Barack Hussein Obama's Performance.

Economically, President Obama’s administration has outperformed President Reagan’s in all commonly watched categories. Simultaneously the current administration has reduced the debt, which skyrocketed under Reagan. Additionally, Obama has reduced federal employment, which grew under Reagan (especially when including military personnel,) and truly delivered a “smaller government.” Additionally, the current administration has kept inflation low, even during extreme international upheaval, failure of foreign economies (Greece) and a dramatic slowdown in the European economy.

Look at that, he beats out Mr. Trickle Down Economics on the job creation front.

Sure job growth will look good when you take over during a recession. And if you are going to write circle jerk articles about politics, at least learn the difference between debt and deficit. And remember, deficit reduction was going to be the end of the world, double dip recession, or whatever you lefties called it and now all of a sudden it is an Obama merit badge.

 

[Jaskalas]

Yeah, my first guess was you propagandists are cheering from the bottom of the recession.

A similar lie is used re part time jobs. As if Obamacare hasn't decimated the work force.

If the objective was for the US to become a model of plutocracy, President Obama has done an excellent job (as have the last four Presidents) especially for those living in an alternate universe.

 

[Angry Irishman]

Idol worship. More to do with the party...not the man. Just like our president, more to do with his party than the country or leadership.

I'm sure the rich are the most happy

So you prefer the policies/party that gave us the recession?

In other words, whatever Obama does he will always be a failure, right?

You speak as if ignorant of Glass-Steagall. It was repealed in 1999, do you recall who was President in '99?

Enriching Wall-street is a bipartisan effort. Pay special attention to the fact that Glass-Steagall was not restored after 2008.

Weak.

Even weaker.

I said nothing of the kind. Look at what I said, not what you want me to say.

Sure,everything's just fine..There aren't empty houses everywhere..
Food prices aren't soaring while portions are getting smaller..
People can get out of high school,get a job + support a family + buy a house..take vacations in their RV
owait..
No,We're teetering on the brink of ww3.
I made more money in 1983 for the same work.
Just keep telling yourself everything's OK and Obama's doing a fantastic job.
America's been being run into the ground since Daddy Bush was in office.
They all belong to the same club..the Bushes,Cheney,Obama..
I'm sure they laugh and toast when someone says "my guy is better"

Forbes is - it's even in the OP,.. take a look.

That's an Op-ed from someone who doesn't know the difference between debt and deficit. See how easily you are misled?

 

[werepossum]

Man, that's the most stupid op-ed I've ever seen in Forbes. Pretty sure I lost brain cells just reading it. Obama reduced the debt?

Yeah, I had hopes when the Dems held a veto-proof Senate and House majority, but they have other priorities. They simply aren't much if any better on this than are the Pubbies.

Yep. Just remember when unemployment was reported to be 10.2% and they needed no republican votes to get stuff passed, their top concern was healthcare reform.

I guess Forbes.com now is part of the "liberuh" media.

Lol

your obama is far from the wizard of smart. anybody who thinks he is..is a brain full of mush.

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...-force-participation-rate-matches-36-year-low

August, as the labor force participation rate matched a 36-year low of 62.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The labor force participation rate has been as low as 62.8 percent in six of the last twelve months, but prior to last October had not fallen that low since 1978.

So that repeal wasn't a Republican idea that the Dems caved to in the name of bi-partisanship? Love how conservatives cry for bi-partisanship when Dems are in power but then blame Dems for the results. Same with NAFTA.

Not blaming Democrats exclusively, just pointing out that both parties share the blame. Republicans clearly are worse on Glass-Steagall. It's much like failure to secure the border and stop illegal immigration - Democrats clearly are worse, but it's an intentionally bipartisan problem. Both parties recognize that they can own an issue just by being slightly less worse, with no practical consequences.

And if the national debt falls under $10T by the time obama leaves office.... then we can call obama a success. Too say obama is reducing debt is very laughable... just more LBD.

And low interest rates? You do know who that helps the most? The CEO's gets mega bonuses because they use low-interest money to buy back their own stock or use the cash from new profits because they were able to grow with zero interest rate loans..... and inflating the market for all the peons in the process.
