Below is the ending of a Stephen Hayes' article. I am saving it as a trophy, to be passed on to my grandchildren. This man's failure is a monument to the Progressive/Utopian Movement, an unAmerican effort to destroy historic "America" from within. It is comprised of those who despise our history and resent the fact of our national success. This article is a "trophy" in that it is actually a testament to the relentless effort of the Conservative Nation. Hail to this great nation and the inevitable return to the principles and values commissioned by our Founders. You will want to take time to read this excellent, excellent, article.

(From the Weekly Standard): The disapproval of Obama is widespread. A New York Times/CBS/YouGov poll released on October 9 found that Obama’s disapproval ratings are higher than his approval ratings in 43 of 50 states. Obama’s approval rating is above 50 percent in only three states.
Here, then, is the great irony of the Obama presidency: Barack Obama will be a transformative president, but not in the way he imagined when he spoke to the Reno Gazette-Journal a year before he took the oath of office. Rather than restore faith in government, the Obama presidency has all but destroyed it.
Despite himself, Obama has made the case for limited government more powerfully than his opponents. The biggest question in American politics over the next two years is a simple one: Can Republicans take advantage of it?
Stephen F. Hayes is a senior writer at The Weekly Standard.
The guy who cut the deficit in half, dropped unemployment to below 6%, and new all time highs in the stock market... on the heels of a Bush recession.
ReplyDeleteRacist hate will get you no where, except with other racists.
Obama pledged to cut the Bush annual deficit in half, not his own deficits. He has been in office for six years and has not come close to keeping that promise. Unemployment at 5.9%? Try over 12% if you use the same methodology used in the beginning of 2009. You want folks to forget that more people leave the work force than find jobs each month. You want folks to forget that this is the small workforce of the past 38 years. You want to pretend that when 9 million people quite looking for work during the past six years, that does not really count . . . . . so you all don't . . . . . . . . don't count them. And the stock market? Why is it at record highs when the country plods along at a 2.2% GDP growth rate. Why? Because of quantitative easing - anywhere from 85 billion to 55 billion of new money, each and every month. You all are a joke . . . . . . . . . but experts in deception and outright lying your way through each and every election. Good for the truth but come this November, you all are going to run smack dab into your own failures.
DeleteSmithson is a liar. He gets his BS from places like WND and Breitbart ... that he feeds from daily - the kings of BS conspiracy theories.
DeleteThe unemployment rate never includes those who have given up looking for work. This isn’t a shift in what defines our unemployment rate, this is how it has been calculated for quite some time. Employment numbers are from the same source which Republicans have used to saddle Obama record of job losses in his first year in office… and only his first year. So you can’t use a source to support your argument, then ignore that very same source when it no longer supports what you want to believe.
Typical deceptive pattern, used by Smithson.
"same methodology" includes using the same numbers. Bush maintained a 4.7% unemployment average with a consistent participation rate of 66%. Obama began his term with a 65.8% participation rate and now oversees a participation rate of 62.8%. That, my friend, represents a systemic change in methodology and those numbers all come from the Department of Labor. No lies here; just facts. While the recession influenced the participation rate, in 2009/2010, one would expect an upturn in participation in a job market that is supposed rebounding. Problem: DoL charts show the participation rate in free-fall. Obama continues to lose more people from the workforce than "jobs created" each month. Under Obama, the declining unemployment rate does not reflect an increase of those Americans looking and hoping for work. He has taken this once great nation into a welfare state with no influence on the world's stage, and only fools deny that fact.
