“It is another sign Obama’s re-election will hinge almost exclusively the economy.”

If Obama re-election is dependent upon the USA economy improving by Nov. 2012, Obama and Michelle need to start packing because they will be getting kick out of the WH.

None of OBAMA GOP ideas will fix the USA economy.

It is another sign Obama’s re-election will hinge almost exclusively the economy.

which means he will serve one term, like Jimmy Carter.

What about the eternal wars we have as a factor? Seems to me there is a bit of fatigue there as well, let alone the horrendous costs of all sorts, tragically.

Briefly OT – Via the AP:

WikiLeaks grand jury witness refuses to testify

…David House, a founding member of the Bradley Manning Support Network, said he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination after being subpoenaed to the federal courthouse in Alexandria. Prosecutors have convened a grand jury there to investigate the WikiLeaks disclosures.

House told reporters after his appearance that nearly all the questions posed by prosecutors centered on Bradley Manning, who is being held at Fort Leavenworth while military authorities conduct their own investigation into whether he illegally leaked sensitive documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. House said he was not asked any questions about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange…

Nothing a new war can’t fix.

Hope and Change Same Old Same Old 2012

It’s the economy stupid!!!! got it guys? It has always been so and yet the guys keep dickin around in austerity, spending cuts. Shit get mad and start a fight. What have you got to lose? Tell the thugs to go fly a kite and if they want to hold the American people hostage, have at it.

Beltway media goon-clown reporter to President Perry, ca. 2012.

“Mr President, tell us about the rapture”.

Sorry, Jon. I don’t want this prick re-elected.
He completely disregarded his promises and his hopeful rhetoric and trashed his base when he was cognizant that he’d need our support for reelection.
Imagine how accommodating to us he’ll be if he has no reason to be.

Fuck him AND the Democratic leadership.

Tell us about some alternatives….where is an anti-war candidate?

To tell the truth, right now I don’t care but it need not be. If I were O, I would start a serious fight and I would not pull my punches. But alas, O is too bi partisan for that. Yeah he will be Jimmy Carter the 2d.

The rapture, now that’s what I’m talkin bout.Go Pres Perry, you the main profit.

BHO…said in recent interview,one term may be enuf for his frail self

One term IS enough — for us.

imo,he does not have the right stuff,and step aside for somebody with a REAL fire in the belly to turn around the TITANIC

What did he really say? I surely missed that….

i would like to see a Feingold presidency

great question

Obama’s Osama Bump is Over

good

I want him out of office so we can start defending against the corporate agenda he is so fond

worse

then

bush

“Are You In?™” (that incredibly lame slogan is on the campaign splash page)

the powers aren’t going to let obama lose, they get more done when the corporatist in the administraion is eleceted as a democrat then when he’s elected as an r

they want him back

Wow, maybe he means it; Ecahn has said for a long time she thinks he’s lost interest/bored, not happy, I think is how she says it.

i said it last year when Michele was in Paris telling Sarcozys wife she hated being first lady

why the all want the status quo

Pelosi’s wealth grows by 62 percent
By Kevin Bogardus – 06/15/11 12:46 PM ET
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

He’s unhappy because he knows that millions who voted for him feel that he has betrayed them. But he’s too arrogant not to want, no crave, a second term.

what if he quits
a girl can dream

I’ve lost interest and I’m bored, too – with Obama. I do however resent the fact that he says he will be content with one term. He is apparently perfectly happy to turn the country over to the looney right. He’s a bad prez but I don’t think he’s looney. Small consolation.

Sorry, but that’s complete and utter bullshit on her part. She fucking loves it. Who wouldn’t?

he will be more phlegmatic imo

If the economy remains weak and unemployment in fact rises the electorate may well turn against Obama. To think they would then vote for a Republican is an indication that the electorate has an unconscious collective death wish. The most naive and ill-educated electorate of any “advanced” industrialized nation and the fact there are no real alternatives spells disaster.

The Osama episode would have given a labelled Rethug Pres about 10 points. Rethug Lite Obama good for five. The so-called Liberal Media dropped the story pretty fast.

WERE IT a Rethug, there would have been many more docudramas and biopics to give it more gas. Picture a Cock-strutting McCain, Dubya, Mitt or Bachmann.

you hit on what really pissed me off
its like chimpster
presidentin is hard worrrrrrrrrrrrk

Ron Paul…? (ducking…)

it is in Madame Sarcozys autobiography

Rethug Lite Obama good for five.

LOL

Oh, I believe she said it. She’s just full of shit.

Peter DeFazio of Oregon. He’s a progressive’s progressive. I’d would settle for a Feingold/DeFazio ticket, however. They’ll kick ass and take names.

so very true
the dipshit media actually wanted to give chimpster credit

she is full of shit,and another disapointment to me

If the Dimocrats want to save what’s left of the party they better think about a primary for the fraud and Trojan Horse now in the WH.

lolz

The Filipino Channel, another Right-Wing-Media Property, gave big props to the Republicans in general and featured the Bachmann last night with her GUARANTEE that O will be a one-term President.

oh sweet jeeebus on a cupcake YES!
our poor country is smartin

He knows he has a walnut paneled corner office waiting for him on Wall Street. The status quo has been very, very good to Barry.

Greek parliament is surrounded right now
MSM????cant hear ya

Bachmann pulled a Joe Namath.

Of course, all this failure falls on Obama himself for modelling himself after Hoover and not FDR.

Here comes another Hoover style whack at Social Security with Obama’s 2 point cut on Employer side contributions.

The PTB want the US gutted with any pickings left to corrupt oligarchs to pick the bones like Mexico.

Obama has complied in every way.

Would like to see the day when the corporate headquarters of the MSM are surrounded with citizens with pitchforks, torches and tar and feathers. The most corrupt and complicit media since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I also want to send my garbage to the WH since they want to allow the FBI to go through it, I’d like to save them the trouble and have it delivered.

*heh* Walk like an Greek Egyptian…! ;-)

works for me,they sell confusion

i love it

Too many jobless morans cling to the lies of Rove – Too much Obama leftist gubmint regulation is stifling the economy.

There is no evidence of excessive – or any increase, for that matter – in gubmint regulation.

Obama has let it rip full bore. Yet no jobs from the pirate sector. Obama has outsourced like a rethug and Clinton too. Still, no jobs.

Not rubbish…! Mail him a comfortable pair of ‘loafers’…! Sorta like Shrub’s little surprise in Baghdad…!

Hoarding, Not Hiring – Corporations Stockpile Mountain of Cash

Share149 CommentsPrintSingle PageText Size- / +By RICH BLAKE and DALIA FAHMY
April 1, 2010
Hopes are running high that Friday’s jobs data will bring happy news.

Economists predict the Labor Department will announce that 190,000 jobs were added in March, according to a Reuters poll. If true, it would be only the second monthly payroll gain since the recession began in 2007. The forecast is especially optimistic, considering that ADP Employer Services reported Wednesday that U.S. companies had slashed a surprisingly high 23,000 positions in March.

From the BBC
“Police estimated the size of the crowd at between 20,000 and 30,000, while local media reports put the number higher.

Correspondents said those who turned out represented a broad cross-section of society. “Thieves, traitors!” some shouted. “Where did the money go?”"

let’s hope he’s had enough

he’s staked his claim with the uber class, with any luck he will move on

MACYS CEO…pay 15,000,000.00 per year

15 billion?? hard to believe but if true…..dastardly just dastardly!! even 15 million is way too much!! for pushing paper or maybe telling some flunkies to push paper??

sorry corrected it
but stores have record profits too,,,nuttin fer the slaves

Not quite what I had in mind….

Hey all them zeros can get ya loopy ya know.. ☺ ☺

Didn’t think so, M’dear…! ;-)

Perry responds by saying Jesus told him to cut taxes for the rich! The poor will go to heaven so don’t worry about them!

All Presidential elections are referendums on the economy. I can’t think of one that wasn’t. In 2004 enough people were punch drunk with the overinflated price of their homes to ignore the fact that it was a bubble and that the nation was being run by a fuckwit.

1968 would be the exception, I just realized.

Food for thought…

Origin of Democracy…

Middle French democratie, from Late Latin democratia, from Greek dēmokratia, from dēmos + -kratia… …First Known Use: 1576…

Seriously????? Then for god’s sake, don’t run. Give it up now and give some real progressives time to form campaigns.

The next president should be that clown Joe Biden. By that I mean that Barack Bush (sic) should be impeached and removed from office for defying both the constitution and the War Powers Act by insisting he doesn’t need congressional approval for his military actions against Libya.

“Days, not weeks…” I knew that was a lie the moment he uttered it.

It doesn’t matter. The Democratic Party will be blamed for the economy. That’s the way it always works. The party of the president gets the blame.

Oh well. Okay. It’s been a nice life I guess. Time to jump off a bridge.

Seriously, what a shocking statement for a sitting president to make. Is he really signaling that he might not run? He’s not someone who speaks off the cuff. He focus-groups everything in his head before he says it.

Is that code for he’s thinking of dropping out of the race if he can’t win?

‘Cause you are so smart….Thanks

as unemployment is around 9 percent.

The U-6 is over 15% and shadow stats is around 22%, if we’re counting.

Oh no, please not just one term!

How about a friendly campaign slogan contest.
I’ve got one: “It could be worse”

Perhaps the Osama bump was so short-lived because the public is dubious (as am I) that Bin Laden was really killed.

Congressman Weiner must have more than one pair of shoes. He should give a pair to this President.

Absolutely

what would happen, if we had a election and nobody voted……

I would vote for Satan over Obama. If we are gonna let a relative handfull of people destroy the entire nation then speed up the process so we can get to the healing. Obama is horrible, is there really a scarier/worse option? I don’t know that it really matters in our banana republic.

If he doesn’t want the job, he should announce he’s not running in 2012. ASAP. Like RIGHT NOW. Is he going to do a half-assed job of running and just let a Repub get in? Oh, he is a stealth Repub, isn’t he….

It was clear NO R was going to be election for president in 2008; to Wall Street, he was the next best thing to a Republican.

Hell, maybe to real Repub strategists he was the next best thing to a Republican. Maybe that’s why Bush said he could have voted for Obama….
