Joe Bidden is the dumbest man in America,he would probably qualify for dumbest person,but Nancy ("you have to pass the bill before you find out what's in it")Pelosi,holds that title.Obama is not dumb,not at all,he is just corrupt and a Socialist.

Clint Eastwood had it right,only instead of an empty chair with a teleprompter,he should have had an empty suit.

Obama keeps asking for Rommney's tax returns,how about showing the closing papers on his home in Chicago and the "geniuses" grades at college?

Biden (personally) is certainly better off, for sure but AMERICA IS NOT!!!!!!

Is America better off today than it was this time four years ago.

Let's see.

As George Bush, prepared to hand over the economy to Obama in January 2009 , the US was on the edge of collapse. Newcasters were calling it possibly the "Second Great Depression"

The Dow had plunged to From 14000 points down to 8000. The Nasdaq had plunged from 2800 all the way down to 1500. Everyone who had a 401K watched in horror their 401K's lost about half it's value. The Investment Company Institute, a trade group for the mutual-fund industry, says that retirement assets lost $2.1 trillion in the year ending Sept. 30, 2008

In 2002 President Bush had pushed Fannie May and Freddie Mac, as well as the federal home loan banks,to loan $440 billion dollars to minority borrowers many of whom were ill equipped to pay back those loans (Read Bush's speech at ) The resulting deluge of defaulting loans created an implosion of the housing market and home prices came crashing to earth. Everyone was losing equity. No one was buying. People started abandoning whole neighborhoods to the repo man.

This was in January 2009...days before Obama took over the reigns from Republican President Bush.

Four years years ago The Banks were collapsing, weighed down by subprime loans . Big Giants like Bear Sterns, Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley , American International Group, Inc., Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, had to be bailed out while other giants like Lehman Brothers,Countrywide, Washington Mutual, Indymac collapsed. Other giants like Merrill Lynch were absorbed by other banks

And Obama wasn't even president yet.

Four years ago Unemployment had skyrocked. Between 2007 and 2009 the US lost 5.6 million jobs in the Great Recession. In final month of the Bush Administration , the private sector shed over 800,000 jobs in January alone.

Four years ago The Giants of the American auto industry were in deep trouble. In 2008 gas was 4 dollar a gallon and US automakers had nothing in the pipeline but SUVs and Big Trucks. Customers started turning to Japanese fuel efficient cars. The Big Three were in deep trouble and pleaded with the Bush administration for federal bailout money

Four years ago Terrorism was uppermost in the minds of most Americans. Orange alerts, airport searches. Images of terrorists striking American cities, Gitmo, the Patriot Act, Iraqi prisoners at abu ghraib prison.....and who can forget those regular threatening taped messages from Osama Bin Ladin,

And Obama was not even President yet

Four years ago America was stuck in two long drawn out expensive wars , : Iraq and Afghanistan. When Obama took office we had already been stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan for about 7 years. Civil war had broken out in Iraq and Afghanistan had been all but abandoned as troops and supplies were redirected to Iraq. What had started out as a quick and easy war to topple Sadaam grew in to a protracted civil war between Sunnis and Shiah's...with American troops caught in the crossfire. Millions of Christian Iraqis fled across the border to escape the carnage. Daily bombings, mass slayings, sectarian killiings, roadside bombs.

And Obama wasn't even president yet.

NOW Fast forward over 4 years later...and what a difference.

The DOW is now back up to 13,000 (even WITH economic problems in Europe dragging it down) and the NASDAQ hasn't been this high since the Clinton years. If you have your retirement savings in stocks you are back in the drivers seat. Your retirement savings have recovered all they lost during the Great Recession Americans who once saw their 401K's cut in half during the closing days of the Bush Administration can breath easier once again.

American businesses too are prospering. US business are now flushed with so much money....over 2 trillion dollars in cash...that they are having trouble deciding if they should use it to buy out their competitors or buy back their own stock.

Just One year after Obama took office, America finally stemmed the bleeding jobs picture. America began creating more jobs than it lost. And every single month since February 2010 has been accompanied by more jobs created. Some months more than others but ALWAYS in positive territory....and this despite the huge recession in Europe and and slowdown in China , which has negatively affected American business and employment numbers.

The US auto industry is back on it's feet , thanks to a bailout by the Obama Administration.....and today the Big Three is the pride of the world auto industry.... with record breaking sales and innovative new products.

Banks which lead the US into disaster in 2008 and had to be bailed out ...are back to profitability. Most of the banks were so profitable they paid off their Tarp loans.

Today No one talks of the Second Great Depression...that's a distant memory. And the Great Recession is over.

Today the long expensive war in Iraq is OVER.

As for housing in June 2012 Housing starts rose 6.9% over May to a 760,000 annual rate, the highest level since October 2008, and were up an impressive 23.6% compared with a year earlier. And the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported that (in June 2012) builder confidence is at its highest level in five years.

Today Osama Bin Ladin, who theatened the US for almost a decade. is dead..fulfilling a promise Obama made in Americans in the 2008 debates. Never again will Americans have to listen to another tape recorded message mocking the US and threatening harm. And Al Qaeda's top leadership is either dead or in hiding thanks to Obama's reliance on successful and deadly predator drone attacks

According to Gallup 63% of Americans now saying they expect to be better off a year from now, up from 52% recorded Four years ago in late May/early June 2008 during the end of the Bush Administration .

Back 4 years ago 31% of Americans said they would be worse off in a year. Today only 18% pessimistically say they expect to be be financially worse off in a year

Gallup also recorded that Americans' Emotional Health has reached a Four-Year High. Back in the closing days of the Bush Adminsitration Gallup pegged American's Emotional health at 77.5 in December 2008. That's the lowest score since Gallup began keeping records of how stressed and worried Americans were.

Today that Emotional Health score is at a 4 year high of 77.9 I feel pretty good about the future despite being a casualty of the Great Recession

what does a person with integrity and intelligence and respectabiltiy have in common with obama your welfare momma?

Absolutely nothing as obama your welfare momma is an idiot and deserves no respect from anyone becasue he is in love with himself and only out to further his own cause. he is a class a arsehole buttcheese and he will admit it and if that is not good enough for you just ask his mother and she will tell you what a douche bag he is and how he used her douche bag as a canteen when he was littler than he is now and played war games with his white friends and when he lost he called them all racists and took his moms douche bag and went home an unhappy little boy. That is why he is the racist he is now.

I am trying to figure out which "America" Joe Biden is talking about, because it certainly can't be this one. We're better off than 4 years ago??? Country is going in the right direction??? YIKES! It doesn't take a genious to figure out Joe Biden is really tryin' hard to hang on.

Well this is my take...Am I better off? HELL NO! The company that I work for had over 400 employees the day "Barry the Muslim Kenyan" took office. We were working on average 50-60 hours/week. Jump ahead to today....We now have 113 people. Some are working 3-4 days/week ( 24-32hours). Our 401k accounts have tanked. And my employer is requiring us to pay even more for our insurance since "Odumbocare" is still alive....Better off...ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?????

Whether you're in America or Europe the question is the same, "are we better off than since before the financial meltdown?" and the answer from must of us is "no". The problem is we expect everything to return to how it once was in a nano-second and not have to contribute to the resolution. After all, why should we? It was the financial institutions and the lackluster oversight of the governments worldwide and their so called independent bodies that allowed this destruction to evolve. But was it just them? How many of us took advantage of the credit boom, knowing full well we couldn't sustain our level of personal borrowing? Yes creditor checks should have been tighter, yes they shouldn't have just raised the limit on our card without first knowing we could repay but we took advantage of it all the same. We scream at the governments to fix the financial problem but when they do we cry wolf!! because life becomes much harder! The world lived on a credit card and it has to repaid and it cannot be done overnight. It doesn't matter who is in power, governments simply cannot keep the borrowing to the levels they once enjoyed, its simply not possible. The sooner everyone accepts this the better. For those who have a job, or are working less hours or for that matter more hours for less money, just think of those who don't even have a job and worse still have also lost their home! For those who were once management and are holding out for a similar position, get of your bum and go and stack in Target, a job is a job and it puts food on the table and keeps a roof over your family.

If Obama is re-elected we'll have to listen to another 4 years of "it's Bush's fault, it's the Teaparty's fault, it's the repub'sfault, it's the European economy, everybody but the man in charge.

Take responsibility!

I bought a house for $238,000, which was actually $2,000 less than appraisal, just a month before Obama was elected. It is now valued at about $170,000, in spite of some quality improvements and a $17,000 garage/workshop. So I figure I'm in the hole for something like $85,000. Neither my wife nor I have had a raise in four years, no COLA, and no bonuses because the economy is down overall. From what we expected, based on previous raises and bonuses, these four years have cost us at least another $50,000 in lost benefits. So now I'm down well over $130,000 in the last four years. And I'm supposed to buy Biden's load of crap that I'm better off? I'm no fan of Romney/Ryan, but at this point I'd vote for Bill and Ted if their excellent adventure would improve the economy.

More national debt funded by our Chinese credit card.

Gasoline prices are higher putting a burden on the working poor.

Low cost cars are a thing of the past due to Obamas gift to the foreign automakers via Cash for Clunkers. His gift to the enviroMentals and Japanese automakers have placed a huge burden on the working poor that depended on those low cost cars to get to work, instead they went to the scrap yard, funded by tax dollars and the scrap ends up in China to make dollar store garbage.

As for Usama, if Bush hadn't done what he had done, Usama would still be killing our citizens.

Dead border agents under this president as a direct result of his Atty Gen.

Unemployment rate is higher.

My property value is not higher.

So no I am not better off, as a single parent making less than 25K a year, Obama is sure to not get my vote. His policies have impacted my employer costing me hours, impacted my wallet at the pump and are horrible in general unless you are a union employee or banker that benefited from all those sales of new cars via Cash for Clunkers.

Ernie, Freddie and Fannie and all those loans were a result of Dodd/Frank.

The Big Three you say? Ford didn't take bailout money yet is going strong, how can that be? It's because the taxpayer funded Obama automaker bailout was simply a gift to the UAW.

GM is on top due to the disaster in Japan and as soon as Toyota is back and running at 100%, GM will sink right back into the hole where the coal that powers it's Volt comes from.

Less jobs than 4 years agao! Less unity than 4 years ago, Higher costs of gas, by doublem higher costs of foodm clothing,health carre and just about everything else!

A debt that will surpass 16 trillion as the democrats have their conferance!

The jewish state hanging by a thread, and Obama just above with his pinking shears, being the anti-senute that he is!

Putin waiting for the promised easier time which Obama made on mic!

Socialized health care forced down our throats, which the majority hate and which will bankrypt states! Which again, is whar Obama wants!

Obama readty to let the UN not only add a world tax to our citixens, but the added gun control the UN will install to eliminate our defense of self and country!

And on and on with this socialist dictator!

We are about as well off as a rat in a sinking whip with all laden goods being given away yo our enemies~

Right, we're better off, just like the 80 years old who will be told that the government health care will no longer take care of her cancer treatment!

• And as the National Debt crosses $16 trillion today, what is the Obama Administration doing? Finalizing a pact with Egypt's newly-established extremist Islamist government to forgive $1 billion in debt. What the hell, it’s not Obama's money…

So the big question for the election debates "are you better off now than you were four years ago?" The question we should be more interested in is "are our senators and congressmen better off than they were four years ago?" Funny how the wrong question always gets asked by the politicians.

The Obama Smoke & Mirrors Show rolls on, duping the ignorant and politically naive.

Obama offers false hope, false promises and a boatload of outright lies.

Joe Biden's mom is 80 years old, but that doesn't stop Joe from trying to scare her and lie to her. When will Joe start respecting seniors, stop lying to them and trying to scare them? I guess when you have failed president to try and support you will even go so far as to scare and lie to your own mother. Joe's mom should wash Joe's mouth out with a bar of soap.

My mom was a smart woman," Biden said. "But, my mom, I can't picture handing her a voucher at age 80 and saying, you go out in the insurance market and you figure out what's best for you."

As the USA struggles under record setting deficit spending and crushing record setting debt, with Mr. Obama poised to request yet another hike in the debt ceiling, Mr. Obama is telling Egypt to forget about that $3.2 billion they owe US and give them even more. Obama just doesn't get it.

CAIRO — The United States is nearing an agreement with Egypt’s new government to eliminate a significant portion of the $3.2 billion owed by the economically struggling nation, U.S. officials said Monday. The discussions are the first major negotiation between the Obama administration and Egypt’s new democratically elected leaders.

take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at

history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically
speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets
past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555
MPH!

So, tell me again, what
is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of
anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 33 months -- so you'll have about 7
months to come up with an answer. Every statement in this email is factual and
directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of
record and completely verifiable.

EVERYONE
SHOULD READ THIS...

I
WONDER HOW MANY WILL FORWARD THIS?

***************************************************************************************

This
tells the story, why Bush was so bad at the end of his 2nd
term.

Don’t
just skim over this, read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it
out.

The
day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January
3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the
Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The
Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since
the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For
those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything
is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January
3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At
the time:

The
DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The
GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The
Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George
Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB
GROWTH
Remember
the day...

January
3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services
Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking
Committee.

The
economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the
economy?
BANKING
AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Unemployment...
to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of
toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
FIASCOES!

Bush
asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because
it was financially risky for the US
economy.

And
who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?
OBAMA
And
who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA
and the Democrat Congress
So
when someone tries to blame Bush...

REMEMBER
JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK
OVER!"
Budgets
do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that
controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat
Party.

Furthermore,
the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010
&2011.
In
that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to
compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending
increases.

For
2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely,
passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama
could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to
complete the 2009 budgets.

And
where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress
that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill
as President to complete 2009.

If
the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the
Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth
straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took
control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the
budgets.

If
Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what
Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to
expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

There
is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it
on!

Back to the Future 2001:

1. "Nearly twelve years of tax breaks for the wealthy (job creators) have created full employment and, thus, prevented growth of the national debt. Republicans take credit for the success."
2. "Nearly twelve years of tax breaks for the wealthy have ballooned the national debt and unemployment is a serious and nagging national problem. Republicans blame President Obama for the consequences."

You decide.

The GREAT Republican 12 million to hire Job Creators.

READ MY LIPS or stop listening to the republican lies as they want you and me to think that LIES somehow are the standard truth and no matter what the circumstances or the overall outcome, you and me must be willing to accept it at all cost, even if it means total destruction. The next statement clearly defines the almighty JOB CREATORS the republicans keep hammering us with in their daily rhetorical rederick. I always said from day one that the famous JOB CREATORS are intentionally not hiring anybody until they believe that their masters ( Republicans ) gives them the green light, but as of today, I think they too are ready to dump the republican mantra and start being responsible and not be lead by the obstructionist, let's defeat Obama and lie to everyone and spread fear and blame everyone except themselves.

OPEN YOUR EARS AND USE YOUR GOD GIVEN COMMON SENSE AND STOP BELIVING THE LIES!

" Rather than hire and reduce the 8.3 percent unemployment rate, companies instead are deploying cash internally to help retain employees " SO IT GOES TO SAY, INSTEAD OF PROMOTING ANY HIRING OR BRINGING BACK THOSE YOU LAID OFF THESE COMPANIES WOULD RATHER NOT HIRE BUT PAY THEIR WORKERS LESS AND USE THOSE ENORMOUS PROFITS AND NOW PAY INTO 401K'S AND GAMBLE THAT MONEY BACK IN THE MARKETS BUT NOT INCREASE THE WORK FORCE ACROSS AMERICA AND INCREASE THE SALARIES SO WORKERS CAN AFFORD TO HAVE A FINANCIAL COMFORT AND ACHIEVE THEIR AMERICAN DREAM.

AGAIN, for those who somehow lack attention spans.....Rather than hire and reduce the 8.3 percent unemployment rate, companies instead are deploying cash internally to help retain employees....

Joe Biden is better off! He until Jan still has a job!

For Joe Biden to take credit for the courageous
acts of other men, especially an act that
ultimately cost many of those men their lives,
is about as despicable as a man can get.
But, then again, Joe Biden is about as despicable
as a man can get. Biden and his handler not only
disowned the means by which the intel was gathered
to find bin Laden, they tried to close the facility
where bin Laden's location was uncovered.

Knowing that killing Bin Laden would make those
men a prized target, a wise Commander in Chief
would have immediately pulled them from harm's way,
instead Obama sacrificed them to the Taliban. Now,
Obama's clown waves the flag over their graves.
Proud, ain't they.

Hey Biden! Here’s your bumper sticker:
Solyndra is dead; Socialism is alive!

the scary thing is - is that there are obama supporters out there that actually believe this rubbish - despite ALLthe facts saying otherwise
