Hoovervilles=1933. Obamavilles=2009!

No. That may be the view of many here who seem quite defensive. I view the Obamavilles as an interesting cultural phenomena.

Shades of William Gibson's character "The Suit" - the Sprawl - The dystopic street society of Bladerunner. Where are we headed?

Back to an earlier failed assertion/snipe/insult:

Anyone read Grapes of Wrath?

You are an ideology-blinded person of apparently limited intellect. How very sad for you, and anyone unfortunate enough to be forced to deal with you in real life.

It is very interesting you would still continue to use the term "Obamaville" as if is a commonly accepted term despite it being considered by many here to be polemic biased nonsense.

Well apparently there are more things on Google that use it so apparently it's the "official phrase".

Yeah, you are a neutral person "just asking questions".:rolleyes:

So in other words he's JAQing off?

By all means. Locate a couple of shanty towns in Phil Gramm's back yard.

If an action that benefits a small class of citizens disproportionately causes misery to a larger disadvantaged class, the misery should be shared.
 
Oh, all right. But we get to put another one on Geithner's roof.
 
Using mhaze's logic, Obama is responsible for Hurricane Katrina.

That is, IF he is indeed blaming Obama on anything. So far it seems like he's been using a bot post generator...

The growing encampments led the city to place portable toilets and security guards near one area known as New Jack City, named after a dark and drug-filled 1991 movie. But that just attracted more homeless people.

Not one mention of "BarackBurgs". You are now left with lying and making things up. I can imagine you enjoying and gleefully waiting for more tent cities to pop up to justify your little ideological nonsense. Sad.
 
Hey mhaze, here's a little something for ya, buddy...

Outlook on Economy Is Brightening, Poll Finds
Americans have grown more optimistic about the economy and the direction of the country in the 11 weeks since President Obama was inaugurated, suggesting that he is enjoying some success in his critical task of rebuilding the nation’s confidence ...

I checked and this seems to be corroborated by Gallup. I suppose that's just because of Obama's government-powered mind-control machines, right? :rolleyes:
 
He doesn't care, he just likes to make unfounded attacks on Obama because, I guess, he doesn't like him for idealogical reasons.

When we see him call them "Bushvilles" or "Bushburgs" or even "Shruburbs" (thanks, Urban Dictionary) we'll know that something is terribly wrong.

Irrelevant. There has never been a subject that was less aligned with polls than the current economic situation. Now actual consumer purchasing data is of course an indicator.

The more people that suffer, the better for mhaze! Yay!

Actually, the psychology of the population is a big factor. Ever hear of a little something called consumer confidence? And, you know, psychology is what runs the stock market.

Sorry to burst your bubble there, ace.

If any data no matter how relevant does not support mhaze's ideology, therefore it is "irrelevant".

This fella will probably trumpet and credit Bush even as the economy recovers.

Sad...that you don't look and see what's right in front of you. From the web, a few hints of the emerging use of the phrase "Barackville". Does this rub you the wrong way? Gee..... Try a tent city.

now I'm starting to think some of those just might be named "Barackvilles"

The only good part of this economic calamity is that I can hope to one day watch the former employees of the NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC and Newsweek living in Barackvilles and lining up for soup kitchens.

The plan that will be announced on Monday is awful, another giveaway to investors. Be prepared to live in tent cities that well can be named "Barackvilles".

Thanks for the irrelevant spam that show you are unable to own up to the fact that not one of these tent cities is called Obama/Baracks-burg/ville or whatever nonsense you're trying to spew. You attempted that Obamaville nonsense and are now retreating from your OP. Nothing more than a sign of dishonesty and cowardice.

You are an ideologue and the only thing that rubs me the wrong way is the blatant stupidity of your posts. If you want to discuss Obama's policies, go ahead. Attempting this pathetic and very juvenile smear against Obama is truly pathetic.
