*OFFICIAL* The President Barack Obama Thead (5 Viewers)

[Enron]

Perhaps. I mean, we're about talking the downfall of an empire here. Thanks to some greedy motherfuckers who should be charged with treason.

I think we just have to rebuild. Concentrate on rebuilding infrastructure. This country has loads of potential. We need to remove our focus from Corporate American and Wall Street and begin building productivity in Main Street. The important thing is making sure people have jobs. A job, especially in a time of dire straits, is much more than a money maker for families. It's a source of pride and gives you a feeling like you're doing much more than collect a government check for fake money. It's like building a fire when your lost in the woods, it gives you confidence and a sense that things will be alright.

I understand how economics can predict the fall of an empire and all that. And I do understand the economics behind it. What I don't get is how people can be so damn complacent and accepting about the situation. As if mass poverty and a future of ruin is acceptable standard to look forward to. It's not, especially for Americans.

As far as Obama goes. The guy can do no wrong in my book. This situation is so bad, that he may not be able to get us out of the hole. It isn't his fault that people thought the man who almost bankrupted the Texas Rangers could run an economy. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of GW Bush and Walter Reagen. Anyone who say different can meet me in the square with a rapier at dawn.

But being complacent about the situation is what needs to be done. It's just the way the economy works. We can't have the government coming in tossing around money to various firms propping them up, allowing them to conduct their business as usual that got us into this mess. In fact, government coming into rescue some businesses is far worse than doing nothing, because that means the better firms are hindered from growing themselves, thus hindering even more job growth. I mean, this is insanity to give the robbers all this money so the same people can screw up everything even more. What we need is more savings and less government to allow the markets to work properly, stimulating investment from other entrepreneurs. That's the real stimulus the economy needs.

As painful as it may be, we just have to allow the economy to run its course. Unfortunately though, during the last 12 or so years, every negative impact has been delayed to this point, by the work of the Federal Reserve and the government. The answer is less Federal Reserve and government, not the other way around.

It's like an alcoholic fighting off his addiction with more alcohol.

Obama can do no wrong? That's pretty scary, Enron. You're starting to sound like the Bush voters.

They are also absolutely to blame.

But you shouldn't be talking about them after you voted for Bush, the administration that signifies the possible death of this country.

Seriously, open your eyes to all this nonsense, and throw away your political affiliations.

 

[Enron]

Well I wouldn't say he can do no wrong. Perhaps I misspoke. I guess I just give him a little more lee way considering how dire the situation already is.

That is fair enough. The situation is an accumulation of about 25 years of insanity.

Thank you Ronald Reagan.

 

[Bjerknes]

Thank you Ronald Reagan.

The most overrated President in history.

 

[Vinman]

whatever

 

[Bjerknes]

Nice response, Vin. You know Reagan was a vastly overrated President.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

reagon was a joke, but dubya takes the cake though he was hilarious

 

[Bjerknes]

I always thought it was fitting that Reagan died from something he refused to fund to counteract.

Dubya is just a hero for all idiots. You have to love his demeanor.

 

[Vinman]

we elected someone who we know zilch about, and with little experience

he better do some studying about the second amendment, and its nice to know he's already signed a bill that lessens restrictions on abortions

Reagan was the best president we've had in a long while....I wonder what Barack is gonna do as the Soviet Union becomes more powerful, and begins to assert itself again. Oh, I know what he will do, he'll just cut the military funding, as he's already planned to do

and lets remember one thing, we were only attacked once on W's watch (with most of the planning done on Billy-boys timex), but how many times were we, or our interests attacked on Billy-boys ??

dont think for a second that the terrorists dont see a weak individual in Barack, and plan on testing him

 

[swag]

If terrorist attacks are the measure of a president's worth, we're f*cked. Actually, we already are from the last guy in office.

Reagan told us we could live fat and spend, spend, spend -- conservation be damned. And he nearly tripled the national debt in the process. He never even tried to balance the national budget and fattened the federal dole.

We got to spend the money of future generations, so I hope the party was worth it.

Vinni, unfortunately, you have no idea what's going on. NO IDEA.

I read your post until this....


Grow up.

 

[Enron]

Reagan implemented outsourcing... ie Reagan is responsible for India's success and the US failure. So maybe Reagan was a good president after all... for Indians.

Oh and about his tax cuts... he made one in his entire term. But he cut taxes so much he had to raise taxes three times.

Yeah, but you were also only attacked once in history. So he's got a pretty bad record I'd say.

I guess you forgot about Reaganomics

Grow up.

Yeah, but you were also only attacked once in history. So he's got a pretty bad record I'd say.
