2Q GDP revised UP to 4.2%

[Sooner in Tampa]

So what about the lowest labor participation since 1978 or the 50 million on food stamps?

High corporate taxes and suffocating regulations are not how you expand economies. We could do so much more if we had a "capitalist" in there. The Community Reinvestment Act, a brainchild of the Democratic Party sunk Bush's economy. BHO has done everything possible to hinder economic growth. Any successes in the economy were not a result of any policy BHO set forth.

Don't expect an answer...great points are ignored

Each one of these we have gone over on this board.

lowest labor participation since 1978 - about 1/2 of a percentage point on unemployment or ~800k

50 million on food stamps - who drove us into the republican rescission to begin with? REPUBLICANS!

High corporate taxes and suffocating regulations are not how you expand economies. - record high corporate profits, you expand economies by DEMAND.

We could do so much more if we had a "capitalist" in there. - even the faux "news" producer who started this doesn't believe it.

The Community Reinvestment Act, a brainchild of the Democratic Party sunk Bush's economy. - TOO ****ING FUNNY! It was the REPUCLIAN IDEA to not regulate credit default swaps. Revisionist history.

BHO has done everything possible to hinder economic growth. - The teabagging republicans in congress who have fought everything from extending unemployment benifits to debt ceiling fights to shutting down the government to cutting government spending during a recession are the real culprit here.

Any successes in the economy were not a result of any policy BHO set forth. - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Economists agree: Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs. Eighteen months later, the consensus among economists is that the stimulus worked in staving off a rerun of the 1930s.

Funny stuff.

If you want a temp job or if you can say "would you like to supersize" that, then you guys are quite the job creation machine!

Oh boy...

Each one of these we have gone over on this board.

lowest labor participation since 1978 - about 1/2 of a percentage point on unemployment or ~800k Yep...just poo poo these numbers

A shrinking workforce saps the U.S. of the manpower needed to boost the expansion to a higher level, keeping the world’s largest economy merely plodding along. It also undercuts the theory that sustained growth alone will be enough to attract more Americans, from students to people discouraged over employment prospects, back into the hunt for jobs.

50 million on food stamps - who drove us into the republican rescission to begin with? REPUBLICANS! HAHAHA...Obama is the Food Stamp President and it's the Republicans fault??? How the **** does that work? You brother has been the boss for 6 years...when does his start being accountable???

Obama as an entitlement president, said Robert Rector, senior research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation. Spending on income-based programs, such as food stamps, has increased by one-third to $900 billion under Obama. There are 70 such programs. "He is massively expanding spending on welfare-related programs," Rector said. "Food stamps is a symbol of that growth."

High corporate taxes and suffocating regulations are not how you expand economies. - record high corporate profits, you expand economies by DEMAND. This is a general difference of opinion, high corporate taxes stop new businesses from being started and/or having companies relocate...ala Burger King...Look at the UK for goodness sakes, they had a tax rate of 24% and on 1 April 2015, it will be 20%...novel ****ing idea

We could do so much more if we had a "capitalist" in there. - even the faux "news" producer who started this doesn't believe it.

The Community Reinvestment Act, a brainchild of the Democratic Party sunk Bush's economy. - TOO ****ING FUNNY! It was the REPUCLIAN IDEA to not regulate credit default swaps. Revisionist history. To be fair, the Community Reinvest Act was a bipartisan deal-Passed the House on May 11, 1977 (369-20)-Passed the Senate on June 7, 1977 (79-7)

BHO has done everything possible to hinder economic growth. - The teabagging republicans in congress who have fought everything from extending unemployment benifits to debt ceiling fights to shutting down the government to cutting government spending during a recession are the real culprit here. What? 99 weeks of unemployment is not enough? Everything is the Republicans fault...typical DNC answer

352 House bills "sitting on Harry Reid’s desk awaiting action," including 55 introduced by Democrats.

Any successes in the economy were not a result of any policy BHO set forth. - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Economists agree: Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs. Eighteen months later, the consensus among economists is that the stimulus worked in staving off a rerun of the 1930s. Nice article ~ DNC talking points? Not everyone agrees with your side.

The White House predicted that in 2012 the economy would grow by 4.6 percent, unemployment would drop to 6 percent, and the budget deficit would shrink to a mere 3.5 percent of GDP.

Well, here we are, and no one is talking about these predictions anymore. Real economic growth has stagnated at 2 percent, while official unemployment hovers near 8 percent and actual unemployment remains in the double-digits. Adding insult to injury, the only growth the stimulus spending has actually produced is a ballooning of the deficit to 8.5 percent of GDP. Only in Washington, D.C. could the idea of overspending our way out of a financial hole be taken seriously. It is almost as if, in addition to checking common sense when crossing the D.C. beltway, no one in government learns from past mistakes.

Oh boy...

Real economic growth has stagnated at 2 percent,

You keep forgetting it was 1.69% under bush. You keep forgetting that under bush 825,000 PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS LOSSES. Why is it that you and yours are freaking out about how obama is doing when he is kicking bush's and his policies you want put back into place @ss?

Dude...get over it...Bush hasn't been the President for SIX ****IN YEARS!!!! MOVE THE **** ON!!!

He'll be squealing the same thing 20 years from now, Bush, Bush Bush.

When you have nothing substantive to hang your hat on in 5 plus years...you blame someone else. It deflects the spotlight away from yourself. You can measure a person's character in many different ways. For someone to not own up to anything, and continue to blame and whine about someone else...speaks volumes about BHO the man. I don't think "excuses" is one of the virtues of what makes up great leaders, at least I hope not. Really kind of a pathetic figure.


It takes a different type of President to distance yourself from your allies and then kiss up and apologize to your enemies in order to gain favor. Cancelling the missile defense system in eastern Europe in his first year in office didn't gain the US stronger ties with Russia, it sent a message to Putin that BHO was a weak leader who was alarmingly naïve. The history books will not treat him very kindly.

You are missing the point here, as usual. The point is your guys want the same exact policies that bush had! NO DIFFERENCE!

Rightwingnut talking points on russia - did you see bush don ANYTHING when russia and Georgia went to war in 2008? Do you think him doing nothing but talking tough had anything to do with his actions now? Or is it all on obama now? What is it you and yours want obama to do? EXACTLY what.

God forbid anyone says anything wrong about a minority...really that is what it comes down to.

Anyone who disagrees with obama and his adm or what they are doing are labeled racists by their supporters. Not right away sometimes, but eventually. 8th has used the pitchfork and torches picture several times...denoting that we are racists. I could care less what color anyone is...

Defend Bush? I am a conservative, and Bush was no conservative. But to blame every ill of our country on one man, is really silly and makes your hero seem shallow and without the depth this office demands.

God help us the next time some politician states that he wants to "fundamentally transform America", that the Nation will take notice and demand to know in what ways? Obama's past told us everything we wanted to know, but we (as a country) was mesmerized by his "hope and change" rhetoric and didn't bother to dig into his past. The glaring realization that this man was woefully unqualified for this job is now apparent by most anyone but BHO himself and sycophants like you.

First off who is trying to blame it on bush? I blame it on your party. As for blaming one man - that is EXACTLY what you are doing with obama.

Bush not being a conservative? That is laughable, how convenient for you and yours, just as soon as your policies of cuttin' taxes and regulations blow up in our face and we have to dig out of the mess those policies put us in, you, like Judas, deny him being one of yours.
