Obama: If We Lose in 2012, Government Will Tell People ‘You’re on Your Own’

And Obama’s message to america. You are all on your own!. Thanks a lot for nothing!

And this is news? The Republicans have been Yo-Yos for a long time.

Anonymous: And do you think that things would be so much better if this administration hadn’t spent all that money? The only mistake that was made was not putting a lot of restrictions on the money that was spent on banks. The rest was used to keep some people’s jobs and homes and fix up things that have been broken and neglected for far too long. This doesn’t happen in other democratic western countries. These places know that government has to spend money to maintain fairness and infrastructure. Can’t you tell by the fiasco that Wall Street created by betting against its own citizens that the Republican plan of letting business pretend at trickle down economics is what brought the country to the situation where all that money was being necessary to keep the nation from a full blown depression.

Mr Obama, you just restated what I already knew. You think America needs your help. No thank you, we can do it fine without government. Just leave us alone and continue your monarchy. You have 14 months. Enjoy

Obama wanted to do the illegal aliens ‘his’ way, or not at all. He wanted to do the health care ‘his’ way, or not at all. I think there are many more examples out there that are less than public. I don’t believe Obama will help the people unless it is done ‘his’ way, and ‘his’ way has not been particularly good, or beneficial to the American Taxpayers. Obama is the cat that wanted to include the illegal aliens in the Health Care Bill, and I would bet that someone who looks hard is going to discover he did.
Obama is an autocrat.. not a President, and we need something new. I really, really wish someone else was trying for the Democratic Party leadership role.

Here we go again with the”EVIL REPUBLICAN” speeches so this lazy do nothing but toot his own horn Presdient can demonize his opponets in order to win the election again. Sorry! I didn’t buy it in 2008 and I am sure as hell not buying it in 2012!! As far as I am concerned ANYONE but this joker is better qualified for the job.

So when is Hillary going to run, she could beat Obama and any Republican candidate by a mile.
And I am a Republican.

He’s right. He’s the only politician that’s done anything to help the average American. We’ve seen what the GOP stand for, more greed, less regulation, and placing the burden on the declining middle class. America won’t survive GOP in power. Look at the Senate, pull up their record..is that honestly what these people think will save America? They promised jobs to take that election..and all they have done is attack womens rights.

Hillary is a tool. Ancient history. Seriously, did you check your equipment lately?

Hillary is a tool. Ancient history.

we need Obama for another 4 years.. we have a lot more low-lifes in this world that need to be killed. low-life leading North Korea.. 1 leading Syria… all those Cartel leaders on the souther border.. crooked Mexican cops.. quite a few low-lifes in this country need to see the Obama Justice. No Trials, just Kill them. Go OBAMA!

I do have some issues with the way Democrats have been handling things. However, I have seen not one viable solution to any problem actually proposed by the Republicans in office. They seem totally unconcerned with actually solving the problems that face us – especially those of us in the lower and middle classes – and more concerned with blocking everything the Democrats propose, and getting back into the White House.
I seriously believe at this point that if Obama were to propose legislation that was straight down the Republican party line platform, that the Republicans would still oppose it en masse simply because it came from Obama.
I’m sick of both parties at this point. But Republicans, if you want me to even consider giving you my vote, you’re going to need to show some class, show some dignity, and most of all, show that you are more interested in doing right by the American citizens and less interested in scoring political points.

Yeah, that self reliance stuff is for the birds…. I want Obama to do ALL MY THINKING for me…. Geez, what a creep…..

Mr. Prez…I can handle it. Gladly. Scare the other folks.

Threaten people with self reliance?! Is he joking? That is what people want! Big government is the problem not the solution.

Does “on my own” mean you will let me keep my own money and not force me to bail out those who receive “free money” from Obama for leading impulsive wasteful lifestyles at my expense? Sounds great.

NoObama needs to face the facts……..The people of the USA don’t want him in office……….that simple….YOU ARE FIRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pres. Obama had to spend the money in large part to clean up the catastrophic mess he inherited. Interesting how easily people forget that he inherited the problems that was created mostly by W during the 8 eternal years he was in office. I will vote for Pres. Obama and am grateful we have a President who has a brain and integrity. America is much more respected by other countries since President Obama took office.

Those of you who say that Pres. Obama is threatening self reliance are twisting what he said to fit your agenda. When he said You are on your own, he meant that government will not be representing the people’s best interest, but rather corporations and the very wealthy. You say you can “handle it?” Can you handle more pollution that will be in your children and grandchildren’s water, air, and environment? Can you handle a big rise in crime b/c the disparity between the wealthy and poor will continue to grow with all the social ills that accompany it? The world is a much smaller place and what happens across the ocean can directly affect you. Wake up. You are not an island.

Can anyone remember if ABC was putting quotes demonizing the opposing party from Bush’s fundraising speeches on the front page during his terms in office? I’m guessing he said similar things to his fundraisers about Democrats, but I ‘m skeptical that the media regurgitated it as if it was spoken at the State of the Union address. Maybe they did. If they didn’t, then it would appear that they are now trying to propagate Obama’s fundraising rhetoric to the masses. Time to google….

Even big dogs can be controlled when they run wild. You have four more years of taming. Enjoy

And is this anything new??? If anyone believes that any politician…no matter what party…is looking out for the best interest of the people then I have some ocean front property in Arizona I would love to sell! Politicians are in it for themselves…how much money they can get special interest groups to dump into their back pockets. It is special interest groups, ie: major corporations, that is in control of this country…not the politicians and damned sure not “the people”.

Thanks Mommy!

You’ve proven yourself incapable of running this country, and you can no longer blame Bush for it.

You’ve spent us into oblivion, took on more debt (and wasted) more money than we can ever pay back and you still want to spend more. What exactly have you done this past three years except piss away money and go on vacation? Where’s that free healthcare no one wants?

Thanks but no thanks. We’ll take our chances “on our own”

So “If we lose in 2012 Etc,Etc. Is this Mr. Obama for real or just delusional?
Didn’t the United States have 2 Presidents who turned the economy around?
Mr. John Kennedy and President Ronald Reagan . Why o why could not this fellow in
the white house review or make a template of how these two presidents turn the
economies around in their day? That’s too easy. I guess.

…..if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.”

Since when was self reliance a bad thing? Its one of the major things wrong with this society- NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS!

I am soo sick of this fool! I cant even listen to his voice any more. Such a child.

And he critisized the republicans for using scare tactics in 08. what a freaking hypoclit

If Obama loses in 2012, we can only hope that the government will leave us alone to live on our own.

The decline of American and the burden on Americans today have been forced upon us by Obama and the crooked bunch of liberals in the government.

The productive Americans have always done fine without the Feds.

It’s the dem voters that are dragging the rest of us down.

On my own again! Does this mean I can eat all the spud I want? Can I stay up late a post on the internet? Please take the stupid stickers off the fruit from the store.

In fact, take the government warning stickers off everything except, “Made in China”. I find that warning useful.

Thank god! That’s all most americans want….the fredom to be on their own. To fail or succede of their own volition.

Barak Hussein Obama,

You are an inept, naive and blissfully stupid man. If you belive that you have done so much for America and that if the GOP wins that we are doomed, you are a bigger fool than you have prooven yourself to be to date. Although you’ve been in office for some time, you continue to politic rather than lead this country that needs leadership in the worst way. I can’t wait until you are out of office so that you and your first lady can devote 100% of your time to magazine covers annd talk shows.

Enjoy your time in office – it is fleeting at best!

Hope for Change in 2012. Out with the Nanny State mentality and back in with self-reliance!

Barack sounds like a little punk. I don’t need his administration and government to hold my hand through life. I already have parents. As for student loans, they knew what they were getting into. We are broke you stupid SOB. Wake up you Obama supporters and smell the coffee.

The Republicans always claim that liberals want America to be more like Europe. Sure beats trying to be more like corrupt places like Zimbabwe and Malaysia that the GOP wants America to be more like.

Many of my Dem friends here in Cali say he won’t get re-elected. The emperor has no clothes.

Obama loves to lie and scare people. Self-reliance is a good thing and once was an American principle of life. Obama and his crew love to spend lots of money, make more laws that are not enforced and loves to destroy our wonderful country with his ideology. I did not vote for him, don’t plan to vote for him and pray to God that a real leader is voted in as president in 2012.

When Obama loses in 2012 THERE WILL BE DANCING IN THE STREETS! IT WILL BE PARTY TIME!!!

The Nazi regime restored economic prosperity and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending while suppressing labor unions and strikes.

A majority of households pay NO federal income tax. One third of those GET money from the government. These are the people Obama is issuing his warning to. Those who have benefited from the free ride have cause for concern.

hahahaha joker funny man dis borack…

MrRealist | October 26, 2011, 2:39 am —— Maybe you should read up on the never ending cycle of recessions (such as the one Clinton handed Bush). This recession was particularly deep because of the trillions of dollars in the housing market that were being played like Texas Hold ‘Em. Something else that should concern you is Obama’s policies have not helped in almost 3 years. The only way out of a recession is to hit bottom and build up. Obama’s policies are prolonging that. Look at the affect the stimulus had on the GDP. Now, without stimulus money, we are heading towards the bottom and Obama wants to spend another $500B. Problem is, that money will help prolong state union jobs (teachers, fireman, etc), but when it runs out, states are required by law to balance their budgets and those union jobs will be cut anyway. As I said, Obama is trying to prolong the inevitable.

Really? I’ll be on my own? Does that mean you’ll stop raping me every day with oppressive tax policies and additional laws that waste my time and money and insult my common sense?
Bring it, big fella. Smells like freedom to me……

Whats new we’ve been on our own since he became president.

Stop trying to intimidate me! You have a few months left inoffice so Just get off your high horse and do your job. I’m sick of your bullying, your campaigning, your smoke and mirrors.

If we woke up one morning to find we had no government, it would take us three days to form one that worked infinitely better than the one we have. Why three days? We’d all be celebrating that first day and recovering from the celebration on the second, so we couldn’t start work until the 8:00 AM on the third day.

On my own? No problem O-Blamea. My God what a putz!

Big government can be dangerous. Most people are better off on their own, because government can too often be the problem than the solution.

Obama already told us we were on our own when he kept adopting and extending Bush’s policies. I don’t really see a whole lot of difference between democrats and republicans at this point, last minute re-election attempt maneuvers included. Put simply, Obama and the democrats didn’t do what they were sent there to do and now they’re going to pay for it. Unfortunately, we’re going to pay for their failure or refusal to do what we sent them there to do also.

If Obama loses in 2012, the country may have a shot at turning the economy around. Just sayin…

The republicans? Get real. You have or had, at most, 2 sane candidates and a bunch of loonies filling out the rest of the field. The past few days the party hierarchy appear to be rallying around the one sane candidate (Romney) who has a chance in order to short circuit the current leader on their side of the scorecard.

Poor pathetic democrats. Somehow they think the evil companies are not donating to obama. Wakeup dems or go back to school.

“it is painfully obvious that you do not understand how economics works. You are childish enough to blame Bush and his policies, but fail to recognize the role of the Democrats in those policies. Obama has spent the same as Bush in half the time and comes out daily with new ways to spend money we don’t have.”…….. lol What’s painfully obvious is somebody saying Obama has spent the same as Bush doesn’t know how any of this works. I’d skip the lectures to others. You 20% or so loud mouths that always rant with the Fox speak are getting old. None of you ever have your facts right. If you want respect go learn what makes up this debt.

From 1500 thru about 1925 or so…… PEOPLE WERE ON THEIR OWN. That’s what built this country and made this country strong. Then government began to get involved in places they had no business or authority interfering with.So 80 or 90 years since then we are trillions in debt, high unemployment, illegals and welfare slugs sucking off the government’s mammary glands, two or three (maybe more) on going wars, jobs going to China, etc. YES! Obama, I want to be on my own like every American should be.

It’s amazing to me that there’s anyone supporting the Obama administration. Especially the unemployed and foreclosed upon folks. They should be screaming bloody hell. And to those who defend the dems, who are just as crooked and taking funds from the 1 percenters as the repubs, are you really so blind to your party line? I’m sure there’s voters running scared of “on your own” without Obama’s version of the U.S. gov’t. Poor saps.

Most, if not all, politicians engage in rhetoric when making speeches. You can call this scare tactics. But if you listen to talk radio, and go around making statements such as “Government is out of control!”, “We need to take our country back!”, “M a rx i s t s are taking control of the government!”, then you too are engaging in scare tactics.

Also, for the people who stated that as long as you work hard you can succeed in the system, could you send me directions to utopia. Cause I eat my 5 fruits and veggies a day and in utopia that will mean I never get sick.

SecondLook is getting very angry of late. I suspect she’ll go the way of Rightbehind after the mid-term results last year. Maybe she’ll change her name back to Moe Maebly.

“We should not be in a race to the bottom where we take pride in having the cheapest labor and the most polluted air and the least protected consumers,” he said.

BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU LIKE CHINA, MR. PRESIDENT!!

Obama wants every American to depend on the Government. He doesn’t understand that self reliance is what made America the shining beacon of Freedom in the world. Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

He doesn’t realize that he is part of the problem and not part of the solution! President Obama has no issues with low self-esteem!

Why is it that some people think their world will fall apart if the government is not involved?

“President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters” Question: How does a recession-battered supporter afford a $35,000 a plate seat at the table of this fundraiser?

Obama! You are such a liar!

newcountryman: “Why is it that some people think their world will fall apart if the government is not involved?” — Civilization is not possible without some kind of governance. Some kinds of governance promote fairness and opportunity, and some do not.

$1.81 – the price of gasoline when Obama took office…

Thanks Mr. President. I think we’ve been on our own for a while now. You’re not helping.

Wow..you SHEEP that think this president is helping this country are blind. He has done nothing but put us so far in debt it’s likely we will ever recover. Keep your change and take it as far from this country as possible

The old ‘big government’ argument. The game plan of the Repubs has always been to tie ‘national security’ to whatever they want to implement because government’s only function is to protect its people, right? That way, you’re just un-American if you do not support it. Well, government didn’t do to well of a job protecting us on 9/11/01. When a second plane hit the other tower 20 minutes later, and when our leaders were running around the country like chickens with their heads cut off or continuing to read a Billie Goat story to children, I’d say that they didn’t have too good of a handle on how to protect us ‘children.’ The Obama administraion is the one that actually captured and killed Bin Laden. The Bushes were FRIENDS with the Bin Ladens, and they probably helped to hide him for 8 years.

it’s simple…Obama = good , GOP = bad. if u like Obama -you’re a good person, if you like GOP , you are evil (& probably don’t even know it, cause you haven’t even entertained the idea) bc of a narrow margins in your brain. Can’t think about the poor, the needy & the teachers, gotta think about how big corporations can make more $$ at the expense of our environment & quality of life.

“You’re on your own.” Hallelujah! I have absolutely no doubt that I can do better taking care of myself than the idiots in Washington.

Scare tactics is all the democrats have left, and they will use from now on to the END.

If this is true, I hope Obama doesn’t get reelected. Quite frankly I don’t care. But if Obama doesn’t get reelected, the government will get off my back, sign me up.

Man say it again so the average American dumbass can hear you.

You know what? We the people WANT to be left alone. We don’t need a government to nanny us to death.

Self-reliance is what this country was founded on.

We won’t need to worry. Thanks to the President figuring out a way to get his policies working without Congress the economy will be looking up in 12 months. We’ll be back to less than 6% unemployment and deficit free spending with only 1% of the population paying an insignificant 5% of their incomes in new taxes and the other 99% of us will continue to enjoy our historically low federal taxes. All of this thanks to the brilliance of one man! BHO 2012

Perhaps it is time for healthy Americans to be re-united with the term “American Spirit.” Perhaps, relying on your own self would not be so bad…….Our fore fathers did it, so what makes us so different….NOTHING….

I wish we could be so lucky as to have the government tell us that.

I can imagine the big-bad-wolf telling the three-little-pigs that “You’ll be on your own”

Oh no! what will we do.

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Obama: If We Lose in 2012, Government Will Tell People ‘You’re on Your Own’

Works for me and every other small business owner I know. You want the economy to recover and more jobs? Then get out of our way, DC morons!

Oh no! Big brother won’t be there to coddle me and give me handouts?! iSadder

Los Angeles is dealing with the same problem and is dominated by Democrats. What portion of Arizona’s high school dropouts are illegal alien children? Maybe that has a little more to do with it than the GOP.

Thats sounds alot like what he told me personally back in 1985…~

Or we can keep Obama, and if you try hard, get an education, make a lot of money, he will be right there with you. If you are calling your Grandma, he will be on the phone line too. Honestly I think the Republican party should coin that phrase. “LEAVE ME ALONE!”

Really? On our own? You mean I could keep all of my money and property not pay for everyone else’s debt and I could give to the poor as I see fit? I’LL TAKE IT!!!

Run, Hill, Run!!!

“Take care of the middle-class, don’t lay off teachers, firemen and police and encourage people to buy American products is the only way to increase jobs.”

Huh?? That’s the only way?? sorry Lydia, but you’re sorely mistaken. Your logic doesn’t even make sense, not laying off teachers creates jobs????? How so?

This is the best add FOR the G.O.P yet….
when are you LIBERALS going to STOP putting your hand out?
when are you LIBERALS going to STOP believing that GOVERNMENT is going to SAVE you?
what has to HAPPEN for you LIBERALS to UNDERSTAND that GOVERNMENT does NOT care about you?
what has to HAPPEN for you LIBERALS to UNDERSTAND that GOVERNMENT does NOT work FOR you?

hahaha Oh Barack you’re so funny! We’re “on our own” eh? Well that sounds a helluva lot better than having him for a friend!!

PS GO RON PAUL!!!

Jamey – excellent. Thanks for the refresher on Nobama.

Complete HOGWASH. We are on our own right now because Obama doesn’t have a clue about reality. He’s an agitator plain and simple and is actually inciting violence from the left. He is despicable.

“Obama is offering some relief from student loans today and you have to wonder what good that will do for the crippled economy? It would give those students a little more money for beer I guess, but it really is no solution to our problem” … Really ?? Did you think twice before to write this ?? Have you ever been a student ? I’m sure not.

Individual initiative and self-reliance are what made this the greatest country on earth, different from all others. Opportunities – not handouts – have been what have brought bright, driven immigrants to our shores for generations. But, WAIT! Obama knows that if he can PROMISE – PROMISE – PROMISE – more stuff, more programs, more handouts, and demonize those evil, corporation-supporting Republicans, he can get re-elected.

Are debt-ridden states like California sinking into oblivion? Yes. Are we headed toward bankruptcy? Have Democrat-dominated policies led to the demise of dozens of cities, like Cleveland, Detroit, St Louis, and others? Well, we won’t talk about that. ACORN? Reverend Wright? Crippling public sector unions? Dodd-Frank? ObamaCare?

We won’t talk about those things. I’ll ‘take care of you’ and those ‘evil Republicans’ won’t.

If this man is re-elected, this country is GONE. The first time you voted for him, it was a mistake. The second time will be a choice. THINK, AMERICA!

POSTED BY: JON NO DOUGH | OCTOBER 26, 2011, 11:02 PM 11:02 PM

Pssst! Almost complete economic collapse on Republican George W. Bush’ watch throwing the country into massive deficits and debt.

Pssst! Republican in Congress play politics with increasing the debt ceiling, threatening the country might default on its loans, hence the trust in the stability of the U.S. gov’t comes into question and the rating gets reduced.

Obama: If We Lose in 2012, Government Will Tell People ‘You’re on Your Own’

Wow, what a relief, I was getting tired of those leaches sucking out every last drop.

Obama has done everything in his power to destroy America… yes, Obama, Americans want to be on their own, free to live their own lives as they wish, they want to be left alone! Pack your bags and go back to your com mie friends in Chicago. All you want to do is bring America down. The biggest and most dangerous ter rorist to America is you! Obama campaigned on the “anti-war” platform and has done nothing but bomb, kill, and invade country after country.

Ron Paul is what America needs. He truly LOVES AMERICA. He values freedom, he values life, and he will fight with everything in him to return America to her greatness, to what the founding fathers set up for us. He will adhere to the constitution. He will restore our economy. He will restore jobs. He will restore global respect for America. He will end the unnecessary wars and bring America’s men and women home to their families. Ron Paul, America’s last hope!

On our own? Is that a threat or a promise?

Leave us alone, get off our backs, and stop meddling with us. Get out of our business, get out of our bedrooms, just get out of our way and our lives.

If we get rid of you and we can be left alone, then 2012 can’t come soon enough.

I can only hope that this comes to pass. It is not the power of the government that makes this country great, it is not individuals and corporations propped up by government that makes us great. It is individuals acting in their own self interest, creating the products and services to serve a need in the market. I can only hope that once we’re “on our own” that the government gets out of the way of our success, and stops penalizing it so much.

That is all I want to have happen. Government needs to get out of the way and leave the people alone. The people can fix the mess we are in without the government stepping on our collective throats.

Heaven forbid people actually take responsibility for themselves.

“Heaven forbid people actually take responsibility for themselves.”

Yeah, like all our returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan – they need to “take responsibility for themselves” even though our economy isn’t producing enough family wage jobs.

What are these “people” supposed to do when they come home and their government pay stops? In Right Wing land, it’s OK to spend TRILLIONS on war, but not one thin dime on building JOBS we need now for the millions who are unemployed and our troops heading home.

Have you forgotten that we spent 787 Billion on JOBS? That got us 9.1% unemployment from 7.8%. Throwing more money at unions and campaign donors is NOT the answer. But it does replinish Obama’s reelection coffers….

Who’s been raking in the ‘handouts’?

I’m talking about legitimate small businesses, not Amway. You personally do not have a vet on your payroll. You don’t have employees you pay “family wages” to. You don’t lead by example. You expect others to do what you won’t do. You’re a hypocrite.

Oh please, by the time Obama’s economic programs had begun to take effect. the economic collapse on Bush’s watch that cannon balled into Obama’s presidency had stripped 9 million jobs from the country and the unemployment rate was over 10%. Once Obama’s policies began to kick in, this reversed. You can lie yourself to sleep at night, but it doesn’t benefit the country.

We are 15 year entrepreneurs whose small company designs, distributes and supports our software products used by big and small businesses across the US. The start-up was funded during an era of much higher taxes. Although we also work internationally, our programming is done here. You likely could have touched results from our product today, so enough patronizing presumptions.

Our products do in fact create family wage jobs, including people who have been in the military.
We believe the US economy needs more demand to help small business entrepreneurs, like those who were forced to lay off 80% of the jobs lost since 2007. We also believe austerity alone will not build family wage jobs for the millions NOW out of work, underemployed, or returning home.

The Right Wing strategy of attacking this message does not “lead by example” nor provide any viable alternatives to building new jobs.

YOU advocate for jobs for vets yet you do not have any vet programmers on your own payroll. YOU advocate for “family wages” yet you do not personally pay any employees a family wage. YOU did not create your business organically but were subsidized with taxpayer dollars extracted from the very people you vilify. YOU advocate for more federal government intervention in the job market yet the federal government has played a large part in devastating our economy and the private sector that funds it. YOU have an infantile understanding of how wealth and jobs are created. YOU are part of the problem, not the solution.

Has a president ever done this much campaigning this far out from the election? Does he actually do his job?

sounds like his prescription is “Elect me and we’ll steal more of other peoples’ money for you.” He has nothing to run on besides straight envy. It’s quite pathetic when you think about it.

Freedom! Horrible, horrible Freedom!

I rather be on my own than be led by an Idiot!

I thought self-reliance was a strongly held American virtue. Does it only exist in Alaska now? We haul our own wood, we build our own homes, we hunt the meat we eat, and grow our own gardens. The only thing the government really seems to be good at is spending our money. Please don’t even jump on the bridge to nowhere idea here… I’m not on the road and can only get to town via plane. Its a big state and I’m nowhere near the bridge to nowhere… I am in nowhere.

Manaalaq, the way you live is fine for you but the reality is there isn’t enough wilderness and open land in our country to support the 350 million folks who live here.
You forgot to mention that Alaskan individuals get more money from the federal government than they send in in income taxes. That means us city folk in the lower 48 are helping you live that ‘independent’ lifestyle that you enjoy.
And remember that the military that protects us can’t go backwards and fight off invaders with spears and arrows. We need technology to keep up with the rest of the world, And that isn’t even touching the advances in medicine, that keep folks living much longer lives than when everyone lived off the land and the average life expectancy was 45 years!

How much of our taxpayer dollars is Obama spending on his jaunts around the county picking up campaign donations at these fundraisers? I am tired of politicians, while in office, spending the last year and a half of their term campaigning using our money.

“Mitch McConnell said something several weeks ago that I think really resonated, which is: the president got everything that he wanted and it didn’t work. He got a big stimulus. He got health care reform, he got financial reform. The economy hasn’t moved.” – David Gregory, NBC News

“The way the world see america is that you vote Obama in and the america goes downhill slowly, or you can vote someone else in and it’ll all be over so much sooner.” – John

John, there’s nothing slow about Obama’s American Decline.

POSTED BY: INCONVENIENT TRUTH | OCTOBER 28, 2011, 10:45 AM posted: “each job cost taxpayers an average of $410,500 to create.”

This is where I don’t understand Right Wing logic. Stimulus projects did not happen in a vacuum. Local and federal taxes were deducted from workers’ paychecks. Money rippled out to buoy state agencies, education, and a myriad of businesses, big and small. And again, was this short term federal spending worth the prevention of a deep dark second Great Depression?

POSTED BY: JOHN | OCTOBER 28, 2011, 2:09 PM posted “Obama’s stimulus clearly failed”. Once again, I see no definition of “success”.

What are the expectations? Is “success” achieved only when the U.S. economy bounces back to the pre-collapse bubble? Would the step of preventing a steeper collapse into a Depression be considered “success”?

The CBO expects our economic recovery will be dragged by a combination of weak monetary stimulus, problems in the financial sector, a slow housing market, and job growth that falls behind output growth, thus keeping workers’ incomes low. Healing such a severely wounded structure will take YEARS.

During earlier U.S. Recessions, consumers put off buying while businesses cut inventories, jobs, and spending. As demand gradually picked up, the gap between what consumers needed and businesses’ inventories widened. That fueled spending – helping businesses to justify accelerating their growth. Considering the unprecedented depth of this recent Recession, we can’t expect that kind of recovery to happen as quickly.

So the question returns to government spending: is it worth spending while the economy heals, or do we do nothing? Do we tell an unemployed neighbor whose family is on the verge of homelessness or a soldier coming home from Iraq that they need to wait for a few years before jobs return? Do we as a society say it’s OK to spend on war, but not jobs?

“John, a lot of the stimulus money did not go to welfare, unless you are talking about the unemployment extensions, which could never qualify as welfare in anyone’s mind but a right-wing conservative’s.”

Posted by: Librarian53 | October 28, 2011, 3:33 pm 3:33 pm

If you received an “unemployment extension” payment from the government beyond the 26 week period defined by your state’s employer-funded unemployment insurance program, then you received welfare. Period. Anyone who receives payments from the government over and above what they pay in taxes is collecting welfare. Period. In fact, that’s the definition of welfare. As much as you’d like to make it about political Ideology, it has nothing to do with it. My guess is you have a reason to make yourself feel better about welfare by relabeling it.

|I voted for Jesus Christ and not for Obama Barrack.

On my own…without the government intruding in my life?
Nobody to tell me what kind of light bulb I can buy?
Now THAT is something to HOPE for…
Good bye Barack…we won’t miss you.
January 2013 won’t get here fast enough.

YE | OCTOBER 29, 2011, 4:10 PM posted: “Would you give me your source on that?”

Sorry, asking for a “source” is stepping through the mirror into Libertarian land. There is no connection to reality. Social contracts do not exist. Taxation is theft. “Liberty” is better than providing government help to poor, sick or downtrodden neighbors.

This mess wasn’t produced just by Democrats or just by Republicans. It was produced by both parties. Both parties support corporate welfare and expanding entitlements. Both parties embrace the idea that you can just print money whenever you want some. Both parties go to war for shady reasons, and constantly expand the power of the executive branch. Corporate Republicans and Union Democrats are all the same. They differ only in rhetoric. Obama’s rhetoric is more stark than some.

If you want to shake things up, vote for the one candidate who isn’t ready to let a citizen’s republic decay into an aristocratic empire: Ron Paul.

I bet old Herbert Hoover is dancing in his grave. When asked about the hungry a year after the 1929 Stock Market Crash and people were straving. It wasnt the governments responsiblity to feed it’s people. If there is hunger in America the citizens can go to the charites. Hoover also”Tightened The Belt” on government spending. This drove the United States into a deeper Depression. To bad the people in the country today slept threw US History and Civil classes in high school.

I’d rather be on our own than have Obama at the helm for four more years. We are out of money, Mr. President, and you refuse to cut spending anywhere. How about we cut your paycheck off completely and give it to someone who can control government spending and fix our credit rating, which you destroyed.

Wow kinda crappy to cause a moral panic just so he can raise money for his campain! I think its flat rude to assume what other will tell someone! This guy is a mess for sure. We are already on our own! He helps the people that dont work and not the people who bust their bump! What a piece of work! We cannot assume he knows what the future holds, unless one of his many wothless talents is fortune telling!

Which one is the lesser of two evils?

To hell with both Democrat and Republican warmongering, corporate whoring, banker owned poiticians!

I am voting Green.

Obama has fooled us once, don’t count on him fooling us again.

I might be a bit of a simpleton, but I feel the need to remark that the comments posted here get deep and do not address, for me, the underlying intent of the President, his re-election party and those who hope to occupy the Oval Office.

The title of the article & our President’s commentary, says that we will be on our own. Is that really the message? Vote for me & you will not be doomed! I feel that all of us are “on our own” already. Every person for themselves!

Oh, wait…..bus in a boatload of folks who already are generations into living life iw/free this & that to secure the Presidency. What a sweet campaign idea! Brilliant actually! Running for office, the campaign, is just all about salesmanship.

My observation is that our President won an election. How did he do this? Well I could go on and on about what was promised to misc. wage earning levels/parts of the country/assistance receivers/dog lovers/folks who eat oatmeal for breakfast. Doesn’t matter!!

IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR A PERSON TO HOLD A GOVERNMENT OFFICE THAT YOU BELIEVE WILL BE A TRUE LEADER (and at the present, a savior) TO GET OUR COUNTRY OUT OF A MESS THAT HAS BEEN CULMINATING FOR TERMS ……STOP with the comments!

IF you really want to do something about the current economic situation, I won’t say who to vote for, but VOTE!

Protest all ya want, whine on blogs, throw out “insight” around the office water cooler-go ahead.

NOTHING will change or stay the same or move forward if you do not VOTE!

I do not support anyone in office. I am very confused with it all.

Newspapers support officials by articles that slam whoever the paper doesn’t support. I am not that into politics.

What I do believe, however, is that our country will get nowhere if we do not get back to the basics of decency in a world where we are disgusted & appauled should an official have a tryst, a police officer lies on the stand or someone says that they forgot to pay for a soda because it would be so bizarre.

As a regular American, I cannot believe what I hear on the television and read in the paper and online involving each and every day life in what should be a country setting an example for the world.

It is a crying shame that folks are out of work, food pantrys have little to offer, shelters are beyond capacity, want ads are near vacant, kids going hungry, illegal folks w/free medical while employers hire w/o benefits. I could (& so could we all) go on & on!

Vote in the next election, NOT for those who have promised one thing (in any government position) and do not deliver on promises. Let it be known that elected officials need to get another career & lose the pension if they did not perform. If I didn’t deliver on my job description’s duties, I would be fired & I would get nothing. Why should the government hireies if they do not do thier job?

YOUR VOTE EQUALS YOU HIRING THEM! Ugh, I just do not understand what the problem is other than too many-way too many-cooks in the kitchen & the hired/voted for/appointed to the club officials automatically have a safe haven! No one else does!!!

Today, Obama cast Republicans’ hands-off approach as harmful to middle class families, who he says deserve government help.

“I reject an argument that says we’ve got to roll back protections that ban hidden fees by credit card companies, or rules that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury, or laws that prevent the health insurance industry from exploiting people who are sick,” Obama said. “And I reject the idea that somehow if we strip away collective bargaining rights, that we’ll be somehow better off.

Right here he says he is concerned about mercury exposure, and all the while, because of our obligation to china financially, we are attempting to replace incandecent lightbulbs with more “energy efficient” mercury vapor bulbs. Where do you think those bulbs are going to end up after awhile? In hazard controlled waste ? Maybe landfills ? Maybe ground water eventually?

Obama is a habitual liar, don’t listen to him lemmings. He said the corrupt republicans run the car in the ditch, which he was right, they did. But Obama has run it over the cliff.

Wow! We are on our own if Obama isn’t re-elected? Thanks, I’ll take it! I believe the last tie someone threaten the USA like that was when the British wanted to tax us without representation. You know what happened then, Mr. Presidente? We kicked their fannies to the curb and did it the American way – on our own! We need less government and more work, mister! You have a cushy job and a killer retirement plan thanks to us poor Americans. What did you do for Chicago as a city planner? Not much! So many illegal aliens working for substandard wages in that town that many Americans have come south looking for work they can’t find up north. With all the “free money” the government has thrown at businesses that failed, Obama could have paid every student loan off completely. Now that would have been a much smarter move, dude! Please get out of the White House and give someone else – anyone else – a chance to do the job better!

Umm correct me if I’m wrong but the Middle Class already feels like we’re on our own. We’re working our butts off to keep our heads above water and paying for all the Medical recipients to stay home and sit on their ass without even attempting to get a job!

Anonymous/Nov 5, 2011 12:32 pm also NOFLYZONE2, Barry, Nick, Radioman77, Jon Martin and others: I’m not sure if you are aware that there is a distinction between welfare recipients and disabled people receiving social security benefits and medical assistance. Maybe you are not aware that our tax dollars are put to a more economical use of integrating all levels of functioning disabled people into the community rather than housing them in an asylum or nursing home. The tax dollars are used to contract staff to assist theses people in their everyday lives and the goal is to hopefully get them to live as independently as possible and thus reduce the cost of assistance and ultimately your tax dollars so that we are not paying for “the Medical recipients to stay home and sit on their asses without even attempting to get a job)! (a portion of a quote from anonymous as stated at the beginning of my comment). Anonymous, were you too embarrassed to use your name? Many of us do have jobs and pay taxes. Many of us used to have jobs and paid taxes (including social security) for years before we were dealt the blow of our disability. Case in point: MINE. One day I was a healthy 30 something mother of two, married with a great house and living fairly well. The next day I fell on ice and had a severe concussion, a broken back, a broken neck, I developed fibromyalgia and severe depression among other diagnosis.I lost my job, my husband and my life was turned upside down. I had worked and paid taxes and paid into social security for almost 22 years. I could not work. I began receiving social security benefits and medical assistance and moved into a condo. I am still receiving those benefits because it was hard for me to find and keep a job due to the severe concussion and it is difficult for me to live entirely on my own without assistance from some government programs. I am receiving medical assistance to help pay for my large medical bills due to frequent suicide attempts and thus hospitalizations when I can’t handle the chronic and mental pain I suffer from the accident. I do have a part time job that my Doctor has allowed me to do so I am paying taxes while receiving benefits. So I am asking the people I have singled out with your cruel comments and anyone else who may read this to please be sensitive with your comments and don’t lump the disabled needy people in with the people who don’t deserve our tax dollars – the “welfare” people who use our tax dollars fraudulently or feel they are “entitled” to them but don’t deserve them because they are capable of contributing to society and paying taxes. Your future sensitivity is appreciated.

Wow! Lucky for us this guy came along, eh? I had no idea I was so lost and alone with out him.

Own your own? With the “help” that usually come with the opposite, who needs enemies?

in reply to the post your game and Obama are through is is correct and so is our country. Many of you who support the tea party movement will result in the decline of the american way of life that we have enjoyed for many years is going to be history.

Please, leave us alone! We are not all dependents of the government. I pray he loses!!!

Of course this is just a scare tactic that is ineffectual because he already ditched Americans the second he started expanding on Bush’s crimes. Democrats and Republicans are two heads of the same snake. Both party’s have to go…

Apparently Obama forgot there is something called State Government. I’d love to do with less Federal. More control at the local level!!! Less at the federal. Thank you.

I can think of worse..like another 4 years of Obama!! Get out and let us handle our own affairs. You all just keep spending and spending, waging war after war that we can’t afford. I’m done with people like you!! Get the hell out and let someone in that will follow the Constitution and listen to the people. RON PAUL 2012!!!

woohoo yea for dictators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then please leave! We do NOT want this government.

The fact of the matter is that Obama’s overconfidence and narcissistic ways have overtaken the way he thinks, talks and delivers his “plans” to the general public i.e. he’s proven to the American public that he’s nothing more than a typical politician who consistently points fingers at the “bad guys” a.k.a. the Republicans, but yet, it is NEVER his party’s fault, or his in general. Using such scare tactics, as mentioned in the article, does nothing but make Obama look like a desperate fool who’s on the tipping point of failure….as if he’s NOT already there.

Good luck getting re-elected you bum, you’re going to need it! Oh, and taking vacations at the taxpayers expense and self-promoting yourself and your family on TV on a consistent basis shows DOES NOTHING for your chances, either!

,,Are you kidding me? bo is a nwo stooge, just like 90% of the ruling class. 9/11 was an example of what gubmint is good for…

We are going back to 1929.People loses Jobs homes and benafits Tax to death,and people living on a fix incone.The cost of living is out of control.The price food is incressing every week.What are people with a Family of 4 going to do.And other country are receave our money,taking our Jobs.Is this the American way.

And what exactly has Obama done for us, besides put us in an even bigger HOLE of debt? NOTHING. He goes to Disney World, goes on vacations, and props his feet up while we all suffer. No thank you!!!!! My vote will NOT go for him. NEVER!!!!!!! If anyone is really dumb enough to vote for him again to ruin our country more than he already has, then they need mentally evaluated FAST!
