Open your eyes!
I don't really care what the rest of the world thinks. I have my opinion and thats good enough.
People are starting to realize that Obama isn't the savior they thought he would be. Unemployment is worse, the stock market is still falling and people aren't seeing any of that hope and change. Well - the change is happening, it's just for the worse.
Obama watches the polls, and he really wants everyone to love him. So maybe these falling numbers will slow down this regime - one can only hope.![]()
Is this a bad thing?
He's still my president.
Most Obama supporters before he even won the presidency:
"It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Even if Obama does everything right, the economy is still likely going to tank."
Most Obama detractors in response:
"OMG U THINK HEZ JESUS! MESSIAH 2.0! OBAMA IS THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET."
It's amazing that this non-argument continues to take place. But if that makes you feel better about imagining things that were said, and then attacking people for what was never said, THEN talking about how right you were when you argue against points that were never made.... well... more power to you, I guess.
I wonder if you conservatives have figured out that you are actually helping Obama. I am also including the conservative media when I make this claim. You are now tying the economy aorund Obama's neck.. " It's his now his" proclaims hannity.. "he's taking a hit in the polls because of HIS bad economy".. Well don't you people realize that you have made it possible for Obama to reap all of the benefits politically when the economy does turn around? We all know the economy will rebound so now you have set up Obama as being the saviour after all...
This is why short sighted political manuvering never works... You bash him today not thinking about tomorrow...
maybe I should thank you guys..![]()
They have to hope things get worse over the next three years. I fully expect some losses in congress for the Democrats in 2010 for the simple ridiculousness of their gains in 08.
Because, if the economy gets good, they'll find some reason to say it's not Obama's economy.
A lucky break would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yep.
That's the worst thing about politics in this country in general. I imagine it's the same in other nations, as well.
How 'bout we go by what the President said:
After spending the first months of his presidency telling us all this was the worst economic crisis since the depression (only to have his Berkshire-Hathaway buddy take him out to the woodshed for overplaying his hand), he tells us the first stimulus is necessary or we'll see unemployment hit 9% by the end of summer. With the stimulus, we're told, it'll stay under 8%.
Now that we've busted 9.5%, Slow Joe tells us they had no idea how bad things were.
C'mon, was it as bad as the President told us or not?
We're in the very best of hands...
I particularly liked how Obama has had to call home, twice now, to set Joe and Rahm straight on matters.
His numbers are about as accurate as the CBO numbers always are I bet.
When will people learn not to trust this crowd?
Well, WC, as Darrin pointed out, they are:

I think my chart is more realistic than their projection:
Now the recovery wont be as fast, but since they were optimistic, I'll do the same. In reality, the recovery slope will likely be longer.
You need to add 4 points to your vertical axis.
So, you predict we'll be in recovery when the Republicans kick ass in 2012? And, I don't think the Democrats are going to get a chance for any more "plans" come the 2010 midterms.
Well, I tried to keep everything on the original graph rather than extend it in either direction. Believe me, I think unemployment will go higher too.
I do think republicans will gain ground in 2010, but not enough to matter.
After all, the Mayans predicted the death of the democrats in 2012, right? At least we can hope that what their calender means.
I understand...
Obamacare is already on the skids and Cap and Tax is going no where, thanks to Senator Byrd. They've put it off to September with the hope he's back in the hospital.
Most of the "Stimulus" spending is set to kick in around the mid terms. I'm sure that was by design. But, unless things get better, quick...Obama and the Democrats will be screwed by then.
That's why you're hearing talk of another "Stimulus" package now.
World ends; Poor, minorities, homeless, and Democrats most affected.
At the bottom it says rasmussenreports. So I'll take a wild guess and say Rasmussen. It's just a guess though.
Boy, oh boy... Did he ever fail to use the force.
Yoni & WC, give the guy a break...he had incomplete information.
