a single person can not divide a country.
silly poll.
silly poll.
In my lifetime, I have never seen a President try to divided a country more than Obama. He campaigned on being the great uniter and ends up being just the opposite. The examples are too numerous to list.
I've pretty much stated it, drop the theory and get out of the way.Not shown above: ideas on what he should be doing.

The people of this country are very good at running businesses, the government is overregulating just about everything from labor to safety to health insurance and it's choking the economy to death, that's why I said they just need to get out of the way.All you've provided is vague rhetoric and zero ideas. If I used the same argument with the politician of your liking you'd laugh me out of this forum (and rightfully so). But if all you can provide is fuzzy feelings and zero specifics then it reveals you don't understand very clearly yourself what you don't like about Obama's leadership.
To be honest, lately I've been feeling like it was 1978. Misery index, nuclear whatnot, foreign threats, and no leadership...

What part is eluding you? The government in all branches is choking off productivity and the economic capabilities of the nation, there's nothing vague about it.More vague rhetoric. You're clearly confused.

If we had double digit inflation and double digit interest rates, it would be just like Jimmy Carter. Carter made me and my family the poorest we had ever been because we owed lots of money at 20%+ interest. I have managed to save some money since so if we had it now, I am not sure I would complain as much
Dude, it's obvious. Stop with the damn "talk radio" schtick, it's ECON 101, it's any honest MBA program, it's in the newspapers.Anybody could have typed the above. All you've heard is rhetoric from am radio, apparently, and rhetoric is all you can reproduce here.
I'm really starting to think you don't understand what is meant by "specific." "Specific" isn't "stop being president" or "get out of the way." A gnat could provide that insight. And please put a little more thought into your response before you smash the "submit reply" icon and come back with the painfully predictable "if a gnat could get it, what's Obama's excuse" or some similar asshattery.
Aren't you even just a little embarrassed that it's page six and not one person can provide a specific alternative leadership decision that Obama could have made? If the roles were reversed and Bush were being discussed I'd be cringing.

Whatever the official inflation rate is, it doesnt take a lot of shopping to see prices have gone up 10-30% on most items over the past 5-8 years.
Alot of that is tied to transportation/fuel rates, some of it is the cost of Obamacare and the hit profit margins are taking from that and depending on industry some EPA regs will cause that as well.
Don't condescend to me, you want to know about specific **** ups ask, but if you think that we are in an economically conducive period you are kidding yourself. If you think all these theories that the president keeps on life support from last century which have a 100% failure rate, such as his labor econ theories, the use of the Keynsian model, fiat currency, among others are worth fighting for then I don't know what to tell YOU.Never mind, you're hopeless.
Ends up having the same effect though, don't it? Your money doesn't go as far.

But then you have the swing effect of real estate jobs dissipating, then you still have to flip properties so the values have to stabilize, and of course the ripple effects of unemployment change every single market.yeah, just have to take advantage of other things that have presented themselves with this administration, for instance:
We owned 2 rental properties before Obama, we now own 12. Foreclosures, more people renting instead of buying has made this a lucrative rental market.
First act is to repeal the NLRB, EPA loses all regulatory power to be deferred back to congress, EPA may only enforce through warrant. Second act, remand health and safety issues to the individual states. Third act, engage in tax reform debate. Fourth act is a complete audit of medical, tort, and insurance law in the U.S. with the goal of streamlining.Okay, the old stuff isn't working. Let's try something else.
You, Lamidrighter, have just been elected president. It is your first day in office, and hoo boy, is our country a mess. No confidence in the market, blue collar and white collar jobs are being sent en masse to other countries, North Korea is belligerent, China overtaking us in the world market, our infrastructure is deteriorating and our educational system is in shambles.
Your first, second and third acts as president are.....
....aaaaand go.

What else ya got?
You asked me what I thought the problem was. Now, if you don't see where those bodies are getting in the way of economics then I don't know what to tell you. You literally cannot get away from government interference and that stops competition, it keeps startups from getting traction, it stops productivity. All I did was expand what I was talking about.Jesus H Mother of Christ, that was all I was asking for. Obviously I don't actually agree with you, but at least you finally answered.
Gotcha, I misunderstood and thought you were flipping. Rental properties are always great if you can stay ahead of taxes and maintenance.We are lucky to have fairly low unemployment and a college in town, so renters are plentiful
This is very true. I do not know if these luncheons or what ever will work, it may be a beginning or it may not. It may be that Obama is serious, then again it may be just for publicity to show independents he is trying to reach across the aisle. Yep, for sure, time will tell.
