President Obama created 8 million jobs in 56 months without any help from the Republicans.

Just thought I would mention that here today.
Because it is a fact that can't be denied!!

That was one of the highlights from President Obama's year end press conference that he gave on Friday.
Of course, the mainstream media doesn't want to talk much about how President Obama saved America from the Great Recession, and pulled us away from the edge of the abyss that was caused by Bush's stupid failed economic policies.
And while President Obama was creating all those jobs, at the same time he cut the deficit in half, but you won't hear much about that from the Andrea Mitchells of the world.

So, you may want to focus your energy next year towards getting the obstructionist Republicans out of Congress in 2014 if you want to see even more jobs get created.

There were 4 houses on my block that went empty back in 2008, all of them were foreclosed on by the freakin' banks.

One of those neighbors had just moved in to his house the year before in 2007, and I was just getting to know him a little bit.
Then one day the next summer he left, and I never saw him again.
A few days later, there was an official looking notice tacked to his front door.

It took almost a year before someone else moved in to that house.
By now, all of those same 4 houses have new families living in them.

I could have saved this much. most likely, back in the 90's when Republicans called it Hilliarycare. These morons only have a job because the Koch brothers give them the money to run against the middle-class. They'd go broke with small donor middle-class donations funding their campaigns. They are a friggen' joke, sadly the rubes haven't figured it out after 40 friggen' years.
