Vote on the job Obama is doing

[JZVOL]

I gave one to my oldest daughter last week, a Hi-Standard .22.

It shoots as accurate as a rifle.

Your best post ever. Sometimes less is more.

I am glad you are not engaging in any uber-right spin or anything like that. Always nice to get into details with you, BPV, rather than the usual gross overclaims and exaggerations of some people.

Sarcasm noted. Tell me about how awesome this spending program is going to be and what wonderful people we are for giving away free money to homebuyers (which will only serve to artificially by almost exactly 8k amazingly enough). Finish that off with one decent example of federalized healthcare and one instance of same keeping the best and brightest pouring into medical schools.

I'm pumped for that answer.

so why would he get credit, you could be POTUS and it would eventually come back

You caught on to the point I was trying to make.

Do you honestly think the stock market wouldn't be tanking right now if a repub was in office?

The market would be crushed, but it doesn't like the big new spending and future tax on the wealthy for 100% sure.

of course it would be, at least the conservatives do not think that government spending is the way to bring it back

Re: health care, ask your parents or anyone else over 65 whether they think Medicare is a good idea. Then go check the overhead associated with Medicare versus the profit and overhead margins associated with BCBS or Aetna or Prudential or whoever, and get back to me.

re: homebuyers, something garbled there in translation, can you correct?

 

[myrobbins7]

The stock market is a foward looking indicator and it doesn't look good based on the crap that is comming out of Obama's mouth. If he would stop with his liberal gibberish, the market would rally. (IMO)

My parent absolutely hate Medicare in any and every form. No debate about it. That's simply welfare for the elderly and another SS style entitlement, regardless how you couch it. Further, are you senseless enough to think the bureaucracy doesn't coat about 14 times the health insurance underwriter enjoys?

Reread the other for yourself. I suspect you can find someone who can splain it to you.

Finally, you addressed neither of my questions re healthcare.

But don't you think this fear that the big cats on wall street have that they might not be able t get that second yacht they want is overriding market fundamentals at this point? It seems to me with stocks the way they are it would be a great time to buy and invest.

You dramatically overestimate the number of yacht types.

Seems to me that it's a good time to invest, but market psychology doesn't work that way, especially when the biggest investors are retirement fund managers scared of their shadow.

Which only serve to artificially "what"? Your original post seemed to be missing some text.

Regardless, would you say the retirement fund managers fear is primarily the fault of Obama?

And despite your misgivings on the stimulus plan as a whole (we can agree on the healthcare manure among other socialistic initiatives) now that there is money flowing back into the economy wouldn't they be a little more optimistic about people having money to spend?

Increase entry level house prices. They're simply going by by exactly 8k on average. My bad.

No. Obama has promised to take money from those with the most disposable income, this shrinking the economy, especially on the investment side. Fund manager fear simply reflects the view of their underlying investors. .

not to play the devil's advocate, but many tech companies have started their business plans directed to emerging from the current sh@tshorm. Watch for the rally in 6 months time.

I voted "great" out of spite, and because there's not an "ask again later" option. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure on his performance yet, but I'm not disappointed. I think a lot of people were under the impression that the nations problems were supposed to disappear as soon as the man took office. Ask me again in December. By that time his policies will have had time to take effect and then we'll see the repercussions of his actions.

I honestly think romney could stop some of the bleeding.

poor, primarily because he's basically become the lapdog of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

I remember his supporters claiming he'd govern from the middle and that it would be easy for him to keep Pelosi and Reid in check.

 

[joevol320]

Good.....


Because if the usual suspects vote poor and terrible,it has to be he's doing a good job!

hey orangeblood please volunteer yourself to be the first to be layed off when your company has to make cuts due to the tax increase. since you did you part in keeping the economy a shambles, you really to do your part. maybe if you don't volunteer, they'll do it anyways.

i know it's mean, but sometimes people have to see the results of their actions. don't worry orangeblood, hussein will give you plenty of welfare.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

He speaks too much and when he does speak its a bunch of BS with no details. If he wants to keep his celeb status he has to be more low key so when he does speak it actually means something. The guy has like 3 press conferences per day

so you assume all of the spending programs and increased taxes on those who can turn this around are a deke?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I voted terrible because "disastrous" wasn't an option. Why were "great" and "good" options?

Obama's first month in office has been more reckless and detrimental to America's long-term health than I ever could have imagined when he was elected. With his exobritant spending, Obama has swiftly put the federal government on the same path as California's government - bankruptcy. I just hope that we're able to get through the next 2-4 years with as little irreparable having been done to our country as possible.

 

[SavageOrangeJug]

I want to know where the media is taking their polls.

It seems the people I talk to run pretty close in opinion to the results of this poll. No way in Hell the media is taking a cross section. They are targeting Democratic strongholds.

 

[OrangeYankee]

And when have they NOT done that? They ended up being right in the 2008 elections, but they thought Kerry had it in the bag even on election day, and we all saw how that turned out.

 

[SavageOrangeJug]

I wish some of those who voted great would list their reasons.

Only one person has admiited to voting great, and that was for spite (not sure who it was to spite). I wonder if the other three voted great out of spite?
