- HE'S BEEN IN OFFICE FOR 6 MONTHS!!!! FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! HE WAS HANDED 2 WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGANASTAN, NOT TO MENTION A PANDEMIC, IRAN, N.KOREA, A FAILING HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, A HOUSING AND CREDIT CRISIS AND AN ECONOMIC METLTDOWN NOT SEEN IN 80 YEARS! DO PEOPLE REALLY THINK THIS WAS ALL GOING TO BE CLEARED UP IN 6 MONTHS. AS FAR AS THE STIMULOUS IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN SPENT YET. THEY'VE SPENT 40 BILLION OUT OF THE 750. AND WHATS BEEN SPENT HAS SAVED MANY JOBS FOR COPS, TEACHERS, FIREMEN AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS. I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO LET THE MAN DO HIS JOB.

- I like my freedoms and want to make sure I an still entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Pursuit of Happiness. Don't forget The American Dream that is being replaced by the American Scheme that Obama & Czars have substituted for The Working Stiffs, as Arnold would call us. The Cap & Trade Scheme, Tax & Spend Scheme, Bailout Schemes, GW Scheme, Etc. All Designed Schemes thought up by this Administration so that THE American People can pursue the rest of our working days paying for Schemes. Providing any jobs remain or become available. So Sad! - Reply to this comment
- A couple things...
1. Just because someone critcizes Obama, does not automatically make them a racist. I happy to see we have come so far in this country that a man of color has finally made it to the white house. However, as my president, as all before, we have the right to critcize and question. I like my freedoms and want to make sure I an still entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
2. I think that the Democrats have good ideas, but things are moving too quickly. I think there plan is to get in all legislation before November so the balance of power doesn't shift againest them. Slow down and think it through! We don't need new policies and taxes that will hurt the American people.
3. I get every M-F and drag my butt into work. I have a white-collar job and let me tell you I work hard to keep the sales of small company afloat. I want to help out my fellow man who is less fortunate than I am, but I don't want to help people who will not help themselves. Let's find ways to help the less fortunate get on their feet without the taxpayers paying for their lifestyle. In NC people on welfare get free cell phones!
4. Obama is not bringing us together as promised. His adminstration has no concept of what the recession is doing to the working man and raising my taxes isn't helping me! I am ready for some smart thinking in Washington. Bush wasn't great, but I am thinking Obama's policies may be worse.
5. What is up with not having the czars confirmed or even vetted? Ever heard of the constitution? CHECKS AND BALANCES! That is what our system of government was founded upon! - Reply to this comment

- Democrats are finally waking up and realizing what the rest of the nation already knew, your party duped you. They took a junior memeber of the party and elevated him to the top position, with no experience, and ran him for President. They knew they could control him, coupled him with a complete idiot, Nancy Pelosi, and allowed them to run wild. Democratic Party has achieved their desired goal, ushering in Socialism to America at an unprecedented level. They have all but wiped out the middle class. And have bankrupted this nation for decades to come. This is a change we could have done without.

- 10 Reasons Employment Is Worse Than You Think
From The Business Insider, July 14, 2009:
Mort Zuckerman (of all people) has an op-ed in today's WSJ explaining why the jobs situation, which is quite clearly horrific, is even worse than you think.
Here are his points, condensed
* 185,000 workers in the June number were the product of statistical sampling, but could not be verified by the government.
* Companies are asking employees to take unpaid leave.
* 1.4 million unemployed workers weren't counted because they're not searching for work.
* Part-time employment has doubled to 9 million.
* The work week is 48 minutes shorter than when the recession began.
* The number of long-term unemployed (4.4 million) is at an all-time high.
* There were no wage gains in June.
* The goods-producing sector lost over 223,000 jobs just in June.
* When business picks up, businesses will just add hours to existing workers, rather than create new jobs.
* Old business lines are being eliminated entirely, not shrunk down, decreasing the odds that the unemployed will be able to find work.
Says Zuck: It's time for a serious second stimulus -- not a hodge podge of pork and transfer payments, but a truly big and bold infrastructure program (like what we were promised the first time, but which didn't happen) to put people to work. - Reply to this comment

- Is there ANYBODY out there who feels like ME? Like this story is a waste of (CYBER) space?! People ...... your opinion ONLY MATTERS to a politician around election season. That's the cold hard truth. If you are naive enough to believe that everyday people's needs are considered when policy is drafted, then I got a bridge in NY to sell you.
