So entering office at the peek of the worst recession in modern history had absolutely NOTHING to do with creating this situation, eh?

If Obama had gotten the spending program that he wanted, the one that would have used virtually ALL the stimulation money for infrastructure jobs and if Republican governors had not gone on a wholesale rampage of cutting state supported jobs, like teachers, police officers, fireman, etc, and if the Right hadn't insisted on allocating more than HALF the stimulation money for tax breaks for big business and the rich based on this myth that it would eventually 'tinkle-down' to the poor and middle-class, perhaps we wouldn't have as many people on food stamps or living in poverty today. And how about raising the minimum wage, which was last increased by congress in 2007? Oh and let's not forget that Obama also had to pay off all those 'credit card' charges that Cheney/Bush rang-up while they were fighting their illegal wars in the Middle-East. Don't you think that it would have been easier around here is we had not been burdened by all of the off-the-books crap that went one during the past administration, back when Republican Congressional leaders claimed that "deficits didn't matter"?

Well...

Ya know,
Somehow, I just knew reading an OCU post was going
to be a waste of time.

Obonzo has presided over a humungous increase in the
number of folks on food stamps, welfare, etc. etc.

Obonzo also wants to make energy more expensive to
'make U.S. use less of it' . . .

Meanwhile, China is busy building new coal fired power
plants and making LOTS of cheap energy and OUR
manufacturing jobs are all going to China.

Captain Nemo is correct that shiz-canning obonzo would be a good first step in trying to resurrect out economy.
