I’ll betcha a cold 6-pak of your IPA of choice that “Day 911” has massive significance in the Obama administration. While the irony is awesome, it’s the day that Obama dipped below Reagan in Approval Rating for the first time since nominal amounts early on.
Reagan began growing on day 739. Obama began sinking on day 836.
And he’s not done yet. Up next: Carter.
“Unless things change and Obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill Romney,” said a prominent Democratic strategist aligned with the White House.
Kinder and gentler nation.
This is what a Liberati means when they say we have to control discourse. They mean everyone except them.
I’m not so much shocked at the irony, I’m shocked anyone is shocked.
For nearly 5.5 years now Barack Obama has been blaming Dubya for the condition of the economy. In some cases, to be fair, he’s right. Dubya and the Republicans had control of things for a number of years and they all spent like massive fools. They deserve their share of the blame.
The strategy has run it’s course. Except for the far left Liberati, the idea that Bush is to blame is a Trivial Pursuit answer; next to meaningless. The current administration has had time to try their grand experiments, the results are in and stock must be taken.
Obama has to see that what he’s doing isn’t working. In fact, what he’s doing is making it even worse. In short, he’s taken a bad, very bad, situation, and simply done wrong.
Obamacare – an economy killing piece of legislation. Feel good? Free rubbers for everyone? Sure; maybe. But a jobs driver? Not so very much:
From the post:
Correlation is not causation, but in fact we have a lot of independent evidence (including my own experience) that many small and middle sized companies have changed their hiring plans based on costs and uncertainties of Obamacare.
Say what ya want. Data seems to be adding up that kids of socialist Marxists growing up learning to despise colonizers who then go to liberal law schools and organize the poor while never holding a job that demands results within the context of larger organizational constraints don’t make good Presidents.
I’m just sayin’.

The United States of America has lost it’s AAA credit rating for the first time in the history of time. It lost it in part because of it’s long term debt and deficits and, to be fair, because of the political nonsense displayed by the Congress and the White House.
The markets are down, at one point down nearly 400 points.
Barack Obama is going to address the nation this afternoon at 1:00.
Here’s what he should say:
Here’s what he will say:

‘Nuff said.
I have posted on a comparison of the last major recessions. The first such comparison featured the GDP growth as we march through that recovery. Each President; Obama, Bush, Clinton and Reagan had a shot at a recovery.
This post will feature the unemployment rate as we continue from recession to recovery. This specific comparison, or feature, will look at the raw unemployment rate. All data is taken from the BLS.gov website.
So, what does the data show?

I think that I am consistent with the Republican party’s claim that one Mr. Barack Obama spends too much. Further, I think that I am consistent with the same Republican party in their view that it’s spending, not revenue that’s the problem. After all, I’ve demonstrated that receipts increase year over year at a 7.2%. And by simply slowing the growth of government, we can balance the budget in as little as 19 years. God forbid what happens if we actually REDUCE the year over year of the government spend.
To that end, there has been much talk in the nation about that government spending. Where it came from and who is actually spending it.
Remember, the subject is spending. And that Barack is doing more of it than anyone else.
The context is “who is contributing to the massive increase in government spending we are seeing?”
And the answer to that question is being answered by this graph:
