Since President Obama got his stimulus package passed, despite Republican road-blocks, the DOW has gone from 6000 to 11,000 and working Americans are seeing their 401Ks coming back from the Bush downfall. Secret money is trying to reverse the trend and we could have $4.00/gas and record profits for Exxon soon, just like with Bush. To President Obama's detractors I say "Look at your 401K Stupid!"

Obama can't run on his record because he knows a majority of folks do not support them so he trying to run on a non issue. I did not hear him complain when he outspent McCain 5 to 1 and we still do not know where most of that money came from. This is after he promised to use the government limited funding, but broke his word.

So what do you make of Obama's record? Brain Dead?

Equation :

Depression : New Deal = Great Recession : Stimulus Package (Groundwork) + Incomplete Energy Independence or A Jobs law

The Problem = The destructive war & military waste + Stimulus Package
Therefore = Incomplete Energy Independence or A Jobs law - The destructive war & military waste
Criticism = Stimulus Package (Groundwork)
Conclusion = Gambling on Iraq Oil + weapon sell Again + Double-dip Depression

Cure = Slashing the destructive war & military waste + Completion of Energy Independence or A Jobs law

Anger at These :
?
Gambling on Iraq Oil Again : A Drop in the Bucket Vs. Growing Population & Demand World-wide. The Age of Cheap Oil = A Thing of the Past.
?
1. At this time, it looks like the oil-friendly country is gambling on Iraq oil again, citing a big government & deficit, and therefore the world-wide stimulus package worth trillions and health care reform in America are now at stake.
?
2. Of the money by the money for the money is getting a society nowhere near prosperity.
Gambling on party of "no idea" is sure to be much like Throwing an Egg of Economy Against a Rock.
?
The outcome of government take-over :
?
1. In banking industry, the result of government take-over is big bonus parties backed by the tax-payer's invaluable cash.
?
2. In healcare reform, the outcome of government take-over is to dump ill children when needed most.
?
3. In oil spill, the administration should be held responsible for its deregulation, urging a big government
?
Chanting deficit :
?
1. Amid chanting deficit, the same old failed policy.
?
2. Amid chanting deficit, hands-off approach over huge trade deficit from oil money spill & trade imbalance with China from remorseless health care premium.
?
3. Unfortunately, as a direct consequence of remorseless health care premium, numerous folks have no choice but to hang onto affordable offerings, since one in two households is said to face a hard decision between necessity & drug.
?
4. Inaction cost in relation to health care reform totals $9trillion over the next decade.
?
5. Over the next 10 years, total Bush tax cut costs will equal $3.9 trillion, .... the tax cuts would increase deficits by nearly $4 trillion between 2005 and 2014.
?
The most critical debt : Personal Bankruptcy
?
1. The current recession came from Personal Bankruptcy largely as a consequence of the relentless health care costs, pain at the pump, and the subsequent subprime mortgage crisis.
?
Facing huge trade deficit from oil money spill & trade imbalance with China, the primary economic policy of previous administration was " spending baby "to the great delight of republicans' sponsors.
?
2. By comparison, the recovered stock market value alone, around $1.5 trillion, is nearly twice as much as the stimulus package, set aside all the other benefits.
?
As always, the republicans and unqualified media let folks locked in a box. ruling out the positive effects.
?
?
The most promising deficit-cut of government : Slashing the destructive war & military waste
?
1. Slashing the destructive war & military waste alone supposedly could be enough to balance the budget.
?
?
Energy Independence : An Only Way to Desperately-Needed Job Growth
?
1. My response to the question : where are jobs ?
In the trade deficit, exactly in the severe and persistent oil money spill, taboo of " do not add to the deficit" party.
?
2. Under the existing Bush tax cut for lavish bonus parties, a sole job plan for the republicans, the country already saw millions of job cuts.

Corporations and their subsidiaries such as the US Chamber of Commerce should not have the right to buy our elections. We need a constitutional amendment limiting campaign donations only to registered voters. If we don?t do this soon we will have the worst government money can buy. Even worst than what we have now.

unions don't create jobs- companies do. And in the teacher bailout of 25 billion 1 to 1 1/2% of taxpayer money went to union dues partly paid for with food stamp money and went to Democrat campaigns. The Dems think the poor are less important than their campaigns. So don't give the union money comes from the hardworking member line. It is wrong. Unions are only interested in power.

imthid- the last teachers bailout of 25 billion, partly paid with food stamp funds, put 1 to 1 1/2% in union dues to unions for use in Democrat campaigns. Taxpayer money used for Democrat campaigns. The union dues comes from salaries paid for by companies not unions. Employment is provided by companies, not unions. Let's by all means get rid of the companies that liberals hate, than where will the unions get their dues to influence campaigns.

Unions are funded from members. Even groups like the NRA and other lobbying groups disclose their donors.

You really don't care that big corporations and the filthy rich, who don't care about families, country or the middle class, are buying democracy?

Our national brain and conscience has been corrupted even more than I wanted to realize.

If that is what your worried about look at Harry Reid donors, lobbyist money has been pouring in to keep him in there to move their agenda. Money is everywhere, this is not news now but it is a problem.

from LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-chamber-foreign-money-20101012,0,5879844.story
The White House has acknowledged that there is no specific evidence that foreign organizations have funded ads backed by the chamber.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that the president was emphasizing disclosure so Americans could be sure who was funding the campaign. He added that the White House had not "suggested any illegality" in the chamber's activities.

While the president emphasizes disclosure, the Democratic National Committee continues to distribute an advertisement charging that the chamber and others are using foreign money. "It appears they're even taking secret foreign money to influence our elections," the ad says, while at one point showing a pile of Asian currency.
===SO it is based on no proof and just an unsubstantiated charge. Mudslinging.

Where did Obama's 400 million come from? What happened to the promise to take only public funding.

This man is a fool and the ones who elected him, fools as well.

You think the government is bad (even though it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the big corporations and filthy rich).

Just wait until the big corporations finish the takeover and tell us all to work for $3 an hour. Now go pay your mortgage and health care on that.

It's very disappointing, but obvious, Obama and the dems are only concerned about getting re-elected. They have laughed and turned their noses up towards many who voted for them and as for holding the banks and morgage companies accountable for destroying the economy and millions of innocent lives, they have grown silent. They look more like the repubs everyday.
