President Obama Takes a Break at Camp David

Frankly, I'm amazed the Republicans haven't fielded a more viable candidate all them are flawed. Perhaps the better candidates pretty much know Obama would be tough to beat and would prefer to wait until 2016. But then they'll probably have Andrew Cuomo to contend with.

Even the republican voters dislike the republican pres candidates. Only a few of them get above single digit support, and then just barely.
 
Like Sheik says, no Democratic President has received an economy like Obama did from Bush.

Why did Bush say "Wall Street is drunk" and never did anything about it. He let the economy crash and burn.

Like I have said the economy that Reagan inherited was worse. I lived it, worked it and survived both, the 81-82 recession was much worse due to 17% interest rates and a misery index over 22. Guess it is easy for people like you to ignore history and believe that people not able to get the latest computer or cell phone is in a depression. Amazing how that terrible recession ended in June 2009 and here we are over two years later with 14.7 million unemployed and 4 trillion more in debt. No one can claim that record is a success so what do you do other than ignore it.
 
The Obama record will make him a one term President not anyone else's rhetoric. Obama had total Democrat control of Congress for two years so name for me the results to be proud of. You must not be getting the actual results up there in Oregon even though I gave you the sites that report actual data. It would help your credibility if you stopped reading the medai reports and actually do some research.

I'd be more likely to believe that you can predict the future if you would only show an ability to predict the past.
 
Ummm, I could be wrong, but I think he can win by winning the majority of electors from the Electoral College

I am sure that when you get out of school you will understand the disaster that this President is as you try to get a job. Good luck, you are going to need it.

We know that Obama hasn't been able to predict the future thus implemented a disastrous economic policy that caused more people to be unemployed, a drop in the labor market, and 4 trillion added to the debt. On top of that the misery index is rising for all Americans.

Who knows, though? Maybe if you keep saying something, it will become true.
 
Looks to me like you aren't paying any attention to the Obama results either and that is what will be on the ballot in November 2012. Obama doesn't have the economic policy in place to generate the jobs and economic growth that will lead to re-election. You want badly to believe his rhetoric while ignoring his results.

So you say yet I gave you the BLS website where you can get unemployment by month going back to 1948 and you won't find any President with unemployment numbers like Obama, NONE, so thanks for playing. You lost as you notice no one is supporting your position.

The answer and the proof has already been posted. I'll wait for you to look it up
 
Whoever the Republicans run has an advantage in that the Obama record is reality and will be on the ballot. Only the diehard liberals will ignore the record and continue to divert to the past. Facts like this speak for themself.

It is evident that the OP doesn't like Obama very much. That is fine, i don't why obamas can't take a weekend off like the rest of us. Bush took vacations to his ranch in texas during his presidency. If you don't like his politics that is ok, but doesn't mean everything he does on his own time needs to be criticized.

Like I have said the economy that Reagan inherited was much better. I lived it, worked it and survived both, the 81-82 recession was much milder. Guess it is easy for some people to ignore history and believe that people not able to get the latest computer or cell phone is in a depression. Amazing how you seem to think unemployment is used to measure a recession.

Obama hasn't added $4 trillion to the debt, it won't be true no matter how many times you say it. Massive layoffs which started in the Bush years cause big shortfalls in tax revenue. You've said this yourself.
 
I am sure that when you get out of school you will understand the disaster that this President is as you try to get a job. Good luck, you are going to need it.

I am sure that posters resort to personal attacks when they have nothing substantive to offer
 

Swiss, I really don't care what Politifact says, I know the facts as does bea.gov, bls.gov, and the U.S. Treasury. I suggest you start doing some research. I lived and worked during both, did you? Any idea wat a 22 misery index feels like? Any idea what kind of malaise Carter left this country? You and the other youngsters here don't have a clue what it was like in 1980 and what Reagan inherited. The fact is his recession ended over two years after he took office and Obama's ended 6 months after he ended office. You don't know the difference?

Then tell me how much debt Obama added. You have been asked that question over and over again but ignored it, just like you ignore all the facts presented from non partisan sites. Just because you believe doesn't make it true.

We know that republicans havn't been able to predict the future thus implemented a disastrous economic policy that caused more people to be unemployed, a drop in the labor market, and 7trillion added to the debt. On top of that the misery index is rising for all Americans.

Why don't you respond to my Afghanistan post where I dismantled every one of your arguments and provided concrete, factual evidence that I was correct and you were incorrect? It is much easier to make condescending statements about age, I know, but you'd gain some credibility if you didn't dodge my points.
 
Me too......

better warn sangha what happens when you change the post of another poster and do that so blatantly. I don't report posters but will the next time anyone changes my posts to this extreme. Better grow up

I have dismantled your posts and your comments. you think Afghanistan is going to win the 2012 elections? Obama is a failure and the military friends that I know, know it. You continue to hang on to a dream and your liberal ideology. That is a failure and America is weaker because of it.

Obama has added no debt. It's all the republicans and bush*

sangha, edit one of my posts again and I assure you that you will be getting a DP vacation. That is a TOS violation so don't make me do what I have never done before, report a poster. Only liberals do that and I don't respond to those posters ever again.
