Obama 'Absolutely' Still Supports Daschle

Are you better off than you were when Democrats took control of the House and Senate in 2007?

Facts about economy since Democrats took control of Congress in 2007. (FYI for all the Obama voters: House and Senate control spending and legislation. The president can only sign or veto their legislation)

1) Stock Market has crashed from 12,157 in November 2006 to 8,250 today.
2) The night of the Democratic landslide election of 2006, the net worth of the country was roughly $50 trillion. It is now at least $6 trillion lower.
3) The federal budget deficit has soared from $165 billion in fiscal year 2007 to $486 billion in 2008 and could reach $1 trillion in 2009. (Pelosi ran on fiscal responsibility and lowering the budget deficit). If that were not enough, the Democrats are trying as hard as they can to spend another 900 Billion in the name of "Porkulus -er, stimulus"
4) In 2008, the economy lost a net total of 2.9 million jobs. That marks the biggest annual loss in US history.
5) Unemployment when Republicans had control in 2007 was 4.6%. Unemployment since Democrat control for House and Senate is 7.6%
6) The Department of Labor reported in July 2007 that the economy created jobs for 46 consecutive months (almost 4 years straight!). America added 132,000 jobs in June 2007 and the economy added more than 8.2 million new jobs (August 2003 to July 2007).
7) Since Democrat control: Historic job losses. The jobs lost so far since the recession began in December 2007 are the most of any downturn in the post-war period. About half the losses occurred just in the past three months!
7)The Democrats in Congress have been calling the shots for the past two years. Look where that’s gotten us.
8) Remember Nancy Pelosi's pledge to run the most ethical congress ever? More corruption scandals involving Democrats since 2007 than all of Bush's presidency! 3 Tax cheats in Obama's cabinet and more scandals in his first month than most President's have in their entire first term. (Mostly simple "mistakes' and "poor judgment" in Obama's own words)
9) Massive government bailouts of Democrat leaders baking buddies and insurance companies resulting in financial windfalls for Democrat financial friends of "troubled" companies -Corporate CEOs and their investor buddies.
Remember how crucial it was to do? Out entire financial system was going to colapse unless we did something NOW. (How is it that were still alive and a) most of the money hasn't been spent yet and b) of what has, the money hasn't even gone to what they said it would)
10) Obama's broken how many of his "promises" already? No lobbyists in administration. Check. All bills to be open to debated on House and Senate floor for at least 5 days. Check.

I'm sure none of these facts matter to the Obama nation. Now we're going to see change all right. The Obama motto: We live in the greatest nation in history. Join with me as we try to change it. No, he didn't say it exactly, but it sure is "coming home to roost."

4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years Yea!

The Republician Party has become the party of myth, they will do everything to make sure President Obama fails. This is so obivious, the only people that agree with the Republicians are the Rush Limbauugh nuts. Take a good look who they need to speak and give them advice on stimlus Joe the Plumber. This party wants this country to stay in the past. They don't want change.

Anyone Recognize these Tidbits of American History...

When, in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to DISSOLVE THE POLITICAL BANDS which have connected them with another... and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...

OBAMA is an IDEALISTIC SOCIAL MARXIST... Show me where that's worked in the PAST? Somebody Please !

He wants to SILENCE all Dissenting opinions… Anybody heard of "The Fairness Doctrine"? He does not agree with or Support FREE SPEECH or the 2nd Amendment

The very idea of SOCIALISM & BIG BROTHER concepts of... Give me your money & I'll take care of all your needs... HAS NEVER WORKED!

Anybody remember STALIN or the USSR?

They did not subject themselves to their own IDEALISM... They didn't follow their own RULES... They lived in the LAP OF LUXURY while their people suffered terrible oppression & injustices...

Look around at his Circle of Influence & Appointments to HIGH OFFICES & the fact that he defends these CRIMINALS!

Obama was fathered by & idolized Heretics, Hypocrites, Racists, Perverts, & Communists

WANT PROOF???

2) Adult Mentor for 20 Years… Jeremiah Wright: a HYPOCRITICAL, RACIST, AMERICA HATER…
3) Obama’s Blueprint for Presidential Election was taken from Saul Alinsky … a SOCIALISTIC ANARCHIST & his book Rules for Radicals...

I could keep going but what's the point...

YOU IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA HAVE NO SENSE OF HISTORY & I'M AFRAID YOU HAVE DOOMED US TO REPEAT SOME OF THE WORSE PARTS OF HUMAN HISTORY ALL BECAUSE YOU WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING... YOU FELL FOR ALL HIS EMPTY PROMISES!!!

How do you feel now?

LOOK AT A CLEAR INDICATOR OF CONSUMER CONFIDENCE The Dow Jones has dropped nearly 3000 points since November 4th (about the time that it was all but fact that Obama would be our President) The Market was stabilized & hovered around 10,000 when it was actually considered a possibility that McCain might possibly win.

FOR THE RECORD I WAS NOT CRAZY ABOUT EITHER BUSH in his latter days or McCAIN but I supported both of them.

My last word is that I’m really Glad that my hope is built on NOTHING LESS THEN JESUS BLOOD & RIGHTEOUSNESS…

Obama said "Absolutely" the same way he said, "I would" when it came to talks with terrorists with no preconditions.

Saying it and knowing he shouldn't, but saying it anyway!

phooey!

Daschle just withdrew his nomination... NOT GOOD ENOUGH, buddy!!! Time for you to leave the Senate as well... RESIGN!!! Then get ready to go to JAIL!!!

Not only should Daschle be removed from consideration for the HHS position, he should be impeached from the Senate as well... South Dakota! Take a lesson from Illinois!!

Ethics violations by our elected representatives MUST be addressed immediately, and harshly. Throw the freakin' scum bag out.

He should also be damned glad this isn't still 1809 instead of 2009. If it were, he'd be dragged around back of the Capitol Building by his heals, where he'd be tarred, feathered, a bullet inserted unceremoniously into the back of his head, and then buried in a shallow grave out in the hog pen!!!

What is with these Democrats? They have no problem passing legislation which RAISES taxes; they have no problem COLLECTING taxes; they have no problem SPENDING tax dollars; but they sure seem to have a problem PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE!!

Set an example... THROW THE SCUM OUT!!!

Now, now, Allen. The President has his famous BlackBerry with which to handle the situation. I'm sure he's already used it to mass-communicate his condolences to all those suffering the effects of the recent weather...during the Super Bowl breaks, of course. As to the tax controversies surrounding his considered picks, perhaps it's time to revise the old adage: "Never trust anyone over $30k/year".

At least Bush flew over New Orleans. Obama did not even care to take a look at the suffering in Kentucky and other states. Guess he felt he could see it all from the newscasts. Of course, he would have had to leave the 78 degree White House and go where it was cold otherwise. So much for global warming eh Mr. President. Just like every other person in government do as I say not as I do. Obama's staff doesn't have to suffer in the cold, pay taxes, or give up their lobbying as long as it is to look after HIM!!!

What a fraud and crook he has turned out to be!!

It's hard to concentrate on Obama's good intentions when with Daschle lurking in the shadows.

Daschle, for the health of the country, go away!

First less clear up the lies about the storm victims. Every state involved in the Storm representatives have said on TV that President Obama WALKED THE EMERGENCY PAPERS THRU AND THAT FEMA HAS RESPONDED IN RECORD. THE ELECTRICITY GRID IS OLD THAT'S WHY THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO GET IT REPAIRED IN THE STIMULUS. REMEMBER NY BLACKOUT

NEXT:

Honesty is a hard thing for some to be. The Internal Revenue sends millions of Americans notices each following the filing of their taxes saying you compiled it incorrectly, thus you owe an additional amount. THis is not a tax cheat.

Dashel has lived his life so that all in Washington even Republicans that he's the most trustworthy guy they know and want to review the facts before taking a position.

However, we have you right wingers who without knowledge and are just waiting for a chance to pounce on every move the Administration makes, because you have nothing better to do.

You now have a new RNC CHAIRMAN, Michael Steele apparently the Republican Party felt they needed new direction and inclusion even though they are being still obstructionists. How's the new appointment working for you?

Since the latest poll indicates that the overwhelming majority of Republicans want Palin as the leader you have your work cut out for you.

Poll: Republicans Want Party To Be Like Palin; A New Rasmussen Poll Further Demonstrates that the GOP could be In For A Long Stretch In The Wilderness.
A new Rasmussen poll further

demonstrates that the GOP could be in for a long stretch in the wilderness: A majority of GOP voters now say that the party should be more like Sarah Palin.
The numbers: 55% of Republicans say the party should be like Palin, compared to 24% who say they should be like John McCain.

As I've previously noted, poll data like this could indicate that the Republican Party is getting ready to relive the classic cycle of ruling parties who get turned out of power in a landslide: With the party base itself shrunk down, the people who are still around are the most hard-line members, and are really the least fit people to fix the situation.

Good luck with that!

So, I get it.

You didn't vote for Obama. You'd like to overturn an election because the results you wanted didn't happen.

So, you have a lot of fun calling people names and being so righteously indignant. Oh...the "tax cheats" -- though that isn't anywhere near legally true... taxes`were paid with the required penalties and interest within the IRS statutes of [time] limitation.

You feel so superior.

Sorry... you aren't.

What in your life is better by posting all this negativity, by being judgmental and grossly distorting facts?

Nothing.

Be careful... the pendulum always swings back. And when you point your finger... look at it. Three point back at you.

We as Americans have lowered the bar on who we are willing to elect into office definitly not our best and brightest. We vote party lines and are driven by emotion and the MSM.
We shouldn't be surprised that the inept third rate hucksters we elect have us in a flat spin.
The only change we will ever see will be driven by us not the sock puppets.

President suggests we all turn our heat down to 72, me I live with 65 can't afford 72, then turns up the White House to 78.

Gives two of his cabinet nominees a pass on "forgetting or not aware" on their taxes without payment of penalties.

This President is proving to be a Do As I Say and Not As I Do...I am almost afraid to read the news tomorrow..What's going to be next???

I think I figured it out, President Obama ego makes it impossible to acknowledge "poor judgment". He appears to prefer to do 'wrong" than admit he made a mistake. I believe great leaders know they are human and there will be moments when they were not on target. i can deal with a President who goofs and owns up.

Darth gator said: "More BS from BO." Love it! Succinct summary of every sentence that comes from BO's mouth.

Welcome to the Carter years .

His bus has gone.
No more throwing people under his bus after he became President.

Angie -- Obama responded quickly?? really? People without heat and power for weeks, if this had happened under Bush's watch, they would be crucifying him right now... just like they did for Fema's slow respoinse in N.O. Take a good look at we have elected.. A communist as environmental CZAR, two tax cheats in cabinet positions, less than a month after he stated that he would not sign any bill with PORK, he endorses a 900 billion "stimulus" package that is 80% pork, will do nothing to create jobs and is primarily a payoff to the special interest groups that got him elected... How many jobs will 4 billion ot ACORN create? How many will 30 billion to the teacher's union create? 8 bi9llion motre to pet projects like the NEA, TV digital converter coupons, and carbon offset research,.. How many jobs will be created by increases in welfare checks and food stamps?.. Maybe we need those, but they are NOT STIMULUS ITEMS.. they will do nothing to fix this economy.. Bush allowed the national debt to increase 4.5 Trillion in 8 years - thats bad.. this congress and this president want to increase it by another 2 trillion in 8 weeks... can you read the writing on the wall or are you too young to remember the Carter years???

Nice move ABC....so much for open commentary on the "messiah" and his disciples!

"Why are we in this handbasket? "if I did that, I'd be in JAIL!"

THIS IS A LIE. If you responded with an oops and paid up taxes + interest and penalties as Daschle did, you would be treated exactly the same."

I'd generally agree with you that the no private citizen would be in jail at this point.

But whether a person gets charged with tax fraud depends on a determination if a "significant portion" of income was "fraudulently concealed". The circumstance around this extra $88K in income for '07 certainly seem suspicious, and it is hard to believe that someone like Daschle wouldn't have know that any benefit you receive is taxable. So I think its conceivable but unlikely that criminal charges could be brought in a case like this.

Usually the attempts at fraud are much more egregious (like cash payments or phony receipts) to draw charges. So while Daschle could be criminally charged, it would be unusual.
