The President has failed us

I have more than ten reasons why I would not vote for stiff, shifty, unlikeable RMoney and ten more reasons why I could not vote for the Republicant Party of No.
If the republicants were the only choice in November I would have to sit this election out.
No can do with the vote for the Party of No.

d'Oh!

The speech acknowledged a long term national debt, against 'W' it was criminal.
Today he pushes the restart button, Hil should have told him that the gesture was tried and failed.

<quoted text>Though your argument may make you all warm and comfy, it lacks intestinal fortitude.
Our current status punishes those that work hard and rewards those that do no work at all. This in itself dooms social welfare or social justice. When you remove reward you remove motivation and the society crumbbles and collapses into oblivion. Taking from the haves to give to the have nots only breeds contempt and slothfulness.
Sad truth is America has more people in prisons per capita than any other nation in the world. America the free? Really. Your social justice at work I'm sure.
Where is your outrage when America throws money at foreign nations for disasters and famines when we have starving and homeless all around us. That money could be better served here feeding and educating the poor for better lives. We hear all the time to throw money at education and yet America is no where near the top in educational standards of the world as it once was. Why? Because we don't demand or reward performance. We pat on the back and send students on their way regardless if they can read or write.
Americans used to be more charitable until the Gov stepped in to "help". Now whenever there's a need...run to Uncle Sam rather than your neighbor or prepare for the future for oneself.
Record profits? Why? Because businesses are scared as hell to reinvest right now because of that empty suit in office. Too bad you are clueless about capitalism and how business works. Why would you hire if the future and current economies are weak? You hire folks because you NEED them. Not because it feels good to give someone a paycheck for sitting around on their rumps.
I'll leave you with this:
Liberals are conservative when it comes to personal charity whereas Conservatives are rather liberal when it comes to personal charity.
Sad to say that there are many, many studies that bear this out. So, stop complaining and open your own damn wallet for once!

Hey, if you can take a few minutes send us a postcard from that planet you are on! We are here on a place called Earth, it's tiny blue speck among many others and it is nothing like what you are describing you people must be pretty desperate eh!

Obviously, since they were all better Presidents than Ronnie Ray-gun. Ronnie, senile and half-asleep most of the time by his own admission, ran the crookedest administration since that of Warren G. Harding.

So much for your honesty or intelligence.

I dunno Forrest, but I'm afraid you got the parties mixed up, all that class warfare stuff, no democrat has ever mentioned it - I wonder why that is? Oh, here is a little secret for you Forrest, the rich do not create jobs, nope, job-creation comes from the middle class, you know, the guys that buy stuff, the stuff that keeps the economy steaming by creating demand! You could look at the middle class as this big huge spending machine that never stops, it goes on 24/7, unless, of course, they run out of money. Sooo, explain to us Forrest, why is it that today, right now, only the wealthy have money the middle class is broke, that big spending machine has stopped. Are you with me here Forrest are you paying attention? The middle class creates ‘demand’ and demand creates ‘jobs’! Come on Forrest you can think for yourself can't you? Oh you can't sorry about that ... so why tax those that have more money than God – no let’s tax those with no money and cut all and Gov’t programs that actually funnels money to them, make them even more broke -- it’s ingenious don’t you think!?

Where are the jobs the "Rich have provided?'
The Rich are buying our Gov from local levels and you are not paying attention. Koch Bros own wisconsin and they are working on Ohio, and FL.

Businesses are sitting on record profits as well as cash reserves will not create jobs when there are no customers in sight. The President has called for action on a jobs plan that would include measures to rebuild our infrastructure and put a devastated construction industry to work, aid to states and cities to rehire police and teachers, direct programs to hire veterans, and tax reforms that would reduce the incentives companies have to move jobs abroad.
Instead the Republican Congress insists on ever deeper cuts at the federal level, while reducing aid to the states. They have even obstructed passage of a transportation bill that has always had bipartisan support and is strongly needed. Layoffs of public employees add to the human toll the recession takes, while hurting the economy. As a number of European countries have shown, austerity in the midst of recession is self-destructive. Republicans are practicing ‘leech economics.’ Like the Medieval practice of applying leeches to convalescing patients, it causes pain without benefit. It only adds to the suffering by so many, driving the economy into recession which ends adding to deficits, and worsening the ratio of debt to GDP. It is time for Congress to act.

The FACT is that the Congress has about 30 jobs bills that have already passed the House and good o'l Harry Reid won't allow any of them to be brought up for discussion or debate, especially not a vote. So it would seem that Harry is doing this just so he can continue to say the R's are obstructionist and won't let anything through to create jobs so the president (who can't run on his own bad record) will have someone else to blame and a way to distract from Obama's record.
Tell Harry Reid to allow votes on the jobs bills sitting in the Senate that he won't allow to be brought to the floor! Tell Harry to ACT!

Ahh robust 'domestic' demand." Sigh! Those were the days. Days when the middle class could make purchases without concern that they could pay the bill. Now, thanks to the Right, the scattered remnant of the middle class is in survival mode, scraping by and trying to hold on to any promise things will get better. Is the left up for the big fight? They have the truth and reality behind them to back them up it’s a fight for their life – literally!

Florida police made public two notes handwritten by Deborah Jeane Palfrey this weekend, touching off debate on whether her hanging was in fact suicide or staged to look so. At least one reporter is claiming the DC Madam mentioned she'd kill herself before returning to prison, but another interviewer has aired recent audio of Palfrey warning that if she was found dead, it would be murder.

Initial reports of Palfrey's death conclusively ruled it a suicide, a bit hasty considering the magnitude of the sensitive secrets she held. I first heard the news on an NPR broadcast Thursday afternoon which included an official's soundbyte on how relatives are victimized in suicides, a strange generalization that pointed blame at Palfrey for hurting her own mother before any other details of the case were released. This statement was attached to the breaking news by an "imbedded pundit", only raising suspicion of media manipulation in the earliest going.

Any intelligent debate is impossible with this lack of detail available so far. We're told the letters were penned a few days before her body was discovered hanged in her mother's shed, left on a nearby motel stand, though we don't know when investigators first saw them. Police say relatives confirmed her handwriting, but we know virtually nothing about their opinion on the letters, her physical condition or other clues. We are not told whether the shed or hotel room was forensically examined. Her autopsy was conducted quietly and quickly, though a final report is due this week after toxicology results come in.

Palfrey's note used a number of clichéd expressions, strangely including "modern day lynching", referring to the extremely selective enforcement that found her guilty in federal court and a darkly ironic reference to her impending manner of death.

In the note to her sister, she writes "With complete certainty, I believe Dad is standing watch - prepared to guide me into the light". Only a close relation would know if this echoed her true feelings and beliefs, or if the statement was coded to signal a forced hand.

Among Palfrey's known clients were current Louisiana Senator Vitter, former AIDS Czar Randall Tobias, Dick Morris and military-industrial wonk Harlan Ullman, but Dick Cheney's McLean, VA phone number, reported earlier was summarily un-reported after a turnaround by ABC News.

And the reason Romney is an unknown quantity is because he is NEVER put side-by-side with Obama for comparison, which means there is a strong perception that Romney has little or nothing with which to compete against Obama.
The more Obama is attacked and NOTHING about his opponent is stated, the more Obama is favored.

It's vice versa sweetie.

The Fact Is????
Nice try Forrest, why don’t you document it so we all can have a good laugh, none of those bills will ever see the light of day and the GOPers know it! The House is passing bills that they know will be dead on arrival in the Senate, even with Republicans.
