    What planet are you on? Liberals trash the military all the time - until a liberal gets in the White House. Liberals tell us that the only reason people go into the military is because they are too stupid or to poor to go to college.

    In fairness, he might do Ok in the lower ranks of young people joining right out of high school for one hitch, but among the officer class and non-com career guys, he would be considered mostly a joke.

    At least we both agree that you are a huge ball of fail...

    Nice try, but this mole whacks back with facts and available evidence while you are armed with a whiffle-ball bat of echos from the Fox bubble.

    While I agree that unemployment remains stubbornly high, the mere fact that it has come down much at all is a testament to the resilience of the American economy in the face of an unprecedented campaign by the GOP to block anything Obama wants to do to improve things. Of course, they are doing this because they want to regain the White House this year and the best path to it is to see that the economy stays stagnant.

    You realize that Keystone is going to go forward with a different route, right?

    As far as the moratorium, it affected 33 of over 1200 rigs, a minuscule action taken as a result of the biggest oil spill in American history. Forgive me if I posit that the actions taken in the aftermath of the BP spill were completely reasonable and warranted.


    Yes, it is, the result of mismanagement by Bush and his cronies as evidenced by the graphic I posted that showed exactly where the deficit came from.

    The officer class and career non-com class is pretty conservative.

    If it happens "all the time," then you should have no trouble finding some prominent examples. Have fun with that and TIA for the examples.

    Interesting...

    Would you also agree that it's silly to assume the groundwork for the current economic mess wasn't also laid during W's time?

    If that's "good enough for you", then we have different visions for America.

    Obama has failed on gasoline prices, unemployment and the national balance sheet.

    Price of oil peaked in 2008 at 145 and 2011 average or any single data point 2012 has not surpassed or even approached 2008 figures.

    Unemployment has gone down.

    Please define the "balance sheet disaster"

    No, it isn't "good enough," which is the reason I will do everything I can to kick the GOP out of Congress so that Obama can do some things to help reduce it even more during his second term.

    So, now that you have been smacked down with evidence, you go to the Fox tactic of repeating the lie over and over again, hoping that the addle-brained among us will believe you.

    Have fun with your lies, have even more fun being my beyotch.

    Gas prices are double what they were when Obama took office. The unemployment rate has been above 8% for quarter after quarter (and the real unemployment rate is closer to 11%). And Obama piled up more debt in 3 years than Bush did in 8.

    It seems like you're employed and you can afford high gasoline prices. I don't give a **** about it. Why should you? My guess is that you just need things to cry about when you know it doesn't affect you at all.

    Gas prices more than doubled during Bush's second term, peaking in July 2008. Prices then plummeted for six months afterwards because we were in the worst deflationary recession we've had since the Great Depression. You don't honestly believe Bush's awesome economic policies helped bring gas prices down the last six months of his term, do you?

    Unemployment grew exponentially the last year of Bush's term and the first year of Obama's term...again during the worst deflationary recession we've had since the Great Depression. Since peaking mid-2009, it's been decreasing steadily. While I believe there are plenty of things that should have been done to decrease unemployment even more, it's silly to put 100% of the blame on either administration.

    Not all government debt is created equal. The $800 billion bailout ended up in the hands of the private sector. The $800 billion spent in Iraq and Afghanistan is a sunk cost. Which is preferable to you?
