For Those Blaming The President for the current State of the Economy
For those Blaming The President for the current State of the Economy...

Confucius
says...." It takes much longer to REBUILD a house...
than it does to burn it down.....

(and you don't re-elect the ones that smell like gasoline). "

GOTV !

Well...confession...Confucius didn't say this...I did....
but feel free to share.

2. We need a a massive WPA JOBS program...
A moratorium on foreclosures to allow people to stay in their homes while they go thru bankruptcy court.

Quit NAFTA and stop Offshoring to China.

We need someone who is on the side of the American people.. not Wall Street.

When this happens... get back to me...

4. Several months ago, it was being debated on this forum
and several others, whether or not the repukes would obstruct the President's Economic Recovery plans and keep millions of Americans out of work just so they could argue the case that the President's Economic Policy doesn't work.

A lot of people didn't believe that the repukes could be that cruel and heartless, to hurt working Americans this way intentionally..........but I knew better. And here we are today. With some people on this very forum spouting repuke talking points about how President Obama has done enough to FIX things!

If and when the Dems become the minority party on capital hill, I hope that they will practice the TRUE obstruction that they have been witniess to these last 18 months.

The republicans are PIGS but they know how to push around a Democratic President. Heaven help us if the repukes win subpoena power with the next set of elections............

7. Have Timmy and Larry been replaced? Been busy today and

It's still about the jobs.

8. He has had ample opportunity to do the right thing..
and, in fact, he wasted no time handing trillions to the corrupt financial sector.

When does he plan to start rebuilding the house? From where I sit, the time to act has likely passed. He's a lame duck until 2012.

10. I blame Bush for 9/11
He was told that al-Qaeda was going to use airplanes to crash into the World Trade Center a month before it happened, and he did nothing.

11. I am blaming Obama for putting Goldman Sachs in charge of the economy
That is not congress or the senate's fault that's Barack Obama's fault.

12. here here!!!
Obama did not set the barn on fire, Bush did. When the housing bubble was growing at an alarming rate he patted himself on the back and told us his tax cuts was allowing the greatest homeownership rates in history. But it was all fake and forged just like everything else in his failed administration.

13. I don't blame him for it
I blame him for putting the same kind of people in charge of his policy who created the mess in the first place.
