The Blue Board

You think investments don't fail in the private sector?

You don't think a private company couldn't eff up one? For reasons similar to those accused of the current admin?

Come on.

Seriously give the party-line BS a rest. This isn't 2009. No one is blaming bush anymore and if they are they are fvcktards.

So we shouldnt blame bush but apparently cant blame obama either. Who do we blame?

Seriously Obama could come out today and say he was born in Kenya, which would make him ineligible to be president, and this idiot would be defending him.

So is he a Marxist communist or a Muslim? Just trying to keep up here. Guy should just show his birth certificate I mean that's demanded publicly of every president ever right?

What'd we double it from? 2 to 4%?

Nope. Get ready for even more.

Obama is most likely is agnostic. Which fits into his believes of socialism/communism.

Why do they need a tax credit?

I don't know. Why do oil and coal need tax credits?

As production kept increasing, in the mid to late 70's as neoliberalism gained traction, our wages fell disproportionately. The private sector (households) kept taking on more debt, as a replacement, to maintain living standards. Ultimately this led to a false sense of confidence and the spending and thus, the economy, was growing on speculation (stock bubble in 90's, housing bubble). Not to mention we ran a govt surplus in the late 90's which also reduced private sector net savings. Once the housing bubble finally burst, it was clear there was no more private sector spending that could support the speculative bubble economy that was built. The spending now has to find real goods and services from which to build our economy. The blame can be passed around.

By the way, WTI has dropped to around four bucks to ~$93.24/b in the last few days.

Gas is on the way out, one way or another, in due time. Time to accept that.

No. It is lack of experience coupled with arrogance buoyed up by a news media only reporting the President’s position with any opposition reflected in a negative light. Not to far off from "blind loyallty."

President Obama fell back on the one thing he has done in his life; that is to be a community organizer. He found his issue defined as a lack of ‘fairness’ in tax rates, and the Budget Control Act of 2011 was crafted to bring a tax increase on the wealthy to the forefront of National attention. He needed to spend Federal money to swing the upcoming Presidential election in his favor so he entered into the BCA of 2011 with Congress to get his funding. The election is over, Obama is still President, but payment has come due = sequestration.

The President intended to just rule by decree and bypass the Budget Control Act of 2011. His technique of psychological crowd manipulation that was so effective on the dysfunctional urbanite population down on 95th street has proven to be valueless in the face of a diverse Congress.

Unable to achieve his goal of unrestricted spending, Obama is now blaming the wealthy for not paying enough taxes. He blames the Republicans for not giving him his way. He is relying on the new media to carry his water by making excuses and further blaming the Republicans. This is the pattern with Obama.

He reeks of inexperience. The ultra smart liberal elite President was unable to scale up his psychological political tricks to the Feds. He is unable to cut a deal with Congress, and he his proving to be unable to direct Government policy in a positive manner. Rather than execute policy to solve the problem, Obama is in effect campaigning for the public to do his job.

Psychological Headliners Coming From the White House if the Furloughs Occur:

"You will not be able to travel safe"
"Our National Defence will be Down"
"Food Inspectors will not be able to do their job and protect you and your children"
"Boarder Patrol will not be able to prevent dangerous illegals from coming in"

He is using psychological warfare on his own people to make up for his inability to actually Lead.

Not to mention - this is the 4th year in a row that he is late on submitting his budget to congress - which is a federal violation of law in his office seat.

Obama has proposed budgets late every year, in violation of law. Obama's FY14 budget proposal was due 4 Feb 2013. It is LATE AGAIN - Shocker! Last year, Obama's budget did not garner a single vote, not even from a democrat. It was soundly rejected by the democrat-controlled Senate 99 to 0. Despite Obama's late and unsupported budget proposal last year, the House finished appropriations bills and passed to the Senate in July last year - plenty of time to negotiate and pass a budget. Reid (democrat Senate Leader) refused to allow the budget on the Senate floor for debate, amendment, or vote.

But when you have 3 out of the 4 major reporting companies carrying the liberal agenda - these ugly truths never see the light of day.
