You are absolutely correct, the Obama approval ratings prove that only a small minority are buying the crap this Administration is selling anyway. Record low approval ratings say it all.

Lucky for Obama the election is still 14 months away, eh?

So how do you think the Republicans are going to fair in the polls after holding up disaster relief funding from Hurricane Irene?

So much for your concern for those 25 million underemployed. That's ok, Con, I always knew your concern for them was feigned to begin with. You don't care that anyone is out of work -- all you care is that the president is a Republican.

Nothing Obama has done or proposed does anything for those 25 million unemployed and under employed Americans thus the record low approval ratings. He is a liberal ideologue just like you that doesn't know how to create meaningful jobs so any plan he proposes is going to do nothing but increase dependence and debt. Understanding leadership isn't either yours or his strong suit and in fact neither of you have a clue how to manage anything.

This is such a weak ass response from libs. This thread is about Obama, who by the way had complete control of congress, and failed miserably. Now you want republicans to save your failures when you can't get it done? Next thing you'll be crying racism when your failure of a president gets the boot. Pathetic....

I don't think having a +7% point change in GDP is failure what ever party is in power. I do think the Republicans are being petty obstructionists right now and ideological nincompoops.
 
Perhaps others have read this but its just too good to let pass.

As blogger Ed Morrissey notes, Obama previewed the blockbuster oration in an interview with NBC's Brian Williams:

Williams: Let's talk about another topic that's part of the firmament here and everywhere. And that's the economy. The New York Times said this weekend, "President Obama has another new plan on the economy. Now would be a good time to find out about it." Do you have anything new on the economy? And while you've been away, we had a horrible GDP number last month.

Obama: Well, look, we--we anticipated that the recovery was slowing. The economy is still growing, but it's not growing as fast as it needs to. I've got things right now in--before Congress that we should move immediately. And I've said so before I went on vacation, and I'll keep on saying when I--now that I'm back.

Are you nodding off? Wait, there's a punch line! That interview aired on Sunday, Aug. 29. How can that be, when today is Wednesday the 31st? The interview aired last year.

How does one "create jobs" when there is no money to spend? No money = no demand = no jobs? Also, if companies are making record profits (which they are) why would they hire anyone?

You don't like the argument because you have no answer to it: zip, zilch, nada. You folks whine about Obama 24/7/365 and yet you can't cite a single republican policy that wouldn't drive the economy into the ground.

And yet, not nearly as weak a response as not answering a question under the lame excuse as being off-topic. It's clear to me you're avoiding that question because you can't answer it. But if it makes you feel any better, your pathetic bluff, disguised as projection, is duly noted.

Love it more than the Democrat Alternative which was for more spending but obviously you ignored that part. What does that have to do with the dismal Obama Approval ratings. You and Sheik can get a discount for treatment of BDS.

Obama had two years, total control of the Congress and generated the results which have led to a 38% JAR, that says it all.

In 2007, the US economy entered a mortgage crisis that caused panic and caused other financial problems. The mortgage crisis was a result of too much borrowing and flawed financial modeling

THis is the role ACORN played.

I did not know ACORN did financial modeling, nor were its credit lines big enough to do much borrowing. How are they responsible for the economic collapses? Your statement ties ACORN to the problem just about as logically has tying the Colorado Rockies to it (afterall, the other unique about 2007 was the Rockies only world series appearance).

Sorry, but the economic collapse of 2007-2008 was extremely complex... and largely a supply side problem. There was a ton of money flowing from hedge funds and other money managers flowing into the market. Investors, a trendy group, were at the time fascinated with mortgage-backed securities and derivatives. The problem was that there was too much money chasing too few of solid deals. Hence, they went after less qualified deals.

I know a fair amount about what happened here as a did a fair amount of strategic consulting for a boiler-room style sub-prime mortgage originator in 2005 and 2006. You could see the house of cards from this vantage point pretty clearly..... This little company (less than $10M in revenue) had a $250M credit line with Countrywide and $100M with Lehman... they were able to make their own credit decisions, close and package the loans and "ship them" to the funding source. This company would earn as much as 10% of the loan value in fees. It was a blank check for the originator... all they needed was a warm-body owning a house with a social security number that would agree to take a mortgage.... to get this, they did OUTBOUND telemarketing talking people in financial trouble to take a 1st, 2nd or 3rd mortgage to fix their financial problems.

I suggest you do some more reading.... if you think ACORN had any significant role in this, you are ill-informed. It simply lacked the size and organization to have any impact on the US economy or elections... it was a benign organization.

I think you have said it all with a single post reposted 20,327 times. You have more re-runs than the TVLand network.
