<<<< You should know that Obama won election with a 65% approval rating, dropped into the mid 40 percentile bracket before the winter of his first year in office (2009), and has remained in the mid-40 percentile for three full years since that time . . . . . . the worst presidential average of any president in American history.
"I don't think there's voter disappointment. I think
voters understand, Candy, we've been through a traumatic economic experience in
our country, unlike anything we've ever seen. Voters understand it took us
years and years of tremendously bad decisions, by running up huge debts and
providing huge tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires that didn't create
jobs. And they understand that it's going to take us a while to get out of that
mess," Robert Gibbs said on CNN's "State of the Union" today.
Editor’s
notes: understand that the
largest Bush deficit before the 2009 fiscal year, was less than $500 billion. In fact,
if we roll all of the TARP spending into Bush’s last fiscal year
(2009), his average annual deficit was
$440 billion. Obama is the first and
only president to average 1.2 trillion per year, three times that of Bush. His average monthly unemployment number is
well over 8.3 percent compared to the Bush average of 5.3 percent including
2008 and a full blown recession. Obama
talks about 29 months of continual job growth,
4.5 million jobs created, without
mentioning the fact that this number is not “net/net,” that there are actually 300,000 less jobs
than in 2009, that Bush saw 52 months of
continual growth in our national production (GDP), an American record not seen [even] in the
Clinton years.
All of these numbers are skewed since all the growth under Bush was based on lies. The economic growth was all based on an economy that didn't exist. Then when the shit finally hit the fan Bush was out the door. While Obama may not have figured out a way to get us all the way out of the recession a return to Bush policies is the last thing we need. A vote for Romney is a vote to return to Bush's failed policies. If I stole all of your money would you take responsibility for being broke? Well Bush stole the money and went home and now the Republicants want to blame it on Obama.
ReplyDeleteRomney will rip the country off far deeper than the Bushes could ever dream. Romney is gearing up for the biggest pay day any business man could imagine if he wins. Given his remarkable history of saddling companies with enormous debts and walking away with the big payday we can only hope he gives the country a little lubrication before he puts it in.

Paul the Economist and Researcher Par-Excellente' has spoken. On Romney, you simply do not know what you are talking about. 90% of all of Bain's capital investments were and are successful. Sports Authority, Home Depot, Staples, Burger King, more than 80 other big name companies use Bain Capital for pension investments and the expansion of their investment capital. But, this is all confusing to you, no doubt, since you think "investment" means "spending" and the rest of us know that "investment" is a process where wealth is created and grown.
ReplyDeleteYou're like a little kid, all pissed off because someone has something you want but will never have.
Do you know where Bain's investment cash comes from? Of course you don't. It's funds are union retirement capital and teacher legacy cash. Sure, Romney's made millions for himself, but he has made billions for Democrat retirement funds, nationwide, or is this something you and the Stoners think is a fantasy, as well, genius?
