I warned that BO would attempt to booster his power by getting as many people as possible hooked on government control of their lives: http://news.investors.com/Article/6...nt-dependence-jumps-under-president-obama.htm
Hilarious once again! The Right creates the deepest recession since the Great Depression and faults the guy that is digging us out of their mess. Again, your hangover isn't the fault of the guy making you breakfast.
......it's all part of the plan. He doesn't blame anyone for these numbers, rather he takes credit and is proud of these numbers. To BO & the leftists these aren't numbers to be ashamed of, these are numbers that prove he is making progress towards his ultimate goal of having everyone subjected to his benevolent government. It's all about control, man....control.
I'd never fault the guy trying to dig the country out of its mess. I sure would like it if he would show up for work soon, though, since it's a shovel-ready project for sure and no one in power seems to be doing much about it.
In any recession this country has ever had, the unemployment numbers are always the last to recover. Why not look at the stock market? Why not look at the GDP? Why not look at manufacturing? I'll tell you why. Those other economic indicators tell a story the RW can't abide. In other words, they show that we are moving in the right direction in this country.
I don't mind the guy serving me breakfast after a hangover. But, I don't want rotten eggs, spoiled milk and moldy bread - thank you very much.
Do you have evidence of this assertion? Please don't ask me to look it up for myself. I'm trying to get into describing the patient-centered medical home for my sham of a paper.
Unemployment - A Lagging or Coincident Indicator In the last two recessions unemployment was a lagging indicator peaking approximately 18 months after the recession officially ended. In the four recessions between 1970 and 1982 unemployment was a coincident indicator, starting to rise with the recession and pretty much peaking as the economy was just starting to recover. In no instances was unemployment a leading indicator. View attachment 372
How interesting that in your own chart that supposedly proves your point, it is lagging only twice, but coincident (i.e. not lagging or last) 4 times. I wonder what that means! BTW,"In any recession this country has ever had, ...." sounds a bit like an absolute statement to me, but then you have not edumacated me yet.
I count 6 red bands on there along with 6 arrows. I guess you are going to have to edumacate me how you read charts also.
Time for some cold hard facts folks, you say that more are reliant on Gov help now that is true, what would you rather they starved? now look at the larger picture about your country and ask is this the way you want to go Is the stock market in free fall or have the figures improved vastly since President Obama took Office? No it is in a much healthier place now http://www.businessweek.com/news/20...to-send-global-equities-into-bull-market.html Has a Major Bank or Insurance firm gone to the wall since He took over? (No but A number of small ones have 7 this year but the figures for last year was 11 at the same point in time) How many major firms Now say they require bailouts? (Well in a way yes the Mortgage industry) but if you dont help out now the problem will just get a whole lot worse and your reliance on gov handouts will increase greatly if more folks become homeless. Are banks once again making profits? Yes times might be somewhat sluggish but they are no longer loosing cash the way they were when he took office http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204531404577054040536447740.html Has the $ tanked? Little clue again (I got $2.50 to the £1 when he took office, I now get $1.50 aprox to the £1) Have foreclosure continued to rise at the same pace as when he took office? http://www.propertywire.com/news/north-america/us-foreclosure-filings-down-201101194873.html So is this the way you want to continue moving or do you want to put the brakes on all he has done and reverse it so you return to the same situation that he took office under?
..but of course you warned us David. Now since I didn't see any quotations around your statement or any sources I will assume these are your beliefs. Hence what I have put in bold type. I don't feel that it is a secret to anyone that has been here on PL for any time that you don't like our current President Barack Obama. Ok. Fine. We get it. What I do find interesting is how you seem to know his "plan" and "ultimate goal". You know the goal of "control". If you are some type of prophet then can you answer this question for me. Pretty please? How will his "ultimate goal" benefit him when he's no longer President? He could lose the next election and even if he doesn't it would only be four more years. I'm pretty sure he has money and ,if not mistaken, you've pointed this out on occasion. So once again what's in it for him? Why have an "ultimate goal" if you don't directly benefit? Now IF he wins re-election and proposes being able to run indefinitely I'll heed your warning. IF he runs for a 3rd term using the name of Barry Sotero(sp?) I'll really wonder. In the meantime I will NOT buy into the "be real scared and paranoid" angle. It seems VERY counter productive to me.
Now clembo you know better than anyone here that I was saying this exact same thing since before BO took over, remember? Let's try being a little more honest & a little less long-winded, shall we?
Now David let's try being a little more honest here. Nice deflection from answering the question by you. Hmmm.... Kinda looks like I DID address the fact that you "warned" us and it's been going on for quite some time. Apparently though you just didn't catch that part or are not able to comprehend it so I'll share with the class. Hey kids! David has been afraid of President Obama since before he was President! Perhaps I should have added this was going on when the site was PRWE and NOT Partisan Lines? Anyhow I could go on about this by bringing up really old threads etc. to prove it but that would be too long winded of course. Those that were back here in the PRWE days know it if they ever bothered to read what you had to say in your infinite wisdom. Or maybe they read it for laughs. Again. "I don't feel that it is a secret to anyone that has been here on PL for any time that you don't like our current President Barack Obama. Ok. Fine. We get it." Darn it! I'm getting long winded again. Let's see. I think I asked a question in my last post. Now what was it? Oh! I know! "What I do find interesting is how you seem to know his "plan" and "ultimate goal". You know the goal of "control". If you are some type of prophet then can you answer this question for me. Pretty please? How will his "ultimate goal" benefit him when he's no longer President?" So, I'll ask again David. How is it you know President Obama's plan and ultimate goal and how will it benefit him when he's no longer President? It's a two part question and I already said pretty please once. Thanks in advance. Clembo
Now, clembo, you know I'm not going to waste my time reading your entire post so, if you have a question, please isolate it from the drivel & ask it clearly and succinctly. I'll be happy to answer.
Well David the fact that you can't muddle through entire posts is a good indication of why you are so often wrong. Besides you wouldn't have had to read much of my first post to make your response and IT was wrong. I DID isolate it from the drivel as it is David. After all, the only drivel in my posts were quotes from you. As it is David I post longer posts just for you sometimes. I'm pretty sure you read them in their entirety as it benefits you. You see, David, I'm such a nice guy I give you the opportunity to dodge, deflect, twist or spin. Predictably you always do. You don't answer a question because you either can't or won't or both. Predictable. Now, I'll post again David. It well be real simple. It will be a question.
So, I'll ask again David. How is it you know President Obama's plan and ultimate goal and how will it benefit him when he's no longer President? You can use lots of words in your response
