...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.

How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible.

How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long.

One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them.

I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing.

And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank.

That's oe thing I do enjoy about Texas, it's a foregone conclusion that it will be a red state so we barely get any political ads on TV. On the flipside, our education system is shit, so there's that.

"please help me feel better about the job he's doing." - no dice. presidents are either puppets of, or assassinated by: the central bank.

"67% approval rating" - its either faked, or people really are as stupid as they appear to be.

"How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy?" - probably prevents a lot of people from dying/ ending up in the hospital or jail/ committing crime/...

a balanced budget is not possible for as long as banks run the country.

i find it ironic that republicans are all claiming job creation because of all the trees that died from drought/fires in the past few months (in texas and colorado) but in reality - wouldn't those jobs exist if someone just set all that shit ablaze anyway? aren't they then tacitly nodding to the dig a ditch and pay someone to fill it in understanding of the economic multiplier? or if not that then they are acknowledging that wealth condensation exists and these low paying labor jobs are specifically offsetting it. Rob or another conservative help me out here?

And if I'm not wrong, then aren't they giving clout to the Krugman claim that we just need to heavily spend our way out of this recession? I think I heard a quote somewhere that if no public jobs were cut in the last 4 years we'd wouldn't even be feeling a recession - it'd be like the 1990s all over again.
