Question for Obama Supporters

That's what happens when every "jobs" bill is really a spending bill, and Republicans have proposed several bills to stimulate growth. It's stupid to continue to blame Republicans when we've had a president who has had control of both houses of Congress for most of his term and didn't use that time to ratchet up the economy. Democrats controlled both houses from 2006-2010 and you want to blame Republicans. Admit it, you're a hack.

 

Obama had a democratic house and a democratic senate for two years, but, in those two years, the senate had enough RINOS that went along with republican filibusters so as to make claims of Obama having a supportive senate a bit disingenuous. After two years, the senate is far too close to evenly divided to get anything passed when the republican leader has stated that he wants Obama to fail... and the GOP house has certainly not lived up to ITS billing as being able to get anything accomplished.

 

That's how you get out of a recession where spending is down. You increase government spending. So essentially what you said is republicans will block all stimulus bills that cause any stimulus. That's why they haven't come up with any of their own jobs bills. Because you can't create jobs without increasing spending. It can't be done in this economic climate.

 

I think that this is a reasonable answer as to why Obama supporters continue to support him. Do any republicans care to comment?

 

Actually, it's what you get when the WH attaches all kinds of new spending to the jobs bill they want you to pass.

Gets shot down everytime.

 

The discussion really isn't about making more excuses for Obama's poor performance. The question is... why is voting for Obama more important to you than Americans who are suffering under his policies?

Oh wait, you don't even live in this country, do you?

Nevermind, you really don't have a clue... which is the real reason you'll be voting for Obama again.

 

Taking money away from those who produce jobs and spending it on silly governmental programs cost us more jobs then it creates.

 

see post #255.

and if expatriates didn't have a clue, or, more importantly, a stake in America, why do you think that they let us vote?

 

Seems kinda dumb to me... but then again, there's no IQ test for a voters registration card, so why should expatriates be any different than allowing dull-normal folks to vote?

#255... you're providing a 'big picture' response to a specific question. Why would you vote for 4 more years of suffering for the American people?

 

1. because I don't believe that Romney could stop the suffering any faster than Obama.
2. because according to my sources in the states, both family and friends, the economy is on the rebound and getting better all the time.
3. because, as I stated in #255, a vote for Romney is a vote that shifts the course or this nation down a path that I do not approve of.

 

Well, guess you better plan on staying in Mexico, dear, cuz we're heading down that Romney path in 66 more days.

David Axlerod said today Obama's campaign focus will be on rebuilding the middle class and the economy. Which is funny considering Barack's policies are what crushed the middle class and sunk the economy.

Sure hope he comes up with some specifics that don't cost billions of dollars. We're broke, you know?

 

I am planning on staying in Mexico no matter who wins the election

You predict a Romney victory? I guess we'll all find out here soon enough. Will you head just explode if Obama wins again, or what?

 

You can call it whatever you like but the fact is, what you're doing is manipulation. Don't take my word for it. You must know someone with more than a rudimentary grasp of the english language who will explain your writing to you.

Good that you phrased that as a question. Frankly, I'm not all that crazy about Obama but despite my misgivings, he is the only rational choice. You don't have any idea why I responded to this thread. You seem to make a lot of baseless assumptions.

You've made another baseless assumption. I am concerned about the middle class. That's one of the main reasons I am against vultures like Romney and Ryan whose only loyalty is to the top 1%. Romney and Ryan are heros of the party and of the billionaires that caused our current economic problems and who continue to profit from our economic problems.

Do you actually believe that Romney and Ryan will help the middle class? Do you care about the middle class? Do you care about blacks? A Romney/Ryan victory will devastate both those groups and turn America into a third world country.

If a vote for Obama = suffering for the black community, a Romney/Ryan victory will mean catastrophic pain for the black community.

 

There are so many reasons to never vote for Republicans that it's really irrelevant what Obama does, but he isn't doing anything terrible despite all the lies from dirtbag republicans here who are just dying to bankrupt and enslave all of us despite their fake cries of concern. Ryan's plan to kill Social Security is reason enough to never vote for them.

When you have a country like ours that spends over a trillion dollars a year on arms, on the so-called "war on terror", the so called "war on drugs" on so called "homeland security", it is the center of the economy. When individual corporations become larger that many countries and when they spend unlimited sums to own the media, to buy legislators, to influence congress, legislatures and the judiciary, there is no "free enterprise."

And then there are those that understand that the economy is actually being directed by the corporations and the financial institutions and the billionaires whose only goal is to make as much money as possible with whatever stratagem they can invent regardless of the destructive effect on the environment, the economy and the American people.

Obama never demonized business. One of the main reason we have these problems is his failure to prosecute the criminality in the financial sector.

BECAUSE WHAT REPUBLICANS SAY IS, "THE WORST ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN HISTORY" IS AN ECONOMY THEY CREATED OVER 8 YEARS IN CONTROL AS PRESIDENT AND 2 YEARS IN CONTROL IN OBAMAS CONGRESS. OBAMA DID GREAT GIVEN WHAT HE WAS HANDED. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEh1ODkdn14 E N D T H R E A D

 

Ah, ducking out of the fray. Since you aren't being affected by American policies why should anyone listen to your opinion. From now on, I'm going to make a hobby out of reminding people that you live in Mexico every time I see you bashing America.

 

Since nearly every penny of my income is generated in the US, I most certainly AM affected by American policies... and, you'd better not hold your breath waiting for me to bash America, because I never have and never will. Make a hobby instead of reminding people that I served in the US Navy for a quarter of a century keeping you and your ignorant ilk safe.

 

So maybe it won't be necessary to watch the Dems dog & pony show to see if Obama plans to do anything different to help the middle class. Obviously, he doesn't think it's necessary. The man is seriously out of touch.

​

 

Income generated in the US and spent in Mexico doesn't exactly make you a patriot, sir. Sounds like standard liberal 'I've got mine to hell with yours' attitude.

Thank you for your service. Surprising you'd serve 25 yrs, then move to a foreign country. Go figure liberals.

 

Thats pretty smart, never thought of it. American money is devalued, but still high compared to mexican money.

If its not Juarez, maybe cancun, or a more peaceful mexican area thats not a bad idea to whether the economic storm.

 

I was questioning his patriotism, not his intellect.
