When the positive news reports surrounding Mr. Obama are...how best to put it?...<i>total bullshit</i>, I despair about the public's ability to make an informed decision. And that's even assuming that the public <i>wants</i> to make an informed decision instead of just trying to steal whatever bribes Obama is offering them.<br /><br />I will say that though we're in an educated minority here...there are <i>always</i> more students than teachers in a classroom. So it's going to be up to those of us in the minority to spread the word and get clear, incontrovertible information to the majority. And if they don't understand, well, maybe we should start whonking them on the heads with wiffle bats.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-12058647194584730172011-06-04T13:53:40.330-05:002011-06-04T13:53:40.330-05:00You know, guys, even though Obama's record of ...You know, guys, even though Obama's record of actual accomplishment (for the GOOD of the country)...his record SHOULD be enough to lose him the election next year....yet....there's this sinking feeling I get like when I see him speaking at an auto plant touting the wonderful results of his stimulus spending...because I know TOO many people will believe it. I want him gone sooo badly, guess I am just afraid that, as in 2008, when I actually kinda felt a little sorry for him and his destructive ideas, thinking he is so far out there, he'll never make it....and then he did....well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens next year.

I have to laugh (you know, that ugly creepy laugh) that the media thinks the "recovery" is <i>starting</i> to weaken. These are the same morons who have claimed to be <i>surprised</i> by bad economic news every month since Obama was elected. And you're absolutely right that the mainstream media isn't seeing this story for the way it impacts Americans, but only Obama.<br /><br />And it's more than a theory that Obama believes that the private sector is <i>deliberately</i> refusing to hire in order to make him look bad. He's voiced such an opinion in the past, and his recent admonition that businesses need to "step up" confirms that he believes they're operating out of vindictiveness rather than financial necessity. So <i>of course</i> they're racists.<br /><br />@John the Econ- While it <i>looks</i> like the stimulus didn't work (and made things worse), the heavily revised calculations of how bad things <i>would</i> have been now seem to include plagues of locusts, widespread leprosy, and rivers changing to blood.<br /><br />@Pete(Detroit)- I'm with you. It's like a majority of people still can't answer the question <i>"If you have no money - what can you buy?"</i>Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-57252899520683253402011-06-04T08:10:20.862-05:002011-06-04T08:10:20.862-05:00What's astounding to me is the people who a) r...What's astounding to me is the people who a) refuse to accept that the deficit / debt (let's not EVEN get started on people who don't get the difference) is a problem, or b) don't think it's that BIG of a problem. <br />YeeshPete(Detroit)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-50046428048403606532011-06-04T07:16:21.720-05:002011-06-04T07:16:21.720-05:00Remember the quaint days when we were told that if...Remember the quaint days when we were told that if we didn't spend $800-billion we didn't have, we'd have 8% unemployment and <3% growth?

First is the old adage that it is an ill wind that blows no good. If the suffering of the economy and the people of this country can prevent the One's re-election, then it was worth it.<br /><br />Second is that the Media (and the One) see this as a problem for Obama. Not the people of the country. Not the unemployed and under-employed. Not the failing businesses. Just Obama.<br /><br />I'll bet Obama is of the belief that the private sector is DOING this to HIM on purpose because they hate HIM because, of course, they are racist.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-73150589111366404262011-06-04T02:14:04.313-05:002011-06-04T02:14:04.313-05:00@Suzy -
