How to predict the outcome of the US election | Hadley Freeman

Considering how the unpatriotic right-wing has done everything to talk down the economy over the past few years, and with Europe and the Middle East in turmoil it is amazing to see President Obama’s polling even or above RINO Romney for the upcoming election… that is why most right-wing tea-bagging nuts are worried that their best chance to defeat Obama was wasted on a guy with the personality of wet white rice sitting in a cooler with ice on top, and not a true conservative to boot, LOL.

hhahahahahahaah lying as usual maggotcorps.

POLL: Obama rapidly losing support among black voters...That explains Obama’s new ads pandering to the black folks, with an elitist saying,“ We Got To Let The President See We Got His Back”………why is he running away. What if Romney did an ad only for Whites……………there would be a chit storm.

OBAMA: The Private Sector Is Fine………

DEFICIT DOUBLES IN YEAR

Jewish support in NY drops 22%-- in 1 month!

UNION MEMBERS BAIL...

You are giving wet white rice a bad name when you compare Rmoney to white rice!

I think "shifting shifty sands" is a better analogy.

I genuinely feel sorry for caring American parents and grand parents. Obama will use the minorities and the ultra greedy unions to win in November.

Good hearted Americans won't stand a chance of taking the White House back from Obama.

meanwhile, your utter adoration of the biggest snake oil salesman ever to win the white house continues unabated...

i have come to the conclusion you're not actually a hypocrite...
you're not smart enough.

Forty-two fundraisers just to NYC alone in three years! Between fundraisers and golf when does Obama find time to preside over the most important and powerful country in the history of the modern world?

Romney doesn’t want to help you — I do, I just haven’t been able to......OBAMA!!..Sounds like a loser..DO IT???

Twenty years after James Carville’s “It’s the economy, stupid,” he and pollsters Stanley Greenberg and Erica Seifert have put on paper what many in their party have been privately grumbling about for months: It’s still the economy, stupid. And, they say, Obama talking about how a lousy economy is getting better isn’t doing him any favors with the American people or moving him closer to victory in November.

“These voters are not convinced that we are headed in the right direction. They are living in a new economy — and there is no conceivable recovery in the year ahead that will change the view of the new state of the country,” the memo reads.“They actually have a very realistic view of the long road back and the struggles of the middle class — and the current narrative about progress just misses the opportunity to connect and point forward.”

Household net worth has dropped to the lowest levels in 20 years. Adjusted for inflation, wages have been flat since Obama took office. And a disappointing May jobs report signaled things might be getting worse.

Meanwhile, the Buffett rule is dead. Obama’s jobs bill mostly went nowhere. Things don’t look so hot for student loan subsidies, either.

That leaves Obama with a message that’s hardly the stuff rallying cries are made of: Romney doesn’t want to help you — I do, I just haven’t been able to

ITS STILL THE ECONOMY STUPID!!

Majority America is soooo sick and tired of this shitbird and Holder doing everything in their power to enable minorities to have power over the Majority.

Their colored and racist chickens are coming home to rooste in November with MAJORITY Americans telling them like Charlie the Tuna.

"Sorry Charlie" your a God Dam RACIST SOCIALIST and worst.

Yes it is still the economy, and the Obama people have no clue about how to encourage hiring, or savings. If this was the first year of Obamas first term he could be excused for doing less then what is necessary, but he has less then 200 days to prove he is not a worse President then Carter.

John Boehner: "We are not going to raise taxes on the very people that we expect to reinvest in our economy and to help grow jobs."

So are the "job creators" creating jobs or not? Are they failing their economic duties or should the government step in and fulfill their duties?

What has Rich Money and his 1% so-called "job creators" been doing the past 10+ years with the tax savings? They’ve been rewarding each other for failures instead of reinvesting in creating jobs.

A golden parachute has been defined as an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. Most definitions specify the employment termination is as a result of a merger or takeover[1][2][3], also known as "Change-in-control benefits".[4] But more recently the term has been used to describe excessive CEO (and other executives) severance packages unrelated to change in ownership.[5] The benefits may include severance pay, cash bonuses, stock options, or other benefits.

7 Of The Most Outrageous Severance Packages In Recent Wall Street History

Tom Montag

If you ever need to negotiate an exit from your current employer and have Tom Montag's number - call him.

First he left Goldman Sachs for Merrill Lynch in May 2008. Merrill Lynch bought out his remaining Goldman compensation package for approximately $10 million.

Then, when Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America in January 2009, BofA bought out all of Montag's Merrill Lynch options, vested and unvested, for a value of $29.9 million.

He stayed at BofA, where he is now co-COO.

A little background on Montag: he was once one of the largest individual taxpayers in Japan and he was the one that called that one deal that totally caused the financial crisis 'shitty.'

==========

Peter Kraus

Peter and Tom definitely talked this thing over.

Kraus joined Merrill at the same time as Montag, with a similar buyout of his Goldman compensation package.

Kraus, however, did not stay on at Bank of America and collected his $25 million severance package.

It was rumored that his split from BofA was in part related to his 'flashy' behavior, which included brandishing his bright green blackberry in meetings.

He consoled himself by buying at $36.6 million apartment and later becoming CEO of AllianceBernstein.

==========

Joe Cassano

Technically, the guy who lit the fuse at AIG did decline his severance.

But only after his CEO begged regulators to allow the failed insurer to retain Cassano as a consultant at $1 million per month and public uproar ensued.

The irony of the idea that Cassano was needed for his '20-year knowledge' of credit derivatives after that same knowledge decimated AIG is enough to land him on this list.

==========

==========

Hank Paulson

Wait, he didn't get a severance package, right? Think again.

When he accepted President George W. Bush's nomination as Treasury Secretary, he was forced to sell his approximately $500 million dollars in Goldman shares.

Nothing wrong with that.

The real severance payment?

Because of a seldom utilized tax loophole, Paulson paid no capital gains taxes on this sale. That's right, not a single cent, saving him an estimated $200 million.

==========

Martin Sullivan

Not surprisingly, Joseph Cassano's old boss had a bit of an warped view of what constituted acceptable behavior.

When he was fired as CEO of AIG, Sullivan collected $47 million.

Later, he named as one of the 'Worst CEOs Of All Time' by Time Magazine.

==========

Stanley O'Neal

After leaving Merrill Lynch with an $8 billion write down, O'Neal left the firm with a total of $160 million.

While not technically severance pay, when Merrill claimed that the pay was for performance in previous years as CEO, questions were raised.

The assets that lead to his departure and dragged down Merrill's balance sheet to such an extent that Bank of America was called in to acquire the firm were purchased during those years when O'Neal's performance apparently merited such a massive payout.

========

Chuck Prince

While Citigroup claimed in regulatory filings that it was not technically severance pay, when Chuck 'We're Still Dancing' Prince received $29.5 million in stock options, grants and perks when he left as CEO in the wake of billions of dollars in asset write downs.

He also received approximately $13 million in cash for his performance during the same year when those write downs occured.

AND RICH MONEY'S AND PAUL RYAN'S PLAN IS MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE 1%.

You people are nuts. No on has an "economic duty" to hire anyone. Your first duty is to your business. Right now is a horrible time to hire. There is the threat of higher taxes, and insurance costs hanging over your head until after the election. When you are concerned with the quality of the workers then you can talk about hiring people. Half the workers can't read, and write or operate computers.Businesses will begin hiring right after the election.

Paper ballots counted by HAND like all the Grown-up nations of the World.

Paper ballots are obsolete. They make it very easy to commit vote fraud. Democrats know this, that is why they long for the old days when you could stuff boxes full of votes for where ever they were needed. They don't even pretend they want a clean election. Obama is now losing black votes, and 38% of the Union households. You cannot lie to people, right to their face, and expect them to give you their vote.

I don't hate people who make money. I dislike people who are given OBSCENE bonuses for FAILURE. Those people FAILED their companies and given OBSCENE bonuses for it. They're not MAKING money. They are ROBBING it from the people who actually work at their companies. Get your facts straight before you start spewing at the mouth.
