rofl!

To the others, yes, statistics can be used to lie both ways... that was not the point I was making. The point was that no reason is being put into how he could say such a statement. Now if you want to talk the actual statistics that is something totally different. But quoting the president as saying he is happy with 10% unemployment is a far cry from what you are trying to imply: that he doesn't care if people are unemployed. I guess that's one way to try and win though, when you don't have any way out just go deeper into the hole you got yourself into and hope the other will chase you so far in that they make a mistake... Not really the most honest way to admit you were wrong though.

Maybe the jury is still out on the economy for most folks here or something.


But it's looking up, an indication that the right decisions were made at the right time, though apparently by the wrong President and Administration.



CONSERVATIVES FOR OBAMA 2012!!!

What right decisions?

He said the unemployment would not gover over 8% if they rushed and IMMEDIATEDLY gave him the huge stimulus package. He got it and unemployment is over 10%.

(I would love to know, I think, what the real numbers are. I believe it is much higher than is being reported. Too many companies had to large of layoffs and none doing hugh hiring that I have seen reported.

Conservatives for Obama? Funnnnnny!

Conservative what? Conservative communist?... Conservative Fascist?

The very core values of socialism are based in their lack of belief in God! Atheism!

It goes against the very basic beliefs of Christianity to be a socialist!

Come on sir,

Not true about socialism and atheism.

There are Christians who are Socialists. These folks have existed for a long time.



But this is besides the point.


The point is, the government growing during this downturn is helping to stabilize the economy.

This is one of the reasons to have a strong Federal government-- to help the states when the states and localities get weak.


They have learned from the Great Depression and are doing EXACTLY what the Federal government DID NOT do in the beginining of the Great Depression, so that this downturn does not get as bad as a depression.

No, I think he really believes that nonsense his beloved president feeds him. If it's improving someone forgot to tell my business and the thousands of people who are out of work. He is whistling Dixie!!

He's following in the steps of the FDR administration. More big government. I'm just waiting for another Smoot-Hartley Act.....perhaps it will take the form of Cap-n-Trade......

By the way how's those shovel ready jobs working out?

Can this Country really spend itself out of debt, by creating more debt?
