    Yup! We have been in this mess for almost 5 years and things aren't getting better at all!

    Problem is there, has to be a consistent definition of what a Recession is otherwise we'd have afew million definitions...

    Sorry, To Bad...
    This one group of Economist, The NBER has been and still is the Official Economic Group that decides these economic downturns....

    Its called Standards.. A Baseline, Bench Test..

    Obama's only been President less then 4, misplaced anger?

    I am not mad at the president really. I wasn't trying to blame Pres. Obama.
    I never wrote I was mad at him or anything.
    P.S. I am an Independent.

    With a total debt of over $57.004 Trillion per U.S. Debt Clock http://www.usdebtclock.org/ which is scary enough but consider that all of Europe is having problems with only $3.289 Trillion. Our credit rating down from AAA to AA-. unemployment at 15%, middle class income continues to go down The median household income in 2009 is $46,326.
    The median household income in 2010 is $41,673. The median household income in 2011 is $40,630. Now what will it be at the end of 2012? What is the true debt? http://www.truthin2010.org/. How we can keep from going into a depressor is hard to say. We do need jobs by the millions and we need them right now. We need to cut federal government expenses in no less than half. We can do this by getting rid of many of the departments that are doubled or quadrupled doing the same thing. Abolish the Department of Education, NLRB, EPA, Energy and Agriculture, not our military, because we will need it with the way the middle east is acting up. Tell Congress to stop their spending on Senate Hair Care Revolving Fund”, Senate Restaurant Fund, Senate Health And Fitness Facility, Official Mail Costs, Senate, Senate Gift Shop Revolving Fund, go here for the full cost and story, http://realitybloger.wordpres...

    I couldn't find the part where the article claimed we are on a verge of a Depression, the NBER is the only officail economic board in the US that determines these issues, I know quite afew of you can't grasp that simple fact but tough crap... Its a fact..

    I did find this sadly amusing;
    "If you haven’t notice, our economic inequality is at levels last seen since the Great Depression".

    Our politicains and the wealthy have been doing this since the 80's.. Killing the middle-class and increasing the gap between the haves and the have nots... Mitt wants to put it into overdrive....

    Our Country is no more Socialist then it was before..

    Religious opinions cloud the Equality..

    Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.
    Few were listening.
    The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'.
    From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11 : 48 : 04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
    General Bill Gann' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
    The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
    During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".
    NOW GET THIS !!
    'Senator Obama replied :
    "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
    (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
    Obama continued : "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that ...

    Obama continued : "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.
    It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ......"

    When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".

    we are already in one are we not?? how does the govt keep spending,spending and going to war when very few are paying any taxes? and the salaries of these non reps of the people need to be cut too as well as their retirement funds. politics should be a civic duty. not the 2st rung on the ladder of nobility and wealth.

    Maybe it would be a good thing is obie won re-election:

    Downside: We may not survive as a free country

    Upside: If we do survive, will never see another democratic president in office


    It would be on hell of a gamble

    My brother who is 20 years me elder says the same thing. If the Mayan prophecy doesn't hold true, a second Obama term would bring a complete makeover of the USA, one that I would be unwilling to live with. Hard-leftists being appointed to the SCOTUS by dictate, no US Congress validation would be necessary in a 2nd Obama term. And then, that's just for starters.
