    congress blocking everything…or doing nothing? Not all of these things need congress’ approval or disapproval…

    I hear that Coppertone stock is way up!

    And regarding the Looooooooooonnnnnggggg list; no wonder the only things that some of Obama’s critics can come up with, are the perceived “OMG!! His middle name is Hussein, so he must be a Muslim terrorist!!!11111“, and the birth certificate, issues.

    He’s a winner alright. 5 Trillion debt, 23 million jobless, lowest growth rate of any recession OR depression in US History, stagnant GDP, lowest rate of new business starts in history…. and that ever popular Obamacare. Imagine, the worlds largest economy, and no budget in over 3 years. There’s so much to choose from dobro.. he did the impossible, raised inflation during recession… I thought only Jimmy Carter could pull that off. Let’s not forget Fast and Furious….that is a problem … we could go on, and on, and on…. well JaN there are currently 154 pieces of legislation … including five budget plans sitting on the desk of Harry Reid … awaiting action. Congress has been busy.. and doing their job… not the Senate. But, as the voters who overturned congress two years ago, are prone to do… they are getting ready to remedy that too.

    you do go on and on

    i just wish there was more substance to your on and on

    and I bet you wish you had a candidate you could sell on his own merits

    instead of having to ceaselessly try to tear the other guy down

    Every one is a fact. See JoB .. when you are an incumbent, we have to have reasons to vote FOR you. Hope and Change didn’t transition over to Action and Realization. Are you better off today, than you were four years ago? If you are, the rest of the nation is still waiting their turn.

    hey, Kootch…congress INCLUDES the Senate…it’s not just the House…yeah, I know, picky, picky…but when it comes to someone posting “truths”, they need to get it ALL right…otherwise, how can we trust the rest of what’s said…?

    Ceaselessly tear him down….And you have always said positive things about former President Bush. Right….Priceless and a bit, no, a lot hypocritical too.

    Bush did not push through the loan. It went back for further review. That is not to say that he did not push the program that it was under. Fact Checking does wonders. I wish you guys would state the whole truth and not just the parts that make your side seem to look good.

    Here’s what happened

    The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department’s credit committee made a unanimous decision not to offer a loan commitment to Solyndra.

    In 2008, Solyndra, then just three years old, pushed ahead with its application for government backing to build a new plant to produce its unique solar panels. An outside rating agency, Fitch, gave Solyndra a B+ credit rating that August. Two months earlier, in June 2008, Dun & Bradstreet issued a credit appraisal of the company. Its assessment: “Fair.”

    Those are not top-of-the-line scores, Fitch Ratings spokeswoman Cindy Stoller told the Center for Public Integrity’s iWatch News, which has been investigating the deal in partnership with ABC News since March. She could not discuss the Solyndra review specifically, but said of a B+ rating: “It’s a non-investment grade rating.” She provided a company ratings definition, showing that B+ fal

    See Romney may not be charismatic…. but he knows a company that builds something for twice the price they can sell it for… well, it’s not investment grade. The Bush folks turned it down,… Obama wanted quick approval for a photo op while on his way to California.

    Lots of facts… from lots of places

    Obama methodically gets Osama Bin Laden wiped off the face of the earth. (GW Bush wouldn’t/couldn’t).

    Obama, during his college days, farts in front of a bunch of little old ladies, out in public.*

    He’s a lousy President…..

    Mike

    *Note: I don’t know, and highly doubt, this actually happened. Just made it up to show the ridiculousness of the arguments of some of the anti-Obama crowd.

    We can argue about past events but we cannot change them. At best, we might even learn from them. Sadly, I sincerely doubt it…

    Well, that was easy. Do you think we’ll get the full “Fast and Furious” diatribe next or will we go directly to Obamacare? My money is on Fast and Furious. Whaddaya think?

    I only wish that George WPE Bush had been more of a do-nothing President, too. Or rather, I wish that he’d been more consistent in his do-nothing policy.

    Whenever there was a crisis, at first he’d rush to do nothing. And when he finally did do something, it was the WRONG thing.

    well Mike,that Seal Team Six was the result of the extraordinary investment previous administrations invested in making our war fighter the most feared snake eaters on the face of this planet. Everything that made that raid possible was put in place long before Hussein became president. Remember when a defense cutting ex-president tried it on the “cheap”…. a la Jimmy Carter and the fiasco in in the Iranian desert? THe drones, survellence, the stealth radar supressing helicopters. the training, body armor, weapons, satellite uplinks…. all of it… those tools of the trade were courtesy of Dubya and Rumsfeld. Hell dude, they had a Belgian Malinois with titanium canines! Let’s not forget, that the information came from enhanced interrogation that Husseins

    flunky, Eric Holder tried to prosecute the CIA agents for, and we got the messenger through the CIA rendition program. Just a few added facts. He pulled the trigger on weapons put in his hand by his predecessors. RR, JC, GB. This is the dude that wants to cut a trillion out of defense to pay for his solar panel and windmill empire. Seems like you have the list dobro… just post em… there is no shortage of things to mull over.

    But here… GDP is now below 2% of GDP, unemployment is again rising, now 8.2 per cent, a whopping 14.6 effective unemployment. 69,000 new jobs which doesn’t even keep up with population growth, declining orders in manufactured goods… and more debt. Good month for the Prez eh? And what does he do… yes, indeed… back to the old standby…blame it on Bush. It’s getting worse. Figure about 45 per cent of this years graduates will find a job within 6 months. Ahhhhh only the truly devoted would even contemplate 4 more years of this. Clueless. well here we are three years later after his first stimulus …remember we would not go over 8 per cent? we haven’t gone under it his entire administration. Your SS is being funded by US Treasuries that aren’t even yielding 2%. But, … he is off doing SIX fund raisers in our ever so costly Air Force One ….. 24 million bucks of our tax dollars. Are you better off today then you were three years ago? 22 million aren’t. Back to Bush was worse… hey Mike..he isn’t running for office. Hussein is.
