Where is the US economy headed?

Quote:

At least McCain is a man that loves his country. We don't have a case of that in Obama, who seems to despise the country and the citizens he governs.

Of course.. the right wing nutcases get to decide who loves their country based on politics.

You are the one that appears to despise your country okie. You put your politics ahead of your country every day it seems.

Quote:

Far from perfect, but many of us would love to have Bush back now in exchange for the current disaster.

This shows how out of touch you are okie. The current disaster started under Bush and it will take a long time to fix. Anyone who isn't so partisan can see that.

Simple facts..
recession started before Obama took office. Obama inherited an economic storm that could have caused the country to collapse according to many economists, you know, people that actually study economies.
Jobs normally lag in a recovery no matter who is President or what the policies are.

Having Bush back wouldn't have prevented the disaster you claim now exists and certainly wouldn't have reduced federal deficits.

@parados,

As proof of what you are saying, it was under GW Bush that the bailout of banks started; not after. That was the crisis that started this Great Recession.

okie wants GW Bush to finally destroy our country; it seems obvious conservatives love disasters.

Yes, and as was mentioned on another thread. The TARP fund was signed into being by Bush. Obama didn't do anything other then distribute TARP funds that Bush created with his signature.

Obama has been expanding Bush's errors, and making Bush's recession Obama's depression.

Don't you mean, here you are mixing numbers without realizing that you can't do that?

Monthly numbers do not compare to yearly numbers for unemployment. You have been told this repeatedly but are just too stupid to understand it I guess.

It is not true that the public misses Bush. In a new Time poll, the public weighed in as follows.

– 61 percent blame the Bush for the “balky economy,” while 27 percent blame Obama.

– 53 percent favor Obama over Bush (33 percent).

– 55 percent favor Obama over Sarah Palin (34 percent) in a hypothetical 2012 presidential campaign.

The Siena Research Institute also just released a poll of presidential scholars, who rated Bush in the “bottom five” of U.S. presidents throughout history. They rated him 39th. Other presidents in the bottom five were Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, and Franklin Pierce. Obama was ranked 15th.

About all he does is go "uh, oh, uhhh, uh," and then provide some vague foggy answer to a question.

I just wanted to point out that this is complete bullshit. A lie. In a debate, Okie, he would make you look like a fool, and you know it. So why do you persist in trying to tear the man down in an area in which he is clearly superior to pretty much every other politician out there?

Okie is much worse than being merely ignorant. He is a serial liar and libeler.

okie's labels are meaningless; they don't have any truth or fact in them.

@parados,

Would have been nice if McCain had loved his first wife. Yes, the young McCain was handsome, but, good looks are no excuse for being a douche bag.

What a moral man!

Came home from Vietnam -- where only god and McCain know the truth (and McCain ain't tell it) about what happened there -- to find his once stunning wife was a wreck of a human being.

What did he do? Comfort the wife who stood by her man? No, the douche bag unzipped his fly and went on a cross country **** where he met Cindy, a woman from the same moral gutter he was wading in. She was young and rich and she promptly spread her legs.

Let's hope that McCain doesn't love America in the same way he loved the first Mrs. McCain!

To see what people who "actually study economies" have to say, read my post from Harvard Magazine.

okie wants to equate "love of country to good governance." What a dork!

@cicerone imposter,

If that was truly the standard then okie would hate his country based on Bush's governance.

Okie equates 'love of country to thinking like okie". If you don't agree with him then you must hate the country.

He says he has children and grandchildren.. Their lives have to be living hell with okie playing "the man behind the curtain" and the kids and grandkids all playing the part of the Scarecrow in the okie production of the Wizard of Oz.
