is a great guy with a lot of talent and a fine education and hey, sometime in the future he may even find work.
And this guy is the President?

Why do people keep saying Obama prevented a depression?
All the things that supposedly prevented the depression (e.g., the bank bailouts, TARP, and the emergency Fed Powers) were initiated by Hank Paulson–Bush’s man. All Obama did was nod his head and say, “OK” at the meetings during the panic of ’08.
True, Obama inherited an economy that was on life-support. His job at that point was to help the patient recover. While he did some things that could fall into that category, he ALSO let loose a slew of new regulations and taxes that are keeping the economy from recovering.
For me, Obama gets 1 point for going along with the Bush plan, and loses 2 points for having his boot on the neck of the American business community.

The reason that Obama’s platitudes got him elected is that Bush was such an abyssmal failure. I can’t understand why anyone would want to go back to his failed ideas. It makes no sense to me. Obama may have exacerbated the situation with the stimulus money spent, we’ll know soon enough, but obviously the republican ideas did us great harm and they do NOT deserve another chance. Please vote for someone reasonable, not Angles, O’donnells, etc.

Obama only drew 25,000 students to his rally in Madison…. He should have booked a better band to open for him.

Hmmm … yeah … Obama says the Republicans are dishonest, when every news item about ObamaCare seems to show that he lied about what that bill would and wouldn’t do. Would he care to explain to us all why we should trust him when he has a track-record that shows he is prone to what at best might be called “exaggerations,” and at worst are be out-right lies?

Believe me Barack, we know it’s going to take a while to fix all of the problems. As a matter of fact, we have to wait until November, 2012 to fix a very big problem.
