•While President Obama claims to have inherited the 2009 budget deficit, it is important to note that the estimated 2009 budget deficit has increased by $400 billion since his inauguration, and the whole point of the “stimulus” was to increase deficit spending to nearly $2 trillion based on the unproven notion that would it alleviate the recession. •The 22 percent spending increase projected for 2009 represents the largest government expansion since the 1952 height of the Korean War (adjusted for inflation). Federal spending is up 57 percent since 2001.•In 2009, Washington will spend $30,958 per household–the highest level in American history–and under President Obama’s budget, the figure will rise above $33,000 by 2019. •The White House brags that it will cut the deficit in half by 2013. The President does not mention that the deficit has nearly quadrupled this year. Merely cutting it in half from that bloated level would still leave budget deficits twice as high as under President Bush. •The public national debt–$5.8 trillion as of 2008–is projected to double by 2012 and nearly triple by 2019. Thus, America would accumulate more government debt under President Obama than under every President in American history from George Washington to George W. Bush combined.
LOOK AT HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES...THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURES! How many ECONOMICS ADVISERS has been he appointed and LATER RESIGNED?! Numerous, and only about five different ones!
Many Many in AMERICA feel the economy is going in the WRONG way under Obama's regimes leadership (or lack thereof), and have as a deserted him! As a result, his popularity has been taking a Giant Nosedive!! What ever happened to much acclaimed promise for the Summer of Recovery for JOBS here in America...Oh yeah...like most of his policies, they didn't pan out and FAILED MISERABLY!
Still our government-controlled and sponsored liberal MEDIA gives this clown a free-pass in just about every bumbling thing that he does during his presidency. They seem to want to handle the clean end of this turdy situation with.

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".
NOW GET THIS !!
'Senator' Obama replied:
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warning people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ...."

When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "

TheresMyFriend: Hey Ray...just for fun...I would love to see what/how DUDE (Hot_Single_Dude) would react to this info! I can just see him now, stumbling, and stuttering...trying to figure out what to say to support his hero (obumer) !
Just a thought..... (The devil made me think of this idea)
Good post... -John-
I agree with you. The supporters of Obama are the ones that are not in direct line of his fire. If ones had to live within the means that Obama is making the lower and middle class live, then he can be their hero. I just wish they would take him to their country and out of ours.
venusenvy: Do all Americans just hate each other? In Canada we all make fun of each other, but there isnt hatred like this...I cant wrap my head around it. If your nation is collapsing, wouldnt that be the time to pull together instead of being a nation of haters??
If the administration that runs this country were better and had more knowledge, then maybe the people in it would pull together better. It is my opinion -- notice I said my opinion -- that if we could get the administration out of office, and replace with those wiser, more confident, Country Men/Women, this country would turn around. Until the current administration realizes that this country is crumbling around their ears and open their eyes, we will continue to 'hate' those around us as there is a dividing line among everyone as you can see from this thread and other threads about Obama.
I don't think you are. I believe that we needed that 'kick' in the butt, so to speak. It is very humbling to hear from another country 'friend' that tells us where we are in our way of thinking. To read what you have posted should make us realize the impacts of what we have done in the past and what we can do now and in our future.

Thank you.
Threads like that Dane is cranking out by the Dozen,and demonizes half of the US Population aren't helping either!
omgamike: This post is so full of it that I almost need to put on wading boots to complete it.
The stimulus was needed to prevent the country from going into a depression. The biggest complaint from economists was that it didn't go far enough, should have spent more, not the other way around. Where do you think the unemployment rate would be had it not been for the stimulus?
Another part of that "debt" increase was due to the bank bailouts, which were, by the way, created by greedy corporations and greedier financiers. The majority of which, I would bet, were those on the right side of the aisle.
Then, let's add to that debt the costs of two wars. Neither one of which was ever paid for. Both wars started by a Republican administration.
Social Security didn't add one penny to that debt. Medicaid costs have gone up, due to the increased unemployment, caused by those things I already mentioned. Medicare costs have gone up. But the people using it didn't cause the increases. In fact, medicare recipients pay each and every month into the system. Is less going into the system right now? Of course. Less people are unemployed.
HUGE tax cuts for the top 1% of the population caused about 800 billion dollars of that debt. And Obama "was" stupid to go along with it, so I also blame him for that one.
BUT, the vast, vast majority of that deficit and national debt I hang around the shoulders of those where it precisely belongs, the Republicans and greedy big businesses.
So, lay out "all" the facts, "correct" facts, before laying the blame totally on the Obama administration!!!!!
