Remember when the Republicans thought Obama was a terrorist, now how funny is that ?

@MasterLee:

I will take that as a compliment who thinks Clinton and Obama always tell the truth. Please block me and prove your lack of education.

@MasterLee: He is actually highly educated =) You should stop assuming. Although I would LOVE to hear your educational background...

@Alien-Zipper: In 2016, the Republicans are the ones running a White supremacist as their candidate. The "brush stroke" fits.

@bijouxbroussard: No it doesn't. It would only work if ALL Republicans support him, which they clearly DO NOT. Try again. Stop trying to label all Republicans as a seamless whole.

@Alien-Zipper: Republicans don't know how to communicate with people of color. They represent this homogeneous ideology and culture. Its xenophobic. Its intolerant. Its ignorance simple and plain. The Dems aren't racist. They are very much more inclined with Blacks and Hispanics, too.

Yawns.....

@Zonuss: Go ahead and yawn if it makes living in denial easier. You guys do like things easy. But remember, for the past 8 years more than 70% of the country says we're headed in the wrong direction. Now, half the country knows what is needed to change direction, but your half just doesn't seem to get it. I think you should change hour party mascot from ass toa pic of he hildebeast, u know, liar

@Katielass: When Hillary wins this next election...I truly do hope you will be here on this site that day. I cannot wait. Because you are not even close to knowing what the truth is about politics dear. 🙂

Typical Democrat behavior .... it's like when you call attention to the crime rate in Chicago and they respond by calling you a racist. Besides, all that crime in Chicago is your fault for not paying enough taxes :)

@Heartlander: Huh. Sorta like the Republican response when you point out that crime in NYC has dropped AFTER they got rid of stop and frisk? =)

Not so .... Although I liked Truman, after the war, his economic policies tried to send America back into the pre-war depression. Eisenhower to the rescue. LBJ had us busy beating up on one another and Nixon gave us a breather for a while. But then that Carter guy seemed more hell-bent on taking America to hell (economically and otherwise) than anything else. Regan to the rescue, and Regan and Bush-1 were great for the economy, except they helped create the SNL debacle. Of course the Clintons didn't miss a chance to help themselves to the easy money exposed by Regan, via Madison Guarantee.

The Clintons and their wall street friends knew how to create bubbles, and it looked good for a while, but unfortunately bubbles tend to crash faster than they inflate ... i.e. the dot-com and the real estate hyper-inflation. When I do the math and and subtract where I started (pre-clinton) from where I ended up (post-Clinton) and then tilt the graph to adjust for inflation, I find myself worse off after Clinton than before. But still, I'm far better off than my friends who invested in Sprint and EnRon ... or were employed by them.

I then put Bush and Obama about equal. Neither very inspiring, economically speaking. All Bush's economic incentives accomplished was to enrich Korean TV manufacturers, and all Obama's "shovel ready" and "clunker buyback" programs did was to out him as a clueless politician.

Haaa .... since the Carter name came up it reminds me of an interesting story.

Carter holds the record for the most four-letter words strung together that I ever heard when someone was making reference to a former president of the US.

I was in a barber shop waiting my turn and the conversation turned to the olympics. And WOW! this guy like ignited and took the floor for 10 full minutes insulting former President Carter. Poor thing. He was an olympic athlete, a world class runner .... and had been preparing for years and years to perform in the 1980 Olympics .. the one Carter decided America should boycott. Talk about a president who crapped on the American people. At that, Carter was the best!

:) Being gay is probably the nicest thing one can say about him.

Otherwise he belongs on the same list as Bernard Madoff.

@Katielass: On this subject, [b][i]the Big Short[/i][/b] is a great movie! Great depiction of how those "bubbles" are so difficult to break. But when they do ...

As I recall from the political spin at the time, team Obama tried to blame it on "hedge fund" managers and investors. That's like saying the doctor that accurately diagnoses your ailment is responsible for why you have the ailment :)

The hedge fund people get credit for discovering the great discrepancy between what the investment bankers (salesmen) claimed they were worth Vs what they actually were worth.

Im still me. Now if that's not what you like, then I have a suggestion. Grow up please. 🙂

@Svarog: no just national review. Not going to post Rachel Madcow either
