Lets do another "simple" analysis...

[Lukey]

President Obama entered office on a sea of hope (and approval ratings in the 70% range) and was awarded a compliant Congress to boot. He drove the car for two full years! Two years later he was handed an historic Congressional defeat. Now, closing in on the culmination of his first term, his signature achievement, health care reform, still meets with majority disapproval (as does his performance on virtually every aspect of his job). His unprecedented interventions in the economy have failed to produce adequate growth and a resurgence of employment consistent with prior downturns where such interventions were withheld. A host of promises (from ending the wars to closing GITMO to using his position to unite us and change the way Washington DC works) go largely unfulfilled.

A "simple" analysis tells you that this is the picture of a failed Presidency. Of course, as our left wing intelligentsia tells us "simple is simplistic" so they share their superior knowledge and their "sophisticated" analyses that "prove" that our "simplistic" analysis is causing our eyes to lie to us. Mr. Obama has actually had a highly successful tenure. Everything he has done has worked better than expected. Any actual failure has resulted from the Republicans in Congress blocking his agenda (which merely fulfills their mandate) and the perceptions of widespread failure stem from a relentless propaganda campaign by Republicans and a mass media that refuses to report just how effective his policies have actually been.

Yeah, right!

Let's do an HONEST analysis

He never had a "compliant" (veto-proof majority) Congress with Snowe, Lieberman & Nelson saying no at every turn.

Glad i could clear that up.

Reagan didn't need a super majority lock down in both houses merely to do his job and neither did Clinton . . . and so you are admitting the simple analysis, which is that in 2008 the hysterical leftist faction of the Democratic Party promoted a not ready for prime time political fad candidate in Barack Obama, and that once he entered the Oval Office on a wave of over the top, worshipful fanfare he discovered that . . . he had been promoted waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above his qualified pay grade.

Thank you for your aid in clarifying that point.

 

[Cicero]

Reality chack: as a socialist Obama deliberately increased the national debt to communist China by Five Trillion Dollars in JUST three years and under Obama-spending, the national debt is projected to increase by double that mount [at a minimum] at the end of a second term . . . if the nation is so stupid as to put the man back into office.

Enjoy.

Yawn

The Obameter link above might clear things up for you.

Enjoy.

The alternative: Another trillion dollar clusterfuk with Iran, more tax cuts for bazillionaires, union busting, outsourcing, disappearance of middle class, environmental plunder, end of public education, big government in every womb, and even bigger deficits.

IF the nation is so stupid as to put Mittens in office... Enjoy.

 

[Cicero]

You mean the one that ignores Obama sinking this nation FIVE MORE TRILLION dollars in debt to the communist Chinese in just three years, that packet of accomplishments? Now tell us again why the nation should want to put a Clown Prince back into office when he makes spendthrift Bush look like a fiscally responsible president in comparison and this in hard economic times? Ooops!

This incredible habit that so many leftwingers have of taking a soggy toothpick to a political firefight is fascinating. I think it has something to do with masochistic tendencies.

I have a 5,000 Jack Buck bet on Obama over Mittens with CorruptBuddha. Care to go 2,000 with me? *Money goes to charity of the other's choice. I win, his will go to Planned Parenthood! ;-)

 

[Cicero]

The nation should blindly march to some sick socialist Utopia burning money by the bushel baskets full under Obama? The alternative is sanity.

Let's see if the average voter is ready to reach for sanity at the end of 2012 instead of simply firebombing their tax money under Obama.; Oh wait, half of the nation doesn't PAY TAXES. Oh I get it. The Obamanation . . . sock it to the taxpayers while letting the freeloaders skate. Nice.

 

[Bo-4]

Which freeloaders don't pay sales taxes on the 20 grand they make to support a family?

 

[Cicero]

No . . . I'm planning to just keep piling up my jack bucks like a selfish capitalistic pig. Once I have a huge stack of the worthless things -- sort of like the worthless dollar under Obama's presidency -- I intend to symbolically burn them in a symbolic town square just to keep my hands warm. Capitalism . . . I get to do whatever the

I want with my own money.

 

[Bo-4]

They're not worthless. 1000 of them is ten bucks. Gordon earns that many every day! : )

 

[Cicero]

So what? The point is that it's my filthy lucre, earned by my own typing fingers and so if I want to use them to wipe my butt, then it's my business; not yours and not Obama's. That's how it works in a free nation . . . at least for a while longer.

I'm not willing to put my money where my mouth is, even if i could take Bo's money and give it to Freedumb Works.

 

[Cicero]

Translation, a child of the Obamacorn wants to tell me what to do with my own JBs; and now he's getting pissy about it . . . it's funny how chatrooms mimic reality.

 

[Bo-4]

PS

You have $210 dollars now. I can only surmise that you'll buy more canned goods and ammo after Obama's reelection. If there's any left over, it'll go toward anti-depressants.

 

[Cicero]

We are not a flat tax nation. I would love to have seen our leftwingers play dodge ball during their school years since they are so clumsy about trying to divert the main points as they come zinging at them. Most of them must have gotten creamed.

HAHAHA.. no dude, i didn't tell you what to do with your money and i'm hardly getting pissy.

[Cicero]

They will go for whatever I want to do with them. We call that capitalism. I know that it's an unfathomable concept for the average leftwinger, but they should hang in there and perhaps study the history of their own nation from time to time. The change would do them good.
