Did he happen to mention that his cuts in Defence Spending will cost Boeing about 100 Billion Dollars over the next 10 years and that layoffs are coming......and did he happen to mention that his former favorite company Caterpillar ( the company that had to layoff workers right after Obama's speech praising them)....well Caterpillar just announced moving a plant from CANADA to Muncie, Indiana 2 weeks after it became a Right-to-Work State....and Caterpillar is building another new plant in Georgia...another Right-to-Work State ?????.....And that Boeing won the battle at the NLRB....the new plant in South Carolina the NLRB tried to keep from opening...is now up and running .....

Mike---I would say by your info that the administration " Not Obama personally since these departments have alot of leeway,he just hires with approval and fires with reason the secrataries" aren't out to help the unions so much..Since you showed us all the openings in right-to-work states which to me means the company has a right to treat you like a wal-mart employee and you can't use the democratic way of organizing, or not effectively anyway...Unions are not enemies to anybody but rich people....Unions are people negotiating for a better working enviroment for all...

Did he happen to mention that his cuts in Defence Spending will cost Boeing about 100 Billion Dollars over the next 10 years and that layoffs are coming

That's true, but what exactly do you propose? In order to reduce the deficit, cuts are going to have to be made. That attitude is why nothing ever gets done. Nobody wants their piece of the pie to go.

In orde to reduce lets take away the big tax breaks for the million and billionaires and the big corporations since they just use the savings for bonuses and yachts and such instead of creating jobs as any good UNION BUSTING REPUBLICIAN would have us believe

I wish those tax leeches would do some business overseas. Maybe they could sell missiles to Arab countries so they could be more effective in killing our troops in our future unnecessary invasions.

Come on Kool-Aid drinkers, let's go jump off a cliff! Gee, mister president, whatever you say. No time to waste, c'mon....

GWB isn't in office anymore...C'mon we have to invade Iraq before they launch a nuke at us...Hurry up the cliff is in the cradle of civilization, let's be totally un-civilized and see how many people we can kill..Don't worry Dick's company has the contract to clean it up...

Or maybe that would be snappin into a Slim-Jim not Kool-Aid..

I would prefer Kool-Aid over GWB's Dick " Cheney" anyday..I will be able to discern the B.S. a little easier..Because the only true B.S. outta the dems is being able to get anything right for us done with those evil henchmen of the rich and racist right in the same government.......

Funny how the top 1% has over over 40% of the wealth.....Seems to me they can afford to pay more

So Satanick, just to be fair, you need to give the guy making less than you half your salary...after all, fair is fair and to him, you are the rich b.

Mike and justoneguy,

Good posts, thanks.

And I should have added this. On this site, four days ago, appeared an article showing seven of eight states with increasing employment are 'right to work states'. No pattern there, I'm sure.

Ahhh sweet irony. This is the same factory that the President and federal government (along with their union buddies) attempted to stop the development of. Remember?? This was the new plant that Boeing wanted to build in North Carolina because it's a non-unionized (right to work) state, whereas Washington State is unionized. Therefore Boeing wanted to build a new facility (without closing one in Washington) where they could keep their costs down and produce more planes. The President and federal government (PLEASE feel free to look up which members of Congress tried to stop it too) attempted to block it's construction as anti-union and now are claiming an economic VICTORY because it's up and running AND profitable. They want it both ways- For the benefit of their friends and take credit when the other way of doing business (competitively) works out.

I just love how the President uses our tax money (and debt) to fund his friend's businesses (to watch them go out of business with benefits) and shell the rest of business for trying to cut costs and become profitable. He hated Boeing until Boeing got a big contract that makes a "green shoot" for the US economy, which he can promote as his plans and vision working. They sucked until they presented a a publicity opportunity for his re-election.

Idiots.

Hey Joe. You are so wrong about everything I dont know where to start. The factory Obama toured was built in the early 60's. It was where the first 747 was built, a great story you should check it out. There is a Dreamliner factory in South Carolina. The feds legitimate complaints against Boeing regarding that plant were dropped in an everyone-wins settlement. Yay !

Decades ago Boeing took the strategy to balance thier production between defense and civil aviation. Downsizing the National Defense Budget will not be good news for Boeing, but they will certainly get through it, and with thier stock price intact.

Thanks Pat.You have presented a reasonable comment on the whole subject. To many of posters micro-manage their thoughts, and response down to political rhetoric.

Right to Work ok. Work without no benefits. No healthcare. No pension. Heck these people at cat work more temps than anything in griffin ga. The turnover is tremendous. Without collective bargaining these people treat you anyway they want, and if lucky you make 10 dollars an hour. But their still building them FRACKERS.

So Satanick, just to be fair, you need to give the guy making less than you half your salary...after all, fair is fair and to him, you are the rich b.
That is hardly a "fair" comparison. I will admit our income tax is very progressive but the social security/medicare taxes are very regressive and almost raise as much money as income taxes do.

Satanik SS was designed as a supplemental retirement plan not a vehicle for wealth transfer or a welfare program. Benefits are roughly proportional to contributions (based on earnings). Why should I pay more to supply payments for those who contributed less!!?? If I pay in twice as much, my benefit should be twice as much.

You are all for shared sacrifice until you are asked to share!! (raise taxes but on someone else)

Gas in my patch of california exceeded $4.00 per gallon. Thank you for your energy policy Mr. President. Perhaps now you may see an increase in Government Motors Volt sales if you increase the subsidy more. Wait, did I include the losses to the taxpayers for your solar disasters?

With the housing market going into another decline, rising electric and gas costs, runaway real world unemployment, food prices moving up, and inflation a probable rise in the near future, what has been going well for this administration?

I am glad to hear that our President is getting a chance to get out of the capitol for a change. The President really needs to get away from the Washington routine from time to time. The rest from all the work that he has been doing creating jobs should do him good.

I just wonder what the President has actually done that has worked to lower our trade deficit. The annual trade deficits during the Obama administration have been lower than during the Bush administration but I think that a big reason for that was the down turn in the economy. Since 2009 our annual trade deficits have been on the rise. I think that it is because of our trade deficit, that adding money to the economy has not worked to turn the economy around. It did not work under the Bush administration and it is not working under our ourrent administration.

My concern is that what ever the President proposes involves more spending and with it more debt. The President promised to contain the deficit and, by my calculation, that the 2012 federal deficit will not exceed 229.27 billion dollars. It seems that the President just does not care about keeping his promises. With the debt already at more than 15 trillion dollars, borrowing an extra 100 billion dollars will end up costing the tax payers 900 billion dollars before it is all paid back. I wish that the President would act in such a way to improve the economy that does not include more spending that we can not afford. Our President has no sense of budget.

Will Haas, I demand you stop propogating this lie of Obama promising deficits below $250 billion. I've refuted this time after time, and shown why chasing Obama for deficit related promises is ridiculous considering previous presidents.

Post this lie again, and I will organize a report bomb against you.

Wow the Narwhal office is working overtime today. Obama goes to his UNION people in Washington at Boeing who he stood up for in giving Boeing a hard time for trying to build a plant and jobs in North Carolina. What a two tongued approach again. If you don't know what Narwhal is google Obama's Narwhal office.

When defense spending comes into play those Union fools will already have done all they can to continue the dynasty of disaster when they start getting the pink slips.

In orde to reduce lets take away the big tax breaks for the million and billionaires and the big corporations since they just use the savings for bonuses and yachts and such instead of creating jobs as any good UNION BUSTING REPUBLICIAN would have us believe

I suppose those yachts and such that million and billionaires buy build themselves?

Many express disdain for politics, let's see how many actually do their homework and act to increase jobs here.

Mr. Anon, I keep answering you. I heard the President say it on TV myself and it has been reported in the media. It is easy to find reference to it on the Internet if you try. The President made statements regarding how bad deficit spending was. In 2006 as a senator he spoke out against and voted against raising the debt limit. He in fact said that raising the debt limit was a sign of bad leadership. When he was running for President he said that the deficits of the Bush administration were bad and he vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first administration. The last full year of the Bush administration was 2008. The federal deficit for that year was 458.55 billion dollars. The last full year of the Obama administration is 2012. The deficit is determined after the end of the fiscal year. The way that I see it, for the President to keep his promise the 2012 federal deficit must not exceed 229.27 billion dollars. The Obama administration is currently predicting a deficit of over 1.3 trillion dollars. After taking the oath of office the President restated this promise to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. But this time he supplied more detail and said the he would cut the 2009 deficit of 1.3 trillion dollars in half by 2013. The actual deficit for 2009 was 1.413 trillion dollars do for the President to keep his promise the 2013 federal deficit cannot exceed 707 billion dollars. With their latest budget the White House is predicting a 2013 federal deficit of a little more than 900 billion dollars if taxes will actually be raised on the rich. In other words, no matter how you look at it, the White House is predicting that the President will not keep his promise to the American people regarding reduction of the deficit. The White House and the President are really one in the same. The promises that the President made were without preconditions. They did not depend on any action of congress.

OK, can you find one Pres. since 1972 who has promised and balanced the budget?

I think that the President needs to take this to heart because it is as true now as it was then. This was actually posted by someone else but I think that these words of wisdom need to be repeated.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Politics in a word. We print the bills and have no problem paying them. Government budget is not like your budget, because you can't print your own money, and have to use the governments.

Money that the federal reserve prints up are still government debt obligations. One cannot really get out of debt by creating more debt. Government induced inflation is a form of steeling. It is a tax on holders of currency and those who save. It is a tax that no one votes for and that is not formally collected. The value of our money is stolen from us. If those who buy our debt begin to think that it is a significant problem, interest rates will climb to compensate for it If people begin to feel that our money is really worthless than the economy will collapse.

http://rodgermmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/monetarily-sovereign-the-key-to-understanding-economics/,...................................http://www.neweconomicperspectives.org/p/modern-money-primer.html

Will, you may want to read these links and those attached to get a better idea how our government economy works. Most economists are on the dole, part of the ideological and political money making machine. We print our own money, money means nothing, we went off the gold standard so we could not be held captive by those who wish us harm. We are a monetary sovereignty, and are not at all similar to Greece and Italy who are tied to the Euro. State and local government are not monetary sovereign as they can't print their own money and can not change the value. Our money is backed by the Federal Government and our trust in it. Those who try to devalue it, or shorten the supply are based in private and political agenda.

This may wake you up.........

As long as we hold to our Constitution, do not criminalize the rest of the world, and have faith in our economy, we will have trust in our currency. Google "constitutions" and you will find that we have the longest existing one in the world, and that is why we have a stable, yet political economy. Austerity will not work, as our substantial difference in consumption, civil rights, and technology with other country's brings about major political/ economic change in others.

The tea-partiers in congress are just pandering to the people who voted them in not realizing that most of those people now know they made the wrong choice...And not aware of the fact that a presidential election brings out real americans and I mean left,right and center who care about this country not just about their own narrow ideas but what is good for the whole..In other words people more intelligent than those in congress or their advisors and staff that spend too much time with lobbyists like Newtie and his company and Romneys Bain freinds..

Good post, swp.

How did the Tea Partiers make the wrong choice? I suppose your choice is to support the party that supports terrorism?

http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

The Democratic Socialists of America endorse the Occupy Wall Street movement and its demand for justice.

DSA Endorses Occupy Wall Street

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-occupy-wall-street-we-are-their-side_598251.html

In an interview that will be aired tonight on ABC News, President Obama continues to express his commitment to the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

The president also compares the protesters to the Tea Party. “In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party," Obama says. "Both on the left and the right, I think people feel separated from their government. They feel that their institutions aren’t looking out for them.”

But it wasn't too long ago that President Obama openly mocked the Tea Party movement:

"Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around,["] Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.”

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pelosi-supports-occupy-wall-street-movement/story?id=14696893#.Ty3XositJ2A

House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she supports the growing nationwide Occupy Wall Street movement, which began on the streets of downtown New York City in mid-September.

"I support the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen," said Pelosi in an exclusive interview with ABC News "This Week" anchor Christiane Amanpour. "We cannot continue in a way this is not relevant to their lives."

If I was a political add creator for the Right I would make a national commercial using the “occupier” movement.

The first thing I would do is quickly demonstrate how Obama, Pelsoi, etc. threw there support to the “occupy” movement just as I did above. Then I would show the picture (or maybe a short clip of video footage which is way more effective) of the Occupy protesters on the Steps of the Oakland City hall Burning the American Flag with the guy holding up the Occupy Oakland flyer with a single two word caption:

“American Values?”

Then display a real quick message; “5 Million dollars damage done to public property.”

Better yet here's a link to a video of an "Occupier" and his version of the pledge of allegiance while the U.S. flag is being burned.

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/occupy-oakland-burns-american-flag-while-reciting-anti-semitic-pledge-allegiance

"I pledge allegiance to a flag of the imperialistic, capitalistic dictatorship.

And to the plutocracy for which it stands, privately owned central bank, under the Jews.

With inequality and injustice for the 99."

http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-philadelphia/occupy-oakland-will-burn-10-000-american-flags

As American flags were burning, including one out front of Oakland City Hall, the Occupy movement made a grand pronouncement. Leaders boasted that they would “burn 10,000 American flags and rid the country of capitalists and Jew bankers”.

Then I would show the picture of the protesters in front of the Oakland Museum with the two corrugated metal barriers that say “Police move out”, “Commune Move In” and the dozen or so people with the home made riot shields with some of them having the Peace Sign painted on them and the others the Anarchy sign. Then I would have another single caption;

“Prepared for a “Peaceful Protest” with barriers, riot shields, and gas masks?”

I would end the commercial with a very short video showing an American flag being burned and overlaid with a simple message;

“Do you trust the “Democrats” and “Occupiers” with America’s future?”

I really don't care if Unemployment becomes 0%, our National dept becomes $0.00, he manages to bring World peace, the 117 trillion dollars in Unfunded liability becomes funded overnight, and God Almighty Himself comes down to Earth and Proclaims Obama is the Second Coming.

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/28/10260959-oakland-assesses-city-hall-damage-after-occupy-break-in

Oakland officials on Sunday were inspecting damage inside City Hall that was caused by about 50 Occupy protesters who broke in and smashed glass display cases, spray-painted graffiti, and burned the U.S. and California flags.

The break-in on Saturday was the culmination of a day of clashes between protesters and police. At least 300 people were arrested on charges ranging from vandalism and failure to disperse.

At least three officers and one protester were injured.

Mayor Jean Quan said Occupy protesters have caused an estimated $2 million in damages from vandalism since October. She said the cost to the city related to the Occupy Oakland protests is pegged at about $5 million.

The Democrats have been completely silent about the damage the occupiers have been causing, destruction of private and public property, disrupting communities, destroying parks, putting a Guy Fawkes(an English Terrorist) mask on, and using the statue of a U.S. Historical figure as a tent pole, And Burning the American Flag.

If the right had done anything even close to what the “Occupiers” have been doing the last few months the Democrats would be on the TV and National News every night condemning the actions of the Tea Party or whoever it was that is doing it as long as it’s a right leaning group doing it

http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/09/17/pelosi-tears-up-discussing-tone-of-health-care-debate-in-america/

"We are a free country and this balance between safety and freedom is is one that we have to carefully balance," she said.

Pelosi then slowed her words as she reflected on her own experiences in San Francisco politics, when Mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated in 1978.

"I have concerns about some of the language being used because I saw this myself in the late 70s in San Francisco," Pelosi said. "This kind of rhetoric was...was ...very frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and...I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made, understanding that the ears it is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume."

Pelosi continued, "Our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe. But I also think they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause."

The right didn’t do anything and yet Nancy was shedding tears about the “fear” of the right doing something. The violence, riots, destruction, is happening now and its all being done by the Left.

Where’s the outrage, the tears, the calls for taking responsibility?

When an administration allows, and overlooks the kind of violations, disrespect of our laws, showing such disrespect to the Symbol of our country, Burning the Flag of the United States of America just like an Extremist Terrorist, What makes the Democrats believe they “deserve” a second term and should be entrusted with the Future and Security of the United States?

of course you are kidding, right??? elections have consequences, republicans can sit in the back?? if this is your definition of bi-partisan then we must agree to disagree.

Thank you and with Bain I was refering to them being one of or the largest contributer to the lobbyist fight for Bush tax cuts and abolishing capital gains taxes,which would have made romneys rate 0%...Kinda Ironic isn't it ?

If the occupiers had guns like the tea-partiers they wouldn't have to deal with riot police...And who is to say if they were left to their own devices they wouldn't have cleaned up and not stormed government institutions..And you are only talking about a fringe doing the rest of that stuff..How about the spitting on a congressman of color by the tea-party fringe? Your tears made me think of the spitting because that almost brought me to tears...And your sources you stated if you weren't so biased would have showed you as they did me Obama saying he will listen to both sides, all americans like he has said all along...And Pelosi I am sure feels the same way about violent rhetoric from either side...It is the element that you belong to that seceeded the union over the same reasons as your side is covertly winning elections by today...They even say it's a states rights thing again...Yeah sure..

I try not to single out in my opinions because I want everybody to read it but you know what I am responding to if you read the entire thread..

More like if the "Occupiers" obeyed the Laws of the United States and Communites, aquired teh proper permits to hold rallies, and conducted themselves accordingly and weren't instigating confrontations withth police they wouldn't have to deal with riot police.

Who can forget this famous calling by the "Occupiers"

F--k the police is a song I sing all the time...It doesn't mean f--k that cop over there it means f--k police brutality and oppression...Which was happening...But all old crinkled up tight-wads hear is the foul words. That are foul because why ? To me they are just words..I can handle any words...But police bullets hurt.

@sw philly.... "...And who is to say if they were left to their own devices they wouldn't have cleaned up and not stormed government institution."

You are joking right? I mean you can not seriously believe that. This is the biggest problem with progressives. They have no integrity what-so-ever and they seem to be proud of it.

dmac/ That is the problem with progressives ? Progress is to advance from a previous position. Many bloggers at these sites throw words ,such as liberals, progressives, socialists ,democrats ET. AL. as if they are foul words. They are descriptions of political view points. I happen to be a liberal. That is a political view of politics. The first O W S was a protest from a group of people who saw the Wall St. investment Corp. as being beyond control and they demanded that our government intervene and and make more rules to stop their behaviour. Many of the ows protesters are merely exercising their rights to protest the perceived behaviour of the Stock Exchange, but it is more dramatic to tell of extremists, but that is business.

Listoire, yes you are right. I would say a great majority of those o.w.s. people are justified in their actions.

kaybeetoys

Really? Are you kidding me? Obama's bi-partisen approach. Must have missed that one in all the anti-Constituitional, I'm doing it my way, attitude I see. Guess toys might tell me more, robots know best.

Kay name one thing Obama has done that is bi-partisan and did not involve pure politics. How about a budget? No since this Democratic controlled Senate has not passed a budget in over 1000 days. How about healthcare? No as Pelosi claimed, you have to pass it to find out the what is in it. We could go on and on. The fact is this guy only knows how to run for office and not how to manage the largest economy in the world.

Republicans or just plain greedy, they're both republicans AND greedy. Change the "or" in your name to "are" and it will make more sense!

This holiday season is a time to examine who's been naughty and who's been nice, but I'm unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy.

Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
Nicholas D. Kristof

Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.

Arthur Brooks, the author of a book on donors to charity, "Who Really Cares," cites data that households headed by conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than households headed by liberals. A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals.

Other research has reached similar conclusions. The "generosity index" from the Catalogue for Philanthropy typically finds that red states are the most likely to give to nonprofits, while Northeastern states are least likely to do so.

Democrats, who speak passionately about the hungry and homeless, personally fork over less money to charity than Republicans

The liberals want to give to the poor. They just want it to be someone else's money!!! You know, shared sacrifice as long as someone else is doing the sacrificing!!

Is not Charity contributions tax exempt? I think that most republicans demand more tax exemptions, yet pay as little taxes as they can.

If you give $1000, you reduce your taxes by $350 (if in the 35% bracket). But it still costs a net of $650. Not a good business move if you do it just for the deduction!!!

Obama's paid 28% tax on their income and gave $245,000 to charity.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20482941,00.html

Looks like he is not as good at business, compared to Mitt.

Surely you must be related.

Yeah Jpeg, I'm a Kenyan born marfxist, communist, socialist, nazi, incompetent, arrogant, stupid, pyromaniac, filthy, smelly,disgusting, cat raping, muslim terrorist[did I miss anything?] too, just like the president. Happy? Why are righties so stupid??

You won't get a libby to reply to your post....real facts scare them away.

A libby. The reason that our President objected to the Boeing Co. moving a part of their company to a right to work state is because the move by the company,was as a punishment of the union in a labour dispute.Many companies are doing this,even though the workers at their original site were the people who made those companies successful. Surely the people who help in their success are to entitled to reap some of the rewards of their labour.

True,true,true kinda false just today there was reporting on Caterpillar bringing back jobs from japan to GA..maybe if the pres gets his jobs bill concerning rewarding companies for doing just that we will see more of that...After all it costs alot to ship those huge earth movers so if we create jobs here and need them for housing,infrastucture and industrial construction like they already do in south america it will be more profitable to build them and other things like them here..

And BTW stop stalking workers and stereotyping they may just be people who were ancestraly in this country before you or me...Considering most so-called mexicans are mostly natives not spanish they just speak a form of that language...Which is a shame maybe people like you would understand them better if they spoke our version of english..

Me too Mr. Parent. Some of the worst employment abuses in this country however come with "legal" immigration. I am talking about the H1B Visa program where people are brought in to take American jobs in engineering, physical therapy, programming, electronics, auto design, IT,...etc hundreds of thousands of American jobs a year are lost.

Outsourcing is taking the job to the foriegn country. H1B is bringing the foreign country to the job.

I don't think I'll take a job mudding sheet rock or scrubbing toilets in a Marriott, or picking lettuce,.....are you?

GOPisextinct

Me too Mr. Parent. Some of the worst employment abuses in this country however come with "legal" immigration..

HA HA....man GOp - you take it to the next level...now LEGAL immigration is an abuse and illegal immigration is a blessing...lol...get a life

GOPisextinct,

You don't think you'll take a job mudding sheetrock or scrubbing toilets?? You are a woose.

If you ever had to do real work, you would come to realize that all work brings a sense of dignity and self-respect. Sucking on that big government tit for life means you have no self-respect.

[Sucking on that big government tit for life means you have no self-respect.]

Much like yourself, Jofus? You got yours from your public sector UNION job, right?

Effing hypocrite...

...FAIL...

If you ever had to do real work

I've worked harder on break than you do all week sonny.

Remember, there is that certain class of people that no matter how much government money you give them, no matter how many subsidies you give them, no matter how much government welfare they soak up, no matter how many tax breaks you give them; like you, these entitlement attitude people will never get a real job, doing real work, with a real company in the real world.

We call these people Republicans. Your Mom calls him Joe Parent.

FACTS:

--Number of job losses per month when Obama took office: 700,000
--Number of job gains last month: 250,000

--GDP decline when Obama took office: minus 6%
--GDP last year: 2.9% positive growth

--Dow Jones when Obama came into office: 8,000
--Dow Jones now: 12,600+

22 straight months of job growth.

Record corporate profits.

Recode domestic oil production.

Osama – gone

No attacks on US soil.

Iraq war – over.

WHAT: You're blaming Obama for the closure of post offices???

Now that's rich. Your merry gang of Reich Wing nut jobs are doing everthing in their power to kill off the entire postal system as we know it. Block Buster is in trouble not simply because of the economy but rather their entire business paradigm.

Beyond that, your argument is the same as the rest of the Right, everything negative which happens is Obama's fault and everything positive which occurs is either serindipity or more likely you attribute to some residual effect of a program that your boy, Dubya had already implemented.

You know what I mean, Obama didn't get Bin Laden, it's due to war criminals Bush and Cheney advocating torture, ur, em, ah, er, I mean "enhanced interrogation". Right??? Sorry, that tired argument just ain't gonna fly. The overall trend of the economy is on an upswing and let me say, absolutely no thanks to the gangster in the GOP Congress. The entire lot should be tried for treason. They would gleefully run this country into the ground on the hopes of having a weakened economy cause Obama to lose this November.

republicans or just plain greedy

I'm the fool. I'm not supporting a man whose estimate worth grew to $10 million in three years as President.

Fool me one, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. Looks like you are the one living in shame for not knowing that you're been conned a second time.

If we need more lowpaying retail jobs those stores will re-open under a new name...Hopefully a local owned est. And as far as the P.O. goes you should contact your GOP congressman to tell him to give them a break on their pension payments since nobody else has to do what they are doing or needs congess to approve rate hikes....But in your sides philosify the private sector does it better...Than why does it cost so much more to send a letter with a private company ? And which is the better job to have? And which employees make more therefore spending money in the economy making jobs for everybody ? because spending is what really creates jobs not billionares sitting on their money as a trophy and being able to wait to spend it when they get done bullying the GOP for just the right conditions that never seem to come..How long have they had their tax cuts for? Oh that's right just as long as the economy has been on the downslide...And this president has started things on the right track somewhat without being able to raise them..But watch and see if their taxes do get raised the economy will boom while they invest in their companies and hire to keep from paying higher taxes...That is how it really works with companies large and small especially ones not publically traded therefore have no reason to show profit..

Ozzy Boy

No I'm not blaming Obama for the postal services problems. They've been on going for decades. I'm blaming him for completely ignoring the problem in the 3 years he's been president. Its not like he woke up one morning and the postal system was $3.3 billion in debt and going to layoff a 128,000 workers. DUH! After all he was elected to show some kind of leadership and deal with this kind of problem. So why didn't he show some leadership and work on it?

You don't even have to be a Harvard man like the president to know the problem with the postal services is that its not generating enough revenues. So let me think. Duh! Maybe the Postal service could offer some new services to generate revenues that UPS and FED EX can't do.

Like maybe do foreign money exchange in high tourist areas.

Or maybe administer a new electronic US Saving Bond program.

You need to grow and and start thinking like a mature adult.

Now what's your excuse for Obama ignoring this issue for 3 years.

It is funny how you messed up on the fool me once saying just like your boy BUSH...

The excuse is he is not in the halls of congress anymore he heads the executive branch which is seperate and by all rights should have nothing to do with it except picking a postmaster general other than that all operating expense and financial decisions come down to congress...Kinda of like he did with the affordable care act that idiots are calling Obamacare when he didn't write one page of it...His administation will administer the parts not delagated and mandated to the states...But remember this if it was truly Obamacare it would be universal healthcare, single payor or medi-care for all which ever you choose to call it but it is not called Obamacare cause like I said Obamacare would be in the aforementioned forms not a give-away to the insurance companies that is a right-wing heritage foundation,newt gingrich idea that they now all deny...

sw philly

You been drinking too much of that Philly water out of the Delaware river. Oh! So it isn't the place of the President to say to Congress we need to get the post office back on the right track. Here's some ideas I have on how to do it.

Love the way you have selective memory when it comes to Obama and or the Affordable Health care act. You don't know that he didn't write one page of it or tell his lap dogs in congress what he wanted in it.

What we do know is that Obama met with a member of congress and offered to pay for his entire states populations health care needs in exchange for one yes vote. We also know that he met behind closed doors with many congress people who refuse to tell the public what they were offered for one yes vote.

We know that public option was in it until Obama had a closed door meeting with the CEO's of the Health Insurance Companies one day, and the next, the public options was removed.

If you don't have the intelligence to know the performance of the man you support, the shame is on you.

THe man I will support is not perfect but he made things better by leading from the bully pulpit on it which you just critisized him for with the healthcare act which he did not pen or it would have been single-payor...But complain he is not doing for the P.O. well I can just imagine if he did you wouldn't like that either..And BTW him and his party have said something needs to be done,have tried to do stuff and were blocked and will be the ones to do something so save it..

And the philly water comes out of resivoirs and sometimes the wissahickon before the schukill...To my knowledege not the DE...But I will research that later because maybe Liberal policies have cleaned up the river enough to drink out of but I don't think so..

Done research the philadelphia water dept. does draw water from the DE but not for where I reside..

WHAT: You're blaming Obama for the closure of post offices???

blah blah....Reich Wing nut jobs ...blah blah blah....., Dubya .....blah blah blah.... Bush and Cheney advocating torture,....blah blah blah gangster in the GOP Congress. The entire lot should be tried for treason. blah blah blah.......

It's the Obama supporters that are changing
the subject to ANYTHING but OBAMA!! Doing it for 3 inexcusable years now
and the majority of Americans are sick and tired of it!

ABO 2012

If you just count the few in your secluded non-diverse circle that is true about the majority...And even a few of them will vote the Democratic ticket in private especially the women and LGBT ones...lets not count the ones that are married to minorities or immigrants and you don't know it or the ones with the same in their family and they are tired of the discriminatory rhetoric from most of the right..

This faux America some people see was the confederacy and it lost....So please pay attention to what are really states rights when the affordable care act comes before the SCOTUS..

I've been reading your BS for the last 10 minutes now. So you want the gloves off? Here we go. The economy stinks because of CONSERVATIVE economic policies. Starting with Ronald (I love deficits and tax cuts for the wealthy) Reagan and right up to the last Bush admininistration and a REPUBLICAN Congress from 1996 until 2008. Under Bush job growth was the WORST since WWII. The source by the way is that know liberal icon the Wall Street Journal. And Mr. Obama was handed this mess, while the Republicans/Conservatives laughed all the way to the voting booth. Because suddenly EVERYTHING was Obama's/The Democratic Party's fault.

And job growth would have been MUCH worse, if we did not have a MASSIVE bubble economy. And economy that was based on enormous debt, housing deregulation and Americans using their houses as ATM's. And why were they able to do so? Because of the deregulation that conservatives love. Some prime examples.

The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (DIDMCA) and the Alternative Mortgage Transactions Parity Act of 1982 (AMTPA). Gramm-Leach-Bliley and The Commodities Future Modernization Act of 2000.

By the way, I also blame Democrats for some of the legislation mentioned above because they either voted for it, or did not do enough to stop it. In particular, Gramm-Leach-Blilely was heavily pushed by Bill Clinton, although the vote in Congress was overwhelmingly Republican.

The bubble did not "burst", it exploded in a massive explosion. But by golly that was ALL the Democrats fault. What a crock. And by the way, I'm just getting started. For example, I haven't even mentioned until now the obstructing Republicans in both the House and the Senate, or the fact their so called "Jobs Bills" are a crock.

Clinton may have been duped into that in the form of centrism and compromise..I don't think it would have caused what it did without the policies and trends that followed...Maybe if another Dem was in he could have asked for changes before it crashed..But the dems def deserve some blame and the voters...

ANOTHER SICK '' TRICKLED DOWN REGANOMICAL DITTO DUMMY '' ; you've got a better idea then trickled down economics ???? thought not

No calling anyone a racist, a hater, a liar. Wow! That's a first for an Obama supporter who knows he's supporting a flim-flam man, a con artist, a terrible yoke on this country we call President.

Whats your idea just plain greedy?

Its so easy putting down other ideas especially when you have none of your own.

Perhaps you can explain why it is if you believe that some type of "trickel up economics" would work that Obama spends all of his time going to giant companies like Boeing, Caterpillar, GM, Master lock, etc...

How come Obama isn't going to the "Roadside bar and grill" and talk about how they hired two employees and its going to be small mom and pop business that leads the recovery?

Isn't it funny how the Democrats are all about how Big business is destroying the country etc. and yet look at all the places Obama is doing his campaign speeches at...

To workers not the CEO's and trickle up economics does work that is why your party is trying so hard to stop payroll taxcuts and unemployment benifits and other things because they don't care about workers or the economy they care about power,money and their own greed..

Every dollar most americans get these days gets spent therefore helping the economy..Its a shame some of those dollars are diverted to foriegn economies by those big companies like Wal-mart and Exxon Mobile but hey in another few years the dems will hopefully fix some of that or you guys will get another chance to give tax cuts to the rich and start wars around the world to make profits for the vice-pres you elected..

Its also funny that these lay-offs by boeing started during bushies presidency and the new plant building is during the recovery...I guess the new plant is just dumb-luck and the closings are his fault anyway...

Sw philly

I must say you certainly have educated yourself into stupid or at least you present yourself that way in your post.

Either that or you've drown your brain in too much Obama campaign rhetoric to where you can't think or express yourself in any other way.

I was reading the dates posted on the stories given to us by an obvious right-winger so if that makes me stupid I just have to question what you consider stupid and what you consider intelligent ? And I use my own opinion to comment...I guess I would be intelligent if I voted against my own principles entirely? I admit the dems aren't precisely in-line with me but the GOP is only in-line with male chauvanist,racist or multi-millionares so who is the stupid one ? Or do you fall into one of those categories ? Or are you the one falling for campaign rhetoric ? Planning on moving to the lunar colony ?

Only one of the layoff dates were preObama. Thank you for proving several of my point about you.

I consider people stupid who don't educate themselves about a certain issue and just accept campaign rhetoric as the truth regardless of which candidate it comes from.

Here I will give you an example of what I'm talking about.

Tax reform was a major issue for Obama in his first campaign. Then when he had the power to pass it as easily as the Affordable Health Care Act with democratic control of Congress, Obama didn't even propose it or try to get it passed.

When he lost democratic control of the House, he start making it a campaign issue again. Why did he do this? He knew he couldn't get it passed so he's running his mouth to con his supporters and voters into believing he supports tax reform when he doesn't. Then he blames the republicans and you all suck it up big time.

Obama's actions speak volumes over his words and the words of his campaign yet all of you Obama supporters ignore his actions while taking his words hook line and sinker.

To me that defines stupid.

I am not stupid...I realize these things you state...I would be stupid if I didn't vote at all...And you would be stupid if you voted with the new improved GOP A.K.A the Tea party...I know politicians don't and can't do everything they say and want and sometimes are just plain misleading..But in turn if you look at the agendas and voting records of the two major parties we seem to be stuck with the Democrats since the southerners left over civil rights legislation is the party that cares about what is good for the U.S. including its power behind diversity and the american dream that if any man or woman despite what socio-economic background,sexual preference or lack thereof,creed,race or even sometimes disability who decides to work hard and apply themselves has equal protection under law to do so...And we aren't even fully there yet and the backwards,rebel flag flying,wishing it was the 50's or before, women bashing,racist,bible thumpers on the right with their practice what we preach not as we do cause nobody but christ could be so perfect ideals of the TEA Party members are trying to drag us back to their nostalgic past that most of us didn't see as such a great time...Blah...Blah...Blah...That's all this is to you anyway..You are the one that is either in one of the aforementioned categories of the right or braindamaged...Or I could be wrong..Maybe you don't vote at all which is better if you think the TEA PARTY has the answers.....

And I think I said the lay-offs started then, not were all then....Maybe I didn't I stand corrected..The rest of them happened in the beginning of his term and just maybe he was doing bigger things than subsidising defense contractors...I think they have had enough subsidies over the last 72 years since our never ending occupation of the world since 1940...

...Give it up sw philly...you can post as many times as you want...but you are wrong.

I am wrong about what ? The dates that your fellow rightie posted on here ? I think not...Don't read much ? just talk and type huh ?

I said that the layoffs started during Bush's term and by the dates posted they did...Find other facts if you don't want me to see the side that makes sense...Who is Dumb ?

More freebies per capita and tax dollars paid go to deep red states... Now those are the dummies voting against their own interest as are the ones that don't realize S.S. , medicare , unemployment , FHA loans , VA loans and on and on are government " Freebies" that all working class people take part in and are all programs that the GOP wants to cut so their rich friends won't have to pay more taxes...Or are they only freebies when " Urban ( code word ) " people apply for them ?

DAVID: You're blaming this trend on Obama??? This stuff has been going on for the last 35 years, nothing new here.

Oh, and Jeff Immelt, he's a registered Republican.

Wouldn't they be able to buy these planes anyway and reverse engineer them? Hey maybe we will learn something from them ? After all the WASPS in this country really aren't the master race like they think..Our diversity has made us climb to the top of the world...Ever notice that after WW2 with the beginings of desegragation in our country that we started our climb do most powerful nation on earth with the largest economy....Just think if stopped trying to be the world police force and imperial super-power how much more money we would have for investment to grow our economic status even more..Ever wonder how Germany and Japan did so good after the war ? Maybe it has something to do with not concentrating on taking over the world like some comic bad guy evil mastermind or George Bush..

Ever wonder how Germany and Japan did so good after the war ?

It was called the Marshal Plan sw philly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was the large-scale American program to aid Europe where the United States gave monetary support to help rebuild European economies after the end of World War II in order to combat the spread of Soviet communism.^[1] The plan was in operation for four years beginning in April 1948. The goals of the United States were to rebuild a war-devastated region, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, and make Europe prosperous again. The initiative was named after Secretary of State George Marshall. The plan had bipartisan support in Washington, where the Republicans controlled Congress and the Democrats controlled the White House. The Plan was largely the creation of State Department officials, especially William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan. Marshall spoke of urgent need to help the European recovery in his address at Harvard University in June 1947.^[2]

And that plan included protection with the clause for them to not militarize...And imagine that economic stimulus with a cherry on top because that works to rebuild corporations and munincipalities and whole countries alike when they are ailing for any reason even mismanagement...Kinda like ours after tax cuts and wars with big government no-bid contracts to Bush's buddies,that this president is still paying for and taking all kinds of FOX News bullpucky about...Atleast he has turned them around..Won one of them and ended it and is winning the other and will end it soon..

ROC: Yea, he's a no good SOB. Who the hell does Obama think he is, jetting around the country on the tax payers dime??? Uh, maybe like every other president whose preceded him??? Were you this upset when Dubya was flitting about, while simultaneously driving our economy as well as the entire country over a cliff???

"Dubya" didn't spend billions of $$ for NOTHING....he didn't just waste money on Ca$h for Clunker$ and a bankrupt $olindra!!!!

No he spent it all on Halliburton his VP's company...Kinda like bailing out the texas savings and loan when your son and freinds were involved in the misapropiations like his daddy..

"Dubya" didn't spend billions of $$ for NOTHING

HAHAHA - oh really? Let's see, how much did it cost for each WMD recovered from Iraq? Money spent, a few trillion. WMDs located and destroyed, zero. Money spent to take out bin Laden, a few hundred billion, number of bin Laden's taken out, zero. Now, let's see, zero is equivalent to nil, or even NOTHING. Wow, sure does seem like he spent billions of $$ for zero, zero, zero results.

justoneguy

"Dubya" didn't spend billions of $$ for NOTHING....he didn't just waste money on Ca$h for Clunker$ and a bankrupt $olindra!!!!

True, justone;

dubya spent the billions of $$ by giving it to his veep (thru the no-bid military contracts) and his rich family,friends and supporters (thru the reduced taxes which have helped backrupt this nation.)

And that is not to mention the way he LIED to America, NATO, and the world about WMD's just so he could have some excuse to "go after" his family's enemy Saddam and be where the oil is...

Now, you want to continue this line? Let us try to place some $$ value on the 5 thousand fine American lives he spent in that last mentioned endeavor....

If I were you, I wouldn't even go there --- but I guess it is typical of the tunnel visioned, un-thinking, myopic RNC/TEA people who are unable to see past the end of their noses and consider the ramifications and consequenses of their actions and positions....

LET US: Do you know any other president who "doesn't want to be re-elected"???

OK, LBJ in '68. Any others in recent memory???

I don't object to the President wanting and working to be re-elected. But when that objective transcends and trumps everything else, I don't believe we're getting the type of leadership we need.

TEA TARD: You're blaming Obama for anyone who gets laid off, is that it???

And no, few woman will blame Obama for not caring about them. Woman vote resoundingly for Obama, expecially after this latest fiasco about birth control.

TeaPartyNot Terrorist: With everything that they have spewed out of their mouth's about taking the country back(yet they never can explain taking it back from who?) and showing and acting with a low level intellect that would make Glover Norquist look smart(WTF) to appear to be anything else just reminds you of alot of flip flopping Mitt Romney's.

Ozzie Boy-2719086

TEA TARD....

Oops...careful Ozzie, your IQ is showing....

They do get alot of tax payer and corporate money through all of the fleet vehichles they sell to munincipalities and corporations and all companies which then turn around and use the depreciation on those same vehichles as a tax write-off...Lets see where ford is when companies modernize their fleets with the new technology GM is putting out there..And they got helped with cash for clunkers the most while the other two of the big three were busy closing dealers and restructuring and didn't have as much of a chance to .

And what drove them there? At least Obama is attempting to correct the downward crash that he inherited, which is the cause of so many living on the edge of poverty.

Don't you dare cash a social security check or use medi-care or VA services for that matter if you can't stand socialism that much that you re-invent the centrist president into a socialist...You see a little socialism is good for society's well being and overall health but yes a socialist republic of this size would be doomed to fail...But trust me very few people using social services benifits are not willing to work hard to get out from under that umbrella...Unfortunately the GOP's stupid cut taxes then spend policies have crippled this country so some people just gotta eat and go to the doctor or atleast take their children...If you don't like it sounds like you are pretty rich just move to an island and create that old utopia you righties want..You know the one with jim crow or even slavery and no voting for women and you can slap them around again with-in reason of course...Hell maybe even ban alcohol for everybody except the rich who can afford the smuggled stuff..Hey and the prohibition laws will give you a reason to start a for profit prison to lock-up the undesirables...WoW we sure do miss the nostaligia of this country before those damn progressives made it so bad...SIKE>>>

sw philly

blah blah....You see a little socialism is good for society's well being blah blah blah..... GOP's stupid cut taxes blah blah blah....it sounds like you are pretty rich just move to an island and create that old utopia you righties want..blah blah blah.... the one with jim crow or even slavery and no voting for women and you can slap them around again...blah blah....Hell maybe even ban alcohol for everybody except the rich blah blah blah...start a for profit prison to lock-up the undesirables...

Careful sw philly, your IQ is showing AGAIN!!

It's 152 :)

ha ha....who's gotta know their own IQ??? lol

Elizabeth Warren's is only 150 and she's a genius. A person's IQ would have to be under 80 to believe Philly's statement!

sw phiily

You claim Obama is trying. But trying to do what? He's signed two Bills into law that strip American citizens of their Constitutional protection. Its been reported that large internment camps are being built in the South.

He's increased the national debt to where its going to take generations to pay it down.

He printed so much money that China, which holds a great deal of our dept, publicly scolded him like a child not once but 3 times for devaluing our dollar.

He created a debt crises at the beginning of August, 2011 that had our credit rating lowered for the first time in history.

After the gulf oil spill in which spent the first nine days of it on vacation and couldn't be bothered, his refusal to allow Republican Governors from the States to start their own clean up thus making the clean up harder and more costly.But that wasn't the worse part, he sent the EPA into Republican States to shut down refineries causing gas prices to skyrocket.

The bulk of the 3.3 million jobs he claimed to have created were seasonal part time jobs that no longer exist. Others compromise of the new companies that he lent money to that ended up bankrupt because there was no import protection from cheaper imports that forced those companies out of business.

His trying has cost every family share of the national debt to increase from $45,000.00 when Obama took office to $122,303.00 at the beginning of August, 2011 when Obama's debt crises hit.

According to the White house, when the Affordable Health Care Acts full benefit take effect in 2024, 33 million Americans still won't be able to get any health care services.

According to the CBO revised numbers after Obama's health care act was signed into law, the Affordable health care act will bankrupt this country.

He had the power to pass Tax reform for two years but never proposed it to Congress when he had the power to pass it as easily as the Affordable Health Care Act. Why?

You claim to have an IQ of 152. Means nothing if you don't use that brain power. I get it, you see Obama as the lesser of two evils.

Look to the third party, the independent party. What else can you do, when the Democrats and Republicans are failing this country.
