Uh, this isn't a one sided deal broham. Your boy Barry is rolling through the cheddar like nothing seen before.
Never let the facts get in your way, Gilligan. You really should read the newspaper. 1. The deficit spending has gone down in every year since Obama was elected. 2. The deficit will be 5.3 percent of GDP this year, nearly half the 10.1 percent of GDP in 2009. 3. Obama oversaw the lowest annual increases in spending of any president in 60 years using raw numbers (1.4%). Using using inflation-adjusted figures, Obama was 2nd lowest (-0.1%) after Eisenhower (-0.5%)
And yet, "Just 22 percent of Americans say they are better off financially than when Obama took over in January 2009. Slightly more (30 percent) say they're worse off, and nearly half (46 percent) say they're in about the same situation. Even among Democrats, just 37 percent say they are better off under Obama, while 51 percent say they're virtually in the same spot. Among Obama's most loyal constituency, African Americans, 33 percent say they're better off, with most (again) choosing the middle-ground option" Facts and stats don't mean shit when you have to buy groceries and get about 1/3 the amount that I did prior to his election. I pay far more in taxes, have far less money after paying bills, and am unable to save at the same pace. There is nothing better about my situation nor anyone else I know. My healthcare options became limited, I pay more for medical and dental. Public education is far from "free"....I pay more out of pocket for my kids than I ever have. Race relations are in the toilet. The courts are all fucked up with no tort reform coming any time soon. Terrorist threats are more present than at any time. China owns an increasing amount of American debt. The Saudi's hold the upper hand. I'm trying to find where all this "great stuff" is really happening.
And you are right on time to discard anything that doesn't flatter the President. I gave hard facts to dispute the rosy picture Red painted. Please tell me where I am wrong. Half of what I included is my own personal experience since Obama took office. And let's look at recent news..... "American officials acknowledged that the Jan. 15 attack was a signature strike, but said that the C.I.A. had assessed with “high confidence” that the compound in the Shawal Valley was being used by Qaeda operatives. The officials said that before every drone strike — whether in Pakistan or elsewhere — the agency must have “near certainty” that no civilians will be killed. The strike was conducted despite Mr. Obama’s indication in a speech in 2013 that the C.I.A. would no longer conduct such signature strikes after 2014, when American “combat operations” in Afghanistan were scheduled to end. Several American officials said Thursday that the deadline had not been enforced......There were two more burials than we expected, and we didn’t know who they were,” said one American official briefed on the investigation. Then, when the C.I.A. pressed informants on the ground for more information and sifted through more intercepts, analysts began hearing ominous talk that “Westerners” had been killed. " So our "intelligence" determined there were no Westerners but a simple pressuring of ground informants revealed the truth? And all of that after Obama said no drone strikes after 2014. Right. You can play the republican game all you want. I take all sides/politicians to task, not just Obama. I have yet to see you acknowledge any of that.
i stopped reading after this lie, ive criticized the President numerous times here. But hey cool story from a non republican. when did race relations get out of the toilet? i cant take anyone serious blaming race relations on Obama, thats a typical right wing talking point.
As I have criticized MANY of the republican side, particularly the ultra cons and those who do nothing but sit on their fat asses and make money for themselves while the rest of America struggles. Bush, McCain, Boehner, Christie, Rubio, Palin....I've widely criticized them all. Feel free to ignore facts.
facts? what I am not void of is who or what i am. if you are a republican or conservative be non repentant of it, but if you arent, you play one well on tv. i get along well with many conservatives. Ask Shane, because I know who they are and they know who i am and we can argue and set it aside after that.
