Obama gave a great speech today punching the GOP right between the eyes. He pointed out that it was the GOP and it's ideology that led to the great recession. That it was their economic policies that we tried that brought our country to the toilet. He pointed out that they want to implement the same, failed policies again if they get into power. The GOP is the reason the democrats have had a very hard time getting anything done. That despite this, the DNC has done quite a bit.

It's about time, President. I hope you keep this up, as we need your leadership to keep the party of no out of office and to keep this country on it's upward trend. We need you to remind the people that it was the GOP who wrecked the car but is trying to blame the accident on the DNC. To remind the people that the GOP should not have the keys again until they learn responsibility. Thank you, Obama, and do NOT take your fighting gloves off.
 
Ah, yes, "It's THEIR fault! Not ours!"

How's hope and change coming along again? :rolleyes:

Current unemployment rate 9.6%
When Bush 43 left office it was 8%

The Democrats have controlled Congress since January 2007.
7 million people have lost their jobs since the Democrats took over Congress.


The Republican POTUS and Republican controlled Congress budget had a deficit of $160 billion. The Democrat POTUS and Democrat controlled houses, budget will close at a $1.6 trillion deficit.

Perhaps POTUS Obama should take off the kid gloves?

Unemployment was on a downward trend when Bush left. It's on an upward trend now. Try again, Cic.

Because the effects of change in policy/administration on the economy can always be seen IMMEDIATELY, right?
 
When Bush was in office, we were comfortably seated in a car speeding directly towards a brick wall.

But now that Obama is in office, our car has crashed.

Thanks a lot Obama!

And it was not until after he was packing his bags that we realized how badly the Shrub had screwed up the ecconomy.

Accounting trick. They didn't include the money that the Shrub was stuffing down the rat hole in Iraq. Not to worry too much. One of Shrubby's biggest dirty tricks runs out in a couple months and the fat and useless class will have to start paying reasonable taxes again. that and the stand-down in Iraq should help.

Don't be silly. Obama has done absolutely nothing!! *sarcasm*

But seriously there's still some people out there that have the nerve to claim Obama has done "nothing". I wonder how much he has to do before his opponents admit he has done "something" (regardless if they agree with what he's done or not).

A "major" victory would involve embracing that we were wrong to go in the first place.

For me, this speech and increasingly more of the WH words sound like electioneering, whereas the actions of WH lawyers and administration policy decisions seem a little too much like Bush-lite for my tastes and rational thoughts,...but worse, and a little bit less worse are about the only candidates the media will allow to compete for our votes, or so it seems.

And that's why we have to keep the tax cuts for the top 2%, right?

...right?:boggled:

Face it, "Conservative" Republicans only care about budget deficits when they're not setting the legislative agenda. Once they win the White House they inevitably increase the size of government and run massive deficits.
It happened under Reagan. It happened under Bush II and it'll happen under the next Republican president, whoever that may be.
