Barry's bright ideas fail again.
Granted, Obama hasn't done anything to help the economy, per se, but I cannot say that he has hurt it either.

Like I said, I ignored those parts. I don't need to see anything past nose-deep. Too graphical.
It might not be so bad if all his stupid, liberal, socialist policies and decisions hadn't been implemented.
How many times does something have to fail before people realize it sucks?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.
And I also blame him for arming the cartels.... if I were a Mexican, I would be mighty pissed at him right about now...
well, that's 12 in 40 years. knowing that there are only 6 presidents since then, Barry is just getting his quota :D
Well, I blame Barry for this economic mess.
Odd. When a fireman fails to save a kid from the fire, do you blame the fireman or the arsonist?

Barry's bright idea? I find your lack of objectivity disturbing.
Not trying to be rude or anything, but could you supply a link to a credible source rather than Fox?
... ok, I confess. That rewriting AP articles is actually something OneNewsNow or WorldNetDaily (one of the two) does, haven't heard about Fox doing it. But they're guilty of all the rest.

Blame the kid. Why the

Damn straight!

It isn't about "the joke" (if you want to call it that), it's about what he is joking about. And he is a liar of the highest caliber.

Yes, I read the article. He made an insensitive joke and republicans jumped on it. Same thing would have happened if it had been Bush making the joke. democrats would have jumped on it. It isn't news. It'll be news when Obama makes a joke and republicans laugh.

This is what I was talking about before. Ignore the bias. Look at the news. Obama making a joke like this says more about Obama than it does about who reported it. The last part really doesn't matter. If they weren't there to report it, he still would have said it.
He shows his true colors each and every day. It doesn't matter if he's a Dem or Rep and who his opposition is.
When the Palin/Revere story was posted, people jumped all over Palin. This story is posted, you jump on the republicans that wrote it. Do you see the inconsistency with this?
Hint: Palin deserved criticism. Obama deserves criticism.

I've never mentioned anything about who reported it or wrote it. You would benefit from re-reading what I wrote. The entire story is about Obama saying a joke and republicans not liking the joke. It could have been reported by the Huffington Post or any other "left-wing" media and it would still be a non-story. Politicians, regardless of political affiliation, will act the same way. Seriously, being surprised that a politician is full of crap is pretty ridiculous. Besides, I never said that the person who wrote the story was biased (in this case). If you re-read what I posted previously, you would have noticed I said the same thing would have happened if Bush had made a similar comment.
All the tertiary stuff is still irrelevant to me. It's white noise. Republicans/Democrats are all the same. I read that story and all I see is Obama's insensitivity towards the very same people he promised to help, let alone America in general.
Barry made all sorts of outrageous promises and NONE of them have bore any kind of fruit. And he admits as such in his insensitive mocking of the economy.
I guess he simply thinks it's a big joke with high unemployment (which he promised wouldn't go over 8% if we passed his LARGE stimulus package, and then it promptly goes up to 10%...), and then we had to pass the healthcare bill... SO WE COULD FIND OUT WHAT'S IN IT!?!!? Cash for clunkers simply made used cars more expensive. And did I mention how much money (our taxes) he has spent (wasted)?
Nothing this clown does is any good, or has done any good. And he is just working himself to death!*sarcastic*(www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barac...)
He is a failure and a joke.
America will begin to recover once that inept buffon leaves office.
Meh. I've been off my game all day today... I overstepped. My apologies.

Depends upon how you define bareing fruit. There have been arguements back and forth about how bad things would be without Obama's economic policies. What I find amazing is that conservatives criticize him for enacting the bailouts those same conservatives wanted.
Also, PolitiFact, rates 135 out of 508 campaign promises kept, 40 comprimised, 70 stalled, 2 unrated, 219 "in he works", and 42 broken. That's over a third kept or comprimised on. (Contrast with the smaller GOP Pledge to America, which made 57 promises and has completed or comprimised on 6, just over 10.5%.)

(Contrast with the smaller GOP Pledge to America, which made 57 promises and has completed or comprimised on 6, just over 10.5%.)
Yep, both sides are inept as hell. 26.5% isn't anything to strive for and the 8% broken promises is pretty significant.
On a side note, 40 of the GOP's 57 promises have not even been rated by PolitiFact yet, so that 10.5% is a bit disingenous when over 70% haven't even been rated. I still don't put any faith in them, regardless.

Not really. I'm looking through the unrated stuff and I haven't seen anything that better fits as kept/broken/in the works or stalled. Just no action at all. There might be some stuff that's been going on that I'm not aware of, but I'm confident that for most of these it's just that they haven't done anything about it yet, not even propose legislation to that end.

Not Yet Rated could be skewed to mean just about anything you want it to be. I will only take it at face value, it has not yet been rated. Clicking on the More link of each promise only displays the description, nothing more, not even a single note hinting at what you suggest. So I can only make an assessment based on what is presented, not speculation.

Indeed. We could just as easily say that 70% of the GOP's Pledge is just gathering dust.

You can say whatever you want. That's what speculation is all about. To note, the GOP promises were made in 2010, so there is a year and half of actionable time as opposed to Obama promises from 2008.
I will repeat, I don't put any faith in either side and I am not disagreeing. I'm just going by the source that you provided.
So I can only make an assessment based on what is presented, not speculation.
So take a look at the promises listed and make an assessment based on what is presented, not your own speculation of what "not yet rated" means. I think you'll come to the same conclusion I did, that in this case "not yet rated" means there's no action to rate.
Barry made all sorts of outrageous promises and NONE of them have bore any kind of fruit.
Ohmigawd! It's almost like... like... he's a politician.
Anyway... maybe we'll see the wonder-fix that Obama is holding out on giving America because he is an ebil socialist when Palin becomes the next president and fixed every wrong in the world in the first month of her term. You know, like Bush did, because he was a right-wing convervist and not an ebil-socialist.
Or, you know, maybe his job is harder then it seems and people are actually trying their hardest to solve an extremely complicated problem. But probably not. Because they're ebil sociaslists who per definition can only much things up.
If anything, the 'joke' should serve as a reminder about how we're 'them' to those we elect and that it's not a case of 'we'. Those elected to serve place themselves above the rest of us. They live in a different world. So, how suited are any of 'em to do what we ask them to? Obama can't relate to those he is supposedly trying to help. That's what the 'joke' tells me. The thing to remember, though, is that this isn't some special case. He's no different than the rest. That's all it means. Oh yeah, and we're totally boned. There'll be a 'North American Spring' at some point in the future. There has to be. What we're doing is destined to fail spectacularly. Meh, at least I'm armed. ;)

And how much like bandits did Haliburton make out during Bush/Cheney? And do you really think they were the only company that was was "rewarded" by those two? I mean, seriously, did you think this was anything new? Or unique to the Obama administration? I'll bet dollars to doornails that this has been common practice in the US since at least the early 1800's. And nepotism and other quid pro quo dealings have gone on since pretty much the dawn of civilization.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that if you think this is somehow unique to this administration than you are painfully naive.
But he is diffferent from Bush. No?
Different, sure. But if I give you a rotten red apple and a rotten green apple to choose from, you're still left with the same result, no?
Rotten red apples make good apple sauce.
Grr!
But ... but Obama was elected after running a campaign telling us how different he was. Doesn't anyone remember that? I mean, most of us knew he wasn't but plenty thought he was. Adds some sting, I imagine (not to RH, of course). Doesn't make him worse or anything, but ... hell, I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore. Need sleep.
Every politician gives yo that line. They are all different... except McCain. He admitted he was the same garbage and was pimp slapped in the election.
I thought his line was that he and Palin were "mavericks".
You have a point. I guess people didn't think an unbranded cow was going to make a very impressive leader.
