Obama Attacks Republicans….AGAIN… Tries to Blame Job Losses on GOP!

I wonder if the people who would vote to reelect Obama might be union members, unenlightened Blacks, his Socialist/Communist brethern, along with a few just really stupid people. Oh and a few Gays who still believe his empty promises to make gays entitled people, eligible for all the perks including Affirmative Action. Talk about an empty coalition, how would you like to depend on that bunch to stay in office. Don’t forget all those college professors wearing tweed sport coats and sandals.

Obama-Speak for his useful idiots and Kenyans.

He is a loon, not going to be able to fix that until 2012.

Ah, the old “Nuh uh, YOU!” argument. Classic.

This administration reminds me of a hormonally-gargantuan seven-year-old bully in a playground full of five-year-olds (that’d be Congress).

Sadly, this particular seven-year-old bully seems to be trying to steal the swingset and sandbox before he leaves (that’d be our economy and way of life).

November can’t come fast enough.

Democrats Could ‘Absolutely’ Lose Majority Control in Congress, Some Strategists Say
New Poll Shows More Voters are Supporting Republicans in Mid-Term Elections

A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released today found that voters were split over which party they preferred to have a majority in Congress, with 44 percent favoring Democrats and 44 percent Republicans; 12 percent said they weren’t sure. But 56 percent of those Americans who said they were most interested in the midterm elections supported Republicans, and 36 percent backed Democrats, “the highest gap all year on that question,” according to the poll.

Carville, of the early morning conference call with Rahmbo clique, chimes in:

The White House and Democrats are “acutely aware” of the sentiment in the country, said Democratic strategist James Carville on “Good Morning America” today, and it’s “absolutely possible” that Democrats could lose control of Congress. “It’s not good,” Carville said. “The Democrats need a strategy to re-energize some of their voters.”

So, of course Obama is trying to pin unemployment on the GOP, it’s the old, “look over there trick” …it isn’t working anymore, not on the majority of the people anyway.

He spent us into oblivion, failed to produce the millions of promised jobs and now he’s out there making a fool out of himself by flat out lying……again. Now, less and less are believing.

Carville again:

Carville, like other Democrats, hopes that positive employment numbers will continue to come in the next few months and help narrow the margin between Democratic and Republican supporters.

There’s an article out today explaining that the millions of lost jobs aren’t coming back. Kind of like the perfect storm. Millions are being replaced by technology and there is no longer a need for their work, the recession benefitted companies, it his just when they needed to get rid of employees. Unless Obama pumps up his hiring frenzy, fast, unemployment numbers are not going to help the democrats by November. Obama, Carville and the DNC should be well aware of that.

Sounds like everyone is pretty excited for Nov. Maybe the Repubs will win and you can all go on worshipping rhetoric, rathe policy.

Can you be more specific? Like, which policy?

The idea that Gitmo shouldn’t be closed?
The policy of shooting at the enemy rather than handing out medals to soldiers who don’t?
How about the policy of staying in Iraq and Afghanistan because both are vital to our national security?
FISA policy?
Patriot Act (co-written by Dems, and made permanent by Dems)?
Could it be the idea that waterboarding KSM wasn’t torture because 9/10 Americans would’ve done a lot more than just pour water on the SOB?
Maybe you think we should be praising policies that are against bailouts for banks, state govts, uber corporations, and everyone except the American worker (damn those Tea Party radicals)?
The policy that gay marriage is a state issue (damn that beauty queen and Obama)?
The idea that don’t ask don’t tell ain’t gonna happen ’cause the US military is not the same as working in a head shop in San Fran?

Seriously, what policy(ies) are you talking about?

If you’re larrytheSTABLEguy, why aren’t you out cleaning some horse stalls? Sounds about your speed, troll!

@Scott Malensek, well what I meant was that the only thing that has changed in Washington is the way things are said, not what is actually done.

@Scott, there is actually no fundamental difference between Obama’s policies and Bush’s. Once you put rhetoric aside. That’s all.

@EVERYONE,

Meow. Hiss. Scratch.

So Sassy.

Also, I’m only a troll so far as you bite.

Roof Roof.

@Scott, actually couldn’t agree any more.

Larry, excellent point and my omission, with your wit and wisdom you have raised the bar for intellectual discussion and will be an asset for attracting new people who want to engage in heated argument and name calling.

@Skumcum, well these “union members, unenlightened Blacks…Socialist/Communist brethern….really stupid people…and a few Gays….” are your fellow countrymen. No more, and no less. Get used to it.

From now on, I will have no problem remembering the nationality of the Obama supporters, thank you for your participation. Everyone has a contribution to make; I am confident that we will be seeing something from you, eventually.

Hey Scott.
Good to see you back on FA. Sorry to hear about all of your problems the last several months. I hope things are getting better.

Take care Scott.

@Larry The Stable Guy: I’ve warned you about the insults and namecalling before.

Well, it looks like Mike beat me to it by a nose.

The “man” has no grasp on reality. Everything in his dream world, if it doesn’t work out, is someone elses fault. He is unable to take any kind of accountability, and must blame others.

@Missy: It’s the same old tactic they’ve used a hundred times before. Start a food fight so that the subject of the post gets ignored.

Kind of hard to ignore 9.9% unemployment with Obama out there blaming it on the GOP.

@MataHarley: And I would just add to your list that Bush would NEVER have accused his opponents of being racists or potentially violent.

All this ho-hah about “both parties do it, there’s little difference” is just a way of enabling the crap Obama is pushing.

Anyone else excited for Robin Hood? I hope Ridely’s still got it.

@Mike,
I cannot believe you removed my stat f’er comment. That was classic.

Larry has one point that may, or may not be, true, and that is about the direction Obama and Bush are taking the country. One has to wonder, outside of the terrorism issue(s), if the GOP would be heading towards the same destination as Obama with the statist policies, all due to the GOP prior to Obama wanting to “play nice” and attract voters with pandering to all comers. Realizing that the last two Bush years were under a Dem controlled congress, I think a McCain presidency would have been a big disaster for America as well, just not to the extent, nor as fast, as Obama’s is seemingly taking us over the edge of the cliff.

What I hope is that the TEA party’s formation, and absolute disgust by most American’s with statist policies will turn the GOP away from being “dem-lites” and towards true conservative values. I, myself, support true conservative candidates where possible, and never dems, with this hope in mind.

One thing about Krugman: he has become increasingly political and cultural. It’s one thing to be a Keynesian, it’s another thing to “get serious about climate change” in order to stimulate the economy. I mean, we could also “get serious” about offshore drilling.

The GOVERNMENT cannot spend the country out of a recession….as the money it uses DEPLETES the PUBLIC’s spending power. It’s the consumer on the STREET, John Q. Public, that makes the economy rise… or die. More money in OUR pocket, and LESS DRAIN (wasted/spent money) at the GOV level will cause the economy to right itself… simple but true. Anything else is a waste of money, time and effort.

Simple example… You could give GM 50 TRILLION dollars (WOW!) but, if WE do not have the money to BUY a GM product… they will STILL go belly up bankrupt! It’s not so much how much you have in a companies bank account, as much as it is DEMAND for their product/service!! In the end, it’s the STREETS buying power that matters… we don’t buy, a company folds. Simple enough.. too bad the IQ’s in DC are to low to even grasp THIS!

@Hankster58…If Government Motors goes under a part of Obama’s Union support base takes a hit.
Unemployed Union Members cannot pay the dues that go into the Democrat/Socialist Party slush fund. Union Officials lose their Cadillac Health Care, their hyper inflated salaries and their Power.
It was never about the working class or the “little guys”.

My point being that Team Obama and the Democrats reckoned that THEY are too big to fail.
*The Taxable/Dues paying entity is the Cow. It takes milk to make Free Ice Cream.
*Free Ice Cream buys Votes.
*Now the Taxpayer OWNS 60% of Gummint Motors. Ain’t Socialism grand?

Remember that 53% of the American Voting Public asked for this.
Not too difficult to figure out. Just imagine what happens when the Free Ice Cream runs out?
Obama now Owns the economy. It is quite frankly not sustainable.

Seems the Grand Distractor is still at it…

OK, my turn:

@Old Trooper

I think you should consult your lawyer on this one. My hunch is you wont find any mandates for bailouts.

I think maybe assumed that I supported a planned economy b/c I expressed an understanding of them.

Curt, Thank you Sir.

@Larry The Libertarian Guy: A Keynesisn might say that $5 trillion of the $50 trill is labor costs. That’s $5 trillion that GM employees are pumping into the consumer market.

…. snip….

Another $25 trillion is directed into GM suppliers. GM suppliers now have money to pay their own employees. …. snip….

Cash pumped into business is certainly stimulus, Larry. But it’s rather un-libertarian of you to suggest the source of that cash would be government, courtesy of the taxpayers. Here’s the flaw of Krugman’s thinking, IMHO.

The Princeton professor and New York Times columnist said most economies should have more aggressive stimulus programs than seen so far and added rising budget deficits had saved the world from a replay of the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“What we should be doing is a lot more support for economies. Yes, deficits are a concern but so is a world economy which is probably operating 7 or 8 percent below capacity,” Krugman said.

To the first paragraph… no, the rising deficits didn’t “save” the world from a 30’s depression. It merely kicked that can down the road. Printing dollars for revenue not yet earned, and banking on the unrealistic using past GDP growth and consumer fanatical spending is simply dangerous folly by those who can benefit now, and won’t be around to absorb the blame later.

And BTW, I see Krugman’s only now getting a clue to the W shaped “recovery”… ala the double dipper. There’s been many of us warning about this since the ARRA debates. Since he’s late to the ballgame, he’s dropped a few more notches in esteem for me. At least before he stuck to his predictions instead of sticking his finger in the wind and backtracking. Your new Nobel value is only as good as your last prediction, ya know.

Secondly, one would have to weight the enormity of the nation’s debt increase, and the unfathomable costs of interest to sustain that, against the spending that resulted from government injection of worthless dollars. A prime example of that is the TARP and financial insitutions who took the cash, but held back on lending and instead made cash amongst themselves with 0% interest and high risk investments that were, instead, no risk investments because Geither stood by with more cash in his fist for them.

Then again, Keynes was a big believer in running deficits. Wonder if this much deficit, combined with a massive entitlement mentality – which slashes the healthy revenue sources he was trying to create – was what the man had in mind. I suspect not. I also wonder if, when he was instrumental in setting up the World Bank and IMF, if he could foresee the corrupt and useless powerhouses they could become today.

Keynes biggest flaw was that he believed government was capable of making good decisions, and genuinely wanted to promote private sector health with it’s efforts. That attitude hasn’t been around the beltway for almost a century. Keynes should have paid more attention to the Founding Fathers warnings about power and corruption.

Considering that just about everything in an individual’s existence today is considered to be a “right”, instead of an earned reward, Keynesian theory has become impractical and obsolete in the entitlement era. Instead, organizations like Marxist.org… highlight him as author, using his theories as an end to their means. As such, his intent as it relates to capitalism has been distorted, and now used as a supporting tool by socialism/maxism.

@HANKSTER

“You could give GM 50 TRILLION dollars (WOW!) but, if WE do not have the money to BUY a GM product… they will STILL go belly up bankrupt!”

A Keynesisn might say that $5 trillion of the $50 trill is labor costs. That’s $5 trillion that GM employees are pumping into the consumer market. They’re paying their grocer, who is now settling his dentist bill, who is now hiring a gardener, who is driving a GM truck.

>> My point was.. the MEGA DOLLARS going IN does NOT give the same value (stimulus) coming OUT! ( Not enough bang for the buck!!) Since most of the PARTS (25 trillion you used as an example) are made OUTSIDE the U.S. now, what good does THAT do us????? We need the stimulus now, not later..

and Old Trooper I concur!! A big part was PAYOFF for getting elected… unions got a big slice… INVESTORS got the shaft!! 180 degrees backwards! Typical Democrat operations.. pay to stay! Only. I do NOT want MY dollars used to pay off anymore!

WHEN thoses trols come here with a way of insulting and bullying ,i always think that they are being paid to troubleshoot; and i wonder on how high is their money come from. they all play the same game like robots.

Greg, why not tell us all where they put partisan ahead of the Nation??? The Obummer Healthcare Plan IS BAD for AMERICA! They did the RIGHT thing!!! You see it different?? Big Difference between “Party of No”.. and being a “BrainDead” “follower”…. as most Dems in DC are now….. No thought… just “Follower the orders of Der Fuehrer”.. i mean Obama… Pitiful! Overpaid Senators who cannot do basic math!

If only there had been such zeal for fiscal responsiblity during all years that republicans occupied the White House and had control of Congress.

Where was the passion for constitutional law during the 8 years that the Bush/Cheney administration put unitary executive theory into practice?

Why no outrage on the right when constitutional rights were trumped by presidential directive, or when signing statements were repeatedly used to circumvent legislation?

Did anyone even bother to read and think about the implications of NSPD-51? If Obama were to issue such a directive, people would be pouring into the streets. (People pouring into the streets would probably have been sufficient reason to envoke NSPD-51. Maybe it’s a good thing that those who were paying attention didn’t.)

None of which is to say that there’s no reasonable basis for criticism of Obama and the democratic majority. Only that I know a double standard when I see it.

“After they’ve treated him so fairly, and unfailingly put the good of the nation ahead of partisan politics…”

As if he made any effort to meet his dissenters halfway just as he promised. He claimed that he was open for discussion with his opposition, although his actions have contradicted that.

@Greg: If only there had been such zeal for fiscal responsiblity during all years that republicans occupied the White House and had control of Congress.

Where was the passion for constitutional law during the 8 years that the Bush/Cheney administration put unitary executive theory into practice?

ah yes… when you lib/progs run out of facts for your delusional and emotional debates, you once more conjure up your favorite Satanic duo, Bush and Cheney, for finger pointing.

Get a grip on reality, Greg. I’ll make it simple… putting it in easy to view pictures. I’ve said this over and over, yet it still slides over the heads of the O’faithful. The Bush big spending commenced the year that the Dems seized the Congressional reigns in 2007. And perhaps civics is a lost curriculum, but Congress is in charge of the budget and money. The POTUS recommends, and can either pass or veto the final budget presented by Congress. Veto’ing, however, also has it’s repercussions when you are waging war in two theatres.

And speaking of those wars, they have been ongoing since 2002 and 2003. Yet it’s only in 2007 that the incline is supposed to be attributed to what is not even 1/3 of the nation’s overall spending? Tell it to the Ayer’s educational system grads. They’re dumb enough to believe that crap.

Here’s another one for you… the US debt to GDP ratio, with how much is defense. Again, note that rise under a Democrat Congress since 2007? So what was the horse manure about spending you were saying, Greg?
