Simmering Frog 2012/05/29 00:08:45Undecided+12First off, the choices are absurd. Where is the "no" option? Second, Obama is not getting re-elected. He is far too corrupt for America to take him as a serious candidate.






















How about a real opinion this time. Who would you rather have in office instead of Obama? There is an election coming up, you know. There are people running in it. There are also those who are more qualified but are not running in this election.

Conditions do not have to be so harsh on the general population.
Remember the LA Riots in '92?
It began with very boring legislation, more deregulation of our banking system. No one was paying attention.
GHW Bush passed banking deregulation legislation that allowed the takeover of regional financial and banking industry, laying off large numbers across the country over a couple years. as operations were concentrated in the northeast.
Then GHW Bush, eager to halt spending on Reagan's modernisation of the military abruptly cancelled all aerospace and defense contracts, effective immediately in 1990. Penalties were paid by Bush for breach of contracts to the corporations, their workforces we're discharged. No one was hiring.
Then Bush downsized the military by about 25%.

Then 29 April '92 we had the LA Riots erupt in South Central.
Friday evening, President George H.W. Bush spoke to the nation, denouncing "random terror and lawlessness. Citing the "urgent need to restore order", he warned that the "brutality of a mob" would not be tolerated, and he would "use whatever force is necessary".
Vice President Dan Quayle blamed the violence on a "Poverty of Values" –"I believe the lawless social anarchy which we saw is directly related to the breakdown of family structure, personal responsibility and social order in too many areas of our society."
Later in a article in Commentary called "How the Rioters Won", the columnist Midge Decter referred to African-American city youths and asked " How is it possible to go on declaring that what will save the young men of South-Central L.A., and the young girls they impregnate, and the illegitimate babies they sire, is jobs? How is it possible to look at these boys of the underclass ... and imagine that they either want or could hold on to jobs?"
Bush failed to be re elected that November. Everybody said it was just his bad luck to have this little recession just before the election.
Those darn Republicans.
