I noticed you already had several negative reviews and I left you positive rep instead.
In other words, you maneuvered to unexplain the idea that Obama polled as the worst president ever. That day might come and you might be the fat lady singin. Until then...
It's cool Disco, no hard feelings, no harm done. I apologize for posting your rep message and breaking TOU.
Really? See I'm a bit color blind so I can't see the diff between pos and neg rep, but all the comments on my rep page are positive. Well, except yours. Where did you see I have neg rep? Wish I could see the diff.
2) The bailouts of the banks: If Obama had not bailed out the banks our dollar would have drastically devalued and we would have had a massive depression similar to the great depression in the '30s. So even though it sounds all well and good (and even deserved) to just say "its their problem - let them fail" it would have had a devestating impact on our country.
how is this monger different than the last monger?
My impression of Obama just rose immensely after Monday's speech- finally, after 3 years...!
If our country slides into a depression, and nobody has any $$ to pay the bills, y'all are probably going to be HAPPY weed is still illegal so it will keep its artificially high value.

Mine too, in a cynically guarded kind of way. Part of me loves the new tone and the approach, but another part of me wonders if this is just posturing for 2012.
"record income disparity"
i see this fallacy repeated over and over...
if you still count people of color as 3/5 human i guess...
pre 1864 now there is "income disparity"
BTW:
as of 9-12-11 we have troops on the ground in Libya...
yea war!!! how is this monger different than the last monger?
Despite repeated assurances from President Obama and military leaders that the U.S. would not send uniformed military personnel into Libya, four U.S. service members arrived on the ground in Tripoli over the weekend. According to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, the four unidentified troops are there working under the State Department's chief of mission to assist in rebuilding the U.S. Embassy.
Bailing them out and introducing an avalanche of moral hazard is going to be even more devastating when the zombie banks finally do implode.
I don't understand how someone on the "left" can be such a proponent for bailing out rich people and furthering the income disparity of this country.
The regurgitated narrative of we would have been worse off is completely flawed IMO. We are going to be much worse off because we keep bailing out bad decisions and saddling the middle class with the responsibility to pay for these bad decisions while CEO's reap huge bonuses for screwing everyone else over.
Your dollar is being devalued because we are monetizing our debt and spending ourselves into oblivion. The economy will not grow until the debt overhang both sovereign and private is resolved. That's just a basic fact of economics that Krugman types failed to understand. Piling more debt on bad debt is a recipe for destruction not prosperity.
You're welcome for the rep SB. I'm making a conscious effort to stay out of these political threads, but it's hard.
I don't see an acceptable alternative in 2012. My vote in a red state will not count anyway, thanks to the electoral college.
