Obama: Potential Supporters Sense Recovery ‘Still Hasn’t Gotten Done Yet’

So far the Republicans have had very little to offer. The President wins.

BIDEN: ‘Are we campaigning? Yes, we are!’
Bus tour rolls through NC, VA…
Democrats flee…
Fmr. DNC chair stays far away…

Headlines say it all

Campaigning for a jobs program! Yes!

Short-term jobs program! Long-term deficit reduction!

Until the Right can offer something other than MORE OF THE SAME supply-side, voo-doo economics that got us INTO this mess to begin with

AND explain how a decade of tax cuts and subsidies for the rich and big business have not only FAILED to create JOBS but COST us millions of them, Obama, with 17 straight months of private sector job GROWTH to his credit wins, hands down.

This Independent will be voting for him again.

What’s the difference between Bo the dog and the economy? The president fixed Bo. — Letterman

Obama is tapping into … the lunatic fringe. He’s finally going a Full Monty hard lurch to the left

“This Independent will be voting for him again.”

This one will not…… I think we need to replace every idiot in DC with someone New. We have to keep doing it at every election until the Lobbyist, Corporations, and the Rich do not see politicians as a good investment. We need to take the money out of DC, stop politicians from making Money from book sales and speeches and working for lobbyists after they get out of office (unless they give it all to charity). WE WILL NOT change anything ON Wallstreet or anywhere else in this Country until we stop the politicians from using our political system to get Rich and stop them from thinking serving our Country is a Career. I voted for Obama, it is time for him to step aside and go do something else.

Quote: Obama is tapping into … the lunatic fringe. He’s finally going a Full Monty hard lurch to the left

Raven….I am independent, and voted for BO in 08….I think he is effective at campaigning from the middle, but he is not I believe capable of governing from there… I am very disappointed in his actions compared to his words:
Health care: turns out to be not as billed, and is in fact a welfare program with 15% of the people getting it free and the other people paying 15% more to pay for them.( My insurance actually went up by over 25%)
Economy: worse than before
Unemployment: worse than before
House prices crashed: worse and worse
Illegal Immigration: worse and worse….and the president actually is blatantly encouraging it.
Foreign trade deficit: worse and worse especially with China
Foreign Oil dependency: Worse and prices higher
Welfare : worse and growing
Government spending, debt, and deficit: all worse
All these were campaign promises that he would improve….all are the major issues now and all are failures….So I can not support Mr Obama…..even though he is a nice guy…and even though he give a nice speech…I no longer have any confidence that he knows what he is doing.

This independent will be again voting Obama. Anything to block the Republicans from turning this country into a more ‘feudal’ system than it already is. 1% controlling over 40% of the wealth and enjoying the lowest tax rates since the 1930′s! Be careful fellow voters! Republicans are using this recession/depression to their advantage – to push through an agenda that will benefit their rich buddies. These people are NOT the job creators – at least not in this country. Massive unemployment and where are the jobs being created? China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, etc. If you among the 99% then fight back – don’t support the right wing agenda.

I agree with Rick: I quote;
“Health care: turns out to be not as billed, and is in fact a welfare program with 15% of the people getting it free and the other people paying 15% more to pay for them.( My insurance actually went up by over 25%)

The polls show the republicans will be more apt to pay the price for no jobs next election. The political gamesmanship by the house GOP has left a sour taste in the mouths of most Americans. To make all pay the price to see Obama is not re-elected will not serve them well in the next election.

Obama: Potential Supporters Sense Recovery ‘Still Hasn’t Gotten Done Yet’

Those same Potential Supporters also have a feeling that ‘The Sun Rises in the East’.

and when will some of you realize that the Republicans and some democrats but mostly republicans of congress have not and do not have anything to offer in reference to jobs and rebuilding your beloved country’s economy. They do not have your beloved country’s best interest at heart. It’s shady,shiesty selfish politics as usual coming form them. It’s bad enough to have someone like Herman cain making his ignorant comments in reference to the unemployed. Go ahead American people some of you can vote for Bachman, Palin,perry or romney and they will not be able to help this economy when it comes to jobs either.

Hey Obama, here’s some news for you. It’s not only “potential supporters” that think it’s not getting done.

ABC, had a wonderful story of an American comeback yesterday.
Steubenville Ohio, has already created 300 new jobs and in the next 3 years they
project up to 10,000 more new hires. Steubenville is about to become an shale
drilling community. Marcellus and Utica shale have been discovered in large quantity
and the drilling is about to begin. The government knows of many of these deposits all through the Appalachians area’s and instead of taking the lead in something that creates jobs instantly, they throw roadblocks of regulation at you.
Instead of given us lower energy prices, they want you up on your roof cleaning
your solar panels to maintain peek performance. I wonder how well those panels
work on your roof when they are buried under snow for weeks at a time during
winter.

FORREST GUMP: “I’m laughing at how you keep using that word, ‘production’ . . .”

So, you argue it was government that’s been secretly responsible for production in the US? Once you admit that government is the most inefficient way to grow an economy, you realize removing the burden of government from the means of production and job growth is what’s necessary for recovery and sustained growth in the future.

FORREST GUMP: “During the 12 years that Republicans controlled the Senate and the House, January 1995 . . . lost when we had CLINTON”

Yes, Clinton was president until 2001, so you can’t just blame Republicans. Further, correlation isn’t causation, as you are looking at a very narrow view of things. Just citing who was in power means nothing.

If that’s your standard, Obama lost a bunch of jobs just after taking office. Although, his time in Democrat controlled Congress prior to assuming office and his support for the failed policies that caused the housing collapse does earn him some responsibility there.

FREEDOM | OCTOBER 18, 2011, 3:40 PM postrd “… going to loose in a landslide, no more spin, rhetoric and lies.”

And which of the candidates at last night’s Republican debate stepped forward as a viable option to “solve our problems”? Lord have mercy, what a bunch of “loosers”.

The following from Sept. 2011 Volume 17 Issue of Judicial Watch speaking of Illinois Governor Blagojevich. “He becomes the state’s fourth governor, and one of at least 79 Illinois public officials to be found guilty of a crime since 1972, proving that the Illinois government has certainly lived up to its reputation as a cesspool of corruption.” Obama earned his political stripes in Illinois. He is corrupt as it gets. My guess is the DNC will dump Obama and run Hillary Clinton. She isn’t any better. Our political system has been taken over by the wealthy. Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” Congressman Ron Paul understands the problem, but most voters are either too stupid or too brainwashed to understand the Federal Reserve is at the root of America’s moral and financial decline.

Posted by: Forrest Gump is DEFINITELY a Republican—I don’t vote republican or democrat, so it really isn’t an issue. You go ahead and follow the sheep of the cliff, by voting Dem or Repub, I won’t. You go ahead and buy into the BS and become dependent on them, and when it is all over, you will have nothing, because all they have promised you is nothing, but more paper money that the rest of the world has less and less faith in as a reserve currency, let them spend and tax and borrow us into oblivion, and we will look like the Weimar republic with a lot more guns.

Posted by: Forrest Gump is DEFINITELY a Republican—-Those jobs were gone before the republicans took power, the jobs were always going to be gone as soon as we jumped both feet first into globalization. The only reason the economy was as good as it was during the 90′s and 00′s was simply people living on credit, as a result now they are paying the credit back, and they don’t have any money left to participate on the consumer economy, meaning people with service jobs and service job skills are not needed because no one is buying what they are selling, and those with manufacturing jobs are under-cut with products produced where the standard of living, taxes, and regulation are less. People vote with the pocket book not with their nationalism.

“let them spend and tax and borrow us into oblivion…(whine, whine, whine)”
===================================

LOL! …. I’m laughing at what you said, “spend, tax and BORROW us into oblivion” …. hehehe …. are you talking about Republicans? Because that’s EXACTLY what they’ve done, TWICE before when we gave them the reigns of the government…

Nixon/Ford debt increase = $292 billion
Carter debt increase = $280 billion
*** REAGAN DEBT INCREASE = $1.7 TRILLION. (and Reagan had a Republican Senate for 75% of his term)

Clinton debt increase = $1.6 Trillion
G.W. BUSH DEBT INCREASE = $4.9 TRILLION. (and Bush-2 had a Republican Senate and House for 75% of his term)

LOL!… and your solution is to go back and vote for Republicans? …. are you serious? People like you fail to realize that it’s the Republican practice of implementing “TAX CUTS” (without simultaneous cuts in spending) that have caused the huge national debt. Just look at the figures above… and ask yourself, “Why did the debt increase rate jump so high under two Republicans: Reagan and Bush-2. …. and you’ll probably take your horse-blinders off and start thinking for a change.

SNEWSOM2997, October 19, 2011, 12:29 PM, SAID:

“The Repubs won’t give up on SSI and Medicare, because the old voters who elect them rely on it.”
=====================================
LMAO! …….. Actually, you’re wrong. The Republicans wouldn’t give up on SSI and MEDICARE (both items in the OFF-BUDGET side of the federal budget), because these two programs over the past 25 years have provided the “slush fund” that Republicans and Democrats have used to BORROW from, because the federal government never has enough revenue on the ON-BUDGET side of the federal budget to pay for everything, ESPECIALLY with Republican “Tax Cuts” in place.

Over the past 25 years, the OFF-BUDGET side of the federal budget, i.e., the side that payroll taxes go in to for Social Security and MEDICARE, has had a SURPLUS every year for 25 years, totalling to $2.55 Trillion. …… and every year, during the past 25 years, both Republican congresses and Democratic congresses have borrowed from those annual OFF-BUDGET surpluses to pay for the programs in the ON-BUDGET side of the federal budget. Republican Tax Cuts, which resulted in less revenue in the ON-BUDGET side of the federal budget have made the borrowing each year even greater.
