100 Days: The Obama Presidency

Accountability William. This mess is not Obama's fault. Yet. There will be plenty of time for him to mess up. This mess, right now, is your fault.

Can you tell me exactly what CONSERVATIVES did to get us in this mess? I'm a bit puzzled about that one! I keep hearing you pinhead liberal koolaid drinkers, spewing this utter bullshit in almost every thread you post, but I haven't seen the case made. Is this supposed to be some kind of "guilt by association" thing, where... we are in a financial crisis, it happened on a republican's watch, therefore, it is the sole fault of republicans? That seems to be what you are saying out of one side of your mouth, but out of the other, you want to give Obama a pass and say this isn't HIS fault. Excuse the fuck outta me, but Obama WAS in the Senate before he ran for president, and the Senate DID vote on easing FM&FM restrictions on low-income families, it was a Democrat initiative, and supported by most every Democrat across the board, as well as some "moderate" Arlen Specter type Republicans.

So there is one thing, done completely by liberal democrats, during the Bush years, which contributed in a large part, to the collapse of the markets and financial institutions. I am finding a difficult time pinpointing exactly which CONSERVATIVE issues contributed to this mess, and I will bet you have nothing to offer here. Why? Because you, and your liberal democrat butt buddies are totally full of propagandized bullshit. You just can't help it spewing out, every time you open your pinhead mouths. You have NO substance, NO tangible evidence to support your idiocy, and you assume people in the real world, are as ignorant and narrow minded as you are, to believe the absolute lies and distortions you spew on a daily basis.

This is an excellent point, and yes, he does have responsibility for the spending.

If you're trying to suggest that Republicans are not conservatives fiscally, I wholeheartedly agree. But it is confusing as to why you claim to be a fiscal conservative and still lick their asses even when they're stabbing you in the throat.
 
Wow...

Yes Dixie. I understand how much money that is, and it pisses me off to high heaven. Its idiots like you and your ilk who wish to disregard 1 TRILLION in Bush's spending due to your partisan hackery that I'm pointing out.

Numb nut. Never stopped to think that until Obama, Bush was the most liberal spender of all time.

Stop pretending to care you jackass. You loved the spending for all those years and guess what/ You get more of the same. Your crying now is meaningless. You caused this.

No, I think myself and a multitude of other conservatives, voiced major dissent with Bush on his spending. I posted dozens, if not hundreds of threads, chastising him for just that. You can ignore that fact, and pretend something else happened, but that's how it was here. I'm sure some of the old threads can still be found, if I need to support my case, but I assure you, I spoke out quite often about Bush spending.

I have pointed out, to liberal democrats, on numerous occasions, that Bush outspent the previous two Democrat president's combined. ME... DIXIE... I WAS WHO POSTED THAT!!! So, you either have some kind of weird selective reading problem, or you are a dishonest lying fuck, who simply can't pull your head out of Obama's ass long enough to be honest. ...I'll give you two guesses what I think!

Yeah Dix, you've been a real critic of the Republicans spending. Yep, you were out there carrying the torch! You activist you!

Good on you for calling them out all along!



Retard. Who do you think you're kidding? Jesus.
 
If you're trying to suggest that Republicans are not conservatives fiscally, I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't know WHAT Republicans are anymore! I know what I am... A CONSERVATIVE!

But if you look at the politicians Republicans have turned to since Reagan, every fucking one of them, has been a fiscally liberal apologist, who doesn't seem to have a clue about true conservative REAGAN values. Bush Sr., Dole, Bush Jr., McCain... every one of them, fell all over themselves to not be fiscally conservative! Let's work with the Democrats... let's have Bipartisanship! Let's go along to get along...... MY FRIENDS.... Ughh! I can't speak for all conservatives, but I, for one, am fed up with this! If I hear one one McCain-type republican, suggesting we can "work with his good colleagues across the aisle" I am going to blow a gasket!

The time has come for Conservatives to stand up and demand representation in government. Enough with this "bipartisan" watering down of conservative ideals, to try and appease a few fence sitting "moderates" who frankly, just don't fucking get it.
 
The 250 billion number was off target, assuming all that didn't get included in the deficit figures, I'll have to check...

You are a neo-fascist demagogue WRL. I would wholly support a move to execute filth like you on site. You should be referred to as an "it", not a "he", because you are made out of pure filth. There is nothing you despise more than freedom and mankind. You are anti-human, pro-cruelty, and deserve death.
 
Who did you vote for last year?

Was Reagan a fiscal conservative?

I voted for McCain/Palin, but I by god didn't want to! I had no other possible choice! That's what I mean, when I say conservatives need to get mad, stand up and fucking demand representation in government!!! We didn't have a true conservative representative in McCain, Bush, Dole, or other Bush! Not a damn one of them are true Reagan Conservatives. Year after year, we let the northeast and east coast elites in the party, who are practically democrats, decide who will be our candidate, in a series of really poorly planned primaries. By the time the flyover country gets to vote, the race is over, and we are left with some mealy-mouth repuplicrat, who wants to suck democrat ass every chance he gets.

Was Reagan a fiscal conservative? YES! He certainly was! A true fiscal conservative republican president, with a majority democrat liberal tax-and-spend-a-holic Tip O'Neil-run Congress to work with. IF he had gotten his way, we would have ZERO capital gains tax in America! We have had ZERO death tax in America, and the size and scope of government would have been drastically less than today. I know you had your heart set on nailing me with a trick question, but Ronald Reagan fucking bled Conservatism dude, he just had to deal with a Pinhead Congress. Any more stupid questions, stupid?

Yeah, having Palin on the ticket was a real shout out to the RINOs!!!

Actually, I think the republican elites saw the writing on the wall, and Palin was an 11th-hour attempt to 'correct' course. It failed because McCain totally mishandled Palin. It was as if he was given a hammer, only to pound himself in the head with it. I almost believe John McCain really didn't want to win the presidency.

The bottom line, and my point all along, remains the same. Reagan Conservatism has been dead in the Republican party for... ever since Reagan, really! Of all the people on the Republican side, which I have heard articulate Reagan principles and what I believe in as a Conservative, are Sarah Palin, and Newt Gingrich. I know that Newt couldn't run this past time, because he was under some contractual obligations he wanted to fulfill, I don't know what his plans might be for 2012 and beyond. I think Palin may be a strong candidate for Republicans, and I think this is precisely why you see the left desperately trying to demonize and stigmatize her at every turn.

Whoever the person is, will ultimately not be that important, it's the message. It's core conservative principles and values, no watered down quasi-conservatism, no compromising principles. This is what the base of the Republican party wants, and this is what they better get, or the Republican party might be finished for good.
 
Conservatard.

There's nothing dumber than a loony conservative.

Ah, the evolution of language. At the beginning of the twentieth century the word was arsehole, the prim and proper Americans changed it (in America only) to Asshole. Now they have changed it again to Conservative.

Going by the regular pattern of saying pretty much the opposite of what you mean, you must really love WRL.

We've hit the proverbial first milestone in the Obama Presidency, 100 days. I've complied a bit of information on the Presidents policies and how successful he's been. Most of this will focus on economics as this is the number one concern of Americans right now.

U.S. Economy: Unemployment Rate Reaches 25-Year High

The U.S. unemployment rate jumped in March to the highest level since 1983 and service industries shrank at a faster pace, indicating the economy remains trapped in what’s likely to be the longest recession since the 1930s.

Obama budget calls for record US deficit

United States President Barack Obama unveiled his administration's 2010 United States federal budget on Thursday. The budget calls for a record US$3.6 trillion in spending.


The new budget will use a $1.75 trillion deficit, which would be nearly four times greater than any previous deficit and is $250 billion larger than what was projected just days ago due to a proposed new spending for another bank bailout.

So to help pay for all this massive spending...


US Treasury in plans for record debt sale

The US Treasury on Wednesday opened the floodgates of government bond issuance, revealing plans for a record debt sale in February and more frequent auctions in the months to come.

The announcement came amid growing fears about US government deficits and sent the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rising to 2.95 per cent, up from just over 2 per cent at the end of December.

The rise in Treasury yields has been pushing mortgage rates higher, complicating efforts to revive the economy. The US Federal Reserve said last week it was “prepared to” buy Treasuries if that would be a “particularly effective” way of reducing private borrowing costs.

“The Fed has to be troubled by the fact that mortgage rates have been rising and the buying of Treasuries by the Fed may come sooner than the market expects,” said William O’Donnell, UBS strategist.

Only the largest buyer of US debt is starting to balk at Obama's fiscal ineptness...


China 'worried' about US Treasury holdings

BEIJING (AP) - China's premier expressed concern Friday about its holdings of Treasuries and other U.S. debt, appealing to Washington to safeguard their value, and said Beijing is ready to expand its stimulus if economic conditions worsen.

Premier Wen Jiabao noted that Beijing is the biggest foreign creditor to the United States and called on Washington to see that its response to the global slowdown does not damage the value of Chinese holdings.

"We have made a huge amount of loans to the United States. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I'm a little bit worried," Wen said at a news conference following the closing of China's annual legislative session. "I would like to call on the United States to honor its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets."

Analysts estimate that nearly half of China's $2 trillion in currency reserves are in U.S. Treasuries and notes issued by other government-affiliated agencies.

Washington is counting on China to continue buying Treasuries to fund its massive stimulus package. Last month, visiting Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to reassure Beijing that government debt would remain a reliable investment.

And this chart shows the astronomical rate with which we are now printing money, the last time this was done was in the Weimar Republic, and we are surpassing that ten fold. Please make notice of the gigantic spike at the end.

Dollar Declines Most Since 1985


The dollar dropped the most against the currencies of six major U.S. trading partners since the Plaza Accord almost a quarter-century ago as the Federal Reserve’s plan to purchase Treasuries spurred speculation that it’s debasing the greenback.

Cap-and-trade program would raise electricity prices


Posted: Apr. 1, 2009

Proposed federal efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through "cap-and-trade" programs would raise electricity prices for Wisconsin customers, a group of Midwestern utilities said Wednesday.

Under one scenario, rates could jump by as much as 63% from 2012 to 2030...

President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmakers advocate cap-and-trade, while some Republicans have denounced it as leading to sharply higher energy prices.

http://www.jsonline.com/business/42281387.html


So who still supports Obama's policies? Higher taxes, Higher electric bills, massive record deficits, begging foreign nations to finance our deficit spending, a spiraling dollar. Granted he ran an inspiring campaign that gave people hope, however his actual governance is going to cause serious, detrimental long term damage to this country. So who's still in Obama honeymoon mode, and who's looking clearly at the policies? If you support President Obama, then why? What is it about his policies you support? If you don't and I've missed something, speak up, if you have something to add, speak up!


Long term Republican senators switching parties just to get Obama to campaign with them!
 
Now that you've "complied" a rundown of the inherited bush legacy, maybe you would like to explain the level of Obama's popularity, both his job approval as President, and personally after the first 100 days. Also, don't forget twice as many Americans now feel we're on the right track as compared to the incompetent days of the bush gang. Don't you think the possibility may be that all the anti-Obama vitriol from the hate machine is burying the RW naysayers? His popularity matches and in some instances exceeds that of the revered R. Reagan after his first 100 days! As much as you and yours would love for him to fail it ain't gonna happen and it must be killing you.

Awsome post!

GObama!
