    By 2016 it will have taken our fascist president only 8 years to complete a 2-year job.

    And that's assuming the economy really is back to normal which is far from a certainty.

    If he really was a fascist and didn't have to deal with conservatives it might have only taken him 2 years. Though I doubt many objective people would agree it was reasonable to expect the economy to fully recover in 2 years after the worst recession in 80 years.

    And the cons will still be the losers.
    You forget that the average voter is still way smarter than the typical right-winger, and they aren't falling for all the lies and chicken little hysterics that the cons have tried to trot out in the past four years.

    the first Q 2010 and 1st Q 2012 was almost twice as good. Still dragging along the bottom I see.

    Obama had 2 years of absolute Democrat power and did not get the job done.

    Even were that true, which it is not, that doesn't give him fascist powers to dictate his own preferences. If he did, the stimulus would have been larger with more emphasis on spending and less on tax cuts.

    But even with those limitations, in his first two years the economy stopped tanking, turned around, and started growing again.

    No, but he's working on it.

    Fascist dictators hate a free press and while Obama has 90% of the lib media in his back pocket he's trying to destroy the remaining 10% that he doesn't control.

    If he succeeds that will be a big help should he decide he wants to be Dear Leader for life.

    If the GOP are obstructing Obama's efforts to leave more debt for the next generation to pay off then the Repubs are doing God's work.

    It is an unholy, demonic party you support, if that is your criteria. The Republican party is responsible for a great portion of the debt, including Ron, George and George.

    Soooooooo, the cost of housing is going up by 10.9 %, food is estimated to jump to 3.5%, and Gas is almost double what it was when Obama took office, and wages are down. Sounds a lot more like inflation than recovery. Anyone remember Jimmy Carter?

    Right now it is Obama who is the big borrow and spender.

    Obama inherited the biggest recession in 80 years and a projected $1.2 trillion deficit that soon jumped to a $1.9 trillion projection.

    This year, the deficit is estimated to come in at $642 billion, less than half of what it was in 2009, as Obama pledged.

    I'll stand that record up against any recent Republican president.

    It that the lie lib public teachers will brainwash kiddies in the future with?

    Shame on them and you.

    Bush had already stopped the crash with TARP.

    Obama had his stimulus but most of it was wasted money spent on crap such as teaching African men how to clean their penis and did little to help the US economy.

    Of course. Because there was no Great Recession. It was all just liberal propaganda to give free money to 8 million Americans who decided to get lazy and live of those luxurious welfare benes at the same time.

    Conservatives make sense. If you ignore reality.

    The Republican party, as it exists today, needs to self-destruct. They are falling head over heals trying to be the same party as the Democrats...see Amnesty. They need to self-destruct and become the party of the Whites and "makers".......draw a line in the sand.....no more illegals......cut back on the ridiculous entitlement programs return to a pre-1965 immigration policy, etc. Also, become isolationist.......see Pat Buchanan.....no more sending our kids off to be killed in foreign lands while we allow an invasion from the South. Whites are still a majority of the voting population.....the Repubs need to reinvent themselves and energize this base. Blacks and aztec/mayans will never vote for them....why pander to them?

    I can't tell if some of this is serious or joking. In either scenario, I'd rather see the Republicans stick around. The problem with this country is too many folks are being brought up being groomed by the government school system. Tack that on that the media begin to label the Republicans as racist's & bigot's, the country isn't for that. Enter the Democrats, who make it seem like they only want to cradle everyone, more folks go for them.

    In my opinion, I'd rather see the Democrats, Republicans, and all of the other third party political parties be in the fray. Obviously, I'm biased and would tip my hat more so towards the Libertarian party, but I'm willing to welcome all third party folks. Let folks know what's out there, don't suppress their message. Allow them to freely enter all ballots, allow them to be on all major political debate floors, let the American public see who they have to vote for. Again, I don't see this as an ultimate win, but I think it's a move towards the right direction.

    I would say that a much bigger problem with the White vote is the liberal self-loathers........the term "limousine liberal" comes to mind. They adopt black babies.....give their money to anti-white organizations......vote for folks who want to redistribute White wealth to the non-producers......and, of course, but Obummer in office......it makes them feel better.....they loath their real cousins who are poor......and could care less if they starved in the streets as long as "people of color" are taken care of and glorified.

    I don't believe that the economy is coming back. I think what this is a cause from the Federal Reserve buying up all of the bonds, through their quantitative easing program, that is allowing rates to be low. Hence, more folks are getting back into the housing market, because the rates are low. Tack that on that this will give folks more confidence in buying up stocks, that's why the stock market is on a bubble. Plus, more money is being handled more so on the top 1% than in any of the other areas.

    So, I'd rather not stake a claim on the economy booming when you have the elitist running this country, politically & economically.

    I am very serious about this. The New Republican party needs to come out and set the agenda. One of the major proposals should be that it is cultural suicide, as well as an end to the Republic, if we allow this country to become a minority white country. Our immigration policy ought to be altered accordingly. It doesn't take a brilliant mind to look around the globe and see which races can actually perpetuate a functioning country/society......and which can not. See Haiti, Rwanda, Guatemala, Detroit..... versus Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, etc.......just look around and take notes. We simply must secure a functioning society for our children's future.......and that goes for blacks and whites.......instinctively blacks know this as well. That's why they want to move to White neighborhoods and send their kids to White schools.....but not vice versa.

    The partial housing recovery is due to the FACT that the Federal Reserve is continuing to keep interest rates so low....by continuing to buy bonds. Those are nothing but I.O.U.'s. They are keeping inflation artificially low....and that will ultimately blow up in our faces.

    The real jobless rate is still above 10% in most states. Not mine, of course. My state, run by Republicans, is well below the national average. Everybody still knows friends and relatives who are out of work.....not for months, but for a couple years. And the college graduates do NOT have the rosy future ahead of them right now.....as previous generations had.
    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100691168

    And while Obama was so concerned with Americans For Prosperity in 2010.....and wondered out loud if they were foreign-owned.....under his presidency, foreigners now hold more than $13 trillion in American securities. A virtual explosion in foreigners ownership.
    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100695176

    Inflation is bound to take place eventually....and it won't be pretty. Already, we are realizing inflation at the gas pumps and especially the grocery stores. Ask any woman who shops, how much her grocery bill has increased.

    And a serious pull back in the stock market is just a matter of time.
