Obama sounded almost giddy on how well the country is doing. The stated unemployment rate only ROSE to 9.9%. HOORAY! (however, when you include EVERYTHING in that category, it is 17.4%, almpost a record high)He says that was good, because it shows more people are looking for jobs. I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with the expiration of the benefits period. Also, I'm sure the new jobs "created" in govt sector has really helped. Oh, and also the 56,000 temporary jobs working for the census.
On another item showing just how well everything is going, food stamps just reached a new record total of nearly 40 million persons.
Greece has all the problems they have , and are asking for 139 billion from UK to keep from sinking. Just the CA entitlements are nearly FIVE HUNDRED BILLION, one state! When the U.S. gets to 100% debt ratio , who do we go to for bailout. Oh, stock market is down over 200 points and has dropped 50 in the last 5 minutes.
I guess this might be why I don't feel all warm and fuzzy, even though obama is giddy. Rich

Elisha- that is fair enuff, so let me respond. If you really want some facts, I suggest you read Glen Becks' book Arguing with Idiots. After you read all the content, go to the back. There are 1,550 footnotes where all the info came from.

Then, read Culture of Corruption by Michelle Culkin. It has nearly the same amount of footnotes substantiating her info.
Both books are scathing attacks on obama group. Notice, I said group. I truly believe that the pres is getting his strings pulled by 3 people, and he is a good puppet. I could care less what his skin color is. The people that are making the policy are very bright people. Those are the ones that scare me. Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel and Robert Reisch. I believe they're all three white, but I really don't care.
My anger toward obama is because he must be ousted before the others are driven out. At least his poll #'s are down so I don't see any more spending shoved down our throats.
We have a debt that is impossible to service. I'll vote for any person, race, sex human/alien, if they'll reduce spending ACROSS the board 10% per year for 5 years.
By the way, there is a fellow I listened to on TV that used to be CEO of Dominos, I think. I know he is Black, and I'll vote for him if he gets any traction. I want someone that underrstands $$$ at least as well as I do! I'd also vote for Romney. He bailed our Utah butts out on the 2002 Olympics when we were going down the toilet.
Your neighbor is a dumb arse and He otta be shot, while we still have gun rights.
Having lived in AZ and TX, I assure you the illegal immigration is killing those states and obama wants to keep it that way. I have too many stories of what it actually is like, and it is bad. He looks like the good guy to the hispanics and needs the votes, twice per voter if he can get them, tic. Rich
