OT: American Politics

[MindzEye]

If that's all you've got today, Obeezy must be doing alright.

People must have short memories. Do they remember what the economy was like 4 years ago?

In comparison with most of the western world, America is doing okay.

But they need jobs.

I would like to contribute. I have a few positions I need help with.

I was considering hiring a couple of Filipino "care givers" but I'm open to suggestion.

 

[MindzEye]

Yep, Americans need jobs...but they're entirely against the type of massive government expenditure required. The U.S labour market, as it has existed simply isn't capable of providing the type of low skill, high wages jobs that fueled it's growth in the 50's. The Asians started chipping away at that market share in the 70's and aren't giving it back. Too many of them willing to work for too litte. The U.S needs a major reinvestment in engineering & hard sciences with massive government subsidies thrown at U.S born kids willing to enter those fields. But this is a generational problem that doesn't have a quick fix...and American's don't want to hear that. It ****s with their exceptionalism complex a little too much.

Apparently Obama has sealed up the crack headed moron vote. The fact that he has time for this nonsense just makes him look foolish. Meanwhile the bad economic news just keeps rolling.

Good thing he didn't spend as much time as they did on his birth records...

simple solution:

So the government's ready to sell off it's 53% share of AIG that they took on in their "bailout", and they expect to make a 20% profit.

To those GOPs already throwing Romney under the bus, he still gives them a shot, however slim. Can you imagine Santorum or Newt becoming the President?

Santorum would start a new government agency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

i stopped reading right here. if you believe that to create jobs you need "massive gov't expenditure", you're beyond reasoning with.

Explain yourself.

It'll be a month tomorrow since we found out Paul Ryan was the vice presidential nominee and we already know his favourite bands and exactly what they think of him. What's the difference?

The death threat part. Obama campaign thuggery losing their minds.

That's what happens when your shop is in a red county.

Yes, things are that polarized in many parts of the country. The Dems do the same thing in California.

....Rush Limbaugh disagreed, “if Obama wins, it’s the end of the Republican Party.”

“There’s going to be a third party that’s going to be orientated towards conservatism — or Rand Paul thinks libertarianism,” he continued. “If Obama wins, the Republican Party will try to maneuver things so conservatives get blamed. The only problem is right now, Romney is not running a conservative campaign.”

“But they’re going to set it up, ‘Well, the right sat home, the right made Romney be other than he is.’ They’ll try to deflect the blame, but they got who they want,” he said of the Republican Party’s selection of Mitt Romney for president......

For once I hope Rush is right.

 

[Habsy]

If he were 46, I would have sworn that was Habsy.

Pffft, I'm legal man. No water on this back.

 

[Habsy]

Unfairly loaded question. Everyone knows it was Reagan's heroics that pulled it off...

Damn right.

 

[axlsalinger]

I wouldn't worry about it. He never is.

To create 10 jobs you don't, to create 1,000,000 jobs? You absolutely do. To think otherwise is being naive. If you want to create jobs quickly you throw money into infrastructure. It's tried and true.
