Your biased left-wing comic left out Obama, who increased our National Debt from $10.7 Trillion to $16++++ Trillion in less than 4 years!!! Nice try, but HUGE fail. Oh, and what other President's Economic Policy not only repaired failed economic policies of the previous administration, but also gave us a 25 year bull market other than Reaganomics?

Your stellar reading comprehension has obviously failed you again, Fat Blue Fish. Your willful ignorance is just pathetic.

 

[Sam Fisher]

FatFishBlu is correct. It seems that some in here have a short memory.




See ya'll after the election. You know the one I'm talking about....... the Landslide victory by Romney/Ryan.

There has never been a 25 year bull market in the history of equity investing in the U.S. That is quite simply a myth. The longest bull market run was in the summer of 1927, when the DJIA ended higher in 24 of 27 sessions. Next was early 2007, when the Dow ended up 23 of 26 sessions.

Speaking strictly about equities, what's happened to equities since Obama has been in office has been great. The Dow is up almost 105% in the past 3+ years. Those of us who didn't fall prey to the Chicken Little types in the financial media have done extremely well since the 2009 trough.

I voted for Reagan and still have a fondness for him. I was schooled in Supply Side theory in college and still see its benefits, when properly applied (it is not a universal economic fix or a religion, as some seem to think). Even portions of Obama's oft criticized stimulus were based on supply side theory... though most on the right ignore or lie about that. But facts are facts. But one legitimate criticism of Reagan is that rather than tax & spend, he employed borrow & spend. In practical terms, deficit spending is deficit spending is deficit spending. And under Reagan, his other accomplishments aside, he took the U.S. from being the greatest creditor nation in the history of the world to the greatest debtor nation. That did happen on his watch. The Black Monday crash of 1987 aside, Reagan was generally good for stock market investors and pretty good for real estate investors too (), but some now choose to deify him as they speak about him and his policies these days.

There's never been a President who was all good or all bad for the U.S. economy. Even Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush had their good moments. And Reagan had his share of bad moments. Obama certainly deserves criticism (IMO) for the debt and unemployment situation. But for investors (real estate, equities, bonds, commodities, etc.) and borrowers, he's been a ***** come true.

You losers are still blaming Bush for things, huh? Look in the mirror and start placing blame where it should be, on Barry Soetoro, aka Barrack Hussein Obama.

Try research and facts not plain old bigotry and rhetoric it might make you a better person.

Worst job in the world? President of the United States.
Best job in the world? Former President of the United States.

The GOP said,"Thanks George, but stay on your ranch and keep your mouth shut." before the party started fielding candidates for 2008.

Here's a little insight into why these wars didn't create the change we wanted. When we came in there to free the people they had no idea what it meant. They had to take care of themselves and build from scratch. Problem is that we have no conception of their kind of thinking. Men don't do physical labor there, the woman does it. We destroy a palace and need to clean it up to set up a post and the men, through culture, don't know what it is to grab a broom or push a wheel barrow. Holy ****! Now they are expected to be trained for a police *****? Their thinking is,"Fuck that." We'll do the praying and hand the guns over to our 13yo sons.

We train our police officers and armed ****** people in just a few months. How many fucking years will it take to teach these people how it's done? At some point it's time to throw your hands up and say good bye. This **** has taken too long already. I won't blame administrations for this, but if the intelligence and state department don't know of these obstacles then they suck at what they do. They provide the knowhow that leaders depend upon.

W. Bush wasn't a very good president...He brought in that awful Patriot Act, The War On ******, his State Of The Union Address where he said he is going to war with Iraq, invading Iraq, the handling of the 9/11 attacks, The Mission Accomplish Controversy, The No ***** Left Behind Act didn't really help schools, lacked Reagan's ideas, most of his cabinet members resigned e.g. Colin Powell, brought the country into a huge debt, the bailouts were a disaster, his lack of in participating with the citizens of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, his last farewell address to Iraq only to get flying shoes thrown at him, the whole world protested against George dub-ya Bush and deemed him as a War President...Yeah W. Bush was a disaster alright and he wasn't very educated, used his infamous Bushisms and had the worst approval ratings ever.

So it's clear why he decided to keep a tight lid after his 8 years in office...He was in Canada to promote his book...after W. left his book signing someone tried to egg his car. Funny.

So do I miss him? Not really

We had to fight that Sodom Husane guy. He was just like another Hitler. He had weapons of mass destruction. And I'll tell you pinko pansies something else: we were better off fightin' them over thar so we didn't have to fight 'em over hyar! Ol' Sodom was workin' hand and hand with ol' Ben Laden. They were like best buddies. Colon Powel proved that with his PowerPoint presentation. And a bunch of the dudes that blew up the Empire State Building was Iraqis. So what does that tell you?!

And this so called Great Recession wouldn't have been nearly as bad if we'd just done what always works: deregulate and cut taxes. If they'd let all the big banks and GM fail, by now, the unemployment rate would probably be down to 0 and everything would be just fine. Fuckin' socialists and commies screwed it all up. Deregulate. Cut taxes. That's all they had to do!

You forgot to raise taxes on the poor. The rich and corporations shouldn't pay tax, because it will make them less competitive and discourage them from working if we take their profit, but the poor are useless and so should be taxed heavily as a resource. There are millions of them after all.

I agree with some of what you said; you can't build asociety for people, people have to do it for themselves.
Look at Afghanistan BEFORE the Soviet Union invaded; women could go around WITHOUT a burkha.
But war encourages repression and ******** begets ********. By simply leaving a country alone, you will in time allow it to grow peacefull and moderate.
Now I understand that the presence of Bin-Laden in Pakistan was given as a reason for invasion, but it would have been smarter to just use covert ops to bribe a tribe to find him and bring him to justice. I know a bounty was offered, but I believe that was AFTER we were on their soil, which united the habitually warring Afghans against us. Had we not invaded, it would probably have been quite cheap (from our perspective) to bribe a tribe.
