Our Jobless Recovery

Full story: www.thenation.com

President Obama just told us that the economic stimulus plan has "already saved or created" 150,000 jobs and that another 450,000 will be "saved or created" by the end of the summer, including 125,000 summer-only jobs for students.

obama is lying. His economy is failing and he has put us into record debt that he will never repay.

How long before the news media will get over its glee of electing obama and realize that he is the biggest con artist since Bernie Madoff?

They're starting to wake up. They don't have a choice anymore. They're becoming a laughing stock.

You're right--he's a liar. He said the stimulus is working--keeping teachers and firefighters from being laid off. He said it at that dog and pony show of a "town hall meeting." There have been stories every day in the Hartford Courant about towns laying off teachers and other personnel.

It's not a recovery, and what ever it is it sure is jobless, I thought about every place here had shut down all ready, but they were talking about even more big shutdown here today.
Remember the failure of the jimmy carter years, and then remember that jimmy carter paved the way for Ronald Reagan and we started to recover, just hope we have someone like Ronald Reagan to help us out of this mess in 3 and a half years..Nobama one term wonder..

"President Obama just told us that the economic stimulus plan has "already saved or created" 150,000 jobs..."

he also told us the moon is made out of green cheese, and that, he (obama) is the ONLY reason the sun rises every morning.

Don't blame Obama for Bush's bills.

Obama will be responsible for the national health care system, good or bad, success or failure; but the huge debt is Bush's, and his father's, and Reagan's. Likewise the fallen economy.

You sorry sad sacks keep hoping that our country will fail.

You guys are deep in denial. It is your Bush & Reagan that put us in the dumper.

Obama is far from perfect; but he is farther still from Bush, our worst president ever.

We have hit bottom and are on our way back up. President Obama did not destroy our manufacturing ability, Bush's economic superstitions did that.

Someone needs to get their "stories" straight, the worst is yet to come, there is MORE unemployment coming and after those supposed 125,000 economic "boosting" summer jobs are gone it will be even higher yet...

Obama Preserves Entrenched Power, Sidesteps Racial Disparities

Barack Obama actually said it: a truncated form of the hackneyed rich man's expression, "a rising tide lifts all boats."

The cliché was a fixture of trickle-down Reaganics and the Bush I and II permutations, as well as the Clinton deregulationathon.

Now Obama employs it to justify his refusal to offer any programs to "address historical and emerging racial disparities."

The twisted logic goes something like this: "The deeper Blacks sink into the abyss, the more they are eligible for general assistance - therefore, the Obama plan already contains everything African Americans need as a group, and will be of more use to them than to more advantaged groups." Thus, the nation's first Black President turns the misery index on its head.

Who holds the purse strings my friend? US CONGRESS.

Where was Obama last 4 years? US Congress (in the Senate)

What did Obama vote FOR in the Senate? ALL of Congressional Spending Plans that Bush signed into law

OUCH!

He's part of the problem - NOT THE SOLUTION.

I am not hoping that our country fails.....I am witnessing it.

Who cares who's fault it is....there is plenty of blame to go around. And if you think we have hit bottom, sorry bout your luck, the rest is yet to come.

Obama's Kyoto agreement means a very big hurt on our manufacturing sector....but that is Bush's fault huh.

obama's health care plan is a sham and a desperate act of demagoguery. Obama needs something to hold up for the fools to believe in. He certainly suckered you in.

obama created more debt during his first month in office that George Bush created in the previous 8 years.

The only working economy obama has left is momentum carried over from George Bush. The Democrats have created more debt and more new social programs than Bush ever imagined.

Where are all of those bridges and road projects that liar obama promised would create so many jobs? The only road projects going on are the ones already in the pipeline from President Bush.

The stimulus money has been used to pay back obama's political supporters and to create new social programs which don't contribute to the economy and don't create any national wealth. This money has been wasted and will continue to create a burden on the government and the taxpayers.
Much of the stimulus money was funneled into Medicaid to fill in a huge shortfall of this already failed government program. Even obama stated that Medicaid had to be saved. This was a major bailout.

One thing is for sure... the stimulus money has not been creating jobs.

As far as the banks, they have already repaid the government nearly a hundred billion dollars. Those were loans not grants.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Sagittarius

The rumour mill is especially active, and interesting tales are coming at you from all sides. Don't believe everything you hear: there are people who will start gossip to further their own aims and you don't want to help them unwittingly. Similarly, don't reveal too much of yourself to those who you don't know intimately - keep your own counsel.
