Sadly that is about all he can do. Just look at his recent proposals: 1) payroll tax cut to stimulate demand -- Boehner says he won't consider it, 2) create jobs to repair crumbling infrastructure -- Boehner says he won't consider it.

Boehner's plan to stimulate the economy and create jobs? Chirp... Chirp.... Crickets.

So you want to cut SS?

I find this to be ridiculous. a large portion of them will vote third party once the GOP nominates another phony "maverick" like McCain.

You say you find it ridiculous yet the point you make does not conflict with the statement you think is ridiculous.

Perhaps the libertarian segment of the tea party will run to Ron Paul if/when he fails to get the republican nomination and chooses to run as a libertarian once again but that wasn’t the point I was making. The ridiculous comment is the one that claims tea partiers will just stay home.

Guess you are in the group of 39% that supports Obama. His policies are right up your alley

Sorta like "Cut Cap and Balance" where Mr. Obama said he'd veto it before it was even passed the House vote. Just like the Ryan plan which was demogauged and continues to be. Boehners plan to stimulate jobs was PART of "Cut Cap and Balance"... immediately Harry Reid said it was "dead on arrival".

The President's leadership? chirp... chirp... chirp The President's hope and change? chirp... chirp... chirp...

The Presidents promise to turn around the economy in his first term?



PRICELESS...

Think what ever you want. One thing I do know about myself though (BTW I happen to be an authority on what I think) Bohner and crew are ideological nincompoops road blocks and not a part of solving anything.

Really? What in the Cut, Cap, and Balance plan would have created jobs? You realize that cutting government spending by 25% -- which is what it would take to balance the budget -- would lop several percentage points off GDP, right? That would cost us millions of jobs. God knows it wouldn't create any.

What are the Republican ideas to CREATE jobs?

As far as turning the economy around in the first term, he has done just that. We've gone from contraction to expansion. Job losses to job gains. Stock market crash to bull market.

Iran will get nukes, it is simply the nature of technology. rub the lamp all you want, the genie aint going back in it.

We need to be concerned with our own fiscal house, that is our greatest weakness, and our biggest threat. It might not be politically wise to tell American's they are fat and ugly, but I applaud Dr. Paul for having the integrity to say it anyway.

Exactly. A lot of good it does to gnash your teeth over Iran getting nukes when there isn't a darn thing we are going to be able to do about it.

The best bet to stopping them in getting nukes is a hands off approach. When Israel makes their move we send them a box of chocolates.

Good, seems you have no clue as to the role of Govt. which is what makes you an Obama supporter. We don't need a massive 3.7 trillion a year govt. up 700 billion from the 2008 Bush budget and cutting that size, getting the govt. out of the private sector will grow the jobs this nation needs. This country wasn't built on your liberal ideology.

Unfortunately for Obama, that's about all he can do... blame the Congress and everyone else except himself. All he's really got is the abortion of a Health Care bill that does the opposite of cut down healthcare costs and being the President who actually was in office when Bin Laden was killed. The rest of his first term equates to a turd in a punchbowl.

Bush didn't care about Bin Laden, it took a real CiC to get him.

Cut the size of govt, eliminate needless regulations from the EPA, OSHA, NLRB, eliminate Obamacare, cut corporate and all business taxes, and fire Obama

Yep..blame everybody and I never heard him come out with his plan to remedy anything and it would of been a good time to take advantage of the situation and reveal his plans. I guess he doesn't have any.

Probably why GW Bush still has a high approval rating with the military today, right? You need to get over your BDS because Bush isn't in office and your attempt to defend Obama destroys your credibility. His record speaks for itself.

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch!

Funny how you skip right over Bush's 2009 budget, which spent $3.3 trillion.

Please provide a source for where Boehner has refused to consider payroll tax cuts and job creation.

That he didn't get OBL and caused us to be at war for over a decade will not go over well as history will be written.

The 2009 Budget had TARP in it and some of the Obama stimulus as well as his many supplementals which of course you blame on Bush as well. Why wasn't TARP repayment credited back to the Bush budget?

Obama's approval rating is based upon his handling of the economy and 39% is too high

Cut Cap and Balance is stupidity on steroids. I am surprised qanyone buys this crap. Do you realize how long it would take to pass an Amendment to the Constitution?

a large portion will vote third party, but a portion will simply not take the time to vote. the ridiculous thing is yuo claiming virtually none of them will sit it out. many will sit it out when faced with two dolts and long voting lines.

So is adding 4 trillion dollars to the debt in 4 years but you seem to have no problem with that

That is what Obama is counting on and the only way he can get another term. You want four more years of this?

TARP is Bush's. He asked for the $700 billion. Besides, you already said Obama spent only $60B of it.

Conservative said:

Click to expand...
$200 billion of that was sent in FY2009. I already deducted that from the total spending from 2009 which was $3.5 trillion.

Supplimentals like the Iraq/Afhganistan war supplimental also gets put on Bush's tab. They're his wars.

You have yet to prove that it wasn't.
