Obama & Biden React to Job Loss News

HH writes, "Sounds like SPEND SPEND SPEND, lets create a new job, new salary at taxpayers expense. Typical democrat, bigger and bigger goverment."
==================================
You're right HH. It's not like our roads, bridges, schools need repair. Like you I'd rather we toss those billions into a fruitless war and throw in a couple of American lives to make it special.

HH writes, "What happened to cutting goverment waste??? oh sorry, it was McCain that promised to cut the pork not "the chosen one" with Zero experience."
==================================
You're right again HH. It is a complete waste to build and repair America's infrastructure and schools. Granted, McCain used the term "pork" and never really DEFINED it but what the heck...That doesn't matter because the Republican credo has always been spend less, small government. Would you mind showing everyone where the Republicans actually did that over the last 8 years? Like everyone else, I'm more than willing to give you a moment while you search for that.

HH writes, "He promises higher taxes on capital gains (home sales & investments that are already in the tank), inheritance tax and business taxes that will put more people out of work."
====================================
You're starting to sound like a scratched record.

I don't know -what business does look to the future when it makes financial plans? It certainly wasn't the banking industry or the auto-makers. Do you think we care what they think? We're going to keep an eye on these clowns now that we have to bail them out, and if you think that emulates Lenin the joke is on you.

Bernstein is a protege of Reich and a liberal economist (ie socialist pig), for those of you who missed the inference.

Right, Biden now appoints a total socialist (Reich of the clinton years cant even get a job in a decent university to this day) as his economic advisor. How the government can create jobs? It's easy, you create them, over regulate and stifle private initiative (like the auto makers), and then subsidize more of the government jobs because the real economy cant or will not produce new private sector jobs. It's called the New Deal. So we shouldn't be surprised when Hussein and bimbo Biden cheer the news of a recession and claim it's a depression. Dangerous

Right, how silly of me. What business is going to look towards the future when they make financial plans.

Another funny one! Obama and the Democratic platform caused the job losses. The laughs just never stop at Republican Romper Room.

They must be looking at each other and saying "gee, who would have thought having the most anti-business and anti-profit platform since Lenin would have caused job losses?"

maybe Obama is planning his policies and working out the details so when he actually is president, he can explain it in greater depth... unlike the current occupant of the White House
who is about as removed and clueless a president that America has ever had.

Saying Obama 'is Bush' is ludicrous.. as Obama not only can speak coherent english, but he can articulate his policies in depth and not couch everything in a fake 'american mythology' like Bush does.

we can only hope that the many crimes of Bush & Co. will be exposed and eventually brought to trial.

I can understand how 'Concerned' & 'Mike'
don't want to give Obama a chance to do anything,... after Bush & Cheney,.. their disillusionment with Republican government and economics would give anyone pause.

is now president that is.....

Even though the Republicans have been mostly booted out of Washington we can still count on their zealots for comic relief. Obama is Bush now? What a joke! -And of course we can blame the financial mess on Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, that's standard Republican comedy. Without funny Republicans in office to laugh at we're going to need you guys to keep us entertained.

haha. I agree wholeheartedly. How Rush and Hannity and all the other right wingnuts talk I sometimes thing I slept throught the inaguaration and obama is not president.

Without the Republicans spouting their lunacy, I would stop believing that their ARE aliens among us. Were is Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones when you need them.

Some of the Clinton "geniuses" also planted the seeds for the "2nd Dpression" as you call it.

You still have Barney Frank who refuses to admit his part in all this mess, now saying he disagrees with Obama on working in a bi-partisan way.

Go to any Target, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, you will see over 90% items made in China. It is time for us to produce stuff rather than outsourcing all those related jobs. How, without raising tariffs would be the question....

Bush/Cheney have destroyed this country beyond repair.

geecee,

Obviously things are not good right now, but they have been bad before and not all that long ago.

President Carter left office with unemployment over 7% interest rates at 20% and inflation at 13%. Strange, no one then was whining about having Jimmy pack up & leave the White House before Jan 20.

Bridget, I couldn't agree more. We need more moderate thinking at all levels in the government. I believe it's the only way the country will make a significant change; if we go away from mainstream politics and the political rhetoric from both sides of the aisle.

"Obama is going to have his hands full trying to control Frank, Pelosi, and Reid."

Yup. That's why he's fortunate that his party failed to get a filibuster proof Senate. Moderates from both parties should have more influence now.

It is a time for Republicans and Democrats to cooperate. The Second Great Depression started 18 months ago. This is a time for action, not for allocating blame. It makes no difference whether the seeds of financial failure were rooted in the Clinton years, or the last 7 years. We should be worring about the NEXT 7 or 8 years.

Please!? - How do you know what will happen to the coal industry? Both Obama and Biden are for clean coal and if you went to their website it will be explained to you if you care to read up on it. And Concerned in OH - are you really concerned or just still angry that your candidate didn't win?! Here are the facts - Bush' economic policies tanked, Obama recruited some of Clinton's economic team, who in their day helped the country collect a genuine surplus, to help us turn our economy around again. In no way shape or form does it resemble Bush.

Obama looks to be Clinton 2.0 and that is not good, and not what Obama supporters worked for. Clintons economic policy was not allot different than Bush1 shipping jobs over seas and corporate deregulation Clintons big economic success was the dot com bubble oh boy! By the way what happened to that sock puppet?
