Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Years?

Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

He has no pals in big business and congress.

When can we expect you and your conservative colleagues to come forth and be objective for once? Its like you folks live in some sort of "lets slander Obama vacuum" whereas Barack Obama actually is doing a fine job as president. It's plain ignorant, but yet you folks spew it like its common sense.

:mrgreen:A fine job as president. Well then lets hear him start talking about those items that makes him such a fine president. Or did you mean by saying a fine job as president as maybe he is one that still has a job.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Is it really class warfare if it's the truth?

:(Well I guess its only the truth if good ole Obama says it is. Right. What a shame the left are so BRAINWASHED.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

and your claim that it is fear mongering is the model of objectivity? I don't think so.

:lol:Why don't you take a few minutes and watch some of Obama's ads. You might realize thats all he has to go with now.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

It takes more than democrats to elect a president.

:dohYeh your right. Wonder how many illegals he has under his arm.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Tell us what Romney and Republicans are going to do about the deficit. Be specific and use the current tax plans they have as a basis for your belief.

;)We would be able to tell you if good ole Harry Reid hadn't tossed them under the table.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Romney's tax plan raises taxes on the poor and cuts taxes even more for the rich. You want the poor to pay more so Romney and his billionaire buddies can sock away more in their hedge funds?

.

Daily Kos: Mitt Romney tax plan would hurt low- and middle-income Americans, give huge tax cut to wealthy

daily kos is comprised of far left idiots who think anything short of communism hurts the poor and working class.

cold turkey might be uncomfortable to addicts but in the long run it helps them. same with weaning people off the public teat
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

The Ryan plan would RAISE the debt, cut social support.

There is no ability for much of anything to be passed since the GOP leadership as no control over the extremists that make up the GOP Congress.

:dohWell you should really do your homework. There were many Dems in House and Senate that approved of Paul Ryan's proposals. Its good ole Harry that disapproved and wont bring them forward.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

So basically you have nothing specific except more trickle down and cuts to anything but the military industrial complex... gotcha.

The Democrats absolutely care about the debt and budget. I can say that honestly because they know the voters want that and they want to keep their jobs.

At least the democrats are looking at increasing revenue through taxation. The vast majority of economist will tell you both revenue generation and cuts are needed to rein in the budget. Republicans are still supporting tax cuts for the rich to create jobs. Using that tactic, when was the last time a Conservative even came close to balancing the budget?

:mrgreen:Thats very true. But whenever taxes are increased the Obama admin. doesn't believe in useing them for reducing the deficte...hes always using it to spend on other items.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Give me the bill number of any democrat sponsored budget plan. you will find that there are none.

The dems had control of both houses for two years, why didn't they pass a budget during that time?

:lol:They were too busy with Obamacare.

Says on whose party is trying all kinds of ways to suppress votes. Claim that there is voter fraud yet are unable to come up with credible proof.

It's funny how brainwashed Republican/conservatives are, they are willing to get shafted by Romney whose interest is to take from the middle class to give to the rich. Sure hope you are one of the 1%, otherwise, he has done a great job of brainwashing you.

Good old Romneyhood.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

I see. And how would you replace the approx. $1.2 trillion on Social Security and Medicare taxes that would be lost? (under privatization these funds would, of course, go directly to the private sector and would not be available for government use, nor government borrowing).

If you did not replace that privatized $1.2 trillion in revenue, then your total government revenues would decrease to approx. $1.0 trillion (FY 2010 numbers, since we have them handy).

So, you have privatized Social Security and Medicare, and you therefore have reduced
gov't revenue to $1.0 trillion. After subtracting Soc. Sec. and Medicare expenses (now handled privately) you still have
expenditures of $2.2 trillion.

Where do you plan to cut $1.2 trillion, or 54%, from the remaining budget in order to balance it? Itemizing the Cabinet level depts you intend to cut will save a lot of back-and-forth.

:mrgreen:By getting people back to work. And stop so many hand outs the gov't just loves to do. Make the people work for what they want and not rely so much on freeloading.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

:lamo . . . . you just added half a million people to the unemployment line, and reduced federal tax revenues by, oh, say a cool $2 billion :doh

:mrgreen:Those half million people could get a job with Fedex or UPS. That would increase more spending in this country.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

:lamo . . . . you're living in a dream world, but that was obvious already. Dream on, and enjoy the Kool Aid... I can't compete with delusions.

:mrgreen:No dude you are the one living in a dream world. You don't seem to understand how the private sector creats jobs. You are so far under Obama's tail you believe everything should just be handed to you. Enjoy you chocolate milk.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Wow. You don't even understand how the Ryan plan works. Even worse, you're going to kick the (future) old people to the curb without any federal medical insurance support whatsoever (which the Ryan plan does indeed supply, albeit at about a 50% level of that currently provided). Well, my work is done here.....

Allan Grayson was right -- the right wing medical plan -- if you get sick, die quickly.

:lol:Well with the Obamacare plan the furture generations are already dead. Obama is more worried about getting reelected than helping our future.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Obama did turn things around. Bush had us headed toward a depression, but it didn't happen, did it. Thanks to Obama.

All Romney has in store for us is more tax cuts for the rich and doomsday for the middle class and everybody else.

:mrgreen:Yep he sure did. The only thing is he didn't turn them around to correct things. All he had on his mind was ways to increase spending. He could of spent more time with both parties to overcome our problems instead of spending so much time on the golf course. And dont come back with the excuse he needed some relaxation. His staff did most of the work for him. The only work he did was making speeches with more promises he knew he couldn't uphold.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Can you quote and link some of those businesses?

Or is this yet another question that will go unanswered?

:(You mean you haven't figured out why businesses haven't been hireing lately. Next time you watch TV make sure you turn up the volume. It really helps.

:lol:No its you lefties that are BRAINWASHED. The gov't doesn't seem to care that the IRS is sending out 1000s of tax refunds to the same address. What is it. Is that the way the left sees helping the needy.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

That is a dumb assumption. When you are able to get preventive care, you only go to the emergency room when you have a real emergency.

I had to stop at this part, because it is so immensely ignorant. There are programs, including free preventative care, for many out there (one example pre-natal checkups and care), and the 'poor' that don't have insurance, general do not take advantage of and use those programs. The under utilization of such programs is really high. Now to those like you and myself, it would make sense to use such programs, that if the ACA gives you free coverage, you can make an appointment at a doc and go in for regular stuff. But those that are used to not paying and using the ER's, and not using already provided free programs, for some reason, don't think like us. This is not going to change because mama government waves a wand and gives millions and millions of people 'health care'.
 
Re: Democrats: Do You Realize That A Second Obama Term Would Be 4 More Squandered Yea

Democrats should cut bait and exercise logic for this next election

Democrats CANNOT exercise logic, they have a fundamental problem where their heart overrides their brain. It doesn't matter how much fact, logic, or history you present, it's irrelevant. You can take the smartest Liberal in the world and they absolutely cannot see TRUTH. I applaud your post but you are screaming at the wind.

Oh, so thats where the GOP superpacs are getting their funding. No wonder they don't want anyone to know.

When I came back to this **** hole, it took me 2 YEARS to get my prescription filled from your "programs" that help the poor.

There is NO help for the poor.
its all a F****** lie.

Its time to deport the foreign criminals and put the Rich in their place.........a big hole.

Ha,ha, sounds like another Faux News drone. Obama has actually spent less, but I see the brainwashing that goes on Faux News, or maybe Rush Limbaugh is working. So save your misinformation for some other ill-informed Republican/conservative, they would be the only ones that are not up with the facts.


Well, the press actually did its job for once. New reports from “market watch” of the Wall Street Journal, a notably liberal newspaper, have come out showing that under President Obama, spending has actually grown at a slower rate than under any president in the modern era. By a long shot.
That’s right, while Obama’s spending grew at 1.4% rate, his predecessor, Bush, increased federal spending by 7.3% in his first term, and then 8.1% in his second.
ChuckingRocks.com - Obama Spent Less than Bush or Reagan: Fact


As for his time on the golf course. He's only played 100 times, most of the time locally. While Bush, flew Air Force One to Crawford like 77 times at the taxpayer's expense. So, I expect a little outrage over that, unless, of course we are just partisan hacks.

And, to your chagrin, he is doing so much better than Romney/Ryan on the polls. And, Americans are doing better today than when he first took office, I guess that's a put down for Bush, ha,ha. So, read and weep! LOL!


A plurality of Americans now say they are better off than they were when President Barack Obama was inaugurated, providing a surprising lift to Obama’s re- election campaign despite troublesome economic news.
