Bush-McCain Economy: Unemployment Rises for 8th Straight Month

Most Americans have more trust in Obama to manage most issues: healthcare, the economy , and energy policies why? because How can we trust McCain who has said a couple of times that he doesn't know anything about economics and doen't know how many houses he owns? to me McCain is McCBush

March 2008, that almost two years with the Democrats in charge of Congress. Why do you still blame President Bush and Senator McCain, yet absolve Senator Obama, Senator Reid, Senatraitor Murtha and Speaker Pelosi of any responsiblity.

Bush did mess it up by making the tax cuts permanent. While Republicans talk of fiscal responsibility, they actually never are true to their word. Tax cuts do stimulate the economy based upon Keynesian economic theory, however Keynes also insisted that taxes must be raised during the expansionary period to avoid deficit spending. Making permanent tax cuts undermines the mechanism that function cyclically and creates record deficits. Another consequence is the devaluation of the dollar. Since oil is traded on the international market based on the "petrodollar", speculators have traded on the weakness in the dollar and driven the price of oil through the roof. This also comes back and haunts the economy in the form of inflation. Bush's refusal to address his mistakes and invasion of Iraq which also drove up the price of oil, has brought down the economy and endangered America's security.Now McCbush want do the same thing.

No surprise. Everything is getting worst.
But Sen. McCain said something in his speach lastnight that I didn't understand.
In regards to all of those that lost their jobs due to businesses moving overseas. Sen. McCain said that he would help find them new ones that didn't move overseas. What did that mean exactly?

What he ment was he employ the unemployed installing windows, haven't you heard. Now he needs to employ a doctor to install one in his belly button.

"The impression that McCain and the media has attempted to portray of McCain's 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam is about as far from the truth that one could possible go.

McCain, from the first moments of his capture, had behaved as a COLLOBORATOR and propaganda tool for his North Vietnamese captors.

McCain had engaged in no less than 30, and likely as many as 38 anti-American propaganda broadcasts for Radio Hanoi during the period of his captivity.

Far from the image of a dedicated American "hero" sweating it out in a North Vietnamese prisoner's "hotbox" for 5 1/2 years, McCain was often given "special" treatment by his captors, who were fully aware of his father's and grandfather's 4 star admiral positions with the Navy.

No one has ever witnessed McCain's supposed "torture" at the hands of his jailers.

The consensus opinion of other POWs in McCain's camps was that McCain was NEVER tortured by the North Vietnamese.

McCain's disgraceful and wholly reprehensible conduct (along with John Kerry) during the 1991-93 Senate Committee on POW/MIAs leaves no doubt that McCain is a traitor to this country and its veterans and especially to the families of POWs and MIAs."

Do you believe all blogs or just the ones that say negative things about McCain and Palin?

And when were you held as prisoner of war for 5 years?

Reading most of these post I have come to realize that maybe we do need to become a socialist country. There are so many of you that seems not to be able to take care of yourselves. That you do need someone to run your daily lives.

And since many of you blame the President for all of your problems, then way do we need city and state government,the federal government and so on? Since one person is responsible for every little detail in the running this country and your lives.

And if the democrats are so great, why did they go on vacation during these terrible economic times?

The Obama-Ayers-Dohrn Connection

Aside from Pennsylvania, the recurrent buzz this week has been Obama's connection to terrorists/criminals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. The conservative blogosphere has been particularly dilligent in covering yet another of Obama's alarming connections. Power Line's John Hinderaker describes them as "famous radicals, and fugitives from the law, in the late 1960s and early 1970s." In 1995, they held a fundraiser for Obama, and Obama continues to defend his relationship with them despite their anti-American comments as late as 2007. Hot Air's Ed Morrissey explains why all of this is important: "Obama and the Left want to demand an end to the probing of the years-long Obama-Ayers association as irrelevant. Never mind that Ayers has openly bragged of bombing the Pentagon. Never mind that Obama and Ayers voted to give $75,000 to Rashid Khalidi, a Yasser Arafat protege in the PLO, during their tenure with the Woods Foundation."

The past two days, John Hinderaker posted numerous audio clips of Ayers's and Dohrn's hateful comments both past and present. Radio host Guy Benson uncovered the audio. "These clips show that Obama's pals are as unhinged as ever, and they severely undermine Team Obama's spin that Ayers and Dohrn are now 'respectable' members of the political 'mainstream,'" he said. Hinderaker added, "Obama emerged from the far-left fringe of Chicago politics, and his relationship with Ayers and Dohrn, like his relationship with spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright, raises important questions about Obama's own political beliefs." Hugh Hewitt has also been covering the story, and wonders why the MSM didn't find these clips a long time ago, "What else will we be discovering about Barack Obama's friends, and about the candidate?"

Why are these clips, particularly the most recent ones, important? Obama's supporters have claimed that Obama was only a child when Ayers and Dohrn were terrorists, but Ace reminds us that they were "engaging in the hardest of hard-left America-hating rhetoric in 2007 (when, as they note, Obama was at the tender, potty-training age of 47." And Hugh Hewitt reports Politico's Mike Allen's conclusion: "[I]t undercuts Senator Obama’s, one of Senator Obama’s defenses, which is that Bill Ayers’ outrageous statements were made when he, the Senator, was in elementary school."

What does this relationship tell us about Obama? Goldfarb wrote here that "Obama doesn't view left-wing radicals the way the rest of the country does, he doesn't understand why anyone would be upset that he associates with them, and more than that he seems dismissive of any such concerns." Ace adds, "The left continues to insist that prior terrorism against the United States and her citizens, if part of a leftwing 'movement,' is all just a 'youthful indiscretion' easily forgiven and better forgotten. I don't agree, and neither do most Americans."

Obama has some more explaining to do.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are doing what is expected of them.
High profits are at stake ... put them in office.

what I’m going to do is set a vision

I’m going to continue to listen
all of which is going to contribute to
the overarching strategy

keep in mind
the challenges we face
ultimately, I think
it’s work that must be done

I believe my approach is the right one
I have a track record that will assure
that we mean business
in a whole host of issues

what I can say is that
what I was referring to and have consistently referred to
as I said before
I've said that not just today, not just yesterday

let me finish

first of all
a lot of folks
we have to recognize

there is no doubt
I would not be doing my job if I didn’t pay attention to the facts
those are the factors and issues that I will take into account as president
that would be something that I would have to make the decision on, if I am President of the United States - Barack Obama

What they neglected to add..was that the economy IS growing...but.. for the RICH!
Rich (oil folks) getting richer..poor getting..poorer.
It's called the killing off of the middle class.
Which will ultimately destroy this country.
Why?
Because the rich use the middle class to buy their
'stuff.'
And the poor pull on the middle class for support.
(Through taxation for public services..welfare..
etc.)
No middle class..no nothing.

No matter how bad it gets during this administration, you can bet that when the economy turns around during a future administration, some total moron will say something to the effect "We can all thank the great wisdom of Bush/Cheney for setting the stage for this recovery."

Don't forget, that unemployment always rises in September and August when high school and college kids go back to class. Most of them don't stay at their summer jobs once school begins.

Most companies do better under a Republican administration- as long as the Congress is not a Democratic majority.

The Dems are mostly Socialist or Communist in their ideals now. That's why businesses are in trouble now- a Democrat-controlled Congress is never a good thing. When businesses hurt, so do their employees, and likewise, the economy.

"The buck stops here" is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman. It refers to "passing the buck," i.e., handing responsibility to someone else, and the fact that the president has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions.
