I know I know facts have a liberal bias.

say huh?


This from a person who starts a thread titled 'Third World Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama'. You really aren't concerned at all with facts and reason. To post something like this suggests you have a problem with making an argument on the basis of facts without resulting to fear, intolerance and oh so subtle race baiting.

not at all, dear fellow

the glaring specifics of the Obama Administration all strike me as third world

everything from the aesthetics and modality of the portion of the electorate that elected him, his background, his sensibilities, his policies, and the end result of driving the American republic closer to third world status

much as the glaring specifics of the Bush Administration compel the designation of The Petroleum Presidency

but, back to the original question -- can you submit an economic argument of your own construction?

(the reason I ask, is that the posts you have made seem to suggest otherwise)

48 thousand jobs were added due to the census. that leaves more than 100 thousand jobs added, mostly in manufacturing. This is the first overall gain in jobs since March 2007. yes, it is a turnaround. No , it isnt fuzzy math. There are more jobs available now than there have been in some time. This recovery will take time as Bush and the GOP did such a great job fucking this economy up so badly with failed corporate, Ayn Rand - based economic falsehoods. Fortunately, the direction has changed and we are on the road to recovery. Trinity and Sargon, go read anything by Robert Reich. You might learn something about economic reality.

Stand-by for the biggest load of crap this Easter Sunday.:rolleyes: If it decides to answer.

Huum. I agree with you. The economic damage of conservative ideology will take years to undo unless the amnesiac electorate believes the propaganda and votes the plutocrats/theocrats/xenophobes/science deniers back in office. Trinity and I share nothing in common except I do suppose we both breath oxygen. Though I do believe he huffs on occasion.

I guess according to mr-closeted-gay-but-openly-racist, being a college graduate implies that you're 'ghetto'?

Problem there is, college grads voted for Obama. McCain won among those who were dropouts or who have just a high school diploma.

You know I like that. Thanks for putting it all together in such a refreshing way. The kind of self loathing openly intolerant, dripping with spittle and anger and hate person the Republican Party counts on in the voting booth.

It's become glaringly obvious with Obama's election.

^Compared to white supremacists and hillbillies, yes they most certainly are.

What's your point, coward?

first of all, there were some who rationally examined his proffered policy prescriptions

the larger impression one comes away with, however, is an exuberant crowd seizing upon a messiah figure who will sweep in and solve every problem

best shorthand description I'm aware of is:

Analyzing crowd psychology is much simpler than an individual analysis. Scientific researches show that common behaviors in groups are much alike and are the most basic survival needs. First come the basic existence needs, and than all other needs. For example, President Clinton's administration needed a boost in the economy back in the nineties. For that, the administration gave a green light to a several tax relief measures and eased lending rules, which unleashed the real-estate bubble and the subprime fiction. President Clinton’s administration ended with a surplus that led to several future tax deductions. This bubble exploded in President Bush’s administration, and along with a costly war led to a deep budget deficit and deteriorating economy. The past two Presidents have made mistakes that will change the face of history in the economy and its perceptions. At that time, US citizens and from all over the world suffered from a low morale, a consequence of very bad economy conditions and worst to come. All those events led the crowds in United States and all over the world to their deepest anxiety concerning the unknown dark future.
On these grounds, President Barack Obama's campaign strategy was to use the basic existential needs of the common people. Accompanied by impressive rhetorical abilities, and that the mind tends to an idealization of reality they built a mutual dream for better future, although vague future. President Barack Obama used these existential needs for his campaign strategy. In fact, the campaign was so successful that people from all over the world looked up to him as the ultimate savior. In every country he visited all over the world, hundreds of thousands of people came to hear his orations. The general feeling was almost religious. With slogans like "Yes We Can", President Barack Obama managed to sweep away the crowds into action and vote for him.

Crowd Behavior

in a previous post I cited:
Obama and the Politics of Crowds

The masses greeting the candidate on the trail are a sign of great unease.

Obama and the Politics of Crowds - WSJ.com

in that article, the author cites Crowds and Power (1960)

in that book, the crowd dynamic is more fully explored. among the aspects described is the surge to the goal of the crowd, and the abandonment of distinctions and caution.

it also describes the "besieged" mentality, and the array of defensive emotions and actions, that are reflected in the intolerance displayed by the Obama crowd to opposing propositions -- inter alia, the Obama Truth Squads, ready and willing to stifle any and all speech that would reveal the Emperor has no clothes

by the aesthetics, I mean the affective component observed

the crowds were in a frenzy to show their disapproval and hate of the previous administration, and imputed to the other candidate the same positions, investing that party and candidate with all responsibility for their complaints

the election of Obama was the overturning of the previous regime

in fact, nothing really changed to any significant degree, because the structures each has to work within are still there, and, of course, were foreseeably there

still, Obama would wave his magic wand, and change everything

more reminiscent, indeed, of a third world polity

:biggrin1: for all you naysayers, i will say this: I TOLD YOU SO. it will be many months before we reach prosperous job growth levels, but the BUSH recession is finally ending.

Most of the jobs created were in the manufacturing sector. And yes, the census created decent jobs until the end of the year. (The constitution of the US requires us to do the census every ten years, uninformed right wing nutcakes.)

Obama haters, go ahead and attack. Facts are stubborn things, and you can no longer deny that the economy is turning upward, thanks largely to the OBAMA economic policies.

Hasn't all US manufacturing been outsourced to China etc. by greedy managers?

Although the question has been posed before, it's never been fully answered.....what is a "real American"?
What are the qualifications? :confused:

I just saw a homeless person buy a plate of food at Chipotle and he also had to pay taxes on it. I'll be sure to let him know that an imbecile going to a Tea Party doesn't think that he's paying his way. :rolleyes:
