Worker productivity is up 9.5% (annualized), yet labor expenditures have decreased by 5.2%. This government is impeding the growth of businesses at a crucial time during this recession. Why aren’t GOP leaders railing about THAT?

The truth is if you put all dumb people in one room, eventually, even the dumbest person will seek out whom is the least dumbest person in the room, and call that person a real genius by the virtue of the fact he’s not the dumbest person in the room. So it is with liberals and Obama.

But the problem is that there are people outside of that room, and in no way, can they ever consider that least dumbest person a genius. Liberals often accused Bush of groupthink, but it is what they are practicing in the person of Obama and his yes men.

Despite all of this, I think Obama can be rightfully said to be a real political genius — perhaps he is the One we’ve been waiting forever to lead the Democratic Party to its biggest defeat in years to come. Ha, ha, ha…

not sure about “hope” (other than, I sure hope it ENDS)

but it certainly is “change”

as far as “genius” … all that comes to mind is the Coyote on the train tracks …. with the train barreling down on him unawares …

“‘Wile E. Coyote, SUUU-PER GENIUS’ - I like the way it rolls out.”

BOOOOM!!

He just cannot help it…..

This is how he was raised and he surrounds himself with people even more left than himself.

How this country expects this Marxist Whitehouse to “create” jobs is just about the strangest thing I have ever seen…..

This MESSAGE must get out:

THE ECONOMY WILL ONLY HAVE A CHANCE TO TURNAROUND AFTER OBAMA IS DEFEATED AND IS GONE, GONE, GONE……

NO REAL RECOVERY WILL TAKE PLACE WHILE THE SOCIALISTS ARE IN CHARGE.

Danno, I don’t think you’re really getting into the spirit of this “never let a good crisis go to waste” theme.

Come to think of it, neither am I.

It’s just wacky in the rest of the world.

Sometimes I think what’s wrong with America isn’t Left or Right or Up or Down or any political party, but Washington DC.

the left craves to act out it’s aggression and hate through government the picture is not complete.

Of course they’re stupid, how does Rahm Emanuel, brilliant strategist, look right about now? Or that horse’s ass Obama prattling on at the Indian conference before getting around to the massacre.

But to the crazies of the left government has evolved into a means by which they act out the inner turmoil and bitterness that roils their minds.

Well, I think the best recent example of genius has to be a President announcing that he has created 650,000 jobs…..only six days before his own Labor Department announces that the economy is continuing to hemorrhage jobs.

Another 190,000 jobs lost in October, and the rate soars to 10.2%.

I mean, that’s quite a disconnect; we’re not just talking about rounding errors here. More and more, this President just makes things up and creates his own alternate reality. When Biden does it, I just chalk it up to senility. For now, we’ll just call it the bipolar administration. And ask the question: Barack, just where are all these jobs you created?

And they blew getting the Olympics for the US in Chicago.

is trying to determine if he knows he is lying or if he is just that stupid.

Now, it is easy to see that Pelosi and Reid are just plain bat s**t nuts. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Obama maybe just as nuts compounded by pathological narcissism.

It’s like “Dude, how can you get up and banter your way into a discussion of a mass killing? Are you an idiot and your puppeteers idiots? Is there no adult at the White House?”

so it only looks like unemployment is going up. It ain’t worth it to me to go look at the actual numbers, not that I trust BLS a lot anyway.

in the Rose Garden:

“History tells us that job growth always lags behind economic growth, which is why we have to continue to pursue measures that will create new jobs. And I can promise you that I won’t let up until the Americans who want to find work, can find work, and until all Americans can earn enough to support their families and keep their businesses open,” Obama said.

And he really thinks people believe this hooey. Boy, is that paragraph open for disection or what? I agree with other posters in that I can’t figure out if the O group is really, really stupid or ….

Yeah, they’re really, really stupid. My bad.

I agree with Perrin, but there is a sin of omission. Multi-national corporations are also responsible for our declining economy. Capitalism doesn’t have to mean “greed.” at the expense of everything else. Let’s talk about outsourcing capital and jobs, insourcing cheap labor, government bailouts, trade deficits, phony free trade, etc. The middle class, well-salaried, blue-collar employee is being wiped out. Everybody cannot be lawyers, stock brokers, bankers, military officers, computer engineers, and government bureaucrats. When things get worse for the lower socio-economic classes, expect a growth in Fabian socialism and national debt. The Right Wingers keep forgetting that the biggest thing in politics is to win. You cannot win if you become slaves to “talking points” propagated by Wall Steet and the neocons.

This is Job Security for the Erosionist Lieberal Party.

Just think about it:
Who will be the “experts” that will interpet this mounstrosity to “the masses”?
We will need 1000’s upon 1000’s of arbitrators and interpetrers who will not mend a wound or heal a soul. They will stay on for LIFE because no one else will undertsand what was “shovelled: together in the MedicalManure. Who will they be? The “experts” that wrote the bill. WHo is that? Mostly all Erosionist Lieberals that we will NEVER be able to get rid of without Picthforks and Torches.

KILL THE BILL before it KILLS ALL

We need a private “option” to keep the public monopoly of education honest. Taxpayers should have the option to obtain vouchers for the amount they pay in school taxes and purchase private schooling of their choice for their children.
This would keep the school districts “honest”, drive down costs and improve education across the board, Access to “quality” education is unavailable to most middle class and poor Americans because the costs of private schooling continue to escalate and they cannot afford to pay high taxes for a service that they then have to purchase in the private market if their children are to have a chance for an education.
The teacher unions have a racketeering type hold on the market and anti trust laws should protect the public from the “greedy” unions and administrators. I thought the youth had a “right” to education and it is also a “social justice” issue which unfairly targets minorities and the poor……

is inflating, not deflating. It’s just still happening slowly.

The reason the Obamacrats think they can get away with their take over of health care (and various) other social marketplaces is because their conservative opponents don’t even know the name of the game is ’social marketplace’.

Conservatives think “small government” is the answer. WRONG — a small government is the result of defining and implementing various individually driven social marketplaces that provide reasonably stable means to deliver goods and services to everyone, including those of limited means.

Such systems should have checks and balances against excessive political and mobocracy meddling — aka, they should be self sustaining social marketplaces as much as possible.

A small government message without an aggressive front line message supporting dynamic individually driven social marketplaces is a non-starter outside of conservative circles. Conservatives who get this message will do fine. Those who don’t are destined to remain confused as to why no one else wants to follow their small government lead.
