Business is looking forward to more taxes, their customers are looking forward to more taxes, increased health care costs, investors will be seeing more taxes, card check, a business hostile president and a host of other issues.
.
I can't imagine why the economy is not taking off like a rocket.

President Obama is doing a fine job . Almost to the half way mark and the numbers are still steady and what little slippage been reported would not deem him unemployed in 2012. Look beyong negative tea party press , the G.O.P. still cant find a suitable person or machine that will work.

The economy is not taking off like a rocket because our rocket scientists moved to Russia when Obama dismantled our space program. If he would have designated more than 4 per cent of the stimulus money for highway and bridge development, the economy might take off like a hybrid with its tires adequately inflated with air.

The "right" direction O-bribe-a is talking about is down.

Even O-bribe-a has to be amazed at how easy it is to take down america.....and get congress to help him do it......

get ready for the final blow......20 million new broke azzed mexican citizens dumped on the economy and state budgets....

Every state in the Un-United States will look like California........

Keep sleeping america, it's too late too wake up now.......you're finished.....

international monetary fund warns u.s. to tighten fiscal policy. that means to stop spending. "continued fiscal stimulus would be more likely to push up interest rates and crowd out private sector growth." without private sector growth we will see no job gains to really move the percentage loss so far. obama wants a climate bill also. tim kaine a former governor of virginia, who is head of the democratic committee and a close ally of obami is spending 50 million! to try and persuade the 15 million voters to come back and vote. they will base their campaighn around alledged republican support for big business, icluding wall street and oil companies. the apology that joe barton extended to tony hayward, the chief of b.p. for the alledged white house shakedown. there is due process in a court of law and i'm sure this is what joe barton was referring to when he made this apology. b.p. does have good intentions and the guy who ran that rig is not talking.

I have noticed several of his stronger supporters in business have become luke warm or even negative on Obama.

The article didn't say HOW Obama was trying to restore confidence in the economy -- other than pointing out how he blamed Republicans.

"Confronting public pessimism about the economy, Obama also said the U.S. faces a choice between returning to what he calls failed economic policies of the past, or moving forward."

Moving forward? With what? Failed economic polices of the present? Obama has been on the job for over a year and a half.... when will he ever take responsibility?

Take responsibility for what?

Take responsibility for DEREGULATING the banking industry before he was a US Senator?

Take responsibility for getting us into TWO wars before he became president? A financial drain on our economy to the tune of millions of dollars daily?

A year and a half and stopping the freefall we were in before his being elected is not enough for you? Unemployment's freefall has stopped and more jobs are being created. REFORM of the healtcare industry will improve it as well over the long-haul, REFORM of the Banking industry will CERTAINLY improve it as well, as well as protect YOU as a consumer.

Not enough huh?

I guarentee you if McCain had been elected and this turn-around happened on his watch, Fox News after only a year and a half would hail him as the greates president since Ronald Reagan.

The President of the United States has ZERO control over the ups and downs of the American stock market. Without regulations in place, the market will forever be in control of speculators who can artificially make it rise and fall like the tides. Until government is given the power to do its job, we will be held hostage. With the blessing of every Republican who preaches against reform.

Change 'take responsibility' to 'using blame as a strategy.'

Like that better?

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Libra

Someone is convinced they're in the right under the Lunar Eclipse, and they don't care how they get their point across. If there's trouble in your neighborhood, get it sorted out by putting your thoughts down in a blog, or on paper. Don't let anyone, even siblings, treat you like this, even if you balk at standing your ground under this moody cloud. Travel plans may be upset, and spiritual pursuits, and dealings with foreigners or people of other cultures is subject to pressure too.
