Obamo’s policies and lack of leadership skills have and are making this recovery much more difficult than need be. Obama needs to go and the quicker the better. If he was half a man he would resign like any CEO would under these circumstances. Too many people are hurting and Obama seems not to care.
In the past 29 months, 4 and 1/2 million jobs have been created under Obama. When he first took office, we lost about 4 million but that was under George W. Bush’s budget that endured into Obama’s presidency. And the national debt everyone is taking about, the 16 million? He walked into office with 10 million in debt and 400 billion in annual interest payments on debt that occurred that he had NOTHING to do with. Oh, and not to mention, GDP, the measure of our economy had shrunk a massive 9%. Its crazy to hold him accountable to fix this in 3 1/2 years, just crazy.
Women will make their voices heard in November. President Obama was more specific than Romney on details and Bill Clinton’s remarks killed the TEA-Libertarian-GOP-Republican-Evangelical ticket. Mitt Romney’s assertion that president Obama in in over his head is pure political poppycock! After watching PBS’ Frontline about the recession, I’m convinced Obama had more to do with saving the economy and jobs in America than people give him credit for. What is extraordinarily disappointing is Romney continuing his falsehoods about Medicare, his experience at Bain Capital and his not releasing his tax returns as his father did. There has been a steady uptick in jobs production by the private sector even without the direct assistance of the current 112th Congress. Real incomes and wages are not rising due to employer discretion as many are trying to keep their own profitability. Romney’s additional trying to hang the jobs numbers on the president is ludicrous as it’s the Congress’ responsibility to legislate jobs production atmosphere. Romney continues to lie about these issues and is making a mockery of his citizenship!
Lets not forget that more people are jobless, on food stamps, and dropped out of the work force than many have seen during their life times. Obama’s is a failure because he puts his leftest philosophy ahead of the American people. Obama’s economy is worse than Carters in many ways. I fail to see how any thinking American can support this extremist Democratic Party these days… They are too far left..
The so called “leftist policies” are the only thing we have to thank for not going completely down the tubes. Do you still think the rescue of the auto industry was a leftist, socialist takeover? When he took office, GDP had shrunk 9% and banks weren’t lending. So if consumers aren’t buying, and businesses aren’t investing, and we have long term drag on exports, what component of GDP is left? Thats right, its government spending. In the past 29 months, 4 1/2 million jobs have been created. The 4 million jobs that were lost occurred during his first months in office, before his policies were implemented,were mostly before his policies were implemented and under the Bush Budget. If you are going to make a claim that “its socialist policies” man-up and show us a chain of causality will ya!
Lets start with the so-called Romney Job Record. Fairly stated, there are two Romney’s at Bain. The first is the guy who coordinated venture capital into the eventual Staples of the world. Thats a good thing, and there is a very natural risk-reward relationship there. Then there is the “LBO era Romney” and that is very very far from a job creator, but instead, a job destroyer who invested in business the same way Pauley from GoodFellas invested in business. “Management fees” instead of “protection fees” and “Dividend recaps” instead of cases of Cutty Sark. Oh, and bankruptcy instead of arson. There is no “risk reward” relationship if Bain is paying itself equal to, or in excess of, its initial 5 million investment-and they did! Meanwhile, the companies are saddled with interest payments of 350 million in debt, have to layoff workers, and eventually go under. Bain had NO risk! NONE! When Romney made the statement, at the convention, that “there’s a lot greater risk in a startup than there is in acquiring an existing company”, he wasn’t kidding. Thousands of people lost their jobs, thousands. And running on a “jobs creation platform” while you destroyed thousands to line your own pockets doesn’t make you Andrew Carnegie, it makes you a legalized criminal unworthy to assume the office you are seeking. A very good article, loaded with examples can be found here:

Perhaps Mr Romney’s party will revalue my house back to the era before his colleague GW Bush and his GOP’s grand ol’ policies reduced my home’s worth by over 35%? I’m waiting, Mister R.
Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on the American people. It is comedy how the Obama supporters twist logic and lie about Obama’s dismal record while obfuscating the facts. What is worse is how the Connecticut media reports the DNC mantra.
My life is a WHOLE LOT better than it would have been if we had continued on the colossal downward slope we were on with the GOP policies!!!!
It looks like some people live a fairy tale.
why are gun sales surging after the DNC bounce? Smith and Wesson and Stearns Ruger are reporting significant increases. What is going on?
