#1 Posted: 8/14/2012 4:05:55 PM Paul Ryan said last Saturday that the nation under President Obama's leadership is struggling through the "worst economic recovery in 70 years "
"No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation"
" And in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But, that didn't make things better."
Did you notice the word nearly ?
This is a prime example of how the slick repulsicans try to con you.
Let me finish what Paul Ryan left off the sentences.
1."The worst economic recovery in 70 years .....following the worst economic collapse in 80 years under 8 years of republican leadership." !
2. No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation... from George Bush.
( Incidentally George, why are you not helping your candidate get elected ? He helped you !)
3. But that didn't make things better,.... because we were blocking everything he tried for 3.5 years !
Did you pick up on the word " nearly" ? |

#2 Posted: 8/14/2012 4:16:38 PM Typically a recession sets the eventual stage for a strong recovery......not so under obama.
How many of those 8 years did the Democrats control Congress?? (How about the last two when the economy took a dive)
Nice attempt turning 'nearly' into 'everything'
More importantly though, even obama realizes Paul Ryan is a lot sharper than he is.

#3 Posted: 8/14/2012 4:17:16 PM If we agree that Obama inherited a bad economy then we must also agree that Obama isn't up to the job. It's time to give Romney/Ryan a try. |

#5 Posted: 8/14/2012 4:42:04 PM "The jobs we create will be in businesses large and small across a wide range of industries. And they'll be the kind of jobs that don't just put people to work in the short term, but position our economy to lead the world in the long-term. We'll create nearly half a million jobs by investing in clean energy - by committing to double the production of alternative energy in the next three years, and by modernizing more than 75% of federal buildings and improving the energy efficiency of two million American homes. These made-in-America jobs building solar panels and wind turbines, developing fuel-efficient cars and new energy technologies pay well, and they can't be outsourced."
President-elect Barack Obama January 10, 2009
Renewable energy projects has created nearly tens of thousands of temporary jobs..
Green-jobs subsidies created 1 job for nearly every $4.85 million spent... |

If we are still talking about the fact that Obama inherited a bad economy it must be because he hasn't been able to fix it. If he hasn't been able to fix it then he must not be up to the job. If he's not up to the job then we should give someone else a try. |

Says some guy named canov but I digress.
Obama definitely deserves a 2nd chance to truly set his legacy.

Exactly! Let's give someone else a try before the obama clan really screw it up even more if they are given a 2nd term.
Hey if you can't fix it in 4 years...well get out of the way for someone else who has a different game plan to fix it....your game plan doesn't work period mr obama!
Romney and Ryan in 012!

that assumes several things: an objective understanding of how bad the economy was when he started, that one president can "fix it" and that it would take just under 4 years or less to do so.

Hey this isn't a dart game. The guy you want to give a try is the guy from the same party, with the same philosophy, the same idea's as Bush. And he had 8 years.
Obama has had only 3.6 so his try isn't even half over kiddo. |

#13 Posted: 8/14/2012 9:39:49 PM Obama/Biden will be back for a 2nd term, Bert & Ernie need to pull in a new voting block,they can't win by only appealing to white males. This is the beginning of the implosion of the republican party. That's why they are scrambling trying to come up with all of these new voting laws to discourage as many potential Obama/Biden voters possible.

The economy is not a faulty transmission. A President can't just fix it. I must have missed that as a President's job description.

What's your fascination on the word "nearly"... He and his cronies in Congress had the keys to the economy for two years.... and gave us Shovel ready projects, cash for Clunkers, .... and Obamacare.
I don't think he addressed the economy very well, do you ?

The Stimulus
Cash for Clunkers
TARP
The Bailouts of GM & Chrysler
ObamaCare

You know who else inherited a difficult situation?
Ronald Reagan.
Instead of whining how bad a President Carter was, he actually led on the issues and the economy turned around. |

I guess that explains the 18+ million jobs created under Reagan. And the elimination of the misery index.
All coincidence, I'm sure. |

Reagan inherited a recession
Your comments are as laughable as clowns
 
Your comparison between Reagan and Obama's economic trouble prior to their presidency is hysterical, but please keep going
