You are one of the few clueless idiots that still doesn't see that Obama is killing jobs faster than they can be created.

reply
chgo to DJL 2012/05/10 02:32:49

Even with this anemic recovery, the economy under Obama has replaced all of the jobs lost under the Bush administration, clueless idiot.

reply
DJL to chgo 2012/05/10 02:40:57

The last unemployment report stopped counting 500,000 people that should have been counted. Obama's jobs numbers are as fake as his birth certificate. There is no recovery.

Please ignore the comment from the sock puppet known as chgonugget. Evidently being paid by Soros is the highlight of his career. You have my sympathy. I've been there. I have renewed understanding of why the Great Depression haunted my parents. On the other hand, many of the liberal comments come across as smug. It just demonstrates how little real caring exists on the liberal side. I don't like to see anyone unemployed. I don't like to see anyone having to go through this kind of struggle.

The stock market rising is a fallacy,and it will fall hard soon. Fake monopoly money can only carry the market so long before failure emerges.

Please keep thinking that. The market tends to rise when there is lots of pessimism and tends to fall when there is a lot of optimism. So keep that pessimism coming.

Yeah, keep investing in Chinese businesses like so many other liberals. They have a bigger bubble than ours ever was.

reply
ehrhornp to TruBluT... 2012/05/10 03:34:27

lol, tell me the logic of borrowing big bucks off Chinese farmers? GW started this when no need really existed. Obama has to borrow because we were entering an economic black hole. Your hypocrisy is showing.

Well explain to me how Obama persists in allowing foreign workers to usurp jobs in middle class concerns like accounting and engineering. Also it would be nice to know how blind those blind trusts really are. What for example would happen if the price of Brazilian crude skyrocketed and Obama just happened to have bought commodities futures on a tip from his good friend George? That's insider trading.

reply
ehrhornp to TruBluT... 2012/05/11 16:22:14

Tell me what control does Obama have over businesses hiring practices? Would love to see your source for foreign workers usurping jobs in middle class concerns.

Blind trusts have always been a problem. Remember Cheney and Halliburton?

Those visas were part of a program that started in 1965?

So under LBJ. Still a Democrat program.

No I am not. 4 years ago I owned a business and I worked 70 to 80 hours a week. I was busy but made some money about 150k. Today I no longer have the business. I work part time on the internet for minimum wage. Last year I made 6k. I went from middle class to poor in those 4 years. I am lucky though I do not owe anything, But I still do not have anything either.

ehrhornp to Theresa 2012/05/12 01:18:54

Of course GW's crashing of the economy didn't have anything to do with you going out of business. I have been able to maintain my business and am enjoying the stock market coming back from the Bush lows.

reply
Theresa to ehrhornp 2012/05/12 02:47:41

Actually I survived that crash but it was the problems which the Usurper put into place which was my death Knell!

reply
ehrhornp to Theresa 2012/05/12 02:54:49

And what problems were those? The usurper was GW Bush who stole the 2000 election. But what can you really expect when a party follows socialism for the rich.

Theresa to ehrhornp 2012/05/12 03:03:13 (edited)

No The Usurper is someone who is supposed to be only the Chief Executive but Usurps power from Congress and the Supreme Court. Like enforcing Un ratified treaties. Such as LOST and Kyoto or Agenda 21! That is who the Usurper is! You have it all wrong. Crony capitalism has flourished in the last 3 years. The goverment picking winner and losers. Does the GM debacle sound familiar? The winners in that one was the UAW. The losers were anyone who was a republican and held their bonds. otr anyone who had one of their dealership taken away from them. But I digress there are countless other examples of Crony capitalism done by this present administration. Or what about the Green Energy frauds! Those were done explicitly to payback his political backers. Billions of loans defaulted. The money absconded!

ehrhornp to Theresa 2012/05/12 04:42:59

Like GW did? GW was suppose to go back to congress for final approval for Iraq but he didn't. As a result many died and were wounded. GW was suppose to get approval to spy on people but he didn't. Dumb democrats allowed him to get away with it by passing a law after the fact.

A shame you are quick t to dismiss climate change. I guess when the polar ice caps are gone and the average temperature is gone, well you might just change your mind.

Also a shame you think might makes right is the best plan for America. All that does is feed the military industrial complex which will destroy this country just as it did the old soviet Union.

reply
Theresa to ehrhornp 2012/05/12 05:30:46

No he did not need to get any other approval. The war never ended with a treaty or an armistice. All Iraq did was violate the terms of a cease fire. So after being tired of those violations the War was resumed.

That is funny Climate changes only when there is a fluctuation from the Sun Output. You are wrong to think the ice caps are leaving. They are as big as they were in the 1940's which is before all this Global Warming nonsense.

Actually it is a Left which does the Crony capitalism the best. They are the bigger crooks. Witness the GM debacle, The Green Energy Scams. You do know 90% of all windmills are now stopped due to bird deaths? The billions scammed by the Solar energy crowd.
